The spokesman for Iraq's human rights ministry says hundreds of women from the Yazidi religious minority have been taken captive by militants from the Islamic State group.

Kamil Amin says the women are below the age of 35 and some are being held in schools in Iraq's second largest city, Mosul. He said the ministry learned of the captives from their families.

What happened to the over 35 women? Not worth the sex slave market or forces marriages?

They rape the older women and then cut their heads off.

Just guessing but I suspect because they can bear children.

Yes, and we need Obama to study the situation and understand how we can better negotiate with these terrorists, perhaps through talks and a beer.

Well, the world has long forgotten the poor young school girls who were taken (not returned, despite the demanding hashtag), so they won’t do a thing about these females either.

Wow - we’re getting a very good picture of what the world looks like when the super power for good no longer stands guard, and it happened rather quickly.

“Hey Michelle, time for another hashtag sign.”

She thinks that her “husband’s” HashFag is quite enough.

If there is a market for these women, we should find out who the buyers are and put them on the ISIS list to be blown away with the sellers.

Christian children. They have a tendency to do vile things to sisters of the faith:

No kidding, Putin has jets buzzing our shorelines, Israel under attack, Iraq in crisis after hasty pullout, Ukraine in the balance with passenger jets shot down, Central America sending hundreds to our borders, and more

How the hell can Obama be so stupid that he would allow ISIS to take control of that dam?

Whoever controls that dam controls the entire southern portion of Iraq.

To give a comparison to events that occurred in the past, during the Japanese invasion of China in 1938, the Chinese destroyed dikes along the Yellow River in an effort to slow the Japanese. 1 million Chinese peasants died as a result. Some died fighting but the majority was due to flooding.

Jesus weep.

That first little one was about the age of my two year old niece.

I won't sleep well tonight.

I doubt that ISIS will try to sell the woman, but anything’s possible. More likely they are sex slaves/dead women walking. Their lives are at an end.
