What is wrong with these people? Have they lost all moral compass, all human compassion, all sense of decency? If this were a sane world, the Washington Post would close its doors in shame for publishing this, and Greg Miller and Souad Mekhennet would be looking for work at the local 7-Eleven (no offense intended to 7-Eleven).
Miller and Mekhennet would have you believe that these murders violated the tenets of Islam, and invoke as evidence the fact that while the murderers professed allegiance to the Islamic State, the Islamic State never circulated the murder video or claimed credit for the murders. The salient passage from the article is this:
But it was the targeting of unarmed women that appears to have been the greatest affront. European officials who have pored over the terror group’s propaganda archives have documented the deaths of 2,070 people in filmed executions between 2015 and 2017, mostly in Syria and Iraq. Only three of those killed were women — either stoned or shot for alleged offenses, their faces hidden in accordance with Islamic strictures.
The Moroccans violated those religious tenets. Ueland and Jespersen were killed in their underwear, their faces, necks and shoulders often in the camera’s view.
Inside Islamic State chat rooms, followers catalogued these failures, though without sympathy for the women killed. “This operation was an individual one by the brothers who are supporters,” one post said. But “they had been warned about disseminating a video without covering the naked bodies of the female prostitute tourists.”
Miller and Mekhennet go on to quote Nico Prucha, “a terrorism expert based in Madrid,” saying: “The Moroccan attack was botched from the rhetorical side to the operation side to the theological side.”
But no evidence has been produced, or can be produced, that these murders were actually botched from “the theological side.” As you can see above, the Islamic State objected to the video because the “female prostitute tourists” were not fully covered, not because it was wrong to kill them. The Qur’an still says “When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks” (47:4), and the killers of these hikers know that very well. Miller and Mekhennet are here doing what the establishment media apparently feels duty bound to do on all possible occasions: make sure that no one thinks ill of Islam, whitewashing the crimes done in its name and in accord with its teachings.
Not only that. For Miller and Mekhennet, the worst aspect of these murders is not the ruined lives of the victims and their loved ones, but the fact that the “far-right” has “exploited” them. They spend a great deal of time smearing and defaming those who pointed out that these murders were in accord with Islamic texts and teachings. Note the quote below, which supposedly comes from an unnamed “far-right figure in Norway”: “It’s God awakening us Germanic men to action. It’s enough now. It’s enough.”
“Germanic men.” That’s right: foes of jihad terror, and those who speak honestly about how Islamic texts incite some believers to violence, are really just Nazis, and decent people should shun them.
The Washington Post has been a shameless propaganda rag and apologist for jihad terror for quite some time, but this is a new low. Close your doors, WaPo: more forthright jihad terror promoters such as Al Jazeera are doing your job better than you are.
“Murder in the Atlas Mountains,” by Greg Miller and Souad Mekhennet, Washington Post, June 21, 2019 (thanks to Vikram):
In a crime apparently intended to impress the Islamic State, two Scandinavian women were brutally slain in Morocco. The killings were seized on by the far right to attack Islam.
MARRAKESH, Morocco — Their screams must have carried for miles in the thin air of the Atlas Mountains, anguished sounds of a terrorist attack that no one was there to hear, see or stop.
Maren Ueland, 28, and Louisa Jespersen, 24, Scandinavian students who revered the outdoors, were descending North Africa’s highest peak in December when they encountered four men searching for Westerners to kill.
The men waited until after nightfall, then approached the women’s tent with knives and misplaced hopes of becoming Islamist heroes. They attacked Ueland, a Norwegian, and her Danish friend, Jespersen, in their sleeping bags, stabbed them until their bodies went limp and severed their heads in a ghastly sequence recorded on a cellphone.
The December 2018 attack, like so many in this age of mass killings and social media, was an act of senseless and performative violence. The killers, poor and uneducated, became absorbed in a violent Islamist universe they saw on the screens of their cellphones, then sought their own place in it. Their overriding aim was to impress the Islamic State, earn the status of soldiers in its apocalyptic struggle and see their own recording distributed across the group’s propaganda platforms.
Reality didn’t follow that script. The targeting of defenseless women and the abysmal quality of the recording managed to violate the standards of a terrorist group not known for having any. The Islamic State did not distribute the video, refused to acknowledge the attack and to this day has ignored the Moroccans’ pledges of loyalty.
The video went viral nonetheless. An attack that had gone unheard and unseen ended up being viewed millions of times by Islamic State supporters who didn’t share the group’s selectivity, by dark-Web bottom dwellers devoted to gore and by the morbidly curious.
The most alarming audience, however, was one that the attackers had not envisioned. Within days, the one-minute, 16-second recording spread rapidly across networks associated with the far-right and white-nationalist movements. Extremists posted gruesome scenes of the women’s deaths on Facebook, Twitter and other platforms alongside condemnations of Islam and calls for a civilizational clash.
“Look at this video of the one girl being decapitated alive,” wrote a far-right figure in Norway as he posted a link to his Twitter account. “It’s God awakening us Germanic men to action. It’s enough now. It’s enough.”
When officials in Norway and Denmark pleaded with the public to stop sharing the video, that effort was denounced by far-right groups as a betrayal of religion and race — censorship of content that revealed the true nature of Islam….
Angemon says

It is so disgusting.
Westman says
“Why has our media become Islamic apologist?” Because they are cowards who want to ride the gravy train; thinking they can get off if it nears the cliff. They listen to Lenin’s Imagine and believe the other Lenin’s socialisrm will get them to that promised land where they can do anything without conflict. They would not endure a broken fingernail to protect the nation.
Islam isn’t going to stand aside and allow the hedonism. It is charged with forbidding others to engage in activities that Islam prohibits. Ahh, to see the Leftist faces when they realize that islam is not tolerant of them.

False dichotomy is a logical fallacy. I suspect that what “bothers” BVC is that you’re a jihadi-enabler accusing others of being jihadi enablers. If not, let’s see: during my years here, the only non-muslim I’ve seen commenting and defending jihad terror groups and jihad-terror enabling states, as well as sates aligned with jihad-terrorism sponsoring states was you. On one hand you ramble on and on about how terrible “the West and the US” are because they deal with Turkey. On the other, you praise Putin’s political mastery when he sucks Erdogan’s dick. On one hand, you ramble about how terrible “the West and the US” are because they deal with Saudi Arabia. On the other hand, you suck Romehini’s dick and defend Russia – whom you’ve presented here as being a Christian nation despite being rife with drug usage, prostitution, abortion, high suicide rates, etc – dealing with Iran, the number one sponsoring state in the world. You accuse “the West and the US” of having created ISIS only to go into full “fingers-in-ears-I-can’t-hear-you” mode when one points out that Iran funded ISIS.
To put it simple: most people here don’t like people like you – double-standarded, terrorist supporting, child-murdering cheering pieces of scum.

Surely Al lah the unmerciful ,islam’s racist,antisemitic,antichristian,misogynistic and chauvinist,scientifically,logically and theologically challenged Arab god,would be offended….
And muhammed{ACFHls,allah cries for his lost soul},islam’s “prophet”{who FAILED the test of a prophet when he- laughably- DIED after being poisoned and who admitted to being a FRAUD al tabari 6;111 and a terrorist}who famously said that the reason the koran says a woman’s testimony is HALF that of a man is due to “the DEFICIENCY of a woman’s mind”.besides,most muslim women go to hell anyway[sahih muslim 241}because they are takfurna(ungrateful}
Ouch muslimas!All that hijab wearing for nothing…
Just as well mekhennet and Noura Erekat did not live in the time of muhammed.
Regarding the silly Erekat:I guess she chooses to ignore the fact that the koran gives FULL PERMISSION for the Jews to be in Israel.
It doesn’t say the same about muslims …
Koran 5:20-26.Israel is the rightful land of the Jews
If that is so then muslims are NOT the rightful tenants of Israel;simple logic,one of those subjects{like Astronomy,linguistics,reproductive biology* and comparative theology} that Al Lah isn’t great at.
What,one wonders, would the muslim pagan Arab god Lah’s 3 godess daughters make of it all

Greg Miller and Souad Mekhennet do not want JIHADISM and ISLAMISM to tarnish the reputation of Islam, even though they are normative parts of Islam and JIHAD itself is the very DEFAULT ACTIVITY of all Muslims according to Sharia law.
The source texts of Islam are very clear that Muslims should conduct jihad REGULARLY.

It’s just a an awful and horrible reality that Islam inspires hate and violence , many times brutal cruel murderous violence , in a large number of the followers of this religion. As seen by the malicious murders of those two young hikers from Scandinavia .
Likewise, Islam promote misogyny to the most heinous extreme , for the two hikers were young females.
Furthermore ,Islam often inspires malice-filled actions towards non-Muslims and even more so towards Westerners who are not Muslims. As revealed by the ruthless and murdering behavior of those Muslims who so vicious as to murder those two young non-Muslim Westerners.
Thus those Washington Post writers need to have a reality check.
David Longfellow says
This whole situation was ALL about Islam, what it stands for, what matters to it and what its followers understand it to be telling them to do.
The left (in the guise of the WaPo) and Islam are bedfellows. Both love violence, hate Christianity, are habitual liars and want to subjugate the rest of the world to their viewpoint by whatever means necessary.
Lydia Church says
Scene 1: Two hikers from Scandinavia go to Morocco to hike around.
Scene 2: islamic terrorists find them and brutally murder them by beheading, for NO reason.
Scene 3: Some groups rightfully call out the obvious evil of this action.
Scene 4: The media then jumps on the groups doing the calling out by saying that this incident was; “seized on by the far right to attack Islam”…!
So it’s like: jihad terrorists murder two innocent women. Okay, no problem.
Righteous citizens call it out as evil. Ugh! Gasp! What? This incident is just being used by that bad far right to ‘attack islam’!
NO! islam attacked these two women! It is good to call out that wrong act of terror and murder, violence and bloodshed! It is good to call out islam for the evil that it is, because it is the criminal here! The women were the victims! We are not ‘attacking islam,’ islam attacked two women! We are right to call out the evils of islam! But they make it look like muslims didn’t do anything wrong, there was no reason to rightfully call them out, and that it was just used as an excuse to ‘attack’ islam as if without cause! And here again we see how the leftist media paints events; nevermind the true victims, but any calling out of islam is seen as ‘bad,’ as ‘an attack,’ and it poses muslims once again as the ‘true’ victim, and the ‘far right’ is portrayed as ‘the villain’ yet again. The silent implication is that there could not possibly be any occasion to rightfully call out muslims and islam on anything, they are automatically ‘innocent,’ even if two tourists from the West, innocent women, are beheaded! What could be worse?!

Washington Post laments that jihad murders of Scandinavian hikers were “seized on by the far right to attack Islam”
……………………….
If you are appalled by the beheading of these peaceful girls then you are “far right” and “attacking Islam”. How sick is this?
And notice that Greg Miller and Souad Mekhennet–no surprise in the latter case–don’t seem to have any actual problem with these girls being murdered.
Further, the claim that this killing was not Islamic because they didn’t force the victims into Burqas first is absurd–firstly, Muslims often ignore Hijab if they are harming those they consider “sluts”–just look at the recent attack on an Iranian woman for not wearing proper Hijab, where the assailants drag the victim into traffic, completely dislodging her Headscarf and pulling her coat up, exposing her legs.
This is even more the case with Infidels. Sex slaves in Muslim countries, in fact, are often forbidden to wear Hijab, and some are even forced to bare their breasts. So, murdering these girls in their underwear is in no way un-Islamic.
Or Else! says
The WaPo et al would have criticized the “far right Viennese” for not opening the gates for the “cold, hungry, oppressed” Ottoman Turks in 1683.

Notice how often these days an Infidel reporter is paired with a Muslim on any story that touches on Islam–no doubt to keep the Kuffar in line should they consider saying something critical of Islam.

celia1000 says
I think ISIS has an image to maintain, steely attacks with no pity, selfless soldiers of jihad, to use terror to force kuffar to submit to Islamic law. And these murderers violated that image by raping the girls first. It’s irrelevant that they were killed in their underwear: they were sleeping in their tent when they were attacked.
I’m sure the four men most directly involved will be hanged. They were playing by the Islamic playbook, as we saw with the thousands of Yazidi women and girls raped and taken as sex slaves. I don’t know how much credit they have gotten for that in their circles.
The girls had been indoctrinated with the creed that Muslims are just like heritage Europeans, with the same ethical code and ingrained sense of kindness and fair play. Obviously such a crime would never have occurred in Norway or in Denmark, so it never entered the girls’ mind that different cultures produce different kinds of people. While the crime was committed by these brutal men, the ultimate blame has be laid at the feet of the European establishment which has thought it appropriate to construct this edifice of lies, I assume hoping that Eurabia would allow them to surpass the power of the US.
Thousands of Moroccans were horrified by the crime, but not because of their religious upbringing, but from Western influence and natural law, which have made them “moderate”. Islam permits and promotes such crimes, because they certainly do have a chilling effect on kuffar hearts and minds. I doubt it would make many Westerners want to submit to Islamic law, but I could be wrong.
This article seems to have been mistaken. In December the timelines published said that the girls had not yet climbed the mountain, but were planning to do so the following day. They could have camped near houses, could have spent the night in someone’s home, or paid a guide to go with them, who would presumably have had a weapon. I don’t know if they camped far away and all alone just out of utter naivety or out of a wish to defy what they knew common sense and common suspicions would dictate. And the girls were killed inside a building, not outside the shack and their tent, as the article said. I don’t know if that shack were big enough to be the location. One of the men has said that he now regrets having killed Louisa, and that may very well be true. From prison, aware of how the world has viewed his crime, and from whatever conscience he may have, how could he not be disgusted and ashamed? But he took her life in a horrific way, and must now be punished for it.
somehistory says
These two have “seized” upon a horrific event where moslims murdered…in a most terrible way…two girls who ventured into the countryside for a hike…in order to vilify those who condemn it and expose ilsam’s barbarity..
They said, “abysmal quality of the recording ” and the “poor and uneducated” murderers were attempting to be “heroes” to the islamic state…who now, according to these two fools, have “standards” not met by the murders and the filming with a phone…and because they didn’t make sex slaves of the two blond women first.
Since they admit that no one was around to see, how do they know what was done to the girls before the killings and filming thereof? And as others have said, they had phones…and knew of the islamic state…so they had some amount of money and “education.”
So, according to these two fools…one a moslim fool and the other a molsim’s tool fool…think it is more important that the murderers just didn’t ***make the grade*** with isis than it is that the two girls were brutally murdered. Astounding…or it would be in another time, before the wild beast of sialm had a “new image” made for itself…an image of wonderfulness that deserves worship and obedience.
If the “far right” are the ones objecting to islam, objecting to these murders, objecting to the numerous and uncountable rapes and murders and terror attacks and false claims of a “phobia”…then the “far right” is the place to be.
There is no **life** without morality, ethics, virtue,and a degree of sanctity for life. One may be breathing, but if one is not looking to improve the lives of others, does not put a high value on life…theirs and others…if one has no moral compass with which to decide what is right and what is wrong, then that one may as well stop breathing as they are not alive anyway.
Furthermore, if that one strives to take the lives of others, to rape and slaughter for the sheer glee of performing those actions, then it is only right and proper for others to condemn that one.
islam commands the latter…to rape and kill for the sheer glee in the performance of the actions. Those who worship the “wild beast” and its image, who worship satan the devil and work his will, should expect nothing less than condemnation for themselves and for their belief system.
If the woman in the photo were by herself in the same places as the two young blond women, the same could , and probably would, happen to her. She is not even wearing the one piece of clothing that might deter the monsters called moslims. Lot of hair and neck showing.
celia1000 says
Islam actually praises and encourages the killing of non-Muslims pretty much at will, to eventually grind us down into submission. The angel Gabriel is said to have promised that beheading brings peace and joy to the heart. Plunder of the enemy is also permitted and encouraged. That was an allusion made (“joy to the heart…” in the title of the Isis video of their burning to death the young Jordanian pilot alive in a cage, even though it was an immolation rather than a beheading. The rapes of these girls disqualified the murders from being accepted as a “heroic” Isis deed, but millions of girls and woman have been raped by Isis, other Muslim groups, and “lone wolves,” and they are permitted by Islam regardless of the pleasure which the criminals took in them.
I think the only non-Muslim who is legally protected from being killed etc. is the one who has entered into a dhimmi treaty and pays the required high jizya tax (which single-handedly supported many Muslim lands for centuries), and even then it was very common for Muslims to violate the terms of the treaty. Maybe those in a land which has agreed to a temporary (not over ten-year) truce with Islamic forces.

It is my theory that reporters and journalists get some kind of reward or benefit when they put Islam in a good light, and that several powerful groups fund this propaganda dissemination but use various names and organizations not naming Islam in the “company name” much like a landlord who owns a multi-story, multi-family building and asks the rental agent to tell tenants to write out their rent checks to a “Limited Liability Corporation with the street address of the property. This way, the landlord gets the rent money into a special conduit that enables him/her to be relieved of a personal tax burden and pays taxes on the business which is subject to different tax brackets and codes.
I wonder how I could investigate my hypothesis to see if there is any truth to it. My feeling is “Follow the money.” I welcome your comments about this.
And my deepest sympathies go out to the families of these 2 innocent young women who were brutally murdered for no reason.
As to the reporters who whitewashed these young women’s murders, they have no professional standards whatsoever. They should leave the business because they are not qualified to report the truth. They are a disgrace to the profession.

I know some journalists, my husband has a degree in journalism, and I have worked in publications,which is related to journalism.
Overall, journalists are more likely to be influenced by “political correctness” than to be directly taking bribes. Of course, employment is often based on toeing the party line. But I imagine relatively few journalists are keeping quite because Muslims are handing them bags of money.

Shameless WashPost did not allow any comments to appear after the article as is customary! I’m sure they feared a backlash from people like me – reasonable people.
Ever since Jeff Bezos took over the Post it went from moderate leftist to extreme leftist and paints those with reasoned, fact-based, logical thinking as enemy “right-wing extremists.” Of course it never uses terms like “Muslim terrorists” and has never broached the fact that Islam’s immutable holy book calls upon and promises to reward its adherents to slay infidels.

I suggest that the left-wing media show us all how it is done by hitting the streets in any of these majority islamic countries. There they can surely get the moderates point of view and pass it on to us. Even when they venture out on the streets of the USA they isolate themselves from the people by isolating themselves in sheep pens. What are these people afraid of?
