Are these supposed to be the good guys?

To be fair, this is an insular, non-Islamic sect not representative of the larger Kurdish population, who generally practice a form of Islam more tolerant than that practiced by others in the region, and it's probably not fair even to generalize about the sect based on this one incident, but WTF?
I couldn't even watch it, honestly. Just the thought that humans behave in this manner makes me ill. But it needs to stop, yesterday.

Kurdish Yezidi girl is stoned by a large mob for living with a Muslim man, having been lured back home by her family's claims of forgiveness.
