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.
I agree.
If people voted for McCain, they voted for this.
If they voted for Obama, they voted for this.
And if they have ever, at any time condemned someone else for voting third party or write in instead of one of those two then they didn’t just incidentally vote for this, they have been actively campaigning for it.
Sometimes there isn’t a lesser evil between the two major parties.
If she said that they she is truly evil and stupid.
BTW, here's some questions to ponder:
Where is the National Organization for Women (NOW)?
Where is our CnC? Oh yeah, he's fundraising. I spit on the Barack name.
Where is the United Nations? Right, they're so concerned about the evil Jews protecting themselves from the gutter Palistinians rocket bombardments.
Where is the rest of the World that allows the barbaric ISIS to exist and spread?
Not discounting the individual Muslim attacks on our citizens (think DC snipers, etc.), exactly when do we start to counter the horror of Islam? I guarantee when the Islamists hit us hard again, and it WILL happen, the backlash will be beyond Fegov control.
Travis Mcgee has posted numerous photos of the IS creatures and their numerous convoys that could have been bombed into oblivion. Why we and other civilized nations don't do it is beyond me. Talk about needing to be deaded yesterday.
Apparently, Western civilization has some kind of suicidal tendencies due to political correctness and misplaced compassion.
I guarantee when the Islamists hit us hard again, the backlash will be beyond Fedgov to control. Think of all the experienced ex-military, not to mention countless self-defense gun-owners. Give us just one Beslan, and the sh*t WILL hit the fan. Maybe that's why we only see "lone wolves" as in Ft. Hood or Shoe-bomber or Boston Marathon or DC snipers. Maybe those idiots know better than to attack in mass and are just biding their time while America brings in more of their gutter refuges.
When you vote for the lesser of two evils, you’re voting for evil.
Yes, she is.
Where is the United Nations? Right, they’re so concerned about the evil Jews protecting themselves from the gutter Palistinians rocket bombardments.
The UN “peacekeepers” have a long history of raping women and children in the areas they’re deployed including Sudan and Haiti.
Qatar pipeline through Syria needed a regime change.
If they voted for the people that armed Isis then they voted for the people that armed Isis. If they voted against those people, they voted against them. Thats how voting works. The people they chose and they themselves bear responsibility.
Agreed. The kurds are the only ones who seem to win against ISIS. I dont know how trustworthy they are in the future and the Turks are putting pressure not to arm them, hut to hell with Turkey. What did they ave do for us.
And they let isis cross their land.
So Obama golfs away...
Americans are sick of sending their sons and daughters to die for goals that won’t be kept. No one wants to die for bringing a few months of freedom to a corner of the world.
As the The Clarion Project article shows, the rule of Islam defiles women then those same males castigate women....Muslim men who follow today's radical Islam, have exceedingly filthy minds and habits.
>>>I cant wait for Obbama to leave office and for some one that understands that stuff like this has to be taken on immediately and violently<<<
Do you think Hillary is up for the task?
Seriously, on this one. The US is not the only nation in the world with the ability to project power. Where is England, France, Germany, Italy, Canada, Australia, Brazil, Russia, India, Turkey.
Do they support sex slavery ending in dog food???
I agree with that.
What, everyone knows our real enemy are Christians, the Republicans and Joe Arpaio. So nobody cares about the “war on women” literally being carried out in Iraq where BO pulled all the troops and set up the mass murdering rampage.
ISIS should be hunted down like the cockroaches they are.
