	The Yezidi Satanists - Below Top Secret General Discussion
		Seriously though, this book says that their god, Melek Taus, was trying to do right, but screwed up or became evil, and then tried to apologize.
		Apparently, muslims give special status to jews and christians as 'peopel of the book', and the yezidi are looked down upon for having oral supperstitions, rather than a holy book, so they might've put one together for that purpose, or raised the status of a prayer book.
		Notice also that the sacred book is in arabic, a foreign language to the ostensibly kurdish yezidi, and that only their preists (and, I beleive, 'singers' of their prayers or some such) speak arabic, usually just enough to say the prayers.
