The Daily Telegraph Thurs August 21st. Headlining another's life in British Jihadst's hands. They are again changing the names the rebels are known by. First they were known as ISIS which to the lay person denoted an Islamic state. Zeina Karam reports that even Assad finds ISIS too dangerous as their fighters are approaching Aleppo capturing and slaughtering hundreds of Syrian fighters and pro government militiamen! With this inexorable march onwards my heart goes out to those Yezidi people.
ISIS were attacking the Yezidis a couple of days ago.
I heard today a report from Jenni Murray from the British Women's Hour - a very well balanced piece! The women out their are coerced into joining the fighters as their husbands and male members of their families were lined up and shot! These Yezidi tribes were pre-Christian and their history is so ancient that with the gun-men telling them they have to change their religion this was so sacrosanct, they couldn't do it.
The Yezidis, before Christianity came to these shores, had their belief. How many of us would be able to share our beliefs! There is a referendum this month about the Scottish Assembly and how will that go! Ho the Yezidis would love to be left alone in a mini state of their own like the Scots.
I would be pleased that you would think of those Yezidi women at this time.
