Amaze me, AHC. How would you do it? How would a nation with a sensible Yatzidite minority (in the millions) develop? How would a nation with a majority or Yazidis work? I'm particulary fond of their inverse gnosticism!

From the article:
"Furthermore, the Yazidi story regarding Tawûsê Melek's rise to favor with God is almost identical to the story of the jinn Iblis in Islam, except that Yazidis revere Tawûsê Melek for refusing to submit to Adam, while Muslims believe that Iblis' refusal to submit caused him to fall out of Grace with God, and to later become Satan himself.[24]"
Toughts?
