The Yazidis (also Yezidis, Êzidî; i/jəˈziːdiːz/ yə-ZEE-dees) are an ethno-religious groupindigenous to northern Mesopotamia whose strictly endogamous, and ancient religion Yazidism (or Sharfadin) is not linked to Zoroastrianism but linked to ancient Mesopotamian religions; however Yazidis form a distinct and independent religious community and have their own culture. Yazidis' religion bans marriage to non-Yazidis, however not all Yazidi people adhere this ban. They live primarily in the Nineveh Province of Iraq. Additional communities in Armenia, Georgia, Turkey, Iran, and Syria have been in decline since the 1990s as a result of significant migration to Europe, especially to Germany.
The Yazidis are monotheists, believing in God as creator of the world, which he has placed under the care of seven holy beings or angels, the chief of whom is Melek Taus, the Peacock Angel. The Peacock Angel, as world-ruler, causes both good and bad to befall individuals, and this ambivalent character is reflected in myths of his own temporary fall from God's favour, before his remorseful tears extinguished the fires of his hellish prison and he was reconciled with God.
The Iraqi Yazidi and Yazidism Religion - Documentaries The Yazidis, also Yezidi, Ezidi or Yazdani, are a Kurdish ethnoreligious group. They live largely in the Nineveh Province of Iraq. Additional communities in Armenia, Georgia, and Syria have been in decline since the 1990s as an outcome of significant migration to Europe, especially to Germany. Their syncretic religion, known as Yazidism and qualified by Mehrdad Izady as a sort of Yazdanism, has links to Zoroastrianism and ancient Mesopotamian faiths. Yazidis are monotheists, believing in God as developer of the world, which he has put under the treatment of seven divine beings or angels, the chief of whom is Melek Taus, the Peacock Angel, who, as world-ruler, induces both bad and great to befall individuals, an ambivalence reflected...

Iraqi Kurdish MP from the ancient Yazidi faith, Vian Dakhil, gave a very emotional appeal in the Iraqi Parliament while in tears to rescue the Yazidis of Iraq from being exterminated by the Wahhabi Islamic group, the Islamic State, which is formerly known as the "Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant" (ISIL). She states that 500 Yazidi men have been slaughtered by ISIL and that Yazidi women are being taken as slaves and sold in the slave market. She also mentions that ISIL is besieging the Sinjar Mountain, where 30,000 Yazidi families reside, while depriving them of food and water. She said - "They are dying. Seventy children have died so far of thirst and suffocation. Fifty elderly people have died because of deteriorating conditions. The Yazidis suffered 72 genocides and it is being rep...

Since august 2014, thousands of Yazidis have been persecuted by ISIS. The men are shot, the women and young girls sold and raped, the young boys are converted by force to Islam and made to become ISIS fighters/soldiers. Action for Yazidis collects the words of survivors to document and offer evidence of every step of the genocide. The semi-structured interviews with Yazidi victims of all ages – women, men, children, and elderly people who escaped slavery and imprisonment by ISIS are crossed-referenced with other sources, including photographic and written material, as well as facts from separate testimonies. Action Yazidis is led by Patrick Desbois and his teams, benefitting from more than ten years’ experience focusing on genocides of the 20th Century in over ten countries.
Channel 4 News’ Kylie Morris talks to one of Britain's leading human rights lawyers, Amal Clooney, who has spoken out against the UN for not doing enough to stop the genocide of the Yazidi people.

She's working alongside a champion of the Yazidi people and survivor of Islamic State violence - who yesterday opened the General Assembly - Nadia Murad.

Directed by prof. Emanuela C. Del Re - Lalish Temple, the main Yazidi religious place, during the Jazhna Jamaye, the most significant Yazidi Festival. October 2013 Iraqi Kurdistan Due to serious threats following terrorist attacks that had taken place in Iraqi Kurdistan in previous days, the Jazhna Jamaye, the most signficant religious festival of the Yazidi, ancient, peaceful and consistent minority in Iraqi Kurdistan, has been canceled by the authorities for security reasons. Out of the thousands of Yazidi from all over the world expected to gather in Lalish every October, in 2013 only a few hundreds have participated in the festival.
