ISIS Committing Genocide Against the Yazidis

These poor people and their children have been tortured, raped, beheaded, used for child slavery, and children used as soldiers; and, the administration is quiet over it. I thought they cared about human rights?? Maybe now these poor people will get the attention they deserve for their suffering. ISIS is evil and needs to be stamped out everywhere.

Islamic State jihadists appear to be committing genocide against the Yazidi minority in Iraq, UN investigators said, calling for the perpetrators to be brought to justice at the International Criminal Court.

The UN human rights office published a horrifying report describing killings, torture, rape, sexual slavery and the use of child soldiers by the extremists, suggesting they may be guilty of "war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide."

The report, based on interviews with more than 100 witnesses and survivors of attacks in Iraq between June 2014 and February 2015, especially highlights brutal IS attacks on the Yazidis.

IS, which controls a swathe of territory in Iraq and neighbouring Syria, launched a series of systematic and widespread attacks on the Yazidi minority's heartland in the northern Nineveh province last August.

The jihadists consistently separated out men and boys over the age of 14 to be executed, while younger boys were forced to become child solders and women and girls were abducted as the "spoils of war", according to the investigators.

"These attacks were aimed at destroying the Yazidi as a group," said Suki Nagra, head of investigation, suggesting IS was guilty of "genocide" against the minority.

The report, which was ordered by the UN Human Rights Council last September following a request from the Iraqi government, pointed out that some villages "were entirely emptied of their Yazidi population." (AFP)

This genocide has only been going on for 3 years and Yahoo News knew about it. It was widely report on pro-Russian media which blamed Syrian rebels for genocide when western media sources were blaming the Assad regime. That was before the Syrian rebels invaded Iraq and began calling themselves ISIS and started cutting the heads off of Western reporters. Turkey and the Obama administration were and still are primary supporters of the Syrian Rebels. They would have certainly been aware of the truth at that time. In the case of Turkey, their interests seems to striking at the Kurds and are probably glad to be rid of Christians and non-Arabs (white people) from the region. Remember, Turkey has committed mass murder three other times in the past 100 years.

 

We have had several threads and this is just another one with the same message that has been repeated here enough times.

Just a reminder that Mr Obama is President of the United States of America, not of Israel or of the Middle East. Therefore, he has no business attempting to intervene in that affair.

If you are so hellbent on having another war, go off and march into that war yourself. Be very sure to send us a picture postcard of your activities so that we can see if you are willing to put your money where your mouth is.




Bon voyage .....

 

I said nothing about having another war; but I get ya, until they come for you, you have no problem with it, right? Just curious, do you feel any different about it now?

 

Stay out of their war and they will never come here.

BTW, it's what our Founding Fathers demanded: no foreign wars. That's what real patriots want.

 

They will never come here? Where were you on 9-11?

 

and why did they attack on 9/11?

is it because of some "neutrality" on the part of the USA ??



By the way, I worked at the World Trade Center for 13 years and lost some friends in that attack.

 

Iraq had not been invaded yet, and they should never should have invaded there and gone to war. Tell me this, why are they killing the Yazidis. They never attacked ISIS. Evil, no matter where it is, should be denounced. It is a human rights issue, genocide is a crime.

 

This has been going on for three years.. Did you just learn of it? There are lots of Yazidi refugees in Turkey and they are afraid to return to Iraq. Lots and lots of coverage last year.

Excerpt from National Geographic.

For their beliefs, they have been the target of hatred for centuries. Considered heretical devil worshippers by many Muslims—including the advancing militants overrunning Iraq—the Yazidis have faced the possibility of genocide many times over. Now, with the capture of Sinjar and northward thrust of extremists calling themselves the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, or ISIL (also known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS), Iraq's estimated 500,000 Yazidis fear the end of their people and their religion. In less than two weeks, nearly all the Yazidis of Sinjar have fled north, seeking refuge in Kurdish territory, while thousands remained trapped in the rugged Sinjar mountains, awaiting rescue.

"Sinjar is (hopefully not was) home to the oldest, biggest, and most compact Yazidi community," says Khanna Omarkhali, a Yazidi scholar at the University of Göttingen. "Extermination, emigration, and settlement of this community will bring tragic transformations to the Yazidi religion," she adds.
The Yazidis have inhabited the mountains of northwestern Iraq for centuries, and the region is home to their holy places, shrines, and ancestral villages.

Outside of Sinjar, the Yazidis are concentrated in areas north of Mosul, and in the Kurdish-controlled province of Dohuk. For Yazidis, the land holds deep religious significance; adherents from all over the world—remnant communities exist in Turkey, Germany, and elsewhere—make pilgrimages to the holy Iraqi city of Lalesh. The city is now less than 40 miles from the Islamic State front lines.


A Misunderstood Religion


The Yazidi religion is often misunderstood, as it does not fit neatly into Iraq's sectarian mosaic. Most Yazidis are Kurdish speakers, and while the majority consider themselves ethnically Kurdish, Yazidis are religiously distinct from Iraq's predominantly Sunni Kurdish population. Yazidism is an ancient faith, with a rich oral tradition that integrates some Islamic beliefs with elements of Zoroastrianism, the ancient Persian religion, and Mithraism, a mystery religion originating in the Eastern Mediterranean.


This combining of various belief systems, known religiously as syncretism, was what part of what branded them as heretics among Muslims. While some Yazidi practices resemble those of Islam—refraining from eating pork, for example—many Yazidi practices appear to be unique in the region. Yazidi society is organized into a rigid religious caste system, and many Yazidis believe that the soul is reincarnated after death. While its exact origins are a matter of dispute, some scholars believe that Yazidism was formed when the Sufi leader Adi ibn Musafir settled in Kurdistan in the 12th century and founded a community that mixed elements of Islam with local pre-Islamic beliefs.

Yazidis began to face accusations of devil worship from Muslims beginning in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. While the Yazidis believe in one god, a central figure in their faith is Tawusî Melek, an angel who defies God and serves as an intermediary between man and the divine. To Muslims, the Yazidi account of Tawusî Melek often sounds like the Quranic rendering of Shaytan—the devil—even though Tawusî Melek is a force for good in the Yazidi religion.


"To this day, many Muslims consider them to be devil worshipers," says Thomas Schmidinger, an expert on Kurdish politics the University of Vienna. "So in the face of religious persecution, Yazidis have concentrated in strongholds located in remote mountain regions," he adds.


The Yazidis are not the only religious minority threatened by the Islamic State. Thousands of Christians have fled Mosul since the extremists captured the city in early June. For now, religious minorities are finding refuge in Kurdish territory in the north. But the Islamic State is capturing villages just a few miles from the Kurdish capital of Erbil. With the security of Kurdish territory in doubt, the U.S. launched air strikes on Islamic State positions late last week.


Organized anti-Yazidi violence dates back to the Ottoman Empire. In the second half of the 19th century, Yazidis were targeted by both Ottoman and local Kurdish leaders, and subjected to brutal campaigns of religious violence. "Yazidis often say they have been the victim of 72 previous genocides, or attempts at annihilation," says Matthew Barber, a scholar of Yazidi history at the University of Chicago who is in Dohuk interviewing Yazidi refugees. "Memory of persecution is a core component of their identity," he says.


Isolated geographically, and accustomed to discrimination, the Yazidis forged an insular culture. Iraq's Yazidis rarely intermarry with other Kurds, and they do not accept religious converts. "They became a closed community," explains Khanna Omarkhali, of the University of Göettingen.

 

if that's the case then the UN should invade he USA for its evil crimes by police against innocent blacks

 

desert storm was 10 years prior to 911, what are you on about.

 

I know you are deflecting but go ahead an defend them. I'm sure they will feel the same about you.

 

It has been going on in Syria since 2012. The reason I posted this is because the media never talks about it. Just wanted to bring on awareness of their situation.

 

that still doesnt negate the fact america invaded iraq before any muslims attacked euro/americasphere

 

Your post reminds everyone that genocide is a requirement against the Jews also.
Here is the proof with English Translation.

Invading Iraq and destroying Syria are the goals of Clean Break Strategy. Look at it instead of dancing around it.

Actually, the blacks should go back to africa, form an army, and attack the arab muslims for capturing/kidnapping them and selling them into slavery, and shipping them across the atlantic. It was the arab muslims who are primarily responsible for their coming to the Western hemisphere, but of course, most liberals prefer to blame the white man no matter what the circumstances.

 

Are you kidding? hezbollah filth was bombing civilians in paris in the 1980s...geeez, will people get out a history book and read it for a change?

 

All the slavers who owned the vessels which transported the victims and who owned them in the South were white Christians. Those traitors in Dixie who fought a war to maintain that evil were white Christians as well.

 

Sigh, euro/America would be white America. Muslims hadn't attacked white America. Understand?

Financed by Jewish ppl also

 

You are factually wrong. The arab slave traders had ships of their own.

 

You claimed: "that still doesnt negate the fact america invaded iraq before any muslims attacked euro/americasphere"

That does not refer to white, blacks, purples, oranges, greens, mars or jupiter.

It is a ludicrous claim that until 1991, muslims had not conducted terrorism against the US or Europe, which is patently false. Try again.

Is there a point to be made here?

 

You missed the point, which was Muslims never attacked the nation who invaded Iraq and murdered over a million iraqi's. Don't be mad at me Ponting out the obvious. You want to discuss white colonialism, we can go there too

 

When you stated the muslims never attacked europe or america, you were wrong.

Now you change the goalposts, so its only america?

How many times do I need to quote YOUR post?
