Kurdish Christians[a][4][5][6] are Kurds who follow Christianity. Though the majority of Kurds were converted to Islam during the expansion of the Islamic caliphates in the 7th century,[7] there still remained a number of Kurdish Christians. Modernly however, the majority of Kurdish Christians are converts. A number of evangelical Kurdish churches have been established in recent times, in Erbil, Selimani, and Duhok in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, and in Hassakeh, Qamishli, Kobani, Amouda, and Afrin (until 2018) in the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria.[8]
