Yezidi Leader Tells Congress: ‘Because We Are Not Muslims...We Are Being Burned Alive’

(CNSNews.com) – Chaldean and Yezidi leaders described the genocide of their people at the hands of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) to members of Congress Wednesday at a hearing on assisting victims of ISIS.

“Because we are not Muslims, and because our path is the path of peace… we are being burned alive,” Mirza Ismail, chairman of the Yezidi Human Rights Organization-International, told members of the House Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health, Global Human Rights, and International Organizations.

Ismail went on to describe the desperate plight of the Yezidis, an indigenous ethno-religious group from Kurdistan who are being targeted by ISIS because they are not Muslim.

These are truly refugees, in desperate need of humanitarian rescue and resettlement until the region is stabilized again.

But Obama throws the floodgates open for the one group that are NOT truly refugees....the very same group who has persecuted and attempted to commit genicide on the remaining non-Muslims.

For the Obama administration to deliberately, knowingly turn his back on Christians, Yezhidis, and other non-Muslims, leaving them to the fate of the murdeeous Islamists, is in itself a war crime.
