    Honestly, some probably were treated humanely. Others, including men, were probably brutally raped and tortured. Hostages are still at the mercy of their kidnappers and all remaining hostages should come home safely.

      Even though Sharia law requires hostage takers to be kind to hostages, it’s not necessarily true that everyone follows Sharia. Same reason we have corrupt cops and soldiers committing war crimes.

      Those aren’t the policy laid out by the organization, but it’s still the responsibility of the organization to make sure it doesn’t happen.
