IS Jihadists Kill 80 Yazidis in Northern Iraq

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.

What ISIS is doing may surprise all of us in our ignorance and naiveté but, in reality, this is exactly what the Koran teaches all muzzies to do — to kill all infidels.

Which brings us to the next and valid question — how much can we trust our muslim citizens that they do not turn ISIS at some unexpected but predetermined moment?

Is that why there is such a great effort by government to deny us our 2nd Amendment rights?

This massacre of Yazidi men and children and enslavement of women brings a great sadness. The murderers are doing exactly what is commanded in the koran. The muslim kenyan is on a bike ride in Martha’s Vineyard today.
