“Holy” Month of Ramadan Registers an Upsurge in Jihad Terror Attacks
DON'T BELIEVE THE LIES AND DECEPTION MUSLIMS TELL YOU; THEY ARE REQUIRED BY ALLAH & THE KORAN TO DO SO WHEN DEALING WITH SO-CALLED "UNBELIEVERS"

Muslims worldwide are celebrating Eid al-Fitr as I write this article. Many Muslims, joined by their liberal well-wishers, are also cursing Israel and mourning over “Palestine” in light of the escalating Israel-Palestine conflict.
Eid, a joyous celebration in the Muslim world, follows a month-long period of fasting (one can eat only from sunset to sunrise during this time) known as Ramadan. During Ramadan, which Muslims consider to be a holy month, we are told that Muslims are expected to renew and redouble their efforts to follow the teachings of Islam by refraining from human vices including envy, anger, greed, lust and so on. This sounds like it could provide some relief not just for the Muslims, but for the whole world.
However, there is always an upsurge in jihad terror activities and violence by Islamic groups during this time of the year, incited by exploitation of the religious sentiments of Muslims. This results in riots, bloodshed, and anarchy worldwide. The latest Israel-Gaza conflict is one of the premier examples of this. Still, one may argue that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a recurring crisis and so it would not be fair to link it with Ramadan. So let’s look at other instances.
The Taliban, just one of the hundreds of Islamic terror groups that are operating around the world, has carried out fifteen jihad suicide bombings and around 200 blasts claiming over 250 lives during the holy month of Ramadan this year. The number of deadly attacks could have risen to higher than 1000 had security forces not averted 800 similar attacks and arrested an equal number of jihad terrorists in the region, according to Afghan President Ashraf Ghani.
More than 60 people died in a recent jihad attack in Afghanistan. Most of these casualties were female students who were killed in the horrendous explosion, which took place outside their school in Dasht-e-Barchi, Kabul. The authorities suspect that the Taliban had a hand in these blasts, but the jihad terror outfit has denied any involvement.
During Ramadan last year, the maternity ward of Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF, Doctors Without Borders) Afghan’s wing at Dasht-e-Barchi was the target of a gun attack that killed fifteen new mothers or mothers-to-be. Pregnant women were systematically gunned down; five of them were already in labor and could have given birth within minutes.
The violence is not limited to Afghanistan. 43 innocent people were butchered during the holy month in Kashmir in 2017, making it one of the deadliest Ramadans in the valley in recent times. The dead include six policemen, including an on-duty Deputy Superintendent of Police, who was brutally lynched and stoned to death outside the Jamia Masjid in Srinagar.
The state of Gujarat, which made headlines for communal clashes in 2002, suffered its share of Ramadan violence this year as well. A violent mob attacked members of the police force with stones at the Ali Masjid in Kapadvanj. The violence broke out on April 20, when the police asked them not to gather to offer Namaz (Islamic prayers) in light of the Covid crisis. The enraged mob torched a car and two bicycles, and then proceeded toward the local police station to hurl stones at it. However, India should be thankful for escaping being bombed during Ramadan, unlike its neighbor Afghanistan.
Iraq recorded 260 coordinated jihad terrorist attacks by the Islamic State (ISIS) during 2020. These attacks killed or wounded 426 people in the country, as reported by The Times. Iraq has always been a target of jihadis during the month of Ramadan. The 2016 Baghdad bombing, executed by an Islamic State jihad suicide bomber who detonated an explosives-laden truck in the Karrada neighborhood, claimed 292 lives during the holy month. A similar ISIS attack in Baghdad left 27 people dead and 115 severely injured during Ramadan in 2017. The Islamic State’s hatred for Iraq’s Shi’ite majority, which the jihadis consider to be heretics, triggers these deadly attacks almost every year during Ramadan. In 2019, the death toll was eight, with fifteen more wounded when a jihad suicide bomber blew himself up at the bustling Jamila market.
There were over 50 jihad terrorist attacks within and outside the Muslim world during Ramadan 2016. Even the cradle of Islam, Saudi Arabia, was not spared. In Jordan, five people became victims of a deadly jihad terrorist attack on Baqaa’s general security office. The second attack killed or injured 21 military and security personnel. There were four consecutive attacks on the Lebanese town of Al-Qaa. A jihad bombing at the Ataturk Airport in Istanbul had 45 casualties and left several others with serious injuries.
The infamous Orlando nightclub shooting also took place during Ramadan. Omar Mateen decided that Ramadan was the ideal time to shoot 43 innocent people while injuring 53 others in order to “avenge” American airstrikes in Iraq and Syria; he did this after researching about terrorism extensively on the internet.
The next target of Islamic jihad violence during the holy month was a 42-year-old French police commander, Jean-Baptiste Salvaing, and his wife. They were taken hostage and slaughtered in their home in Les Mureaux, Paris by Islamic State jihadis. The gruesome massacre took place just two days after the Orlando bombings.
Why would anyone want to engage in murder and mayhem during their designated month of fasting followed by feasting?“Ramadan is a month of holy war and death for Allah. It is a month for fighting the enemies of Allah and God’s messenger, the Jews and their American facilitators,” said Al-Qaeda after jihad suicide bomber Mohamad Hassan El-Husseini took down a passenger bus at the Burgas Airport, Bulgaria. The explosion killed the bus driver and five Israeli tourists, and injured 32 others.
