like so many debates in this place, people use words badly. try having a debate about a politician lying and see what people think 'lying' is!
Indeed and clearly you are no exception to this observation of yours...

the girl did not DESERVE it. no one does. but she was partly responsible for the outcome by virtue of what she did. political correctness would disagree but victims ARE sometimes partly to blame for what happens to them. this is one such case.
Partly to blame? These two girls are entirely responsible for chosing to go and join ISIS - that is all.
Being raped and murdered on the other hand is entirely the responsibility of the rapists and murderers - no ifs, ands or buts about it.
Now many here seem to be enjoying squirming around this topic effectively saying they got what they deserved, despite lacking the fortitude to directly state that (yep, some are directly stating that too, they are just too far gone to even bother with though...)...
NO ONE DESERVES to be raped, murdered, assaulted or harmed by another at any time in anyway shape or form...
That won't stop it happening, people hurt others with monotonous regularity - using terms like justified, deserved etc though, simply remove the responsibility from the guilty party and that is just stupidity beyond belief...
