ISIS Genocide And Crimes Against The Yazidis And Religious Minorities Must Raise Difficult Questions

     The first priority regarding the Yazidis must be to free all the Yazidi women and children that have been taken as slaves by ISIS Islamists. Religious minorities the world over need to be better protected. After the holocaust, the world declared over and over that genocide, religious persecution and mass murder would no longer be allowed. And yet these promises proved empty.

      Difficult questions need to be asked regarding the genocide against middle east Christians and Yazidis of the middle east. 

       What is it that drew Muslims from around the world to join ISIS? What is the theological basis that gives these Muslim men and women the belief that they have the right to enslave, rape and murder people they consider non believers or infidels? Why did the world not intervene to stop the genocide? Why is so little being done to free the Yazidi women and children still held as slaves?

         Even after ISIS is long defeated, ISIS type groups will still be around and will keep reappearing. Thousands of children are indoctrinated daily into believing in Islamic supremacy, bigotry and hatred towards other religions, and in the right to commit war, violence and terror in order to spread the interpretations of Islam they are being taught.. 

         Religious tolerance does not mean acceptance of the religious intolerance, hatred and bigotry of anyone.
