The Plight of the Yazidis

Begging for Help - World is more concerned with Hamas Terror "victims"
Begging for Help – No One Really Listens 

The Yazidis, an old and ancient religious community in Iraq sent a woman to beg for their lives in front of the national assembly of the Iraqi people. They are currently being butchered by the forces of Sonni Islam, ISIS, who is making its way through the Iraqi state.

The world is mostly indifferent, apart from a couple hundred people who marched in support of Christians (not Yazidis) in Brussels, as what the police calls a some “young” people shouted and cursed them as they passed (saying that all Christians should be killed).

The Yazidis are not as well prepared as the Kurds who are getting ready to face ISIS, they have been misled and misread the upcoming storm, now they are left for themselves – they are stranded in an area that would not support an life, so it is either they are killed by ISIS or die of hunger and dehydration.

If you need to do one thing today is to dedicated 2 and a half minutes to see this woman, desperately begging for the lives of basically everyone she knows, this is not the sexy Gaza Palestinians who during 30 days of active fighting had list an estimated 800 non combatants to what they called a “Genocide” attempt by Israel, the Yazdis do not get 3 Billion dollar annual support from Qatar, nor do they have the UN call an urgent meeting on their behalf, in the last week estimated are that up to 3,000 of them have been murdered – and more will follow if this is not stopped.

Christians Flee Mosul

With no help from the West - Christians need to run for their lives
With no help from the West – Christians need to run for their lives

What this life might seem for those Arab Christians in Iraq these days must be a gloomy, realistic and desperate thought. While they know of their brothers and sisters in the West, of their military power and financial strength they do not feel even the slightest touch of aid to try and solve their desperate situation.

As ISIS rolls in, Christians are faced with a choice that they did not confront for about 1,400 years. Convert, pay or Die. The ISIS fighters are firm believers in the Islamic old ways, and they stay true to that, non Muslims are offered – just as they did hundreds of years ago, the option between paying the Jizya, converting to Islam or death by the sword.

In many terms these Christians would have been much better defended 800 years ago, when sympathy and help would arrive from Christian nations in Europe, but now their tears produce no more than 5 minute on French TV news.

The latest information is that France has offered some of the Christians refuge, maybe in hope to pathetically balance the figures of religious immigration to the country, however French Arabs – or simply Arabs in France, who are fanatics to human rights when it comes to anything that has to do with Israeli issues, do not take to the streets for their fellow Christian Arabs, or even for the Shiite community in Iraq which is fighting for its life. What a strange world this is, that an Atheist blog laments the end of Christian presence in Iraq you realize how hypocrisy and bigotry rule the Western Governments.
