Jewish Businessman Rescuing Yazidi and Christian Women from ISIS

Even as Megyn Kelly wrestles with Donald Trump about his supposed “war on women,” Canadian Jewish businessman Steve Maman is helping save lives in the real war on women being waged in the Middle East by ISIS.

Taking a personal example from Oskar Schindler, who saved thousands of Jews during the Holocaust, Maman told the Catholic publication The Tablet that he has overseen the rescue of more than 120 Christian and Yazidi girls kidnapped by ISIS in northern Iraq.

Maman, 42, an entrepreneur, founded the Liberation of Christian and Yazidi Children of Iraq (CYCI) after the jihadists overran the cities of Mosul and Sinjar a year ago, turning more than 100,000 civilians, including virtually all the region’s Orthodox and Catholic population, into refugees.

According to the report, in August of 2014, the jihadists took up to 7,000 Yazidi women and girls, some as young as 13, into slavery. An unknown number of Christian women and girls were also kidnapped. CYCI estimates that around 2,700 are still being held by ISIS.

It is a good story but is there evidence to back up his claims?

Mark Levin had him check out before he brought him on the radio. It is legitimate.

Grateful for his efforts. May they be successful - and not needed for much longer, I pray.
