The lengths that a mother will go for her child are nothing short of remarkable.
For one Yazidi woman captured by ISIS terrorists, that meant enduring a living hell so she could protect her 1-year-old baby from being beaten.
The Daily Mail elaborated on what the woman, Reehan, went through to ensure her infant wasn’t harmed:
A 19-year-old mother, says she allowed her first captor who ‘bought her’ to rape her ‘whenever he wanted’ because he would beat her one-year-old baby son if she resisted.
Her son was the only thing stopping her from taking her own life. Her second jailer raped an elderly mother and her daughter.
After being sold around to other jihadists, Reehan finally found an opportunity for escape. She stole a hijab and fled her captor’s residence.
Reehan managed to find a man who said he would help her cross the border. However, he would only help Reehan if she came up with $15,000. Fortunately, she got a hold of her mother who was able to come up with money she needed.
Reehan now lives in a refugee camp in Iraq. While it may not be ideal circumstances, it’s definitely better than living as a slave to the Islamic State.
A refugee camp in Iraq would seem like heaven after what Reehan went through. I’m amazed her mother had that kind of money. It’s a blessing that she did. Not only is the Islamic State enslaving, raping and terrorizing whole populations in their wake… they are committing genocide against Christians on a worldwide, unprecedented scale and the world stays silent on it. Most notably, Barack Obama, who by all accounts is blocking arms to the Kurds to fight ISIS and is only pretending to go against them. He quietly stands by as Christians are wiped off the map literally in the Middle East. Is it any surprise he has ramped up his campaign against them in the US? This poor woman is one of tens of thousands subjected to the twistedness and whims of Jihadists. Never again has become never mind.
