“IS sold her eight times during the 10 months she was held hostage, and raped her hundreds of times,” he said. “This is one of the cases I always have in my mind.” The fire burned 80 percent of her body, and Kizilhan said the girl lost her nose and ears.You have to be very desperate to have the wherewithal, at that age, to figure out how to make it stop, and go thru with it.

"Eight-Year-Old Yazidi Girl Sets Herself on Fire to Prevent Islamic State Rape"
Breitbart: German doctor Jan Ilhan Kizilhan, treating Yazidi victims of the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL/IS), tells the Agence France-Presse he has treated an 8-year-old girl who set herself on fire to stop jihadists from raping her.

These are the type of people that Obama and Hillary and Rubio want to import to a town near you. Just the way Merkel is doing in Germany. How is that working out for them.

The push back is already happening in Germany. If these animals are imported to our towns, I expect the same in America, except with a much more forceful and terminal effect. It has been discussed.
Obama says --- "Fore!"
Does the pathetic Hillary humping media report on any of these horrors happening to these women? ABC? NBC? CBS? ... Hello?
Oh no. it's all poor Hillary/pro-Hillary/ all the time.
The Second Amendment should have been the first.
Sad to say, it's the only way to get the world's attention.

This was my first post (other than commentary) on Reddit. I thought they had it, but when I looked, not a peep.
Somehow, the Lefty media only responds if it's white people.
Brown on brown (IS vs Yazidi) nada, black on black (Rwanda) who cares?, yellow on yellow (Rape of Nanking) never heard of it.
You'd think the people who claim how much they care were racist or something.
Well said ed! Would only add that a highly intricate Rule of Silence applies to wrongful conduct between different non-white groups depending on variables such as where the particular group falls on the highly calibrated progressive victim scale (currently), whether the aggressor/victim is male or female or gay, rich/poor and if rich, whether the wealth was gained by redistributive transfer or by capitalism, whether the wrongful conduct can be exploited for political partisan purposes. Etc.
The eternal MSM question: Does this battered and traumatized child make Obama's ass look fat?
Look! Over there! David Duke!
We've captured an ISIS fighter in Iraq in a magical "no boots on the ground" Delta Force raid. We're going to ask him a few polite questions then give him to the Iraqis.
Verify his identity then hang him.
I would say shoot him but a rope is recyclable and has less of a carbon footprint.
Waste of a perfectly good bullet.
Just as a thought experiment, I wonder if someone on the left can think of an atrocity more outrageous than water boarding. This doesn't pass muster. It's pretty horrible but it doesn't seem to have generated anywhere near the outrage that water boarding did.
I pray for this girl and all non Muslims. Not much empathy for this child. I understand the anger. I too am angry. But, what about just a fucking word about the girl. Just a fucking word. St. Louis Jim had kind words. Kudos.
The only thing leftists could say something about this is blame Bush. The last refuge of scoundrels.
But, what about just a fucking word about the girl. Just a fucking word. St. Louis Jim had kind words. Kudos.
Yes. I've been internally responding to this all day. Although I began an attempt at noon to form a comment that reflected my thoughts and heart, I had difficulty finding the words, and that window remained open all day, until I refreshed it to find Jim of SL's words, which allowed me to sigh and say "Yes" and realize through another what I wanted and needed to say, as I too feel sorry for this little girl. I also feel angered that the torture she endured is not being recognized and exposed for what it is. I feel awed by and thankful for the strength of spirit within her, and grateful people like Dr Kizilhan exist, who recognize that survivors of this form of abuse "have been through hell" and are willing to have this be "one of the cases I always have in my mind".
You have to be very desperate to have the wherewithal, at that age, to figure out how to make it stop, and go thru with it.
This part is almost as hard to imagine as the onslaught of torture (the action or practice of inflicting severe pain on someone as a punishment or to force them to do or say something, or for the pleasure of the person inflicting the pain.),along with the pain and ongoing degradation and abandonment she experienced. In a world of adults who measure their worth by their righteousness and willingness who pray to their all powerful god on their hands and knees five time a day, the only power she had available to her to put an end to the heinous abuse and powerlessness she was experiencing was in a gasoline can and a match. Which she used, not to kill herself or end her life, but to render herself unattractive, as if being an innocent and undeveloped eight year old female was the problem.
Research has shown that resiliency as a response to childhood trauma requires the presence of one compassionate adult, someone who will validate what's been experienced as real and extend kindness, understanding, and acceptance, while imparting value and worth. It's my hope the care received from people like Dr Kizilhan will kindle the spark that's kept her alive this far, and begin to help body, mind and spirit heal.
While this story was picked up by Breitbart two days ago, it appears to have come out in the Christian Post three days ago, with this information presented:
Doctor Jan Ilhan Kizilhan heads a project that has helped bring over 1,100 women and girls victimized by the militant group to Germany to help heal their physical and emotional wounds through a project started in 2014 which is run by the German state Baden-Wurttemberg.
Kizilhan told AFP that he has personally been told over 1,400 horrifying stories of how the barbaric terrorist group has brutally raped and abused religious minority girls and women who were captured and sexually enslaved.
From Almonitor, the Pulse of the Middle East
Kizilhan — a Turkish Kurd who immigrated to Germany as a child — is heading a treatment program for IS rape victims, created last year by the parliament of Germany’s state of Baden-Wurttemberg. He spoke about his work with the victims, though he often refused to share details about their identities.
“From February 2015 until January 2016, I toured camps in Iraq for two weeks each month. The parliamentary decision required that the women to be brought to Germany be victims who had been abducted by IS, fallen physically or psychologically ill and agreed to treatment in Germany,” Kizilhan told Al-Monitor. “I interviewed 1,403 women in the camps to determine those who met the conditions. I conducted psychological tests and penned reports. The reports were then examined by an official commission comprised of myself and two other members. Eventually we took to Germany 1,100 women who met the conditions.”
Kizilhan stressed IS uses rape as a weapon of war, targeting women from non-Muslim minorities or communities it does not consider Muslims, including Yazidi, Christian, Shiite and Faili Kurdish women. “Rape is not a mere sexual issue. In patriarchal communities in particular, the woman is a concept of honor. So rape is a means of crushing the honor and dignity of the community. Many men, for instance, are known to have committed suicide after their wives were raped in wartime. In Bosnia, too, incidents of rape were rife,” he said. “In the IS war, however, rape has an additional meaning. [IS] men believe that, through rape, they take possession of those communities. ‘Now you are one of us, one of our religion’ is what they say to a Yazidi or a Christian woman. That’s why some victims recount stories of how the wives of IS militants helped their husbands in the rapes.”
The ages of the victims Kizilhan interviewed ranged from 8 to 64. Of the women he took to Germany, more than 70 were younger than 18.
Mama, You are, and always have been, our resident philosopher. My daughter and granddaughter have been out w/ us in San Diego for the past month. There is nothing more important. Nothing. Having children back in the 80's taught me that children are what it's all about. A grandchild reinforced that.
