Well this is the daily mail we are talking about the same people who said Dorian was Satoshi so they are a tad sensationalist
Still this does creep me out there is extreme then their is ultra extreme.
The deadline the people of Kosho have to meet is midday today. Since the residents refuse to betray their faith, it is feared an entire village of about 2,500 innocent people might be slaughtered in cold blood.
‘If we did not have families, we would try to escape,’ the stoical Falah told me yesterday. ‘But we have lots of women here and many children, along with all the old men and women of the village. How could we leave them?’
This is thought to be the first time these blood-drenched fanatics – who delight in boasting of their barbarism and posting sickening murder videos on social media – have threatened to wipe out an entire village.
Call to arms
I have a feeling that this really is not "Become Muslim by noon or we will kill you."
Rather it's "Become our particular type of Muslim and support us and everything we say or do or we will kill you."
A reasonable way to deal with this is to recognize an attempt to establish a medevil style Islamic Caliphate.
Then mock it and ridicule it. Watch it fail. Help it fail. Make news of the barbaric nature of this stupid vision.
Let people of the world - primarily Muslims - learn from a bad example. A very, very bad example.
Perhaps a puppet government and a kangaroo state might prove to be an interesting combination, watch it fail and what not.
Also build a few castles for the heck of it.
I think that the Yazidi need to make their own country like the Kurds or join them enough of these divergent groups can make a new power.
Since the whole place is a governmental mess a few minor territories and countries in the region is possible..
Pretty much in Iraq your on your own outside the main capital and nearby areas so having a mountain base like the Communist Chinese and a Yenan to build a country from is possible ^_^.
Anyways the US is thinking about it hope they don't take too long has a time limit.

Outside of Sinjar, the Yazidis are concentrated in areas north of Mosul, and in the Kurdish-controlled province of Dohuk. For Yazidis, the land holds deep religious significance; adherents from all over the world—remnant communities exist in Turkey, Germany, and elsewhere—make pilgrimages to the holy Iraqi city of Lalesh. The city is now less than 40 miles from the Islamic State front lines.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yan%27an#Red_CapitalFrom 1937, Yan'an became the seat of the communist government of what became known as the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region. It became the center for intensive training of party members and army troops. In 1941, Mao Zedong put special influence on a series of training programs to "correct unorthodox tendencies" and essentially mold the peasantry to the communist model. One of the first CPC programs launched was the Yan'an Rectification Movement.
