The story of a 14 yr old kidnapped Yazidi girl:

"The militants divided us by gender and age: One for young and capable men, another for girls and young women, and a third for older men and women. The jihadists stole cash and jewellery from this last group, and left them alone at the oasis. Then they placed the girls and women in trucks. As they drove us away, we heard gunshots. Later we learned that they were killing the young men, including my 19-year old brother, who had married just six months ago.
That afternoon, they brought us to an empty school in Baaj, a little town west of Mosul near the Syrian border. We met many other Yazidi women who were captured by Islamic State. Their fathers, brothers and husbands had also been killed, they told us. Then Islamic State fighters entered. One of them recited the words to the shahada, the Muslim creed – “I testify that there is no God but Allah, and that Muhammad is his prophet” – and said that if we repeated them, we would become Muslims. But we refused. They were furious. They insulted us a lot and cursed us and our beliefs."

This is the root of all problems. As long as people (terrorists, militants and even the peaceful ordinary citizens) believe in the exclusivity of their religion and god, the world is never going to be a peaceful place. A religion which propagates that can never be a peaceful religion.

so hard to relate to any of this. the closest i may have come to a fearful situation like this was ... actually never. even at the time of major riots in my city, i never felt unsafe. Can't even begin to imagine what they go through. I think I may not be able to handle even one day of this.
