I’m beginning to think Christopher Hitchens was being kind when he described Islam as a “filthy religion”. In northern Iraq the small Kurdish sect, the Yazidis, once stoned a girl for having a Muslim boyfriend. And now some filthy Islamists have committed mass murder among the Yazidis.
The Islamic State in Iraq, an al-Qaida front group, distributed leaflets a week ago warning residents near the scene of Tuesday’s bombings that an attack was imminent because Yazidis are “anti-Islamic.”
Anti-Islamic. That’s all the reason these barbarians need to slaughter people while blowing themselves up. Filthy hardly begins to cover it. The only thing that seems to make the Yazidis any less filthy is that, so far, Yazidis haven’t declared war on civilization.
Michael Yon has a heartbreaking story to tell about what the Yazidis are likely feeling right now.
