Seven years after ISIS killed her son, Diane Foley met with one of his killers. Somehow, she was able to find the humanity in her son’s murderer. ISIS held journalist James Foley hostage for 2 years before publicly executing him in 2014. After her son’s murder, Diane Foley started The Foley Foundation, working to free American hostages held abroad, teach journalist safety, and inspire people to act with moral courage. I asked Diane how she found the moral courage to meet an ISIS terrorist and see him as a human being. If Diane could find the grace to connect with her son’s murderer, the rest of us can find the moral courage to see the good in those with whom we so vehemently disagree. This is… A Bit of Optimism.
