“During Ramadan, both fasting and acts of charity are incumbent upon Muslims who are able to do so, in order to gain a clearer appreciation of human suffering.” — BD News
“The month of 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.” — Qaedat al-Jihad
“Taliban Mount Attacks After Deal, Killing 17 During Ramadan,” by Eltaf Najafizada, Bloomberg, May 3, 2020:
Afghan Taliban insurgents killed 17 civilians and wounded 49 during the first week of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, further chipping away at their pledge to reduce violence following a peace deal with the U.S.
The fatalities occurred from April 24, Javid Faisal, a spokesman for the National Security Council of Afghanistan, said on Twitter. Most of the casualties were caused by roadside bombs and direct fire, he added.
The peace agreement signed in February was meant to pave the way for the withdrawal of U.S. and NATO forces from Afghanistan within 14 months. But while attacks on the U.S.-led coalition have ceased, the Taliban almost immediately began mounting assaults on Afghan rural areas.
Separate data from the National Security Council show that 337 civilians have been killed, 452 wounded and 164 abducted in the two months since the signing. “Taliban have failed to live up to their commitment to remain peaceful. They increased their campaign of terror immediately and harmed 100s of Afghan men, women and children,” Faisal tweeted….
The government has so far released 650 militants, most recently on Saturday. The Taliban freed 112 Afghan soldiers and policemen as of May 1. The U.S. has criticized the slow process and warned it could cause more losses.
“Both the Taliban and the government need to accelerate efforts to release prisoners and lower violence, which is the fastest means to intra-Afghan negotiations and a comprehensive permanent ceasefire,” the U.S. special envoy for Afghan reconciliation, Zalmay Khalilzad, said on Twitter on Saturday.
Don’t hold your breath, Zalmay.

Ramadan is the month of JIHAD for spreading Islam.
A past Mufti of Egypt, Ali Goma said, “Throughout the history of Islamic civilization, RAMADAN has been not only a month of worship and of growing close to Allah the Almighty, but also a month of ACTION and JIHAD aimed at SPREADING this great religion.
In Muslim tradition, RAMADAN is also perceived as a month of JIHAD and MARTYRDOM, a month in which Allah grants military VICTORIES to His believers.”
So, there it is: Ramadan is a month of terrorism.
Who is foolish enough to ‘celebrate’ the month of terrorism with Pope Francis?

“Ramadan in Afghanistan: Taliban murders 17 civilians and wounds 49 during first week of holy month”
Well, in a calculated response, maybe “The Good Guys” should even things up by killing 49 taliban and merely wounding 17 taliban “freedom fighters! Uh huh.

Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

Walter Sieruk says
Now the Taliban has just murdered seventeen civilians and wounded many more. This should be of no surprise to any well informed person. For he or she would know that the Taliban have a vicious malicious and murderous mindset.
Before the Taliban had carried out their jihad attack they had to scheme with malice and forethought to commit that affront violent deadly jihad attack which is a sin unto God and a heinous terror/crime against humans.
This hideous evil that the Taliban thought of and then engage in is a strong reflection of the information provided in the Bible. Which in Proverbs 15:26 which reads “The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord.” [N.K.J.V.]

I see that Ramadan is off to a rousing start, as usual.
God, I hate Islam.
Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
Who wrote that headline calling Ramadan a “holy month”? The month of Ramadan may be “a month of holy war and death for Allah”, but it is not a holy month. The 12-month
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_calendar
has four holy months, the 1st, 7th, 11th, and 12th months, none of which is Ramadan. See

How much holier can you get in islam than to go out and murder in Allahs name. I think there is a point system and you get more points for killing during Ramadan. How in the hell you can call islam a “religion” is beyond me, it is the most vile violent and discriminatory politically motivated cult that there can be. Muhammad makes Jim Jones look like a saint, Muhammad is responsible for the murder and rape of millions of men women and children. Why any government recognizes Islam as a legit religion is beyond reason.
