Islamist Woman Assists In The Extermination Of Ten Thousand People. She Just Got Sentenced To Death For Her Crimes

An Islamist woman, Asma Mohammed (who was the wife of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi), assisted in the genocide of the Yazidi people in Iraq (in which ISIS murdered 10,000 Yazidis). Now she has been sentenced to death by the Iraqi government for her crimes, as we read in the New York Times:

A court in Iraq has sentenced to death one of the wives of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the slain Islamic State leader, for involvement in crimes against the Yazidi religious minority, according to the country’s judiciary.

When ISIS captured about a third of Iraq and large swathes of territory in neighboring Syria in 2014, the group’s fighters swept through the Sinjar region of northern Iraq, the Yazidis’ ancestral home. The terrorist group killed more than 10,000 members of the religious minority and captured 6,000 others in a campaign that the United Nations has deemed a genocide — but justice has been elusive.

Iraq’s Supreme Judicial Council said on Wednesday that one of Mr. al-Baghdadi’s wives had been found guilty of working with the Islamic State to kidnap and detain Yazidi women.

Although the council did not name the woman who was sentenced, and Mr. al-Baghdadi had more than one wife, The Associated Press identified her as Asma Mohammed and said she had been transferred into Iraqi custody after being captured by Turkish forces.

I wonder if the Pope is going to defend this woman in the name of “human dignity”?
