Abstrakt: |
Cagots and Yazidis are two peoples united by the same fate, that of the scapegoat. Considered sons of Lucifer, Iblis for Muslims, they have been victims of persecutions and segregation over centuries. Their obscure origin and their customs, beliefs, traditions, fundamentally shrouded in mystery, have aroused suspicion, distrust and hatred over time. Their existential diversity is at the origin of the "prisons" that were created by the community of the so-called "normal". While the Cagots were lost in the nineteenth century, when their complete and bourgeois integration was achieved, the Yazidis still inhabit Kurdistan, well recognizable and condemned to bear a stigma, that of belonging to a race maudite.
