    It's hard for me to feel sorry for clueless people, it just is, and this dead couple qualifies. Bummer for them and theirs but zero shits allocated.

    It’s a no win situation for them. Suppose they were correct and biked across the Middle East unmolested and 100% in tact and had a wonderful experience meeting wonderful people. NOBODY CARES. It changes zero opinions. The right says fake news and the left says of course. The whole exercise is futile.

    Now however it ONLY enforces the opinion of people of our ilk.

    In a way, the death of that couple does serve a purpose: It's the perfect cautionary tale for any other idiots that think the world is a beautiful place full of shiny happy people holding hands.

    I had a friend who grew up in Southside. He volunteered to enlist and go to Vietnam as he thought it would be safer. Turned out he was right. He survived his 12 months and when he got home he found his best friend in a gutter knifed.

    People can believe whatever they want but other people are free to do what they want regardless of your belief. And some of them are evil, or sociopaths/psychopaths and have no concept of caring one whit for another human being. I do respect this couple acting on their belief. Many liberals sit home in their giant carbon ass-print homes and merely lecture others.

    Anne Frank once said "I keep my ideals, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart". She died in a concentration camp.

    I'm glad there are good people in this world, really I am. I just wish they could get their heads out of the sand and realize there is true evil in this world too.
    Reads a lot, posts little.

    And even though she died, "good people" fought a war against the evil that killed her and brought an end to those concentration camps. And I think that was the point of the quote and the reason her father printed her diaries.

    So while not everyone is essentially good, every time somebody makes the assertion that everyone is a sinner and most of humanity is bad, it's a slap in the face of every one who ever died trying to save the life of another person. And there have been a lot of "good people" throughout history who died trying to make the world a better place or to protect the innocent.

    I wish we lived in a world where Anne Frank was right and people could bicycle everywhere without fear of anything, but I'm not going to lay blame at the feet of the victims even if they are naive, misguided or even completely clueless. Some soulless creature murdered innocents in the name of religion and that is who I blame.

    And I'm honestly glad that there are people who haven't experienced true evil, who haven't had to see real suffering first hand and can live an existence uncontaminated by these creatures. I only wish they had stayed in their safety bubble, it must be nice to not know how bad things can be.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    Pluralist (link cited in the OP) published a slanted, misleading and in some parts factually incorrect story, and they've had to amend it twice as a result.

    The cyclists weren't on a mission to prove something political or ideological -- pure bullshit unsupported by anything they said or wrote, but spun that way ex post facto as red meat for those whose ignorance or tilt makes them susceptible to the message.

    Tajikistan is neither ISIS territory nor high risk travel destination.

    They were travelers who happened to draw the short straw.

    Shame there's so much schadenfreude over American citizens killed by terrorists.
