Thread Name: BS: Last of the Yazidis
Subject: RE: BS: Last of the Yazidis
Simple [Qur'an]:

If 1 million have died then there must be 1 million bodies loafing about somewhere - True?

Someone would have to have seen them die, treated them as they were dying, buried them once they were dead - True? (Unless of course you subscribe to the Christmas theory that bodies are secretly removed by God knows who and disposed of in some unknown manner - as he fervently believes happened at Jenin)

Now as far as Iraq goes, their Health Ministry, their Interior Ministry and a whole raft of NGOs can only produce evidence of ~150,000 deaths - So where did Steve [Qur'an] Shaw's 1 million come from? The answer to that is:

ESTIMATES of numbers of Iraqi civilians who MAY HAVE DIED obtained from Batch Sampled Surveys undertaken in conditions that could only be described as being far from ideal.

Iraq Body Count does a rather good job in rubbishing your figures perhaps you should read it - although I doubt that you will - you and such as yourself do hate it when your inaccurate and dearly held myths get exploded.
