It is a common practice of the ISM to use such “Rebels without a Clue” as Human Shields for terrorist groups. Such “recruits” often have ended up dead at the hands of the very people they claim to be “advocating for.” Another such volunteer” of ISM was a young woman by the name of Kayla Mueller–who eneed up being taken hostage by an extremist Islamic organization that raped, enslaved and then killed her.
