Nobel Peace Prize Winning Human Rights Activist, Nadia Murad shared a harrowing story of how she escaped from ISIS while she and other survivors from other countries tell their story to President Trump at the White House..but things took a very awkward turn when he asked her where her family was despite having told him TWICE that they were murdered by the Islamic State!!

In her moving monologue, she stood beside him and urged him to help her Yazidi community return home to Iraq by intervening in the conflict between Iraqi and Kurdish forces fighting over land that ISIS once controlled.

She said ISIS had killed her mother and all of her brothers before taking her and other women as prisoners

She said "Now there's no ISIS, but we cannot go back home because the Kurdish government and the Iraqi government, they are fighting each over who will control my area. They killed my mom and 6 brothers"

Cutting her off mid sentence, Trump says "Where are they now?"

Nadia was taken aback by that and pauses before saying "They killed them. They are in the mass graves in Sinjar and i'm fighting just to leave. Please do something"

Trump, who boasted crushing the Islamic State appeared confused when Murad asked him to press the 2 governments to create safe conditions for their people and said "But ISIS is gone and now it's Kurdish and who? I know the area you're talking about very well"

Murad is one of the 27 survivors of religious prosecution who met with Trump in a promotion of an effort to protect religious freedoms.

Others spoke including a Jewish Holocaust survivor, a Tibetan from China and a Rohingya Muslim from Myanmar

Murad was brutally raped and beaten by ISIS terrorist soldiers before she escaped to Germany where she now lives

She became the first woman from Iraq to win a Nobel Peace Prize for her activism in speaking out against abuse and sexual violence and now travels the world in speaking how sex trafficking is used as a weapon in war

As she backed away while telling her story, Trump questioned her Nobel Prize win and aid "So they gave you a Nobel Prize? That's incredible. They gave it to you for what reason?

A bemused Murad says "For what reason? After all that has happened to me. I didn't give up. I made it clear that ISIS raped thousands of Yazidi women"

Trump then says "Oh really? So you escaped?" as Murad retorted she's still not free because she can't go home and live in a safe place to get her dignity back as it's not about ISIS but the fact she's in danger and her people can't go back.

Trump also seemed bewildered when Mohib Ullah told him about the violence in Myanmar and that his people wanted to go back as soon as possible asking the President for help and Trump says "And where is that exactly?".

Ullah, a Bangladesh refugee was referencing the thousand that escaped persecution from Myanmar and former Republican Kansas Governor, Sam Brownback says "That is right next to Burma sir" and Trump says "I see"

Do you think Trump was insensitive in this meeting?
