Why have there been no fatwas against the slaughter of Yazidis especially since its being

[MADem]

21. Find the fatwas opposing the Holocaust during WW2, why don't you?

Find the ones protesting the Armenian genocide, too, while you're at it.

Maybe you aren't clear on what those fatwahs are all about. It's a religious leader, talking to HIS people, about stuff that affects THEM.

It's not like the Pope talking about Peace, Love and Understanding. These Ayatullahs do not have that degree of reach, nor does their concern extend very far outside their own particular sect. They'll deal happily with other Muslims, so long as there is no conflict of interest, and they will "respect" people of the book (Xtians and Jews) but they really don't have a lot of love in their hearts for what they regard as Shatan-worshipping weirdos, which is how they view the Yazid. They feel the same way about Zoroastrians.

I imagine you've turned blue, and passed out, and begun breathing in a ragged, uneven way once more as you slowly regain consciousness after your breath-holding exercise, because you aren't going to find any full-throated defense of the Yazid coming out of the Ayatullahs. If you know anything about grassroots shi'a Islam you already know this, so why ask? The best you're going to get is that generic "Iraqi people, fight the invaders" argument, and since the Yazid are Iraqis, they're included in that exhortation.
