The holy month of Ramadan is on pace to surpass the bloodiest Radaman in the modern history of Ramadans: last year.
Islam’s holiest month of fasting and prayer began May 26. Already, there have been at least 70 deadly terrorists attacks, leaving 950 dead and more than 1,000 wounded.
And it’s only been 14 days. Ramadan this year runs until June 24.
Happy Ramadan.
While Islamic terror attacks happen all year round, they spike during the holy month. The Middle East Media Research Institute says martyrdom is “doubly rewarded” during Ramadan, and killing infidels is always a wonderful thing.
“The commandment of jihad, which is of supreme importance at all times, assumes even greater importance during this holy month and gains precedence over all other commandments. … On Ramadan Allah grants fighters special strength, despite — or rather by virtue of — their fasting. Those who gain martyrdom during the month of Ramadan are doubly rewarded in Paradise,” the institute says.
The Religion of Peace website, which keeps track of Islamic terror attacks, says in just the last 30 days, there have been 193 attacks in 30 countries, in which 1,786 people were killed and 1,828 injured.
Below is the full list from the website, listed by date, country, city, number killed, number injured and a brief description.
