Yezidis

Well Iraq is predominatly a Muslim country it is by no means homogonous. Various different ethnic and religious groups make up the region. One of these groups is the Yezidis, most likely descendents of the pre-Islamic Kurds, and accused by the Muslims and some Christians as well, of Devil-Worship. Michael Totten's site is turning out to be a real treasure. Bookmark it!
