Yazidi woman rebuilds life in America years after ISIS captivity

[Rudaw] A Yazidi woman, captured by the Islamic State

...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS) at the age of 11, has rebuilt her life in the US. She endured torture and immense suffering, and the loss of family members during the brutal ISIS genocide against the Yazidi community. Many of her loved ones are still missing.

She was rescued from ISIS captivity in 2016 and arrived in the US six months ago to build a new life there.

In the halls of the US Congress, Navin on Wednesday joined several prominent figures and American officials in a ceremony marking the 11th anniversary of the Yazidi genocide.

"We were rescued from ISIS in 2016. Our entire family fell into ISIS hands. Until now, a large part of my family is missing - my father, sisters, brothers, and uncles. We still don't know anything about them. We want the government to help us search for our missing family members and assist those who have been rescued," she told Rudaw.

Although the Yazidi cause has garnered widespread sympathy in the US, Nadine Maenza, former chief of the US Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) told Rudaw that it is time to move beyond words.
