In a video posted online on August 20, 2014, an ISIS commander explains that they offer the Yazidis a chance to convert to Islam before killing them. "The Islamic State does its utmost for the repentance of any infidel - Yazidi, Crusader [i.e., Christian], or Jewish," the commander claims. The video shows a scene of mass conversion, with a hall full of Yazidi men reciting the two shahadas.
