Nashville: Little Kurdistan
So apparently Nashville is known as, among other nicknames, Little Kurdistan. Since Kurdistan isn't an official country and Turkey and Iraq constantly fight over the borders (just like Kashmir and Tibet, though no fighting involved with Tibet), there are many Kurdish refugees. Because of this influence, Kurds recently protested the war in northern Iraq. And, apparently, there are four mosques in Nashville. I wonder if this will be obvious when we're actually there.
