The Role Of Oppression Of Women In The Yazidi Religion
The article’s foundation is set up on the oppression faced by the people of the Yazidi faith. According to CNN, the Yazidi religion is considered a pre-Islamic sect who is now being referred to as devil worshippers by many Muslims. The ISIS has captured and holds about 3,500 of these people as slaves. US Military officials and a UK based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights have confirmed that the captives are being moved to Raqqa. These people have undergone persecution since 2014 without any means of communication to the outside world.
Moreover, ISIS has killed hundreds of thousands of innocent people from this race. Nevertheless, they keep women and children as sexual slaves. These women are subjected to sexual harassment. The militant group
gives a justification that the Quran permits Non-Muslim women to be raped. Though this statement has been rejected by Islamic scholars, the deed is still being continued. This is just one of the many ways the ISIS is oppressing the Yazidis.
The United Nations has accused ISIS of committing genocide against the Yazidis. They are bringing slavery back to the modern era. The report states that ISIS hates this religion the most. The reason is assumed to be that the other religions are somehow connected with the Quran and some of its history. But the Yazidi are almost against the Islamic history. They currently reside in a place called Sinjar, somewhere around the Iraq’s Kurdish region. Although the US treasury has estimated that in 2014, ISIS has made about $20 Million as ransom in exchange for young Yazidi women in Iraq.
