| [Iraq News] An Iraqi Yazidi woman held as a sex slave by Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... forces of Evil says her advocacy for other victims has left her completely exhausted and frustrated that her captors have not faced justice. Nadia Murad and her attorney Amal Clooney appeared at a United Nations ...boodling on the grand scale... event on Thursday to ask that the crimes of Islamic State forces of Evil be investigated and prosecuted, and they criticized the international body for inaction. Murad, who turned 24 on Friday, was among thousands of women and girls kidnapped, tortured and sexually abused by myrmidon fighters in northwest Iraq in 2014. She first spoke before the U.N. Security Council in 2015 and has become an advocate for the Yazidi, speaking to governments and appealing to the international community to act. "It is very hard to come here every time, and nothing tangible takes place," Murad told the Thomson Rooters Foundation after her appearance at the United Nations. "It’s very hard for the victims as well to hear there is no progress." Murad said she was kidnapped from her village in Iraq and taken to the Islamic State stronghold of djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... . She was tortured and repeatedly raped before she escaped three months later. The Yazidi, a religious sect whose beliefs combine elements of ancient Middle Eastern religions, are regarded by Islamic State as devil-worshippers. In her speech at the U.N. event on accountability for crimes committed by Islamic State, the slight, soft-spoken Murad said: "I am physically and emotionally exhausted.... I have put my personal life aside to seek justice, rather than focusing on my own healing." Six of Murad’s family members, including a toddler not yet 3 years old, remain captives of Islamic State, and her sister-in-law escaped after nearly 30 months. Murad said her advocacy has put others in her family in danger. |

| #1 It's not that we don;t care, it's what can we do? It's not like the cops can simply go in, investigate and arrest the perpetrators. |
