A young American couple was killed by ISIS last month while on a cycling trip around the world to prove ‘humans are kind.’Jay Austin and Lauren Geoghegan, who were both in their late 20s, last year quit their office jobs in Washington, DC, to embark on the journey.

Austin, a vegan who worked for the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, and Geoghegan, a vegetarian who worked in the Georgetown University admissions office, decided that they’re were wasting their lives working.

The couple documented their year-long journey on ​Instagram and on a ​joint blog. They shared “the openheartedness they wanted to embody and the acts of kindness reciprocated by strangers.”

Austin wrote in one post;

“You read the papers and you’re led to believe that the world is a big, scary place,”

“People, the narrative goes, are not to be trusted. People are bad. People are evil.”

“I don’t buy it, evil is a make-believe concept we’ve invented to deal with the complexities of fellow humans holding values and beliefs and perspectives different than our own… By and large, humans are kind. Self-interested sometimes, myopic sometimes, but kind. Generous and wonderful and kind.”

However, Austin and Geoghegan’s trip came to a tragic and gruesome end when they got to Tajikistan, a country with a known terrorist presence. They were riding their bikes through the country on July 29 when a car rammed them, ​​according to CBS News.

Five men got out of the car and stabbed the couple to death along with two other cyclists, one from Switzerland and the other from the Netherlands.

Two days later, ISIS released a video showing the same men sitting in front of the black ISIS flag. They looked at the camera and vowed to kill “disbelievers,” ​according to The New York Times.

So bad....

Atleast der died believing in something. R.I.P heroes

Ok let me pray.
God I thank you for the gift of sense.,even if my own starts to decline while aging, please also enhance that of my woman, so she will always remind me if my own blows out of proportion.
How can two adults married, decided to dump their sense at home?. So they don't listen nor watch the news on CNN. oooh!!! maybe they think news is a make believe movie.
Even BMC painting Buhari on nairaland with half-sense will not even near sambisa as we speak, even with lai Mohammed technically defeated lie syndrome.

I saw their story on YouTube. Of all places to ride bike it's isis territory. Imagine leaving their jobs in Washington DC to ride bicycle. Opportunities comes to foolish people who don't know what to do with it but eludes those who are desperately seeking it.

The world is truly wicked .

They've made their point, the world would have been a better place without Islam. RIP.

well they've been show how kindful the world is

undercover agents thinking that these mad extremists are dumb.... that would be as stoopid as entering a lion cage at the zoo hoping NOT to die. ARRANT NONSENSE!

They re surely undercover agents in disguise.

Don't be a HERO!

Stay tuned for a clinical analysis of the actions of village people in the life of the couple.
