No, he pointed out that terrorists exploit religion. People have always used religion to justify bad deeds. Nothing new, nothing factually inaccurate. He wasn't justifying their actions.

It is rhetoric. He used language designed to persuade someone into his same line of thinking.

It's one thing to go with military and other life saving entities like firemen on 9/11 but she went over there on peace saving trips without proper protection. Not the path most would choose but they know death is part of it and if that's what they want to do so be it, you are putting yourself in harms way and expecting the military to come rescue you.

But again, taking that and turning it into "I have no sympathy for somoene like that" is so far out there, as it was said already, you have to have some deep rooted type hatred or issues if you truly believe that.

So we shouldn't support people who are attempting to make the world a better place?

She was abducted while leaving a hospital in Syria.

O no, I know that. I was just being facetious because GRTiger was mad that I said he was perpetuating the rhetoric that Obama was trying to give ISIS a pass by comparing them to Crusading Christians.

I don't think she went there with intention of being captured or becoming a martyr.

She sounds real bright....She probably never thought of being captured would ever happen
Is it terrible she died, yes....But she was an idiot for going over there

Ms. Mueller, who had been working in Turkey for at least two aid organizations dedicated to helping refugees from Syria’s civil war, traveled into Syria by car on Aug. 3, 2013, and was abducted a day later.
She apparently was traveling with a Syrian man, who has been described by some as her boyfriend or fiancé and by others as her friend or colleague. The man had been hired to repair the Internet connection at the compound used by Doctors Without Borders, the international medical charity, in the war-struck Syrian city of Aleppo.
NY Times Article
Gotcha. So there may be confusion with whether she was working for DWB, but it appears she was, in fact, there giving aid in Turkey to Syrian refugees.
As for this:
quote:
I am in solidarity with the Syrian people. I reject the brutality and the killings that the Syrian authorities are committing against the Syrian people," said Mueller. "Because silence is participation in this crime, I declare my participation in the Syrian Sit In on YouTube."
Not sure that that makes her an "activist" in the sense that she was over in Turkey to protest Syria. Rather, it seems she was over there for aid purposes, saw a bunch of atrocities, and decried them. But that's just the way it appears to me.
