    Iraq: Opposition to the Government in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI)

    Country Policy and Information Note Iraq: Opposition to the government in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI) Version 2.0 June 2021 Preface Purpose This note provides country of origin information (COI) and analysis of COI for use by Home Office decision makers handling particular types of protection and human rights claims (as set out in the Introduction section). It is not intended to be an exhaustive survey of a particular subject or theme. It is split into two main sections: (1) analysis and assessment of COI and other evidence; and (2) COI. These are explained in more detail below. Assessment This section analyses the evidence relevant to this note – i.e. the COI section; refugee/human rights laws and policies; and applicable caselaw – by describing this and its inter-relationships, and provides an assessment of, in general, whether one or more of the following applies: • A person is reasonably likely to face a real risk of persecution or serious harm • The general humanitarian situation is so severe as to breach Article 15(b) of European Council Directive 2004/83/EC (the Qualification Directive) / Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights as transposed in paragraph 339C and 339CA(iii) of the Immigration Rules • The security situation presents a real risk to a civilian’s life or person such that it would breach Article 15(c) of the Qualification Directive as transposed in paragraph 339C and 339CA(iv) of the Immigration Rules • A person is able to obtain protection from the state (or quasi state bodies) • A person is reasonably able to relocate within a country or territory • A claim is likely to justify granting asylum, humanitarian protection or other form of leave, and • If a claim is refused, it is likely or unlikely to be certifiable as ‘clearly unfounded’ under section 94 of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002.

    Cosmo-Psycho-Logos of the Kurdish Ethnic Group

    International Journal of Latest Research in Humanities and Social Science (IJLRHSS) Volume 04 - Issue 07, 2021 www.ijlrhss.com || PP. 11-18 Cosmo-Psycho-Logos of the Kurdish Ethnic Group Andrei A. Gagaev1, Pavel A. Gagaev2, Anastasia A. Osmushina3 1 National Research Mordovia State University, 68 Bolshevistskaya street, Saransk, Russia 2 Penza State University, 40 Kranaya street, Penza, Russia 3 National Research Mordovia State University, 68 Bolshevistskaya street, Saransk, Russia Abstract: Cosmo-Psycho-Logos is an inter-subject methodology of research that enables us to reseal the epistemology, the ontology, the logic, and the way of thinking of the ethnos. What are Kurdish ethnic thinking models, identity and identification, foundations of science, discovering, and inventing? Nobody has ever investigated Cosmo-Psycho-Logos of the Kurds. Our research is founded on folklore texts analysis with the historical-comparative principle because the semantics of folk tales are unique in each ethnic group. Our comparison reveals not similarities but differences in similarities. So we have created a parametric model of Kurdish Cosmo-Psycho-Logos comprising epistemology, ontology, logic, general system theory, ethics, aesthetics, messianic role, mission, objective function, fate, purpose in history, anthropology, tectology, praxeology, superethnic intentions, and psychosemantic structure of folk tales that includes pretext and pratext, nominal, real, deconstructive, epochal, and ethnic meanings, after-meaning, proper meaning acculturation, reception, retorsion, personal meaning, superethnic meaning, and general meaning. Keywords: Kurds ethnos, Cosmo-Psycho-Logos Introduction It is impossible to deny the existence of Kurdish society. There are tactical problems of the survival of the Kurdish ethnic group and the formation of the Kurdish state [7], and there is a strategic problem of the development of the thinking and Cosmo-Psycho-Logos of the Kurds and their competitive survival in culture and science in the global world.

    Tawsi Melek, Religion and Innovation

    International Journal of Social Science Studies Vol. 8, No. 1; January 2020 ISSN 2324-8033 E-ISSN 2324-8041 Published by Redfame Publishing URL: http://ijsss.redfame.com Tawsi Melek, Religion and Innovation Michael Das Correspondence: Michael Das, E-mail: [email protected]. Received: August 8, 2019 Accepted: November 22, 2019 Available online: November 28, 2019 doi:10.11114/ijsss.v8i1.4635 URL: https://doi.org/10.11114/ijsss.v8i1.4635 Abstract Sheikh Adi Ibn Musafir, who was born 1079 in Lebanon and spent most of his life in Syria, did something no one has since attempted: He invented a new God, Whom He called Tawsi Melek, “The Angel of the Highest Order” (from the Kurdish) and a new religion to go with Him. Sheikh Adi, a Sufi, and His colleagues, a ragtag fraternity of Buddhists, Christians, Hindus and Jews wrote a detailed explanation of This Angelic Being and His Pillars of Faith called the Kitab al Jilwa, “The Book We Wrote.” The people Sheikh Adi taught about Tawsi Melek, called themselves Yazidi, the descendants of Angels, or “The Defenders of the Place”. Who attacked them? Other Christians, Muslims, and Jews without restraint. Weary of war, dogma, displacement, and the shear ridiculousness of it all, Sheikh Adi led a revolution through Tawsi Melek. What did Tawsi Melek say about His religious contemporaries and reasons for their Crusades? “All the books of those who are without decency are altered by them; and they have declined from them, although they were written by their prophets and the apostles. That there are interpolations is seen in the fact that each sect endeavors to prove that the others are wrong and to destroy their books.” Sheikh Adi and the Yazidi wanted none of it.

    A Brief Review of Yezidi Beliefs and Customs, and of Any Possible Relations Between Them and Zoroastrian Beliefs and Customs By: Kersey H

    A Brief Review of Yezidi Beliefs and Customs, and of Any Possible Relations between them and Zoroastrian Beliefs and Customs By: Kersey H. Antia y first encounter with Yezidism and the Yezidis came as a graduate student at the N.C. State University during 1965, when I ran into the MYezidi and Kurdish students who were glad to relate with me after finding out that I was Zoroastrian. We had long discussions about the Yezidis. My wife even remembers me sending some donations even as a college student to their cause, to their American Associations. I remember one of them giving me a book on Yezidism with a Parsi-style picture of Zoroaster with a caption “Zoroaster our prophet.” Ever since then I began to read a lot about Yezidism, most of it too complex and confusing to clearly attest to their being Zoroastrian, though Zoroastrian elements in it are often very apparent and distinct. Moreover, being a devoted student of Iranian history and culture, my study led me to believe that the Kurds in general and the Yezidis in particular are perhaps racially closest to the Parsis and Irani Zoroastrians than any other race in the world, as they, especially the Yezidis, have not married outside their race and mingled with the Arabs. Many scholars I consulted in this regard readily reinforced this view. Among the many books I have read regarding the Yezidis, one of the first ones was: The Yezidis: Their life and Beliefs, by Sami Said Ahmed, (University of California, Los Angeles, edited by Henry Field, Field Research Projects, Miami, Florida 1975).

This study also describes the claim of delegation of Indian experts that Yeha temple has been a Hindu (Jain) temple. The study was conducted by personal visit and observation at the excavation site and its museum, discussion with German expert and local community. Findings are based on observation and findings of joint Indian-Ethiopian team from New Delhi and Experts from Mekelle University which visited to study archeologist sites. The previous studies indicated that origin of Yeha civilization was Southern Arabia. The German Archeologist linked it to Sabaean culture. They called the structure as Sabaean Temple. But, the visit of team of Indo-Ethiopian expert to the excavation site disputed their claim. They linked it to Indian temples and found evidence of strong resemblance of present cultural practices of orthodox Christian with Indian Hindus. The inscriptions found at Almaqah temple of Yeha is of Brahmi script.
