Summary

Description Post-Card by Sarrafian brothers of Beirut of a group of Yezidis of Jabal [mountain] of Sinjar at the Iraqi-Syrian border. The Yezidi started settling in the mountain beginning in the 13th. century following the severe persecution by the Zengid Atabeg of Mosul, Badr al-Din Lulu. and later by the frequent Ottoman campaigns against the Sheikhan Yezidis north of Mosul. The mountain was a strong hold of the Nestorian Christians, who's Diocese ceased to exist after the 17th. century. The first of many campaigns by the Ottoman Turks, against the Yezidis of the Mountain, called by the Turks "THE SACLI DAGH", the mountain of the "HAIRY ONE'S", was carried by Melek Ahmad Pasha, the Vali of Diyarbekir [ 1640], the second by the Ottoman Firari Mustapha, the last occupation was in 1918, and directed against Hamu Sharu, the Sheikh of the Fuqara Yezidis, who refused to hand in the Christians refugees who sought shelter in the mountain from S.E.Turkey.
