ISIS The Real War On Women

Well, there was the Gulf war.

Nearly all the terrorists from Sep 11th were of Saudi origin. Much of the hardline religious extremism and finance comes from there too. Saudi Arabia maintains its regime with the tactical support of the US. Why is that?

The report said the Yazidi girl who was abducted by Islamic State fighters when they attacked her village on Aug. 3 was raped several times by different men before she was sold in a market.

“Women and girls are brought with price tags for the buyers to choose and negotiate the sale,” the report said. “The buyers were said to be mostly youth from the local communities. Apparently ISIL was ‘selling’ these Yazidi women to the youth as a means of inducing them to join their
