IS blamed for mass Yazidi grave found near Sinjar, Iraq

A booby-trapped mass grave containing the bodies of at least 110 people from the minority Yazidi sect has been found in northern Iraq, officials say.
The grave was found close to the town of Sinjar after it was recaptured from the so-called Islamic State (IS) group earlier in November.

IS captured Sinjar in August 2014, with reports of massacres and enslavement and rape of Yazidi women and girls.
This is said to be the sixth mass grave found in or near the town.

The grave is located some 10km (six miles) west of Sinjar, in Nineveh province, senior official Mahma Khalil told AFP news agency.
It was surrounded by bombs and has not yet been excavated. The estimate of the number of bodies inside comes from witnesses to the victims' executions.

This shit really pisses me off.. almost as much as the people who say "Filthy Muslims: they've been killing each other in the desert for centuries". Most Kurds are NOT muslims, they identify that way so they aren't killed in the constant ethnic cleansing that occurs in Iraq, Syria, Turkey, and wherever they co-exist with the religion of peace. Yazidism is actually a peaceful faith built on the concept of earthly renewal, not subjugation - fuck Satan is the hero of the bible for them (I agree).. Fucking fucks..

Peaceful religions must either adapt to violent religion or lose out. Some manage to, consider Buddhism in Burma? The religion of peace is best stopped by a 'uneasy coalition' of all not under its spell...from secular to woo-brains fallen out. :read:

Informed consent is a bit more complicated than your average person conceives.
