They're just as fundamentalist as the Taliban. Just ask what Ansar al-Islam, a Kurdish Islamic fundamentalist group funded by Iran which has links to the Turkish Hezbollah and Al-Qaeda, thinks of democracy and a secular Iraq.
To be fair, the article you quoted mentions several times that this was done by a minority religious group in Kurdish Iraq (the Yazidi), who seem to be the main culprits. Tough to paint a whole people as deserving to be 'bombed out of existence' based on this article. People have been beaten up and killed in North America for being gay... and not just one time.

And if they're really a people who should be bombed out of existence, why are they among the best allies the US has there?
