The fascist giants of Mordor don’t like the Jews because of their religious writings (see yesterday’s post). They don’t like the Kurds, or rather the Yazidis, for the same reason. The “gumby brains” follow suit.
“Yazidism, alternatively Sharfadin, is a monotheistic ethnic religion that has roots in a western Iranic pre-Zoroastrian religion directly derived from the Indo-Iranian tradition. It is followed by the mainly Kurdish-speaking Yazidis” (Wikipedia). Some people believe Yazidis and Kurds are the same group, however most Kurds are Muslims.
Yazidi religion finds it’s roots in pre-Zoroastrian, Indo-Aryan monotheism. No one is sure how old their religion is. The Yazidis believe in the rebirth of the soul.
In the Yazidi creation story God created the first man, Adam, and ordered the 7 angels to worship him. One, Tewus Malek, refused; proclaiming he would worship no one but God. In Yazidism this is the highest good and proves Tewus Malek’s purest devotion to God. The event is described as a test.
This contrasts the Islamic creation story; God orders the angels to worship Adam. The one angel who refused was punished for disobedience and became Satan.
