Can you back this up with some info?
I have zero sympathy for missionaries (Christian, Muslim, whatever proselytizing asshole tradition you're following), but your comment seems really presumptuous. From what I've read, she was more interested in genuine doing and helping, than spreading some disruptive and dangerous "word."
I don't have anything to back it up, it's just a lot of the reason why people go to those places.

Even so, she did more good in her short life than you probably will ever do in yours. So. There's that.
Some people make calculated risks, so that they can help humanity.
Others sit safely in their cubicle, working to provide a decent life for their families, while posting anonymously on a message board, criticizing the choices of the risk takers.
(Also, we like run-on sentences.)
My best to her and her family.

Along with confirming the news of her death, the Mueller family released a letter they received from their daughter in spring 2014, via a former ISIS captive who had been released.
“If you could say I have ‘suffered’ at all throughout this whole experience it is only in knowing how much suffering I have put you all through,” she wrote in her last letter. “I have been shown in darkness, light + have learned that even in prison, one can be free. I am grateful. I have come to see that there is good in every situation, sometimes we just have to look for it.”

WOW instead of applauding her for giving her life in serving other people, you can't muster anything but "poor stupid girl." Do you even have any idea what it is like to be a human being in one of those countries. I DO! Someone coming to help you and showing they care is more than words can describe. I guess we should just all hide in our little holes and screw the people suffering all over the world. I applaud her and the life she lived.

OP, you care enough to write a post but not even find out the name of that "girl?" You are a pathetic and nasty gossip.

It's stupid that anyone would venture to that part of the world. I would chain my child to the basement floor.

Do they know the danger? If so is she partially to blame or are they clueless? Seems so risky to do this.

Via Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kayla_Mueller
"Kayla Jean Mueller was an American humanitarian aid worker from Prescott, Arizona, taken captive in August 2013 in Aleppo, Syria, while leaving a Doctors Without Borders hospital."
She was a charitable humanitarian, who devoted her young life to helping people of war. Far more than most of us will have done/given in our (longer) lives.

She sounds like she was a lovely person and was quite aware of the dangers. It sounds like she handled herself with dignity while in captivity. I admire her.

Humanitarian. They don't belong there but believe they can help.

Not trying to sound totally insensitive but didn't someone warn her about going over there? I don't get it. You don't just wander into that part of the world. So sad.
