A young Yazidi woman forced into sex slavery by the Islamic State begged the West to bomb the brothel where she was being held after militants raped her 30 times in just a few hours, it is claimed.
The unidentified woman is understood to have been kept as a prisoner of the jihadists somewhere in western Iraq having been captured by ISIS during the Sinjar massacre in early August.
A group raising awareness of ISIS’ persecution of women in the vast swathes of the Middle East under its control said the woman had contacted Kurdish peshmerga fighters by telephone to plead for the brothel to be bombed to put the women held as sex slaves out of their misery.
She allegedly told the fighters she had been raped so frequently that she could no longer use the toilet, adding that the ordeal has been so harrowing that she plans to commit suicide even if freed.
During an interview with BBC World Service, a man identified as Karam described how a friend embedded with the peshmerga took a phone call from the Yazidi woman.
Describing the woman as crying on the phone, Karam quoted her as saying: ‘If you know where we are please bomb us… There is no life after this. I’m going to kill myself anyway - others have killed themselves this morning.’
‘I’ve been raped 30 times and it’s not even lunchtime. I can’t go to the toilet. Please bomb us,’ he claimed the woman added.
And by Islamic law this woman ( women ) should be stoned, right.
And these amimals who are raping these women claim to be true Muslims. What does the Koran say about such men who claim the title of purist Muslims? I suppose that after raping these women they will be rewarded in paradise with 70 virgins. Something wrong with that picture.
Reminds me of prisoners in the Gulag who wished for WWIII so the Americans would bomb their camps. If they lived and escaped, good. If they were killed, good too.
It has, for some time, seemed to me ISIS is gathering together the sociopaths of the Islamic world; men who longed for the opportunity to rape, murder and torture for the sake of raping, murdering and torturing, and have found an outlet for it under approving leadership.
I have to disagree with this. I don’t believe the death penalty should ever be used. I do think we need to pray for these terrorists though that God would touch their hearts and that they would repent and convert to Catholicism. We should never wish evil on anyone. We should rather desire the ultimate good which is salvation.
