Another northeast Iraq town is under siege by Islamic State (formerly called ISIS) and like the Yazidis, the Shi'a Muslims there face massacre if something is not done very soon.
Terrorists have surrounded the small Shia Turkmen community of Amerli about 200 kilometers from Baghdad (about 110 miles as the bullets fly), and the United Nations is worried that what happened by the IS's siege of Mount Sinjar will happen here. Fortunately, U.S. airstrikes drove the terrorists away but even Fox News Network is still calling these scumbags "militants."
Shia's and Sunnis have never gotten along except when it came to a mutual agreement to destroy Israel and kill Jews. The difference between the two rival sects began when Mohammed, who died in 632. It led to a dispute over who was to be his successor as a caliph of the Islamic community. This led to the Battle of Siffin and later intensified after the Battle of Karbala where Hussein (sound familiar?) ibn Ali and his household were killed by Umayyad Caliph Yazid, the ruling caliph. There was a call for revenge which divided the Islamic community and the blood still flows today, which leads you to wonder: if Muslims cannot get along with other Muslims, who can they get along with?
Anyway, the victims in the latest situation belong to the Turkmen ethnic group, which comprises about 4 percent of Iraq's population. But as Shi'a, they need a good beheading by IS for believing in Allah differently. Where's the tolerance and love?
So after Mosul was attacked all the Shi'a Turkmen villages surrounding Amerli were captured by IS and they killed the folks and displayed their bodies outside the village. As it currently stands, the town has been trying to fend off these terrorist butchers for over 2 months and, like the Yazidis, are out of water and electricity.
But Obama is on vacation with his putts and has not shown any plans to intervene to save these desperate Shi'as. Maybe he's a racist.
Ayotollah Ali al-Sistani, Iraq's most powerful Shi'ite "cleric" called for aid to free the village and "save its people from the dangers of terrorists." Notice how when it's you who is in danger of being separated from your head, you don't think of them as militants; you think of them as terrorists.
As it stands now, about 20,000 people in Amerli are staving off death--the virgins can wait, as far as they're concerned.
The world is in turmoil and we are not taking it seriously enough to put down the putter.
