Islamic jihadis hate tourism. Tourism is Western, un-Islamic, and often involves drinking. That could be behind the choice of venue here. Or this may simply be an announcement to the new government that the Islamic State (ISIS) is a force to be reckoned with in Tunisia.
“Tunisia: Islamic State group claims Sousse knife attack,” BBC, September 7, 2020:
Seven suspects have been detained after the knife attack in Sousse
The Islamic State group (IS) says its fighters carried out Sunday’s attack in Tunisia that saw one security officer killed and another injured.
Three of the attackers were shot dead, authorities say, and were wearing clothes bearing IS slogans.
Seven other suspects were detained.
The militants sent out a written statement by Telegram messenger app but gave no evidence to support their claim they were behind the attack on the coastal tourist town of Sousse.
Some 43 people were questioned, National Guard spokesman Houcem Eddine Jebabli reportedly told private station Radio Shems.
Among them was “the wife of one of the assailants, who described her husband as a ‘martyr’ during the interrogation,” Mr Jebabli is quoted as saying.
n 2015 Sousse was the scene of one of Tunisia’s worst attacks , when 38 people, most of them British tourists, were killed by a gunman.
This latest incident came two days after a new government was sworn in….

Pure Christianity, in its fullest form, does not involve any terrorism.
Pure Hinduism, in its fullest form, does not involve any terrorism.
Pure Buddhism, in its fullest form, does not involve any terrorism.
And so on with so many other religions.
But Islam is a virtual guarantee, in its fullest form, of limitless terrorism.
As here illustrated per this article.
You know, I think the time is way overdue to describe adhering to Islam as a form of mental illness. And I want to be crystal clear here that this should not include in any way exculpation of so-called peaceful Muslims, who only by being “lazy Muslims” give cover to the enormous sickness, terror and monstrosity which is the Islamic faith.
No Muslim should be harmed simply because they are a Muslim. But EVERY Muslim should be held to account PRECISELY because they are a Muslim. Much as is the case with those who adhere to secular totalitarian ideologies like Nazism or Marxism.

I don’t know. Running over people with a truck or walking across the street to shoot a little 5-year old boy in the head for riding his bicycle in your yard might come in ahead of that.

The Qu ‘ran instructs devote Muslims in 9:123. ” O you who believe ! Fight those of the disbelieves who are close to you , and let them find in you …” Stabbing a person who a knife who is a “disbeliever” is very effective way of showing harshness.
Islam :what a brutal,cruel violent bloody deadly religion is truly is.
