OSLO/RABAT (Reuters) - Moroccan police have arrested nine more people in an investigation into the murder of two Scandinavian female tourists by suspected Islamic State militants, authorities said on Friday.
Four suspects were already under arrest over the killing of Louisa Vesterager Jespersen, 24, from Denmark, and Maren Ueland, 28, from Norway, whose bodies were found on Monday in the Atlas Mountains with knife wounds to the neck.

Yeah video is authentic, but should be removed from the internet out of respect to the families. I don't think ISIS officially claimed this, but they are responsible either way after their continued calls for random people to attack/kidnap/murder foreigners. And these 4 low iq sociopaths heeded the call, and kidnapped the girls, also read raped them before killing them.
I really can't explain to you or understand the rational of these sociopaths. Same reason I can't understand why Mexican cartels execute random civilians to intimidate people or their other brutal methods of killings. However, no one in Muslim world should even thought of killing foreigners or anybody for that matter when it has nothing to do with the battlefield. Only reason weapons should ever be used in a war or battlefield. These sociopaths and extremists think its a cultural war and target anybody from the West, Japan, Russia or whatever other cases. There needs to be reform in education/religious preaching that does not dehumanize nonbelievers. The problem is they look down on nonbelievers or think they are permitted to commit abuses against them.
I see too many comments often by general Arab public after some kind of mass shooting or something else in the West where people just don't care or think its justified in some cases or wish for more carnage upon them. This is bad for us and is something we must take seriously. This kind of mentality means too many are just going by their own thoughts and lacking an ethical compass or ignoring the Islamic Aqeedah, let alone ignore God's attributes/characters and what he represents. Hint, to all the retards out there in our community, we are supposed to represent God's attributes on earth. And go read what his 99 names are, and look at the sky and contemplate nature and the Universe, he is a Great Lord with the best attributes, and we learn justice, fairness, kindness, good manners , ethics, and everything else from him.
We are not supposed to think like thugs or disregard the 'two wrongs don't make a right' notion. This is insane and this incident has really frustrated me, and caused me great disappoint in the Ummah and it's retarded misbehaving adherents. I don't want to get stressed out about this anymore so I will leave the rest to God and make prayers that guides us back on the right path.

To add on, this falls squarely on the governments and Muslim scholars. Some of these scholars and governments don't think it's urgent to act against ISIS sympathizers because they are counter influence against the Muslim Brotherhood. But, more importantly , they have no idea how to teach people religion. These dictators like to keep people uneducated, especially about Islam, otherwise people would start demanding their rights and calling them out for their hypocrisy.
Now look at the Prophet's(SAW) time. He lived in a city which was ruled by local clans. There were no foreign people there, or hardly any. It was not what we know as a nation state today. The Caliphates were sort of nation states, and you were not allowed to attack visitors or foreign residents at all. The Prophet did fight his own some members of his own clan in the battlefield. And if he won, did not execute the male captives. Keep in mind back then, captives are very different than we think of today. Back then the city was hardly populated, a few dozen people or around a hundred could make a very big difference. So you had to make sure the captives converted otherwise they will just seek to strike back in middle of night while everyone was sleeping.
There were no homes with locks back then, only tents that people slept in. So anyone could certainly decide to kill all followers of your religion in the night time while everyone is asleep. So in some rare cases male combatant captives were to convert or risk not having protection. In one case, regarding a Jewish tribe, they broke their trust and the Prophet let their own guy judge them(who was helping the Muslims) and he judged them by the Torah laws which was execution of male captives. Females combatants are never supposed to be executed, let alone civilians or male civilians, or most of the time even male combatants were spared.
In today's world, it is very different, global population is through the roof. There is no reason to execute captives, and as Muslims we are supposed to follow international war laws which are definitely good and ethical and don't go against our religion. There is no threat from captive combatants, you just detain them until they are to be freed or swapped in a prisoner deal like everyone else. Islam is not under any threat, Muslims population is very big. It's not like the Prophet's time when there were only around 60 Muslims who were paranoid about surviving. Foreigners and visitors in modern Muslim nation states are to be secure from any attacks.
But, how many Muslims overseas can work their rational and logic to realize these things? Not enough that's forsure. And it's not possible to educate all those people with college grade education, because those countries are poor and not enough people can afford education. So scholars are required to make extra hard effort in teaching Islam properly, and encouraging people to use rational and logic, which doesn't contradict Islam.
