The Australian ISIS bride accused of enslaving a 9-year-old

 

Among the many revolting crimes of the failed Islamist movement ISIS was the enslavement and mistreatment of women and girls. They are Yazidis, a long-persecuted ethnic minority.  Now, a Yazidi woman says she was enslaved and raped as a nine year old girl in the house of an Australian woman, Hodan Abby.
