The article doesn’t explain why, but it is likely that this shepherd rejected the Islamic State, and thus was considered an apostate, subject to the death penalty for apostasy. And “when you meet the unbelievers, strike necks” (Qur’an 47:4).
“Tunisia militants behead shepherd near Algeria border,” Reuters, December 20, 2020:
TUNIS (Reuters) -Islamist militants kidnapped and beheaded a young shepherd in mountains in Tunisia near the border with Algeria on Sunday, security sources and residents said.
Troops found the body of Okba Dhouibi after he had been seized by militants, the sources said.
Prime Minister Hichem Mechichi said that act would not go unpunished.

ISIS has turned to increase its activities in Africa where Muslims are more fanatical and less educated. It will fail. France will drop Foreign Legion troops in to fight for its former colonies.
Six million African Muslims are leaving Islam every year. By attacking apostates from Islam in Africa, the attrition rate will only increase as even more Muslims become disgusted with this violent, bigoted, misogynistic death cult.

It is strange how this ISIS is still active.

How is this strange? We were able to destroy the territorial “Caliphate”, not the ideology of Islam.

This is a religion? What kind of person wants to follow a religion that teaches that murdering your neighbor or family members because they don’t believe or follow your religious choice is required.
