It's not like these Yazidi guys have any more respect for women than Muslims, but I've had some sympathy for them since reading this a few months ago:

Iraq bombs: 250 die in worst terror attack
Telegraph
15/08/2007
Al-Qa'eda has been blamed for the deaths of 250 Iraqis in a co-ordinated bomb attack - the worst terrorist atrocity the country has witnessed since the downfall of Saddam Hussein four years ago. Five fuel tankers were driven by suicide bombers into two crowded villages belonging to Kurdish members of the Yazidi religious sect before they were detonated almost simultaneously.
What occurs to me is that since the Yazidi were the victims of suicide bombers, they must have done something truly awful to inspire the oppressed yet brave al-Qaedans to resort to this weapon of the powerless. My suspicion immediately falls on Yazidi foreign policy, and I hereby call on them to change it (whatever it is), and to withdraw from Kashmir and wherever else they are oppressing Muslims. After all, we're all al-Qaeda now.
