Irak’s Amnestiewet: Dit is de Definitie van Degeneratie
Is Irak werkelijk zo zwak? Het Irak dat 8 jaar lang oorlog voerde met Iran? Het Iraakse leger, waarin duizenden Jezidi’s hebben gediend, de grenzen hebben verdedigd en hun leven hebben verloren? Wat deden de militaire krachten in de regio toen ISIS-leden door het land reisden in hun Toyota’s, terwijl ze laf achter hun maskers verborgen en hun duivelse zwarte vlag zwaaiden?

Iraq’s Amnesty Law: This is the Definition of Degeneration
The Iraqi government, police, and military forces, and all citizens of Iraq were not able to prevent and protect the minorities of Iraq. They were also, for unclear reasons, unable to bring some belated justice by prosecuting known ISIS terrorists. Is Iraq really that weak? The Iraq that fought a war with Iran for 8 years? The Iraqi army, in which thousands of Ezidis have served, defended the borders, and lost their lives? What were the military forces in the region doing when ISIS members were traveling through the country in their Toyota cars while cowardly hiding behind their masks and waving their devilish black flag?

Vandalism i Yolveren (Çinera) Landsby: Et typisk eksempel på hadet rettet mod Eziderne
Bemærkelsesværdigt er det, at der for kun fem år siden blev rapporteret, at Ezidi gravsteder blev ødelagt og vandalisert. Ifølge rapporter var gravene specifikt målrettet, fordi de tilhørte Ezidi-piger. Vandalisatorerne har ikke kun ødelagt gravene, men også kastet de hvilende knogler ud, hvilket viser total respektløshed overfor de afdøde og deres familier. Selvom Batman-deputyens repræsentant havde gjort Forsamlingen opmærksom på situationen, er angrebene fortsat, og der er ikke taget nogen juridiske skridt.
