Do Yazidi and Christan Refugees have Rights?

As recently reported in an article in the Deseret News, “As world leaders grapple with how to help refugees in the largest migration crisis since World War II, citizens across Europe are weighing in with protests on both sides of the issue. 

Rallies in England and Slovenia over the weekend called for resettling more refugees in Europe and faster movement on asylum applications. Others, such as one in Germany several weeks ago, have demanded stronger border protections and the rejection of Muslim migrants”. 

All of us can understand the dilemma Europe is facing, as it relates to the movement of thousands of refugees throughout the EU, especially as there still does not appear to be a sure way of vetting the refugees to prevent Muslim extremists connected with ISIS from joining the ranks with the refugees. 

But the one thing that is normally not reported and for the most part is being forgotten and ignored, is the plight of Christian and Yazidi refugees displaced in Northern Iraq by ISIS, . Where is the outcry for these people and their rights? Currently almost one million Christians and Yazidis have fled their homes in order to escape being slaughtered and for now have found refuge in the Kurdish area of Northern Iraq. The Kurdish regional government is for the most part shouldering the burden of taking care of these people; having set up temporary shelters and providing for their basic needs. 

Many Christian and Yazidi refugees have lost loved ones who were either murdered or sold into slavery, many women and children having endured being raped and tortured. ISIS radical Islamic terrorists have been in the process of hunting down Christians and Yazidis in an effort to annihilate and exterminate them from the Earth. 

These refugees, now living in Kurdistan Iraq, are not necessarily seeking for asylum or to be transplanted into another country. They desire only to be able to return to their homes, without fear of being tortured or murdered. Most of them have lost everything they possessed in this world, having left everything behind in their haste to flee before ISIS could catch up with them. 

What about their rights? Who is fighting for their rights? Where is the outcry or the outrage over their situation? Who is going to insure they, someday, will live free of fear? Who is going to give them hope their children will in the near future be able to lead a normal life, attend school, raise a family, and be able to worship as they choose with their God given right to religious freedom?

Operation Give choses to do something now, no matter how small, to improve their plight and quality of life. We chose to help our fellow Christians with humanitarian supplies that might for a short time provide them basic things they need to help sustain and maintain them through this difficult time. 

Won’t you join with us to do something to help our fellow Christians? If you don’t know what you can do, then be part of our effort to send humanitarian supplies to those refugees in Northern Iraq, who want only to be able to return to their homes and resume their lives.
