The harrowing tale of one girl repeatedly raped, sent to a slave market and who then committed suicide is just the tip of a horrific iceberg.
At least 150 Yazidi women and girls killed themselves after they were forced to become Islamic State sex slaves, according to a woman working with some of the survivors who managed to escape.
In one of the most comprehensive accounts of the effects of Islamic State brutality, details emerged of the ordeals faced by hundreds of Yazidi women, very often after their male relatives were butchered by Islamic State members.
Irifan Mahdi, who is trying to help the women rehabilitate into some semblance of normative society spoke of the horrors in an interview with the Sputnik news organization’s Arabic website.
She told the story of Jilan Barjess-Naif, 17, “a beautiful green-eyed girl, with rare blonde hair, who slashed her own wrists in a public bathhouse near Mosul, northern Iraq, which is under Islamic State control.”
She was separated from the less attractive girls and singled out for special rape treatment before being put up for sale in a sex market.
After she committed suicide, Islamic State members threw her body from the bathhouse into the nearest garbage dumpster.
Jilan’s sister, Jihan, committed suicide a few days after being captured and transferred, along with other girls, to A-Raqqa, the Islamic State’s capital, in order to be sold at a slave market.
Their pregnant mother, also captured, gave birth to a child in a cave. She was freed recently and returned home “as a mad woman” after the suicides of her daughters.
As if all of this was not enough, Islamic State executed six of Jilan and Jihan’s siblings and their father and arrested 20 other members of the family. The whereabouts of some are still unknown.
The fate of the Barjess-Naif family from Qar-Aziz in the Sinjar region of Iraq is by no means unique, according to Majid.
Mahdi said she knows of 150 Yazidis who committed suicide and believes the real figure is considerably higher.
“They preferred to die than to live in brutal sexual slavery and violence by organization members,” she said.
“The bodies of some who committed suicide were thrown to the dogs,” said Yazidi nurse Amal Hasou, who works in an IDP (internally displaced people) camp.
Hasou said Islamic State members even told the girls that if one commits suicide her body would be thrown into the garbage and served as a meal for dogs.
Most of the girls cut their wrists or used the hijabs they had been forced to wear to hang themselves. Some threw themselves to their deaths from the vehicles used to transport them.
If there is such a thing as a just war, a war to exterminate ISIS to the last man would be it.
Another choice would be to arm Christian militias. But muslims forbid that, so that's why we don't do it.
I'd love to see how a REAL American President would deal with the ISIS bastards. But, Nooo, we're stuck with the muzzie-sucking a-hole douchebag-in-chief who pounds it to anything even remotely anti-American. May he crap on a land mine...
After over a year, Obama admits he does not have a strategy to fight ISIS.
But he has time to goof off in LA for two days to raise money when he is not running for anything.
They are sick of wars, but not in the way most people think. They are sick of wars we have no intention of winning nor any plan to win.
However, arming the Kurds and other fighting groups is not us fighting on the ground.
We’ve been watching this for years now. If president, I would already have a trained group of Kurdish fixed and rotary wing pilots, trained group of crew served weapons experts, and trained ground warriors. They would have their weapons, there would be a relationship with a Kurdish government, and the so-called interested neighboring countries would be told to shut up.
Incidentally, I agree with Trump that the oil should be taken out of the hands of ISIS. I would close those wells down that are in ISIS hands.

Nice graphics,
Psychopaths sure, but I call them ‘reprobates’ too, and this reprobate McCain fell on his sword in allegiance to give us that demoniac Obama,
“And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; “ Romans 1:28
It’s going to be much worse during the Tribulation. Especially during the last half or Great Tribulation.
But I hear ya. ISIS is a new level of evil.
It wouldn’t take much of the extra special spice added to these monsters’ tea to put an end to them and their bad behavior.
I believe the American people are sick of wars.
Sure we are but we could make a difference by making a serious attempt to bomb them. What we’re doing now is just for show and it’s having no real impact.
We could also be helping those being killed by isis. We’re not doing that.
We could have stayed a little longer in Iraq and this wouldn’t have happened. We helped overthrow Libya and they well be overrun by isis. Sooner or later, we’re going to have to deal with it.
We don’t have to put boots on the ground to make a real difference. The problem is that Obama and his muslim brotherhood pals are on the wrong side.
May they rest in peace. What a choice...
ISIS ended up with a lot of our weapons and gear.
You are so right. I wonder if that's not something Israel could do, quietly and on the sly.
That's why I asked, "Is it Time yet?"
We'll leave that topic for another time.
Where are comments from the feminist groups (NOW, etc.)???
Show anywhere I’m post-trib.
Thanks.
Here is the real crime against humanity. Women in the West are idiots to complain...for the most part.
Good question. They are responding to this ISIS outrage the exact same way they responded to Bill Clinton's abuse of women. In other words, there's no response at all.
But should some Republican somewhere undertip a waitress, all hell will break loose.
Certainly not with the United States. I have begun to think that he drew out all of our forces, and refuses to truly help those in need of our assistance, because he could not stand GW Bush having a success story in Iraq.
Didn’t that contraceptive addict (Fluke?) say she’d rather be a sex slave in a Muslim country than be “touched” by a Republican?
That is the liberal mind-set summed up.
