Jesus
CRITICAL: as in Persian and Pashto, the small Kurdish Christian presence (historically Assyrian/Chaldean rather than ethnically Kurdish) has not produced a rival native transliteration; ‘Îsa’ is used without naming controversy. The risk is entirely in content: ‘Îsa’ still carries the Quranic prophet-only, non-crucified, non-divine narrative that must be actively corrected.
