Yazidi Religion and the "Devil Worshipper" Misconception
The Yazidi people, currently trapped on a mountain in Iraq, are clarified to be a Kurdish group with a religion linked to Zoroastrianism and Sufi Islam, rather than being Christians as some media outlets imply. They are considered apostates by Sunnis. The hosts debunk the narrative that the U.S. is only intervening to save Christians, noting the Yazidis' distinct cultural and religious identity in the Nineveh province.
