Yezdis of Iraq being killed by the Sunnis

I just happened to read about the Yezdi minority race of Iraq/Syria which is being persecuted and killed by the dominant Sunni militia in Iraq/Syria.

Their religion based on caste based hierarchical system, worship of peacock and place of other figures/idols in their worship, not inviting converts in their fold, belief in incarnation/reincarnation and cleansing of soul is in many ways very similar to Hinduism. They are the pre-Islamic people who have heavy influence from the Persian era.

I am happy that at least now the US has woken up to the threat of extinction/ethnic cleansing being faced by the Yezidis in Iraq/Syria. Peaceful and unarmed Yezidis have been given the ultimatum by the Sunni Militia or Iraq (ISIL) to either convert or to face the bullet. Because of this real threat and actual recent killings, thousands of Yezidi families in Sinjar are traversing a dangerous journey through the mountains to reach the Iraqi Kurdish territory and that too without any arrangement for food and water. One can only imagine entire families taking that treacherous mountainous route including women, children and the elderly just to save their lives from the enemies of humanity who want everyone to conform to their religion and belief or else be killed.

Only hope that the rest of the world raises its voice against the ISIL and helps the minorities there including Yezdis, Christians, etc.

The situation in Iraq is caused by some anti national forces in Middle east.

By not acting tough against the ISIS, is Prez Obama showing his softness to radical Islam?? Will it not cast aspersion on his seriousness in fighting religious terror? People will certainly be forced to ponder on the fact that his softness could be a result of the fact that his father was a Moslem.

The sand is fast slipping out of the hands of the world community. Organisations like ISIS need to be nipped in the bud.

Another alarming sign is the waving of the ISIS flag in J&K by masked protesters in J&K.

The govt. needs to act tough - a no-nonsense approach. Anyone waving any symbol even remotely resembling any ISIS insignia should be SHOT dead on the spot!

The terrorists or their sympathizers DONOT deserve the luxury of the Indian judicial process. They deserve instant justice.

This is shocking but expected. All the neighbours countries joined with ISIS to massacre of Yezidis and all the non-Sunni people.

"One should remember that enslaving the families of the kuffar -- the infidels -- and taking their women as concubines is a firmly established aspect of the Shariah, or Islamic law," the group says in an online magazine published Sunday.

WHY THE WHOLE SECULAR MEDIA IS SILENT ON SUCH MENTALITY

I too got interested in knowing Yazidi people, their culture and religion. There is a beautiful article on their culture;

Have a look at their temple below how similar it looks to our temples;

After digging further on the subject, I came across this video which explains in great detail the Yazidi- India (Tamil) connection;
