Abstract

Firari Mustafa Pasha had camped at the foot of Sincar castle with his sealike army. One side of Mt. Sincar is called Saçh Dagi (“Mountain of the Hairy Ones” ) and on that merciless mountain live 44,000 or 45,000 Yezidis and Bapiris, dog worshippers, worse than infidels, a band of rebels and brigands and perverts, resembling ghouls of the desert, hairy heretic Yezidi Kurds.
