Islamic State militants today 'massacred' more than 300 Yazidi men - just one day after allegedly killing 82 others who refused to convert to Islam.
The insurgents stormed into the small village of Kocho in northern Iraq, where they spent five days trying to persuade villagers to take up their religion, local officials said.
When they refused, 82 male members of the ancient sect were reportedly rounded up and shot dead yesterday, while more than 100 women and girls were kidnapped.
And today, a further 312 Yazidis were allegedly murdered and their families abducted.

Obama said the humanitarian crisis is over. The media will ignore or bury these stories to hide his failure.
Perhaps they need to send some UN people there so the UN can learn what a war crime really is.
And with all that, Obama is on their side...
Can’t be true, Obama has said repeatedly its Mission Accomplished and all is well/sarc
Meanwhile AC-130 gunships sit idle.
Well you'll have to excuse him, he didn't realize that his comrades hadn't quite finished off the Yazidis.
On more important news mac daddy is enjoying his tax payer paid vacation. Deaths, rapes and beheadings are of no concern to our POTUS with the yellow streak running up the middle of his back.
Yep, and he said it from Martha's Vineyard yesterday while vacationing.
Of course he's staying on top of everything up there, or at least the golf cart.
Yep, they have made him proud.
When BO told us that everything had been solved for the Yazidis in 24 hours, all that was missing was the “Mission Accomplished” banner. He was lying, as usual.
Ramirez is brilliant.
Is no one taking up arms against ISIS, or is it an Iraqi custom to surrender and be slaughtered?
From the article:
“Kurdish Peshmerga fighters have been at the forefront of efforts to halt the IS advance and their efforts have been praised for helping thousands of Yazidis flee from Mount Sinjar, where they had been trapped by the jihadists.
But they have complained about being outgunned by IS, leading to the offers of support from western governments.”
Our “Humanitarian” aid should have been guns and ammo. At least they could die fighting.
can’t be,...bammy said the rescue was a success and they were out of danger now.
Al-Qaeda is on the run, right Barry? Sure—running into and as ISIS demons from hell. Obama should be leading and gathering NATO concensus then go in and obliterate these murderous jihadi bastards. He’s no leader but just a teleprompter reader.
This is really heartbreaking, though very Islamic. Other Islamic invasions have done exactly same things to many non-muslims in particular over the centuries. One avenue possibly open to the Yazidis is to try and cross the border into Iran. There are Yazidis in Iranian Kurdistan across the border from Iraqi Kurdistan.
