I don’t understand why the West doesn’t get more involved to help the Yazidi people, who have been suffering horrific atrocities against them for years. I don’t understand why liberal western women can be so strongly against Christians and Republicans and Israel and have other strong opinions, but seem to have no concern for women and girls victimized under the rules of Islam. Here is an excerpt from the longer full original article at Breitbart which I found here on the warsclerotic blog titled:
Yazidi Activist: Islamic State Cut Open My Friend, Raped Her Baby, Then Raped Her
“The most horrifying story in the interview came from Pirali, who is herself a Yazidi from the Sinjar region. She said she left Iraq in 2010, leaving behind a high school friend who got married and was pregnant with a baby girl when ISIS arrived.
“When ISIS took over our town, when they were trying to run away, because she was heavy, she was pregnant, she couldn’t run a lot,” Pirali said. “So she told her family to leave her behind, ‘save yourself, go.’ She was going to walk slowly until she gets to where they are.”
“Unfortunately, she didn’t make it, The ISIS people got her. What they did to her, they opened up her stomach, like from here to here” — Pirali pantomimed a cut horizontally across her entire stomach — “they opened her up, and they got her baby girl out. They raped the baby, and they also raped her. And she survived.”
“The baby did not make it,” she added. “They thought she was dead. They left her behind. The ISIS fighters, they left her. Her family came back, saw her just like that, in that situation.”
Pirali said this was the atrocity that prompted her to become an activist. In 2015, she circulated a petition asking then-President Barack Obama to help women and girls in ISIS captivity. The petition attracted 100,000 supporters.
“The message I want to send to ISIS people is that we are Yazidis, and we are going to be Yazidis. We are not going to change our religion, no matter what,” Ibrahim said defiantly, with Pirali translating her words.
She wept as she passed along her message to the civilized world: “Save our people that is in ISIS captivity. They’re killing kids in front of our eyes, and they’re bombing them.”
On Tuesday, a Kurdish official told CNN that the bodies of between 1,300 and 1,500 Yazidis have been found in the area around Sinjar, interred in 35 mass graves plus over 100 individual graves. The Kurds believe they will find more mass graves as more territory is recaptured from the Islamic State.”
So why do I so often hear about extreme actions people think should be taken against Trump, or Israel, or corporations, but nothing on this? Maybe the former impact western women directly, and they generally just don’t empathize much with women far away. I guess the West will wait until Islam comes to their doorstep.
