Kurdishology is the study of the traditions and history of the Kurdish people who are reputedly the largest stateless community in the world. A community with a great history, they are spread over in Turkey, Syria, Iran and Iraq, with Turkey having the largest population. In Turkey, they have a political party and have a bigger influence in the nation's day to day affairs of running the country.
I raised Kurdishology since it plays significant roles in Islamic studies. A point to ponder is the origin of Prophet Ibrahim who is claimed by Kurdishologists to have been from the Kurdish people who are also Semitic, like Arabs and B'nai Israel. While many scholars attribute his origin to have been B'nai Israel, modern scholars are of the opinion that he was a Kurdish.
Sheikh Abdisalam, a learned Somali scholar was once asked by his friend the origin of Prophet Ibrahim and his response was Mesopotamia or Babylonia.
