whats that sun in our flag?

[dyaoko]

why our flag has a sun in it ?
is it because kruds were sun worshiper in ancient times?

i read a book that said kurds were so wise...i those ages, humans used to pray for animals or stones...but kurds prayed for sun..
and it is logical , sun is the source of all of the eneregies in the world...

so do you think , that sun in our flag is because we were sun wroshiper before?

[Diri]

Definetly! Maybe you should add a poll to this?


Kurds have before being Muslim been Yezidi - The Yezidi pray three times each day - when they pray they look at the sun... and when they pray no nonbeliever must see them... Because then their prayers won't be accepted by God... or something like that...

[bamerni]

it stand for kdp. and for newroz.. 21

[dyaoko]

this flag been designed by Iranian Kurds. KDP(south) has nothing to do with that sun.

[kurdistani]

Sorry... But the Kurdish flag in use to day was disigned by the BedirXan's in the 1930s...
It was first raised in Mahabad.... in 1946

[dyaoko]

yeah and it has nothing to do with KDP -(Barzani)

[Diri]

The reason why we have this flag is:

The flag is like a picture from the beautifull nature in Kurdistan - The Sun is RISING and the sky is RED and the land is GREEN and fertile...

The reason we have 21 rays on the sun are supposed to be Yezidi - from NEW ROJ - NEW ROZ - the 21 rays prepresent the 21st of March...

[Mosul]

The sun is for education not for sun worshiping, why dont you look on the internet. Qazi Muhammed made the flag.

[pepula]

i think its a beautiful flag. it was first raised in mehabad by qazi mohammed and has absolutely nothing to dowith the kurdish political parties. it has 21 sides on the sun representing the 21st march (NEWROZ)-which has been an old tradition for the kurdish people for centuries.

[dyaoko]

The sun is for education not for sun worshiping, ....

...Sun and education ? how sun means education ?

[Mosul]

i promis you it means education, i have read it off many sites, Qazi Muhammed a Sunni Kurd made the flag you think he made the sun to repersent sun worshiping? cmon mnow, if you like i could show you a site were it says what the flag stand for?

[Diri]

Look - I have MILLIONS of sources to tell you that the SUN is for Yazdani religion - IT IS ABOUT REMEMBERING YOUR ROOTS - AND QAZI MOHAMMED DIDN*T MAKE THE FLAG! Why are you spreading LIES?

AND A DOZEN other sites that have USED THAT DESCRIPTION!




Do you know what Turks say??? "HE WHO FORGETS HIS ROOTS IS A FALSE PERSON" - AND IF WE DENY AND SAY THAT YAZDANISM WASN'T OUR NATIONAL RELIGION BEFORE WE WOULD BE FALSE!

I am Muslim - and I answer only to GOD - AND GOD SAYS: "KNOW YOURSELF!"

GO and READ the Holy Quran - if you don't believe me...
