Kurdish Christians[a] refers to ethnic Kurds who follow Christianity.[4][5][6] Some Kurds had historically followed Christianity and remained Christian when most Kurds were converted to Islam, however, the majority of modern Kurdish Christians are converts.[7] Historically, Kurdish converts to Christianity came from diverse backgrounds, including Ancient Iranian religion, Zoroastrianism, Islam, and Yazidism. Evangelical churches have been established in recent times in Erbil, Selimani, and Duhok in Iraqi Kurdistan, and in Hassakeh, Qamishli, Kobani, Amouda, and Afrin (until 2018) in the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria.[8]
