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 organizations 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.
Jilans sister, Jihan, committed suicide a few days after being captured and transferred, along with other girls, to A-Raqqa, the Islamic States 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 Jihans 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.
But all the horrors of the Bush war!!
This part of what will haunt Obama in hell.
no...... Hillary is all about what is best for Hillary.....currently I want some one Like Scott Walker really anything but a democrat. the next president has to repair all the damage that has been since George senior left office in 1992.
I will be willing vote democrat. the day the democrat party admits that it ran the greatest president of the twentieth century out of there party in other words when hell freezes over.
I read an article about the Yazidi complaining that a Christian humanitarian group was trying to convert them because they were passing out Bibles along with food and supplies. Got the Christians shut down.
isis is a client of the Turkish government. thaqt country has partial responsibility for what is happening...most of isis money comes into the region via turkey.
I agree. Besides the dead, most people don't know how many more thousands of Americans were wounded and maimed for that ME cesspool.
I now have doubts if we should have invaded Iraq. However, since we did, we should have stayed as we did in Germany and Japan.
As for ISIS, they could be decimated if the US and other Western nations bombarded them into oblivion (collateral damage be damned - think Dresdan, Hamburg, Hiroshima, etc.) We know where they are and we don't need boots on the ground - death from the skies!
But of course, our so-called CinC won't do that, but recently sends over some 500 ground troops to be cannon fodder in the name of training Iraqi troops. After all, he needs to protect his Nobel Peace Prize, not to mention his Muzzie brethern.
Obama has cleansed his conscience by using the atrocity that occurred in Charleston to condemn the United States for not submitting to his desire for gun control.
ISIS could be crushed with the right president. Tell Turkey that bombing campaigns will be begin if they dont stop helping ISIS and they will be kicked out of nato.
Arm the kurds and other religious minorities that are not muslim.
Major air support every day.
Devastate any oil fields in ISIS control.
I think you might be on to something. But the problem with donations to free the Yazdi slaves is that it would end up funneling money to ISIS, and encourage them to kidnap even more innocents.
However, donations to help Christian, Yazdi, and Kurd villages defend themselves, that would have an impact. The problem here, as you noted, is that one can never be sure just where the money will end up.
We need to change our policy or even codify it in law that our government is never to pass arms to any nation or entity outside of our own military.
With the exception of our allies in WW2. Arming this group or that group always ends up with the wrong people having our weapons and using them against us. It also opens the door to political corruption from within our own government. Think Benghazi.
If ISIS or all of Islam needs to be destroyed we need to do it ourselves. If other nations want to help, fine but they need to bring their own stuff.
Tell Saudi that if they don't control these animals and themselves we are going to turn Meca and any other islamic city into a glow in the dark glass parking lot.
Oh, and that oil we've been buying all these years. Well it's ours now.
I'm convinced the evil that is islam is spawned and financed through Saudi Arabia.
Sorry, but you're forgetting the countless atrocities towards their fellow Muslims of different sects. They all suck and should just be fuel/air bombed into ash. All of them.
Read my post above about if a Beslan happens in this Country. Ex-military snipers will have a field day, and there's nothing the Fedgov or local SWAT teams will be able to do about it. They'll hit and run without leaving forensic evidence. If the above were to happened, I would also expect many Mosques go down in flames. While I don't want to see or approved of the above, I truly think it's coming. Glad I'm at the end stretch and hope I don't have to see such guerrilla warfare on our soil.
Demonic spirits are territorial, ISIS is (I believe) that same brutal evil spirit that empowered Saddam Hussein. I had wondered where it went and how long it would be before it showed up again, I didn’t have to wait long,
“Hitler patterned the Nazi Party after it, the Grand Mufti of Palestine was his mentor...”
True, and I also believe there is much more to be understood here around spiritual warfare and the ‘beast that had the fatal head wound and yet did live’ this will be a much more powerful (and yet subtle) global spiritual power to be received everywhere, with no single nation (excluding Israel after a short time) left alone to stand against it,
And just using this as an example of what it may one day appear like, Hitler was a less than subtle beast that became manifest as Nazi Germany for the intent to destroy the Jews before God restored them, and that ‘man’ Hitler had a fatal head wound, and yet that spirit, that same demonic control which also has much in common with Islam is still very much alive in the world (and no I don’t mean the marginalized supremacist aryan fringe hate groups)
Imagine if Hitlers demonic spirit (that same evil spirit rising up again) had drones with hellfire missiles, modern NSA surveillance technology for its SS and nuclear tipped ballistic missiles and weapons of mass destruction via western powers (USA/Europe/Rome blessing it for 1.2 billion) and then add in the most important ingredient of all for true ultimate global political authority: economic and monetary policy control providing some market stabilizing basket of currencies etc., (and then only buying and selling with numbers - computers)
That beast would then have risen up again and who could make war against it this time? or stand up against it as in World War II? No one, as all of the nations are now a part of it, they wont fight against themselves, (its all peace and security) instead they battle only against their own remnant of citizens who wont comply (and later Israel) and as Revelation says, who can make war with that?
That's what I asked above. We know what our CinC is about, but where are they? I've always wondered why Russia didn't go all out on the Chechens for killing their children in Beslan. Let the Muslims pull that on American soil and not just some singular "lone wolves" and the "blades of grass" WILL start killing/destroying anything Muslim, including the so-called moderates. At my old age, I'll do what I can.
They may well be, but if history teaches us anything, it is that sooner or later the war will come to us (as it did on 9/11). Ignoring these sick bastards isn't going to make them go away. On the other hand, lots of smart bombs and 5.56mm will.
True. But sometimes one is a far lesser evil and planning to do far less damage to this country.
I was surprised though watching PBS Newshour yesterday. They had a lot of hard hitting coverage on the mess in Yemen, ackknolwedging it is a failure of US policy.
And on DU they are increasingly throwing Obummer under the bus, after TPP etc. and realize they were duped. They will also not embrace Hillary, look for Sanders to get more support.
Sending money to barbaric slave trading terrorists would only result in empowering them to do more barbaric slave trading. Sending them money would promote that business and spread suffering.
Hey, I have an idea. Let’s import a few more hundred thousand or so (of these sick monsters) in here. That outta teach us.
