Why Kayla Mueller, raped repeatedly by ISIS leader, refused to escape

A 14-year old Yazidi girl captured by ISIS in Iraq last August revealed the American aid worker’s ordeal to US officials who later confirmed the reports. The young girl says she spent two months with Mueller in a house in the Syrian town of al-Shadadiya before escaping in October 2014, reports London’s Independent.

ISIS militants held Mueller and the witness in a room with two other Yazidi teenagers and repeatedly abused all four girls. When al-Baghdadi was around, he would take Mueller to his room, the Yazidi teen said, and the hostage would then tell her fellow captives what he had done to her.

Mueller tried to shield the girls from the terrorists’ abuse and violence, sometimes putting their lives before hers. When the Yazidi girl escaped with her sister, she asked the American to join them, US officials relayed. Yet Mueller refused out of fear that her foreign appearance would put them in danger.

1. Sounds like she was heroic untl her death,

What sickness causes anyone to think raping anyone is okay?

6. rape is a power and domination thing

little to do with sex. It's obviously done by extremely fucked up psychopaths.

2. Heartbreaking story

What an amazing woman.

That the perpetrators of these crimes will never face justice is outrageous.

That many many many more girls and young women will be subjected to this abuse is depressing beyond words.

I hope these ISIS fucks burn in whatever hell they believe in.

How can women be so brave and good and men be so cowardly and hateful?

I think most people do whatever they want that they can get away with, and/or whatever their friends are doing.

But then, there are people like her.
