IS Forces Kill 500 Yazidis, Some of Whom Were Buried Alive
Arutz Sheva ^ | 10/8/14 | Gil Ronen

Terrorists from the Islamic State (formerly ISIS) have killed at least 500 members of Iraq's Yazidi ethnic minority during their offensive in the north, Iraq's human rights minister told Reuters on Sunday.

The killings reported by Iraqi Human Rights Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani to Reuters add to a long list of atrocities reportedly committed by the radical group in Iraq and neighboring Syria, where it wants to create a caliphate.

"Some of the victims, including women and children, were buried alive in scattered mass graves in and around Sinjar," he said, and added that some 300 women were kidnapped as slaves.

"We have striking evidence obtained from Yazidis fleeing Sinjar and some who escaped death, and also crime scene images that show indisputably that the gangs of the Islamic States have executed at least 500 Yazidis after seizing Sinjar," Sudani said in a telephone interview. "In some of the images we have obtained there are lines of dead Yazidis who have been shot in the head while the Islamic State fighters cheer and wave their weapons over the corpses," said Sudani. "This is a vicious atrocity."

The minister's comments could pile pressure on the United States – which has carried out air strikes on IS targets in response to the group's latest push through the north – to provide more extensive support.

Yazidis are one of many Iraqi minorities persecuted by the Islamic State, which adheres to a fundamentalist branch of Sunni Islam. The terrorists offer people living in territories they control to either convert to their faith or face death.

At least 300 Yazidi families in the villages of Koja, Hatimiya, and Qaboshi, which were surrounded by the Islamists, are being forced into converting, witnesses reported on Saturday.

The threat posed by the offensive sent an estimated 130,000...

Bomb after bomb after bomb, back to the 13th century!

That would be an improvement for these savages....they wish to live in the 7th century...I would say we should bring that to them. Bomb them back to the stone age.

You're right about killing them all, there is simply no negotiating with these savages, there is no living with them either. They are so inbred, that they are below normal humans that they are not worth keeping alive.

I’m afraid it won’t be long until we have all come across some video of children being murdered in horrible ways.

If we find the backbone to destroy Islam it would be the will of Allah which would be funny.

Nazis killed children, the elderly as if they were sick cattle, drained every last ounce of work out of the able-bodied and then killed them. It was not personal, just an efficient factory. With these people, the murder is personal. They want payback from all non-Moose Limbs for refusing to acknowledge Mad Mo as the profit. They’re coming for us all.

Here, we have occasional short blackouts. I’m training my son to find the nearest weapon in the dark, and keep a flashlight handy.

Full disclosure. I’m watching Watchmen, and just saw Rorschach at his darkest. It’s a good movie for our times.

So because this doesn’t really represent Islam, “moderate, peaceful” Muslims are holding mass vigils and protests all over America at public venues, street marches, college campuses and on websites and blogs denouncing this hideous violence as against Islamic teachings, as a violation of what it means to be Muslim, and as a call to action for Muslims to rise up all over the world against this perversion of their religion. In addition, liberals of every stripe, from sensitive college-aged young people to soccer moms and assorted yoga practitioners, as well as gays and feminists, are adding their collective voices in solidarity with this pushback against a small, violent splinter group that is spreading bloodshed and terror instead of promoting Islam’s true teachings of peace and obedience to God.

Wouldn’t a MOAB be better?

Naah. Cluster bomblets by the dump truck load, with some fuel-air aerosol munitions tossed in to make pretty colors.

The important thing is Barry and Hilliary’s poll #s and that Barry’s vacations continue uninterrupted. The fate of the poor unfortunates on that mountain was sealed the second Barry Sotero became the “leader” of the free world.

On the lighter brighter side - if they kill all the good people there won’t be an ethical problem nuking them.

This story reminds me of one of the plot threads in the Count of Monte Cristo, a personal favorite. One of the bad guys is involved in betraying Ali Pasha to the Ottomans. Maybe it was loosely based on this incident.

And God bless them for it. But AFAIK, they are neither liberals nor (obviously) Muslims.
