Kurdish Women March Through Bielefeld Streets
A Kurdish women of the ethnic minority of Yazidis cries as she marches through the streets of Bielefeld August 9, 2014. Some 10,000 ethnic Kurds of the Yazidis sect, who practice an ancient faith related to Zoroastrianism, protested in the western German city on Saturday against Islamic State (IS) militants, who are surging across northern Iraq near the Kurdistan borders in their drive to eradicate unbelievers such as Christians and Yazidis.

Yazidi women caught and enslaved by ISIS are brutalised and used as "sex slaves." The torture is reportedly so horrible that some women are committing suicide rather than waiting for rescue.

One woman even called a friend embedded with the Peshmerga and begged that her brothel be bombed. Her request was reported by Karam, a Kurdish activist whose friend received the call, according to IJ Review. "There is no life after this. I'm going to kill myself anyway," Karam quotes the Yazidi woman. She reported other women had already committed suicide. She had been raped 30 times and it was not even lunch time. She said she could not visit the toilet. She begged that her camp be bombed.

On hearing this, Karam is reported to just break down and cry because he felt "helpless." Last week, IJ Review narrated a recreated sex slave auction that took place in London, in which there was an interview with a performance artist. The call from the poor woman who begged to be bombed was also mentioned. The unknown woman was kept as a prisoner of ISIS reportedly somewhere in western Iraq, after she was captured by the group during the Sinjar massacre early in August, according to the Daily Mail.

Compassion 4 Kurdistan, the group of Kurdish activists that Karam belongs to, had been staging protests in central London to raise awareness of the plight of women living under the brutal oppression of the Islamic State. The activists also set up a mock slave market in which women wearing niqabs were chained together while masked men announced their auction. A video of the fake slave video (below), which was run to shock citizens of the West into becoming aware of the ISIS rule, has been seen more than 350,000 times on YouTube.

However, it was not just Yazidi women but any non-Islamic woman in ISIS-controlled areas who was exposed to risk. The latest issue of ISIS' magazine, Dabiq, reported that enslaving families of the kuffār, or non-believers, and recruiting their women as "concubines" is part of the Sharia. If anyone denies or scorns it, that would be the same as "mocking the verses of the Qur'an" and thereby "apostatizing from Islam."
