The two Americans killed in an ISIS-claimed attack in Tajikistan over the weekend were a couple from Washington D.C. who left their lives in the nation's capital to see the world together by bicycle. According to Lauren Geoghegan's parents, the year-long cycle adventure was typical of their daughter's "openness to new people and places, and her quest for a better understanding of the world."

Robert and Elvira Geoghegan confirmed in a statement sent to CBS News that Lauren and her boyfriend Jay Austin, both 29 years old, were killed in the attack on Sunday as they rode through Tajikistan with a group of other foreign cyclists. A car rammed into the group and then five men got out and attacked the tourists with knives. A Dutch and Swiss national were killed along with Geoghegan and Austin.

Under the couple's recent blog entries, comments poured in from fellow-travellers and others simply inspired by the pair's dedication to studying humanity, and their conviction that, while "badness exists… by and large, humans are kind. Self-interested sometimes, myopic sometimes, but kind. Generous and wonderful and kind. No greater revelation has come from our journey than this."

It would seem that Lauren and others were able to obtain that understanding before they died. It's just sad for all involved it took dying to gain that understanding, when understanding was so easy to do without dying.

Many humans are kind. I have seen some great acts of kindness.

But there are some bad folks out there that will kill for the fun of it.

Run across these and your bike trip is over.

And when biking through Muslim countries your chances rise exponentially.

You completely miss the point.

These two people took off on their bicycles believing in their hearts that the goodness of people would keep them safe.
Tranny has no such conception.
Instead of being filled with the goodness of man she is filled with hate.
A burning hate that has affected her mind to the point where it's the sole subject of her existence.

I remember Tranny defending muslims vociferously.

Would be a good opportunity for her to demonstrate how misguided everyone else is about Islamic culture.

Pippa Bacca ..... an Italian feminist artist who, together with a fellow artist, was hitchhiking internationally to promote world peace under the motto, "marriage between different peoples and nations",[1] symbolically wearing a wedding dress during her trek.[2] On 31 March, 2008, she disappeared in Gebze in Turkey. Her raped body was discovered in the same city on 11 April 2008. The police arrested a man who later led them to her body.[2][3][4]

People do what they have to do. You gotta die of something, might as well be biking across the world, seeing new things and meeting people of other cultures.

They could just as easily have been biking through Baltimore and been set upon by our home grown terrorists.

As much as they like to posture themselves as so "Intelligent and Educated" you would think that superior intelligence would have told them don't cycle into the crucible.

Book smart and devoid of common sense. I'm sure they also believed that they could waltz through West Baltimore and make friends with all the tweakers and corner boys. "Oh, they're just like me, only misunderstood!"

When you live in a bubble and are sheltered from the real world by your choice of news media, it's pretty easy to become ignorant of how other cultures *really* behave.

A young American couple who took a year-long bike trip around the world, believing that evil was a make-believe concept, took a fatal route through ISIS territory in Tajikistan, where alleged ISIS terrorists stabbed them to death.

Their trip, which lasted 369 days, took them from the southernmost tip of Africa in Capetown, South Africa, to Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Malawi, Tanzania, Egypt, Morocco, Spain, France, Italy, Croatia, Montengro, Kosovo, Turkey, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and finally Tajikistan, where they were murdered along with two other cyclists, one from Switzerland and the other from the Netherlands.

While in Morocco, Austin wrote:

You watch the news and you read the papers and you're led to believe that the world is a big, scary place. People, the narrative goes, are not to be trusted. People are bad. People are evil. People are axe murderers and monsters and worse.

I don't buy it. Evil is a make-believe concept we've invented to deal with the complexities of fellow humans holding values and beliefs and perspectives different than our own—it's easier to dismiss an opinion as abhorrent than strive to understand it. Badness exists, sure, but even that's quite rare. By and large, humans are kind. Self-interested sometimes, myopic sometimes, but kind. Generous and wonderful and kind. No greater revelation has come from our journey than this.
