“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
“Terrorists in Sinai increase attacks during Ramadan,” Al-Monitor, May 7, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
CAIRO — Attacks against the Egyptian army in the restive northern Sinai Peninsula often occur during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
Egyptian army spokesman Col. Tamer al-Rifai said in a statement April 30 that an improvised explosive device (IED) targeted a military vehicle near the city of Bir al-Abd in northern Sinai, killing and wounding 10 soldiers, including one officer and one noncommissioned officer. Rifai noted that the Egyptian army’s operation against terrorist members in Sinai is ongoing, so as to preserve the country’s security and stability.
The following day, on May 1, the Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack. Rifai announced on the same day that the Egyptian army carried out a military raid on a small farm in northern Sinai, which resulted in the killing of two highly dangerous terrorists. The army found during the raid multiple weapons, a radio device and ammunition.
Khaled Okasha, head of the Egyptian Center for Strategic Studies, told Al-Monitor over the phone that terrorist elements in Sinai have always chosen the month of Ramadan — more precisely the fasting time — to conduct terrorist attacks.
Okasha explained that the terrorists attack when the soldiers and officers are fasting or are breaking the fast (iftar), since their alertness would be relatively low.
He listed two attacks that took place during Ramadan: the August 2012 attack that killed 16 Egyptian soldiers and officers in Sinai near the border with Israel, and a similar attack on Aug. 19, 2013, that killed 25 recruits.
Okasha added that Ramadan 10 (Oct. 6, 1973) is a symbol of the victory over Israel in the 1973 Arab-Israeli war, which the terrorist groups seek to erase from the Egyptian mind. Yet, he said, they will not succeed in turning this victory day into defeat, in the face of the Egyptian people’s steadfastness and determination….

It is the inverse of Christianity across all it’s teachings. With Christians, the greatest command is to love God with all your heart & soul and your neighbor as yourself, With islam, it is destroy your neighbor or make him convert. Jihad is the highest honor.

the only reason that pious muslims attack muslim soldiers serving a muslim government is because said government does not enforce sharia completely; thus, according to the ulema, they are “hypocrites” and need to be killed.
islam is a poisonous death cult welded to a gang “culture,” and in no way is it a civilization (nor has it ever been in the past). instead, it is a parasitic organization that will completely destroy any real civilization until all of humanity is reduced to starving peasants (who will also be gang-bangers whenever they get the chance).
