Islamic Militants: Taha and Girls Children

islamic militants: They committed crimes against us, they forced us to change our religion, they raped us, they sold us," she told the House of Commons immigration committee through a translator, according to CTV. Taha was living with her family in northern Iraq in August 2014 when ISIS militants stormed her village and chased her community into the Sinar mountains. Speaking at the House of Commons on Tuesday, Nadia Murad Basee Taha recounted to MPs the atrocities committed against the Kurdish minority group at the hands of Islamic militants. "When they took us, the girls and children, we were not simply held prisoner. Trapped in the remote wilderness, thousands of Yazidis were killed, taken hostage or starved to death. Taha managed to escape with the help of an Iraqi family who lent her an Islamic ID and snuck her away from the chaos under a hijab. Men were slaughtered and women were sold into sex slavery, and scores of Yazidis were killed if they didn't submit to their captors and convert to Islam. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
