The woman, who had worked as a missionary in Timbuktu for years, was abducted for the second time in early 2016. She was abducted by Islamists for the first time in April 2012.

I dont know what I should think about, to be honest.

- It is sad that she is dead.

- It was sad what she was doing there

- it was stupid to do it twice

In times where the christ churches at home only rarely get visited and any year less people say that they belong to a church and pay church taxes.

To bring christianity to africa in this (or any-) times, a religion who did force witch burning and did let slavery happen - where the pope speaks against condoms - what a mess.

Only a radically religious Person would do such a job. To do it twice is asking for the darwin award.

Radical people are suspect in my eyes - regardless of religion

Are I`m the only one? Probably a bit too sarcastic, but.... Often not we tourist are in focus of these mentioned cases...
