Another 80 Yazidis Slaughtered by Muslim Army Day after Obama Stops Humanitarian Aid

They buried Yazidi men alive, killed children and kidnapped women to be slaves. Where is the world? Where is our humanity — or is concern for Yazidis considered Islamophobic?
Obama should be giving Yezidis emergency asylum instead of Muslim Brotherhood terror buddies.

Islamists from the Islamic State (IS) killed 80 members of Iraq’s Yazidi minority in a northern village on Friday, sources told Fox News.The Kurdish-speaking ethnic and religious group, which numbers in the hundreds of thousands in Iraq, has been persecuted in the north by IS, with at least 500 killed prior to Friday’s news, according to Iraq’s human rights minister.
The latest killings came just a day after President Obama said U.S. air strikes and humanitarian aid drops on Sinjar mountain, where thousands of Yazidi have been stranded in an Islamic State siege had been ended.
“They arrived in vehicles and they started their killing this afternoon,” senior Kurdish official Hoshiyar Zebari was quoted as having told Reuters. “We believe it’s because of their creed: convert or be killed.”
A Yazidi lawmaker and another senior Kurdish official also said the killings had taken place and that the women of the village were kidnapped.
Iraqi and Yazidi leaders say the brutal Islamic State fighters have buried Yazidi men alive, killed children and kidnapped women to be slaves.
“We have striking evidence obtained from Yazidis fleeing Sinjar and some who escaped death, and also crime scene images that show indisputably that the gangs of the Islamic States have executed at least 500 Yazidis after seizing Sinjar,” Sudani told Reuters earlier this week.
The Islamic State, which has declared a caliphate in parts of Iraq and Syria it captured, forced tens of thousands of Yazidis and Christians to flee their homes or face certain death.
Members of the group have also taken hundreds of Yazidi women captive and have been holding them in schools in Mosul.
The Yazidis, followers of an ancient religion derived from Zoroastrianism, are spread over northern Iraq and are part of the country’s Kurdish minority.
