I am a 14-year-old Yazidi girl given as a gift to an ISIS commander. Here’s how I escaped.

Of course she didn’t say that.

She said it in Arabic, or whatever her native language is.

What you read is how the the author, Mohammad A. Salih, translated it into English.

What can I do?

Arm yourselves, train, and never be a defenseless again. Ultimately your personal security rests with you.

I want to leave this country altogether. This country is no place for me anymore. I want to go to a place where I might be able to start over, if that is even possible.

Come to America, through Mexico walking across the Rio Grande if possible, where you will not need a visa or any documentation.

obvious plea to live somewhere else...perhaps she means the USA?

This is propaganda.

Years ago I read something that made a lot of sense. It said that immigrants from other countries tend to be more Christian than the country they came from- and immigrants from Christian countries tend to be more Protestant than the country they came from.

Obama has allowed most of this ancient Christian population to be slaughtered. An American who was president would be ashamed to his bones of having done that. But no small part of the persecution of Christians in Iraq happened back when Bush was POTUS - and he had an American army in Iraq at the time. I don’t know how he sleeps at night over that.

It doesn’t read like a 14 year old wrote it. It reads like a propaganda piece written by an adult trying to stir up support for a political cause.

To be clear...I think ISIS does this and more evil acts that we don’t even know about....I just am cautious about believing this particular story as being a true account of an actual person’s experience.

Perhaps. I am not sure whose propaganda this piece promotes or the motive though. I see no reason myself to disbelieve it.

I missed the part where she explained why they were not armed...or do DEMOCRATS run that society?

Propaganda.

This is the 2014 version of ripping babies out of incubators.

She didn’t say “gender” in any language.

No, she probably said “sex”.

And the guy who wrote the article followed his employer’s Style Guide and wrote “gender”.

Excellent! We need to spread the word, and pull the ostriches’ heads out of the sand.

Agree, but I believe this story is fake. Why would captors allow them to keep cell phones?
