American Hostage Kayla Mueller Remembered for Defending Her Faith Before ISIS

An American hostage held by ISIS for 18 months who died in captivity is being remembered as a woman of courage and compassion who even defended her Christian faith to the executioner known as “Jihadi John” . . .

“My name is Kayla Mueller. I need your help,” an exhausted Mueller said in a “proof of life” video. “I’ve been here too long, and I’ve been very sick, and it’s very terrifying here.”

The 25-year-old endured torture, rape, verbal abuse, and slave labor at the hands of ISIS, but her fellow hostages tell ABC News she never gave up hope and put the needs of other hostages above her own . . .

A former hostage from Denmark, Daniel Rye, told ABC News how Mueller stood up to one of her captors.

“One of the Beatles started to say, ‘Oh, this is Kayla and she has been held all by herself. And she is much stronger than you guys. And she’s much smarter. She converted to Islam.’ And then she was like, ‘No, I didn’t,'” Rye said. (Read more from “American Hostage Kayla Mueller Remembered for Defending Her Faith Before ISIS” HERE)
