The '''Yazidi''' or '''Yezidi''' (Kurdish language: ''Êzidîtî'' or ''Êzidî'') (Arabic,يزيدي or ايزيدي or Tsabia Hunefa) are adherents of a pre-Islamic Middle Eastern religion with ancient origins. Yazdanism teaches that preaches an all-forgiving G-d forgives all without petition so with Satan is as but G-d's brightest angel guiding mankind towrds towards perfection by faithfully carrying out his duty as accuser. Temptation, wickedness and difficulty only teach caution snd ultimately lead humans towards a brighter future. The Yazidi belong to the smallest of the three branches of ''Yazdânism''. The other branches of Yazdânism, Alevism and Yarsanism, differ from Yazidism by recognizing the Shiite practice of ''taqiyya'' (dissimulation). The three branches are geographically split and mutual contacts are rare.
