Dozens of Yazidi sex slave survivors, including 9-year-old girls,
were rescued this week by smugglers from their Islamic State captors
following months of brutal rape and torture by their "owners" and other
Jihadi soldiers who purchased them at an IS slave market.
"Their
fighters pray to Allah before and after they systematically rape Yazidi
women and children, including some as young as 9-years-old," said Hadi
Pir, vice president of Yazda, a U.S.-based global Yazidi organization,
to The Christian Post.
While some Christians had the option to pay
jaziya (Islamic tax paid by non-Muslims) to purchase their freedom,
most other minority groups such as the Yazidis, who number about 600,000
in Iraq, were specifically targeted and separated for sex slavery.
Basing
their slavery system on Quranic verses and Hadiths that govern groups
they consider heretics, Islamic State gave the Yazidis only two options:
convert to Islam or die. Many victims chose the later.

"IS soldiers gathered us and separated the virgin girls and children
from the other women. ... They chose the beautiful girls and transported
them to the Qasr Al Mihrab village where they distributed the girls to
IS fighters. … My sister and I were given to a fighter named Muhammad
Salah, who took us to Mosul where he raped and tortured us," Noor
explains.
