These deaths are being hikacked by the cultists as an attack on liberals. This is THE EXACT definition of paltering.
"Danghara district, about 60 miles south of the country’s capital, Dushanbe, on a picturesque mountain road that has been popular with Western bicyclists for its dramatic and remote scenery in a region close to the border with Afghanistan."
These people went into a hostile area to prove people are inherently not evil. They have a world view, according to their blog, that is liberal to the core. They were run over by a car and stabbed to death. I'm sorry these facts dont align with the narrative you desire.
NO THAT IS NOT WHAT HAPPENED. look how fast this devolved into fake news, Christ. This is a popular tourist attraction in a non isis controlled area.
Did you see the small print at the bottom of the article in the OP? Update: This article originally said the bikers rode through ISIS territory. They were biking through an area of Tajikistan which is "near ISIS territory" according to FAAAAKEEEE NEEEWWWSSSSS
Update: This article originally said the bikers rode through ISIS territory. They were biking through an area of Tajikistan which is "near ISIS territory" according to They were riding through a popular tourist area. They weren't trying to prove a point by riding through hostile areas.
LOL Your arguement that they weren't actually in ISIS controlled territory absolves the irony? "I went for a walk in Chicagos Austin neighborhood to prove gang members aren't dangerous. I was murdered by gang members in Oak Park.. so, I guess gang members are not dangerous or evil? What are you talking about man?
What a gross misrepresentation of the facts involved here solely for the sake of trying to score political points then it backfires because all the claims were missing stated. Disgusting.
How is this my problem that you can not critically analyze anything? An alt right news source using liberals with a positive world view, murdered by ISIS, then paltering and saying see all liberals live in a fantasy world.
How many chemical attacks since the Candyass Eunich's "Big Red Line"? How many since Pres."Has a Pair" Trump BOMBED THEIR ASSES? Hilarious that you delude this to be a point you can win...
While on a trip to prove people are not evil, that is according to them just a story created by US media. Hiw you can not see the irony is astounding. My guess, you dont want to.
Gee, "near" ISIS territory. Well, maybe someone should let these terrorists know they are not allowed to attack tourists just outside of their designated terrorist held territory. Maybe they could put up some signs and maybe even a road block/toll way with a sign: "Now entering ISIS held territory, please expect to be knifed, kidnapped or killed. Entrance fee $20 American dollars. Thank you!" "Near" just changes the entire story from top to bottom, especially if the terrorists were not actually operating in that area but were merely passing through to get some supplies or some fresh drinks.
Oh...so ISIS killing them "outside" the "official boundaries" makes them UNBUTCHERED and ALIVE AGAIN.
This article was clearly written with the intention to attack liberals fairy tale lifestyle by suggesting they went biking through hostile territory to prove humans are all friendly.
