The abuse of Yazidis by the Islamic State (ISIS) was widely published. Many mistakingly think that ISIS is different from other jihad groups. The only differences with ISIS were its claim to be the new caliphate, and its sudden rise in the modern era. The rapidity of its expansion by the sword was reminiscent of the early days of Islam. ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was a dedicated Muslim theologian who preached jihad by the sword in full alignment with Quranic and Hadith texts.
“M” has been identified as Fawzia Sido. She was “kidnapped from her home in Iraq when she was 11, then sold and trafficked to Gaza where she ‘remained stuck there for years.'” Her plight demonstrates that her Palestinian ISIS captor saw Gaza as a place where there would be a market for an ISIS captive, rather than indignation at the very idea. The October 7 massacre and the celebrations that followed that massacre in Gaza show up the similarities between jihad groups that the West assumes are completely disparate.
“Free at last: Yazidi woman held in Gaza finally leaves enclave,” by Ohad Merlin, Jerusalem Post, October 1, 2024:
M., kidnapped from her home in Sinjar as a ten year old girl, was lured into Gaza and remained stuck there for years.
On September 3, The Jerusalem Post published the story of M., a Yazidi woman who was kidnapped from her home in Sinjar, Iraq, as an 11-year-old girl in 2014, forced to marry a Palestinian ISIS fighter, and then lured into Gaza, where she was subject to torture from her husband’s family, stranded and far from her family for years.
The Post can now confirm that following rigorous bureaucratic and diplomatic procedures and several failed attempts, M. has finally managed to leave the Gaza Strip. She is being treated at an American facility in the region and is making her way back to her family.
“The Jewish Schindler”
Steve Maman, the Canadian Jewish businessman popularly nicknamed “The Jewish Schindler” for his actions to rescue and aid thousands of Yazidis from ISIS captivity, pushed efforts behind the scenes. He described his feelings in a conversation with the Post.“I’m feeling tired; this has been the most difficult rescue that I’ve ever taken part in. Many interactions were critical and hurtful, but the success of the mission is what heals you from these attacks. This, for me, is a ray of light. M. has a chance to rebuild her life. She was 11 years old when they took her, and no child chooses at that age to become a hostage at the hands of ISIS-Hamas.…

I hope she & her family can get settled in Israel, rather than be sent back to Iraq, which is no safer for Yazidis than it was during ISIS. This is a genuine refugee case, and one where Israel won’t be hurt by Yazidis, who could assimilate in Israel, despite their different faith

As for those brutal, cruel and vile ISIS jihadist /Muslims kidnapping girls and women and using them as sex slaves. This actually started with the founder and prophet of Islam, Muhammad, who all Muslims look to as an example of how to behave. It’s revealed in the book JESUS AND THE JIHADIS: CONFRONTING THE RAGE OF ISIS by the Christian authors Graig A. Evans and Jeremiah J. Johnson For on page 124 it informs the reader “Muhammad endorsed enslavement of all types…he endorsed sex-slavers as a gift form Allah , and enjoyed offering sex-slaves as gifts…” Further page 125 informs the reader that “Islam has enslaved more people than any other culture.”

There are some people who might , understandably, wonder and then ask “Just how can those jihadists of ISIS ,being so very religious , also at the time also be so very callous and cruel as to kidnap girls and young woman and then to also make them their slaves to uses the for anything they want or desire ?”
The answer to that question is found in the Bible. For the Bible teaches that there are some people who are extremely heartless, cold, callous and dangerous because they have had “their conscience seared with a hot iron.” First Timothy 4:2. [ K.J.V.]
In this case of the members of ISIS this “hot iron” is Islam.

So sadly true.
Lord Jesus, please have mercy on this poor young woman. She may be physically free now but… how do you begin to recover from such an ordeal? It’s beyond my capacity to even imagine.

And Islam is recognized as a legitimate religion around the world. It appears to be nothing less than a violent, sex oriented CULT.
