Not sure what Hezbollah your talking about, but PKK and the Lebanese Hezbollah are good allies, I know it sounds surprising but they continually train eachother's fighters, and they don't like the other's opponents.

religious/conservative residents? Are young people there more open to these ideals than the older generations?

It's important to know there is a difference between religious and conservative. Most of the fighters in the YPG are devout Muslims, but my guess is that they are not very conservative.

At the request of Iran, Assad has publicly announced that it would be permissible for Kurds to have their autonomy.

What will be the role of religion in Rojava? I know the YPG claims to be a secular group and that your trying to establish a secular state, but to be honest, shooing away religion and trying to tuck it quietly into only the private sphere has never worked in religious societies. The Arabs suffered greatly from this when the secular dictatorships of the 50's repressed Islamic groups so much that they turned to radicalism and extremism and now your people are having to sacrifice your time, effort, and lives to fight ISIS because of the disastrous policies of Saddam, Assad, and Nasser. Much like I guess sex education, you can't put like an eternal taboo on discussing religion in the public sphere, so what level of public discourse would be allowed on the topic of religion? Will people be able to request religious schools? Will people be taught about not just their religion but also the religion of others?

Also thanks for fighting ISIS, I think the entire international community is very grateful for it.
