xepherys - with the facts that will listed above in mind, I think that we're arriving at the same conclusion from different roads and using different terminology. My point in re the Kurds had more to do with their villanisation in region by the Ottomans, Turks, Syrians, Iraqis etc. over the past 100+ years.
I completely agree with your interpretation of the schools of thought in that region and their differences from ours. That said, I still like my "hot/cold" analogy, not that anything makes war ok.
How the hell did we get to the point where I'm going harken back to the good old days of the Ottoman Empire?
