    Very sad indeed - watching her aunt speak this morning broke my heart. You could see how loved she was and how highly they thought of her.

    I hope she didn't suffer too much at the hands of her murderers.

    I would love to Scott. Unfortunately these days there are far to many sad stories. I promise I'll post something positive and up beat before the night is done. That I will do. This lady needs to have her story told. She needs people to know about her and not the fucken kardashians.

    sad.

    it doesn't pay to try to help anyone over there. all it does is get you killed.

    Agreed. The sad thing it is there are so many other places, safer places, where she could have helped people in need. I don't know if it was naivety or what, but she should not have been there. I know she was only trying to do good - the girl had a heart of gold - but that is not an area of the world for a young, American woman to be in. I really hope the stories about her being given as a bride to an ISIS fighter are not true, and that she was treated differently. She was a remarkable young woman.

    Dude, did u read the article? The freed hostages said that she wasn't sexually abused. I know Isis are the devils on earth, but let's not add more false info into these fucked up stories from the Middle East.

    Yes I did. The article was written on the 10th. The next day it was reported that she may have been given as a bride to ISIS, although it is still unconfirmed. Which is why I said that ai hoped the rumours weren't true. The freed hostages don't know what happened to her after they were freed.

    But yet we'll speculate that they gave her away as a bride. No evidence but we'll just say that it happened.

    Does that sort of thing happen often? Boko did it I think. I don't know, but if so, then it is worth speculating on. No reason to jump to concconclusion though. Think about Chapel Hill BB, even in the absence of evidence it's within speculative reason to question the possibility of anti-Muslim motive, because there is a clear history of such actions in America.

    I agree that this is a great benevolent young lady but she put herself squarely in harms way.Was this a ministry type outreach mission or was it just her ,a backpack ,and a heart of gold ?

    I hear ya, but you have fellow hostages pretty much saying they treated her great, which we all hope was the case. Either way, no matter how we look at it, it sucked all around. Another human killed for no reason. When will it all stop?

    To be fair, we can add atheist to that list too. Since they are implying this killer in chapel hill is an atheist. I did hear that right?

    I don't know if I would go so far as to call this post victim blaming ("she shouldn't have been there"), but it bothers me nonetheless. maybe it's somewhat sexist to say that "that's not an area of the world for a young woman to be". is it a part of the world for a young man to be?

    my apologies if I'm mis-reading your post. I just don't think it does any good to make comments saying that a woman has no place somewhere and that if she wanted to do good, she should have left the bad places to the men.

    from the article I read, she was not naive at all. she put herself in harm's way all the time for the greater good. she was doing the work she set out to do. good for her.

    It is if all the atheists gather to affirm their beliefs or practice ritualized behaviors among many other things- which they don't.

    I'm not sure where the idea sprang regarding aetheism as a faith, but it's not a legitimate idea at all.

    I don't know either. the absence of faith is a faith? it's really kind of silly.
