Iraq: Islamic State jihadists take captive hundreds of Yazidi women to use as sex slaves

When back in 2011 Obama unilaterally "ended" the war in Iraq, he declared that “we're leaving behind a sovereign, stable and self-reliant Iraq, with a representative government that was elected by its people.”

The reality, however, is the complete opposite.

Excerpted from Fox News:
Hundreds of women from the Yazidi religious minority have been taken captive by Sunni militants with "vicious plans," an Iraqi official said, further underscoring the dire plight of Iraq's minorities at the hands of the Islamic State group.

Kamil Amin, the spokesman for Iraq's Human Rights Ministry, said hundreds of Yazidi women below the age of 35 are being held in schools in Iraq's second largest city, Mosul. He said the ministry learned of the captives from their families.

"We think that the terrorists by now consider them slaves and they have vicious plans for them," Amin told The Associated Press. "We think that these women are going to be used in demeaning ways by those terrorists to satisfy their animalistic urges in a way that contradicts all the human and Islamic values.”
