ISIS members believe that raping children and women of different religions is not a sin, considering that they do not practice Islam. Before and after the process, the kneel to pray, thinking that they are doing a service to their God. Radical activists believe that by raping young women and children, they are coming closer to God, and that they are allowed to rape non-believers. These incidents occur most with the Yazidi religious minority considering they strictly go against radical ideas of people in support of the Islamic State. This practice has become engrained in their daily festivities, as it promotes their cause and persuades them to think they are doing good.
