Father of American Captive on Foley Foundation Capitulation

As noted earlier, the James W. Foley Legacy Foundation cowardly caved to bullying from CNN’s British-Iranian Christiane Amanpour and others in the media to pull an award from Mike Pompeo that he had earned by freeing Americans held abroad. Let’s see how the father of a young woman held by ISIS feels about this:

Carl Mueller’s daughter, Kayla Mueller, was a young Christian woman from Prescott, Arizona, who “was drawn to alleviate the suffering of Syrian refugees,” according to her family. … Kayla was kidnapped on Aug. 4, 2013 by ISIS militants, who ambushed her vehicle as she left a Doctors Without Borders hospital in Aleppo. For 18 months, she was held hostage and reportedly abused personally by ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

Kayla Mueller reportedly refused to convert to Islam, even defending her Christian faith to terrorists, whereas countless others through the centuries have yielded to Muslim coercion. She died at age 26, evidently in ISIS custody, although the actual cause of death is unknown.

[Carl] Mueller was so angered by the Freedom Awards Dinner that he “literally got up and left” after he “suffered through [keynote speaker Christiane Amanpour’s] little speech.”

Lamented Mueller,

“It’s typical when a foundation gets as large as the Foley Foundation, and it’s very sad that it cowers down and bows down to the pressure from the left media. I find that very disturbing.”

He even had to wonder whether the Foley Foundation would support a conservative reporter taken captive abroad.

To placate media leftists, the award Pompeo had earned was given to an Obama era diplomat Brett McGurk instead. Yet Mueller confirms that the Trump Administration has shown much more concern for Americans held abroad and their families than did the Obama Administration.
