It's amazing how modern-day radical Muslims want to wipe out this small minority, but it looks like they have wanted to wipe out this minority for a long, long time.

To hear President Obama tell it, one might think that recent bombing raids by the US against jihadist positions between Mosul and Erbil in northern Iraq have already removed the threat of extermination posed against the Yazidis, a religious minority driven out of its ancestral home by the Islamic State of self-styled Caliph Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

However, several Yazidi spokesmen reached over the past few days insist that tens of thousands of people are still facing extermination — and on Friday, 80 Yazidis were massacred by IS fighters.

“Our people are dying of hunger, thirst and disease,” says Magdi al-Yazidi. “Those who have not left their homes are prisoners in their besieged villages around el-Qush and Shaikhan. They are simply coming to realize and old dream of fanatical Islamic rulers: wiping our community off the face of the earth.”

Sally---thanks for this post and the citation----I hope lots of people read it ----the answer to
the question is -------SIMPLE IN A MACABRE sense and explains why just in the past century
at least 10 million (actually more like 20 million) people have been outright murdered for the
ISLAMIC CAUSE----and why hundreds of millions have died in the short 1400 year history of
islam. There is a slight oversimplification -----in the article-----but with some DEEP
thought---it also explains the current conflict between arabs and jews in the Middle east----
IT IS ALL VERY SIMPLE-----in the WORLD VIEW of islam-------ISLAM MUST WIN------over the dead
bodies of any people not willing to accede to its "SUPREMACY" (barf....)

so many people just do not know-------or are unwilling to know....
