The '''Kurds''' are an ethnic group living in a region which extends from the Taurus mountains, to the Zagros Mountains in [[Turkey]], [[Iran]], and [[Iraq]].  <ref>Appiah & Gates, ''The Dictionary of Global Culture'', Alfred A. Knopf, New York 1997</ref> They speak Kurdish, a language belonging to the Indo-Iranian branch of the Indo-European language family. Most Kurds strongly desire a homeland, and their nationalism has led to them being persecuted, especially in [[Turkey]], which is home to more Kurds than any other nation. Most Kurds are Sunni [[Muslims]]; Sufism (a spiritual and universalist movement founded by Hazrat Inayat Khan early in the 20th century) is widely practiced as well.
