    "organized whirlwind", as described by human rights activists and a former politician, has forced dozens of Yazidi families residing in Kurdistan to flee to Sinjar.

    Yazidi activist and human rights defender, Farhad Ali, said in a press statement that “since yesterday, Thursday, more than 700 Yazidi families have left Kurdistan, due to the hate speech issued by some clerics in the region.”
     


    He explained that the speech of the "clerics caused a state of fear and panic among the people," noting that "the situation is difficult, including the Yazidis residing in camps in the Kurdistan Region and Sinjar."
     
    He added, "The families do not know what to do and their members want to stop the current 'storm' and not spread hate speech, and to preserve brotherhood and coexistence among all Iraqi components."
     
    The activist published several video recordings on the (X) platform documenting the escape movements towards Sinjar.
     
    Yazidi activist Murad Ismail added that “the hate speech that prompted Yazidi families to flee came in the wake of recent statements by the commander of the Sinjar forces, Qasim Shasho, which he made on the anniversary of the genocide carried out by ISIS.”
     
    “It is disturbing how the actions or statements of any individual Yazidi lead to the entire Yazidi community being blamed, dehumanized and excommunicated,” he tweeted.
     
    For its part, the security and administrative authorities in Dohuk and Zakho governorates denied the news that displaced persons had fled Yazidi camps for fear of revenge by Islamic extremists following Shasho’s statements.
     
    What's the story behind the statements?
     
    The "hate speech" that spread against the Yazidi community in Iraq came after a video clip was circulated by social media users of the commander of the Sinjar forces, Qasim Shasho, in which he was accused of insulting the Prophet Muhammad and inciting war between religions.
     
    Despite the clarification published by the Yazidi leader and circulated by the media, the situation of broadcasting hate speech against the Yazidis did not stop, as human rights activists said.
     
    The statement by the Sinjar forces commander said, "He did not mean to offend Islam, Muslims, or the Prophet Muhammad."
     
    He added that he "wanted to remind that as long as the extremists exist, the attacks against the Yazidis will continue."
     
    Meanwhile, the "Yazidi community" issued a statement, in which it explained that "a sentence from (Shsho's) speech about the genocides was used without intending the Prophet Muhammad or insulting his noble person."
     
    The statement added: "The phrase did not express his position, nor the position of the Yazidi community, nor the Yazidi religion, which is based on respect for peoples and beliefs," stressing the clarification published by Shasho, and that "his words were targeting the terrorist groups that insulted the true Islamic religion more than insulting others."
     
     
    The "Yazidi community" considered that what it described as "parties of political Islam and their media platforms are using social media to incite the religious feelings of our Muslim brothers, using unintended words that were incorrectly interpreted by the commander of the Sinjar forces," referring to "an organized campaign via social media to incite the killing of the Yazidis, who have been suffering for many years from being declared infidels, and extremists spare no effort but to exploit it to threaten our peaceful people."
     
    He concluded by saying: “We draw the attention of the Iraqi government, the regional government, and the international community to the seriousness of the situation and the concerns of the defenceless Yazidi citizens, especially those residing in displacement camps.”
     
    Iraqi media reported that the Nineveh Court of Appeal issued an arrest warrant against the commander of the Sinjar forces, on charges of insulting the Prophet Muhammad and "inciting a war between religions."
     
    The legal article applicable to the charge is No. (195) of the Iraqi Penal Code, as stated in the memorandum, which did not refer to the plaintiff.
     
    Several condemnations were issued for the speech made by Shasho, which was considered "offensive to the Prophet Muhammad."
     
    The most prominent of these was from Jamal Al-Dhari, Secretary-General of the National Project in Iraq, who said via (X): “We condemn in the strongest terms the insult of the so-called Qasim Shasho to our noble Messenger Muhammad and to the true Islamic religion, exploiting the memory of the Yazidi genocide to advance his malicious agenda.”
     
    Al-Dhari added: "While we affirm our rejection and condemnation of the crimes of the terrorist organization ISIS, which have nothing to do with the teachings of Islam, we call on the Iraqi government and all political forces to firmly confront these abuses."
     
    He also called for "bringing the instigators and offenders to justice to serve as an example to anyone who tries to spread division and offend religions, messengers and sacred religious symbols."
     
    No official statement has been issued yet by the Iraqi government or the Kurdistan Regional Government.
     
    For his part, Yazidi human rights activist Murad Ismail pointed to “thousands of hate speech, posts and comments on social media that have spread over the past few days.”
     
    Ismail said, "The above is happening in light of the silence of the security and judicial institutions."
     
    He explained that "hundreds of Yazidi families are now rushing to leave the camps for the displaced as a result of hate speech and threats from extremists following Shasho's statements."
     
    He added that "the Iraqi government and the Kurdistan Regional Government have the legal responsibility to prosecute these extremists who spread hatred against the Yazidis in public forums and incite violence against them."
