So here is the six-million-dollar question: is this genocide going to be ignored so as not to offend Muslims or worse, to prevent those who might call attention to it from being labeled an islamophobe?

AFDI is holding a rally next Sunday in Union Square to protest the persecution and slaughter of non-Muslims. Be there. “500 Yazidis killed, buried in mass grave by IS,” ITV24, August 10, 2014 Some of victims were burried alive, says Iraqi official; some 300 women kidnapped Some 500 Yazidis slaughtered by Islamic State jihadists were found buried in a mass grave, Human Rights Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani told Reuters on Sunday. Some of the victims were buried alive, the official told the press agency, adding some 300 women were taken hostage.

Earlier in the day official said at least 20,000 civilians who had been besieged by jihadists on a mountain in northern Iraq have safely escaped to Syria and been escorted by Kurdish forces back into Iraq.

The breakthrough coincided with US air raids on Islamic State fighters in the Sinjar area of northwestern Iraq on Saturday. Shawkat Barbahari, an official from the autonomous Kurdish region of northern Iraq put the number of people who escaped the siege and crossed back into Iraqi Kurdistan at 30,000. “The Kurdish peshmerga forces have succeeded in making 30,000 Yazidis who fled Mount Sinjar, most of them women and children, cross into Syria and return to Kurdistan,” said Barbahari, who is in charge of the Fishkhabur crossing with Syria.

“Most of them crossed yesterday and today, this operation is ongoing and we really don’t know how many are still up there on the mountain,” he told AFP. Lawmaker Vian Dakhil, who is from the Yazidi minority most of the Mount Sinjar displaced belong to, said 20,000 to 30,000 had managed to flee and were now in Iraqi Kurdistan. “20,000 to 30,000 have managed to flee Mount Sinjar but there are still thousands on the mountain,” she told AFP.

“They have arrived in Kurdistan.” “The passage isn’t 100 percent safe.

There is still a risk,” she added, as the international community ramped up efforts to provide food and water by air drops to those still stranded. Thousands of terrified people, mostly from minorities that have been persecuted by the jihadists, ran to the mountain a week ago when militants overran the Sinjar region. They found themselves trapped on the mountain in the searing summer heat with little to eat or drink. Dakhil and others have said that many children and elderly people have already died and warned on Saturday that many more would perish if decisive action was not taken in the following 48 hours.
