#1 Any bets these Kurds:
a. don't like jihadis

* TOPIX > [Groong] THE RISE OF TURKISH ALAVI ISLAM, which includes Alavis of Kurdish origin.

I have read in various MilBlogs that the Alavis/Alevis are deemed as pro-Marxist-Communists by many Turks + other ethnics.

OTOH, IIRC as per RUSSIA TODAY?, many dedicated Soviet-Russian Communists were also Christians despite the Commie penchant for anti-Religious Scientific-Intellectualism based Secular Atheism.
