“And when the sacred months have passed, then kill the polytheists wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them and sit in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they should repent, establish prayer, and give zakah, let them [go] on their way. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.” (Qur’an 9:5)
“Dozens of Yezidi Villagers Killed As Deadline to Convert to Islam Expires, Rudaw, August 15, 2014 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
DUHOK, Kurdistan Region—Militants of the Islamic State (IS/ISIS) raided the Yezidi village of Kucho, killing 80 men and taking a number of women and children hostage after a deadline to convert to Islam expired on Friday, villagers said.
According to Rudaw sources, the IS gave the residents of Kucho a deadline to convert to Islam or face consequences. The deadline expired today.
Kucho is located 80 kilometers southeast of Shingal where thousands of Yezidis fled and took refuge on a nearby mountain as the town fell to the IS earlier this month.
Local Yezidi sources said that a large force of IS militants arriving on buses attacked the village, rounded up 1,200 people and hauled them into the school village.
The spokesman for the Yezidi Spiritual Community, Karim Suleiman confirmed the the massacre by the IS, saying, “One of the men in the village escaped the IS injured.”
Scores of Yezidi villagers were killed during the initial IS attack on their region earlier this month and hundreds more, mostly women and young girls are still missing.
The women are believed to have been held in Mosul, Iraq’s IS stronghold.
The United Nations, US, EU and human rights organizations have strongly condemned the violent IS attacks on the Yezidi religious minority.

I am very sure that THE SURVIVING Yazidi peoples are just absolutely awe struck and thankful beyond words
– after being massacred and brutalized by the demonically possessed IS/ISIS/ISIL followers of the false god ‘Allah’ and the Satanic false prophet Mohammed, in ways so evil that it is incomprehensible to rational and caring men and women
– that THEN, ‘The United Nations, US, EU and human rights organizations have strongly condemned the violent IS attacks on the Yezidi religious minority.’
Did those ‘illustrious’ ‘big wig’ ‘high mucky mucks’ then get together and sing ‘Kum Ba Ya’???
ps – and the IS/ISIS/ISIL are just ‘trembling in their blood soaked boots’ for being ‘strongly condemned’ – whoopdey doo!?!?!?!?
– – – – –
Please excuse my cynicism but I am – I pray righteously – indignant and quite emotionally perturbed at the ‘oh well, so what’ Apathetic and Complacent attitude of most of the people here in ‘Amerika’ that claim to be followers of “the Lord Jesus Christ” about this article which has been published nearly one (1) hour and there are ONLY TWO (2) comments on an atrocity of horrendous magnitude – and folks JUST DO NOT CARE! ! !
May ‘the Lord God Almighty’ have mercy on the UN, ‘Amerika’, EU & ‘human rights organizations’ when HE Brings HIS Righteous Judgement upon us ! ! !

How many that say that they are followers of “the Lord Jesus Christ” have even prayed unto “the LORD JEHOVAH” in behalf of the Yazidi people – EVEN ONCE ?
How many that say that they are followers of “the Lord Jesus Christ” have even prayed unto “the LORD GOD” in behalf of the Persecuted CHRISTians all around this world – EVEN ONCE ?
14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
16 SO THEN BECAUSE THOU ART LUKEWARM, and neither cold nor hot, I WILL SPUE THEE OUT OF MY MOUTH.
17 BECAUSE THOU SAYEST, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; AND KNOWEST NOT THAT THOU ART WRETCHED, AND MISERABLE, AND POOR, AND BLIND, AND NAKED:
(Rev 3:14-17 – KJV) – CAPITALization mine for emphasis – Bro. Nick
For those of us that are real CHRISTians and are truly interested in what “the Lord Jesus Christ” said – PLEASE READ, AND STUDY, AND PRAY, AND CHANGE OUR Apathetic, Complacent, and increasingly Apostate ways!
Rev 3:14-22
I personally very strongly recommend the KJV – for the words are strongest, clearest, and purest – and they have not been deleted or changed by some modern ‘translator(s)’.

I’m sure that I am joined by many others, but I pray for persecuted Christians daily and have prayed for the Yazidi people ever since I heard about them. Just because these things are not shouted from the rooftops, doesn’t mean that individual Christians do not remember them in prayer. Jesus told us to pray ‘in secret’, not to broadcast it from the internet. I only mention it now for you to understand that these things do happen. God bless.
Bro. Nick says
@ sencit – Thankfully, I do know that there are other CHRISTians that have/do/will pray for our Persecuted Brothers and Sisters, the Yazidi people and others – and I am very thankful.
Yes – I know and understand that there are a faithful remnant that pray Biblically – but it is only a remnant.
Your comment about ‘not shouted from the rooftops’ is very valid.
I seldom read in the articles on Christian websites that I read/respond to of anyone that offers a prayer – which is the reason I made my observation.
My personal experience over a period of several years is that there are very few that call themselves ‘Christians’ that even know – or care about the needs of anyone beside ‘us four and no more’. I was a member of an ‘Independent, Fundamental Baptist Church’ for nearly 10 years and ‘prayer meeting’ was nearly exclusively for family members, and friends of the ‘Aunt Suzie May has the gout’ and ‘Uncle Billy Bob was in a car wreck’ variety and vast majority. Not that there is anything wrong with praying for family or friends – but that was the major emphasis!
– very very seldom was there prayer for our Persecuted Brethren, and even less for CHRISTians from another ‘denomination’ or another country – OR the lost.
I now go to a small Church of God with a 70 year old Pastor, where there is much more real prayer for ALL CHRISTians – regardless of ‘denomination’ or country, our Persecuted Brethren – AND for the lost all over the world!
I pray that “the LORD GOD” will bless and use you for His Glory.
(1 Thess 5:23 | Eph 6:18 | James 5:16 | Ps 115:1 – KJV)
I’ll see you in the morning – only because of the Wondrous Mercy and Grace of our Lord “Jesus the Christ” ! ! !

Bro. Nick
your comment about “the Satanic false prophet” reminded me there’s a book out there called “Satn’s Trinity” which compares Hitler, Stalin & Muhammad. I read the thing, pretty damn good

When we have first hand accounts of this terrible time I hope The Church will declare these incredibly brave people martyrs and designate a day for remembrance of them. God help the women and children.
Jay Boo says
Not to worry, Obama has been given permission through the Islamic chain of command to target military equipment.
As Hillary would say “Don’t worry we are going to get those folks who made those jeeps and trucks used by the Islamic State”
SpiritOf1683 says
Another obvious quote from Churchill which the world chooses to ignore, but is so patently true:
“The religion of Islam above all others was founded upon the sword … Moreover it provides incentives to slaughter, and in three continents has produced fighting breeds of men – filled with a wild and merciless fanaticism.” – Winston Churchill
It does as it says on the tin.
Jay Boo says
Our ‘leader’ in the US, Obama will wait until (after) each slaughter to drone a few jeeps to give the impression that he is actually doing something about this.
Should we wonder why the Islamic State (IS/ISIS) is still no getting the message to back off?
paddy says
Arm the Yazidis as well. Granted the odds are against them but at least they have a fighting chance.
Angemon says
Said “human rights organizations” are more worried in preventing Israel from defending itself than with what’s happening in Iraq ans Syria. Those hypocrites can eat s*** and die, for all I care.
Dr Nath Duru-Obisi says
It is not enough for notable world opinion leaders to speak out in condemnation of the practise of using intimidation to gain converts by Islam. More action is long due and immediately required to contain and more importantly impede the growth of wanton destruction of human lives and properties in the name of religion.
Islam tendencies need to be speedily repudiated. The practise to coheres to compel followership by force is anti human right proclamation announced at the founding of the United Nation Organization to which most countries are signatories .
Time has come for unequivocal position to be taken to regard the threat of Islam to human civilization and similar to the Hitler era that brought the second world war. UNO was formed to promote world peace in which religious organization would conduct their beliefs in consonant to the UNO principles. Religious organizations that do not conform to granting freedom to humanity cannot be allowed to exist. Time has come for the UNO to formally give red card to Islam for the various forms of killings and destructions of properties by their members call them extreme or whatever guises.
If Islam as a religious body cannot contain and discipline their members such religious organization should be abolished worldwide and be formally proclaimed as condition for membership of any given country to UNO. Time has come for UNO to re-evaluate its services to the promotion of peace and to eliminate elements of distraction which Islamic tendencies constitute to the achievement of the goal.
The essence of religious organization is to promote peace between man and God and among humanity. Compelling citizens of the world to become members by force should be a point for red card and a basis to abrogation. Time has come Islam to be formally brought to UNO to demand that the tendencies in Islam has to be formally repudiated. The only religious organization that condones violence in practise but cunningly present itself as peace lover. The only religion that approves evil conducts in a number ramifications as opposed to doing the will of the peace loving creator cast doubts as to which God it is subscribe to.
The only religion that its vanguards manifest hate and dish out the extinguishing of human lives with impunity. The only religious organization that aspire to and in fact set up parallel governments to practice their conviction in a legitimate country established under UNO international laws. The only religious organization that with impunity wage war to gain converts in the face of helpless UNO and unconcerned Super power.
Time has come to call Islam to attention of its essences and the nearness of its abrogation. The time is now before irreparable damages is done to the psychic of humanity

Dr Nath Duru-Obisi –
SIR – I do not say this offensively, but it matters not what ANY organization of man wants or tries to do – the evil and wicked heart of mankind CAN NOT successfully be regulated or actually changed. “The word of the LORD” says it truthfully and bluntly:
9 ¶ The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
10 I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.
(Jer 17:9 -KJV)
The United Nations is a New World Order global governance organization that is absolutely hostile to ISRAEL, the JEWISH people and Real CHRISTianity – AND – supportive of all or nearly all of the countries that officially endorse Mohammadenism.
Your thoughts are very noble – but absolutely unworkable and unable to be enforced in this increasingly wicked, evil and barbaric world
– IF anyone would actually try to enforce them equitably and without prejudice – which no one will.
Bro. Nick says
Sir – the book of Jeremiah was written over 2,500 years ago, and the hearts of mankind certainly have not changed since then – if anything we are more depraved now!
