@Glünggi "BAGHDAD, Iraq – A Yezidi MP in the Iraqi parliament broke down in tears as she pleaded for immediate help for thousands from her community stuck for days on an arid mountain, where more than 60 children and the elderly have died of starvation and thirst.
“We are being slaughtered under the banner of ‘there is no God but Allah,’” Vian Dakhil told MPs, referring the families who fled to the outskirts of Shingal, which fell to Islamic State (IS/ISIS) militants on Saturday.
In tears, Dakhil said that an entire religion is being exterminated by the Islamic zealots, who remain holed up in Shingal under heavy fire from Peshmerga forces.
“There is now a campaign of genocide being waged on the Yazidis,” Dakhil said.
“Brothers, leave all political disputes aside, we want humanitarian solidarity! Speak here in the name of humanity: save us! save us!” Dakhil appealed.
She added that, “Thirty-thousand families are besieged in the Shingal mountains without water and food. They are dying. Seventy babies have died,” she said.
“Our women are taken as slaves and sold in the slave market,” Dakhil said, referring to the IS practice of taking women as war booty.

http://rudaw.net/english/middleeast/iraq/060820143Mich interessieren alte Religionen seit jeher. Darum habe schon viel gelesen über Zardoscht/Parsen, Jeziden, etc., und finde es so wertvoll, dass es Druiden, Assyirische Christen, die ganze Vielfalt gibt.
Spreche ich nun fälschlicherweise in Gegenwart? Werden grad sämtliche Quellen, Ursprünge und Wohnorte der Menschen zerstört? Es ist unvorstellbar und wie ein schlechter Traum, was grad abgeht!!?
