The Yazidis of northern Iraq – whose plight on Mount Sinjar was much publicized this past summer – are even less lucky. The Islamic State regards them as pagans, and therefore, undeserving of the protections traditionally accorded to Christians or Jews under Islamic law.
伊拉克北部的雅兹迪人（Yazidis）更加倒霉。他们受困于辛佳尔山（Mount Sinjar）的故事在今年夏天引起了广泛报道。伊斯兰国把他们视为异教徒，因此他们不能根据传统伊斯兰教法如基督徒或犹太人一样获得保护。结果，许多雅兹迪人被杀戮或沦为奴隶。
