ISIS: ITS TIME TO KILL THE YAZIDIS NOW. On the peaks of the Sinjar mountains of Iraq, 50,000 members of the Yazidi (one of the longest surviving ancient religions or sects in the world) people are facing a slow death from dehydration and exposure. Below them waits the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), a militant extremist group who will kill any that descend. Though a Kurdish sect and religion, the Yazidi faith has borrowed from multiple traditions. It was founded in the 11th century by a sheik from the major Islamic dynasty, the Umayyad.The Yazidis were targeted by al-Qaeda in Iraq and similar groups following Saddam Hussein’s ousting. Though Sunnis and Shi’ites alike call them Satanists, they don’t attack them. But ISIS, is on “a genocidal rampage,” won’t tolerate them in its self-declared Islamic caliphate.
