Ten years ago, ISIS sought to destroy the Yezidi community through genocide. We responded with love and resilience, keeping our culture alive every day. Today, FYF honors #Yezidi strength, as we rebuild and thrive. Together, we move forward with hope and dignity. #YezidiGenocide

This is another case of a #ISIS #Daesh member, female, who joined in and participated in atrocities. Not naive, not innocent, but culpable under the law! Good job to @jenanmoussa @HaraldDoornbos

Dear @morgan_freeman , you are a respected celebrity from a historically oppressed community. It is disappointing to see you supporting @TurkishAirlines at the #SuperBowl #SuperBowlLVI #SuperBowlCommercials this year. FYF boycotts Turkish airlines, and here is why. Thread.

Please watch this video at 0:10 - 0:15. If you do not know, the one finger salute is a common symbol of #ISIS #Daesh members. For those European countries who think that female members of ISIS are coming to Europe to repent and join civilized society, think again.
