Who is it? 72 different massive persecutions and now being eradicated

[yankeedoodle]

Who claims that they have been persecuted through the centuries and have suffered 72 different massive persecutions?  And, who are now being eradicated?  And, why don't we know about them?  Of course, they are the Yazidis, and they are being eradicated the jew's henchmen, ISIS.

When, oh when, oh when are we going to see movie after MOVIE after FUCKING MOVIE about the holocaust of the Yazidis?

Here's a link to a discussion on NPR.  Comment about 72 different persecutions is at minute 8:40.

I'll give a listen later. I've tuned out of NPR because of pledge drives and now that it is over I can pop in again to hear what the Jews want me to know. Obviously we aren't going to have any movies on the Yazidis, but I'm wondering why the JewsMedia are even complaining about them being targeted. Many of them are almost white people, so is this some kind of emotional ploy to get whites on board with the war agenda?

Quite likely.  Informative, nevertheless.

While NPR reports on disappearing religions, RT reports on disappearing antiquities.  The jews are systematically - by proxy - destroying all religions and cultures and histories and heritages other then their own.

Ancient Syrian metal artifacts are being peddled for bullets and weaponry to perpetuate destruction.

Since the Yazidi have been around for over 6,000 years and that they have many beliefs and practices in common with other 'major' religions, could it not be argued that all these other religions borrowed from a common source?  And, if so, aren't the Jews  the usual suspects for altering and/or destroying their true history?


The Yazidis practice a religion that draws from numerous traditions.

The religion is a monotheistic, non-Abrahamic faith. Its influences date back thousands of years and include elements of Christianity, Sufi Islam and, notably, Zoroastrianism — an ancient Persian faith. The Yazidi belief system also incorporates parts of ancient Roman and Assyrian religions.

The Yazidi religion is primarily oral, rather than scriptural.

Sheik Adi bin Musafir is a venerated and pivotal figure among Yazidis — and is sometimes characterized as the sect's founder — and lived during the 12th century. His tomb in the northern Iraqi city of Lalish is now a pilgrimage site. Religious practices are diverse in the Yazidi religion and include things like circumcision and baptism. Other practices range from not eating lettuce or pumpkin, among other foods, to restrictions on women cutting their hair, the timing of marriage, and an array of other things. They believe in reincarnation, and fire carries special significance. Also,  "They do not wear Blue...Wimpy"

How old is the Yazidi religion?

#1   by Oeditor » Aug 09, 2014 12:24 pm

The first article i read about it was in the Telegraph and the author said it predated all the Abrahamic religions, being about 6000 years old. I suppose that dates it back to the beginning of the universe for the creationists: I wonder what Ken Ham makes of that?
They are scared of lettuce. They abhor pumpkins. They practice maybe the oldest religion in the world. And now, after at least 6,000 years, they are finally being exterminated, even as I write this.

Yazidi origins:
The origin of their religion pre-dates Islam. Some have estimated that they have existed since 2000 BCE, about the time when the Bible implies that Abraham lived. Another source suggests that their religion dates back to the time of the Umayyad caliphate, 661 to 750 CE. 3 Sheikh Adi ibn Musafir, a 12th century holy man laid down many of the Yazidi ceremonies and is deeply revered. 4 During the 15th and 16th centuries CE, they moved from southern Iraq into the mountains of northern Iraq.
Yazidi beliefs:

There is a massive amount of misinformation on the Internet and in the media concerning the Yazidis. The Yezidi Human Rights Organization reports:
In the past 20 years to present, ... the Internet has become the easiest way to find information regarding whatever a person wish to search for. We have seen that more than 99% of the writers accusing the innocent Yezidi as devil worshipers, this is absolutely pure fiction." 13
The following description is believed to be accurate:

   
Yazidis believe that the name of their religion is derived from the word "Yezdan" or "'zid" which means "God."
Their religion appears to shows elements absorbed from:
   Ancient Persian religions, including Zoroastrianism;
   Judaism;
   Christianity;
   Sunni, Shiite and Sufi traditions within Islam;
   Shamanism;
   Vedism;
   Mithraism -- a close rival to Christianity in the Roman Empire, particularly among the military and civil    service before it was crushed; and perhaps Other ancient Pagan religions from the Middle East and Greece.

They believe that God created the world as a pearl. He later reconstructed it in its current form and size.

The world is in the care of seven Holy Beings, generally referred to as archangels, who are periodically reincarnated in human form.

   
The principal archangel is the Peacock Angel which they call Melek Ta'us. Ta'us' name may have been related to the Greek words "Zeus" and Theos, meaning "God." Yazidi look upon Melek Ta'us as "God's Angel," the leader among the angels, roughly comparable to the archangel Michael within Christianity. He is regarded as God's representative on Earth. He comes down to Earth once a year during springtime, on the first Wednesday of the month of Nisan. They celebrate this as New Year's day.

They believe that God first created Melek Ta'us from his own illumination as the original and highest archangel. He then created the six archangels and ordered them to bring him dust from the earth. God then built the body of Adam -- the first human -- from the dust, and finally breathed life into Adam. This belief closely parallels that of Genesis 2:7.

   
Another name for the Angel is "Shaytan," which unfortunately is the same name as is used for Satan in the Qur'an -- the Muslim holy book. This has caused many Christians and Muslims in Iraq to assume that the Yazidis are worshiping the Satan of the Bible and Qur'an. The Yazidi deny this, saying that they do not believe in a devil.
   
They believe that Adam gave birth to a baby boy from whom the Yazidis are all descended. Other humans share both Adam and Eve as their first parents. Because of this belief, they do not accept converts from outside of their group.
   
They reject the idea of Hell, but believe that the seven archangels live in Heaven

They believe in transmigration of the soul at death, after which it reincarnates into either another human, or in an animal or plant

Yazidi practices:

   
The Yazidi speak primarily Kurdish except in some areas like the villages of Bashika and Bashane where  they speak a dialect of Arabic with some words of Turkish, Kurdish and Syrian origin.

They use the term 'zid' or 'z'd' to refer to themselves.
Their main holy site is in Mosul, Iraq.
They follow two holy books: Kit'ba Cilwe (Book of Revelation) and the Mishefa Reş (Black Book).
They have strong purity taboos: marrying outside of the group, having excessive contact with non-Yazidis, wearing blue clothing, eating lettuce, spitting or pouring hot water on the ground, sharing cups or razors with outsiders, etc are all forbidden.
Boys are frequently circumcised.
Children are baptized at birth.
Normally, Yazidi males have only one wife. However, chiefs are allowed to engage in polygyny.

They are divided into three castes: the murids, sheikhs and pirs.
They pray five times during the day, at dawn, sunrise, noon, afternoon and sunset. During the noon prayer, they face Lalish, a valley about 37 miles (60 km) north-east of Mosul in Iraq where the tomb of their founder is buried. At other times, they orient their face to the sun.
At least once during their lifetime, they are expected to make a six day pilgrimage to Lalish to visit various sacred locations.
Yazidis who live near Lalish are expected to make a yearly pilgrimage to attend the Feast of the Assembly from the 23rd of the month of Elul to the 1st of Tishrei; this occurs in our month of September.
After death, they are immediately buried in conical tombs.
