Genocide in the name of Islam

Elderly women and children were buried alive in the name of Islam because they were not considered suitable to be sexual slaves

The jihadists of Islam buried 60–80 elderly Yazidi women alive because they had no sexual appeal and were not fit to be sold in the market. Yet these same Islamic jihadists preach deceptive narratives about how, before the arrival of Islam in the era of Jahiliyyah, Arabs used to bury their daughters alive.

In 2014, in the Sinjar region of Iraq, the so‑called Islamic State (ISIS) carried out a horrific genocide against the Yazidi community. This has been recognized as “genocide” by the United Nations and many countries around the world. During this period, thousands of Yazidi men were killed, and women and children were captured, used as sex slaves, or trafficked. They were even put up for sale in markets. Now recall the events that took place 1,400 years ago after the jihad led by Prophet Muhammad — then you will understand that what ISIS did is exactly what Islamic doctrine prescribes. Many people already know about the genocide of the Jews of Banu Qurayza and Khaybar, the labeling of women and children as polytheists and ordering their killing, and the taking of women like Safiyya as sexual slaves. If you don’t know, this website contains the details — you can check it.

In August 2014, Iraq’s then–Human Rights Minister Mohammed Shia’ al‑Sudani told Reuters that ISIS had carried out genocide against at least 500 Yazidis, and that many women and children were buried alive. In the Yazidi village of Kocho, information emerged that around 80 men were killed. In the case of elderly women, since they were not considered suitable for sexual slavery, they were often killed outright and dumped into mass graves.

Many “moderate believers” will claim that ISIS is not part of Islam, that they do not practice “true Islam.” But if you ask them which Islamic principle ISIS violated, they will not be able to answer. If you secretly conduct a survey in the name of an Islamic group, you will find that most of them secretly wish ISIS would continue doing exactly this and establish a caliphate. They can form mobs as “Tawhidi people” to destroy shrines, attack Ahmadiyya centers, or even sacrifice their lives to stop Modi’s visit to Dhaka — yet when it comes to protesting the crimes against humanity committed by extremist groups like ISIS, none of them ever take to the streets, let alone post a single Facebook status.
