Yes, Lurî and Feylî Kurds are both Shia but this conversion happened recently. Formerly, they were Yarsan. Yarsanism in itself shares many similarities with Shia Islam (although not in its pure, original form but rather in its modern, corrupted form), hence why it became more attractive to them.Quote:

Lurs specifically Bakhtiyars especially those living in Fars and Isfahan have nothing to do with Kurds really, they are just Nomadic Persians. Lurs of Lorestan, Ahvaz, and the western parts changed from Kurdish identity as it became more affiliated with the Ottoman state.Quote:

I saw 9% North European in a Kurd but never above 10%.Quote:
