Islam in the news

Very true. Just as a side note there is a lot of ammo in this country right now. More than enough to go around......
I wonder. I keep stockpiling more against that day when the left successfully abolishes police and prisons.
Once the criminals they coddled finish raping, robbing, and murdering the lefties who literally voted to let them out of jail, the thugs will run low on stolen food and ammo. That's what I need thousands of rounds for.
Exactly! Let the criminals do the heavy lifting first. Then it is just clean up.
Abolish police and prisons? Are you insane? I see why you post like you do.
I'm not the one advocating for it, Nerdsperg. But I fully intend to enjoy it.

The core claims about the Kocho (Kojo) village massacre are largely accurate; this was a well-documented part of the ISIS genocide against the Yazidis in August 2014.
On 3 August 2014, ISIS (also called Daesh/ISIL) seized control of the Sinjar region in northern Iraq, including the Yazidi village of Kocho. The village was surrounded for roughly 12 days. On 15 August 2014, residents (estimates of the population present range from about 1,200 to 1,700–1,800) were ordered to gather at the village school. ISIS took their phones, money, and valuables, then separated people by gender and age.
Multiple independent sources (Amnesty International, UN investigations, demographic studies, survivor testimony including Nobel laureate Nadia Murad from Kocho, Iraqi/Kurdish records, and mass-grave exhumations) confirm the systematic nature of these killings and enslavement. Confirmed killed or missing from Kocho alone run into the hundreds (one detailed demographic analysis identified ~1,161 victims by name with an estimated total around 1,170 affected; other tallies cite ~500+ confirmed killed/missing with ongoing identifications from mass graves). This was part of the wider Sinjar assault that killed thousands of Yazidis overall and enslaved thousands more.
The video attached to the post is TRT World footage related to the aftermath and survivors (including material connected to Nadia Murad’s return/homecoming and advocacy). It is consistent with documented survivor accounts and the events described.
The UN has recognized the crimes against the Yazidis as genocide. The UN Investigative Team to Promote Accountability for Crimes Committed by Da’esh/ISIL (UNITAD) found “clear and convincing evidence” of genocide, and the UN Commission of Inquiry on Syria and other UN bodies have documented the pattern of mass killings, sexual slavery, and intent to destroy the group in whole or in part.
The claim that “UN watched 500K Yazidis facing Genocide” is an exaggeration/overstatement. The Yazidi population in the Sinjar area was on the order of a few hundred thousand (not 500,000 facing imminent genocide in that specific framing); the overall Yazidi population in Iraq was estimated around 400,000–700,000 historically, with large-scale displacement of tens to hundreds of thousands during the 2014 attacks. The UN did document the crisis, issue warnings, and later investigate, but the response to the initial assault and ongoing needs has been widely criticized as inadequate by survivors and advocates.
Regarding the ICC: The International Criminal Court has not opened a full investigation or prosecuted cases specifically for the Yazidi genocide in Iraq. Iraq is not a party to the Rome Statute, so the ICC lacks territorial jurisdiction over crimes committed there by non-state-party nationals without a UN Security Council referral (which has not occurred, blocked in part by geopolitical factors). Prosecutions have instead occurred mainly in national courts (notably Germany, under universal jurisdiction) and through Iraq’s own processes, with UNITAD supporting evidence collection until its mandate ended. Survivors and advocates (including Nadia Murad) have repeatedly called for stronger international accountability, including ICC involvement or a dedicated tribunal, arguing the response has fallen short.
Bottom line: The description of the Kocho massacre—men killed for refusing conversion, women taken as sex slaves—is factually correct and extensively documented as part of a recognized genocide. The numbers for Kocho itself are in the hundreds killed/abducted rather than a flat “1,700,” and the broader claims about the scale of the Yazidi population under immediate threat and the total inaction of the UN/ICC involve some overstatement, though criticism of the limited international accountability is shared by many survivors and human-rights observers.

What happened in Kocho
On 3 August 2014, ISIS (also called Daesh/ISIL) seized control of the Sinjar region in northern Iraq, including the Yazidi village of Kocho. The village was surrounded for roughly 12 days. On 15 August 2014, residents (estimates of the population present range from about 1,200 to 1,700–1,800) were ordered to gather at the village school. ISIS took their phones, money, and valuables, then separated people by gender and age.
- Men and older boys who refused to convert to Islam were taken away in groups and executed (shot, and in some accounts beheaded or burned). Survivors reported hearing the gunfire from the school.
- Older women (generally past childbearing age) were also killed shortly afterward.
- Younger women and girls were abducted as sex slaves; boys were taken for forced conversion, indoctrination, and use as child soldiers.
Multiple independent sources (Amnesty International, UN investigations, demographic studies, survivor testimony including Nobel laureate Nadia Murad from Kocho, Iraqi/Kurdish records, and mass-grave exhumations) confirm the systematic nature of these killings and enslavement. Confirmed killed or missing from Kocho alone run into the hundreds (one detailed demographic analysis identified ~1,161 victims by name with an estimated total around 1,170 affected; other tallies cite ~500+ confirmed killed/missing with ongoing identifications from mass graves).

Broader context and the UN/ICC claims
The UN has recognized the crimes against the Yazidis as genocide. The UN Investigative Team to Promote Accountability for Crimes Committed by Da’esh/ISIL (UNITAD) found “clear and convincing evidence” of genocide, and the UN Commission of Inquiry on Syria and other UN bodies have documented the pattern of mass killings, sexual slavery, and intent to destroy the group in whole or in part.

The crime (February 29, 2016)
Bobokulova, an Uzbek citizen then aged 38 and working as a nanny for a Moscow family, killed and decapitated 4-year-old Anastasia Meshcheryakova (who had disabilities including epilepsy/learning issues) in the family’s apartment while the parents and older sibling were out.
She set the apartment on fire, then walked to the Oktyabrskoye Pole metro station holding the severed head, shouting “Allahu Akbar,” “I am a terrorist,” and “I am your death,” while threatening to blow herself up.
Bystanders and police eventually overpowered her; the head fell and rolled on the ground in video footage.
She later claimed “Allah ordered” her to do it.
Legal outcome
A psychiatric evaluation found a chronic psychiatric disorder. In November 2016, a Moscow court ruled her not criminally responsible, released her from criminal liability, and ordered compulsory treatment in a high-security specialized psychiatric facility (intensive observation). The parents disputed the insanity finding and sought a criminal trial, but the medical ruling stood. This sparked public outrage in Russia and coverage elsewhere.
The release did not materialize. As of May 2026, she remained confined in a specialized psychiatric hospital with intensive observation in Kazan, Russia (the only such women’s unit of its type in the country). Russian courts declined extradition to Uzbekistan due to lack of guarantees she would not be released there after treatment. No credible reports confirm she has been freed.
The image shows a photo of the woman in dark clothing holding up an object (the head is pixelated/blurred), an inset of Bobokulova, and a photo of the victim. The case remains one of the most notorious crimes in recent Russian history due to its brutality and the religious element.

Of course not. That would be "Islamophobic", I suppose.
