Jihadis were more prolific during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan this year despite the Chinese coronavirus pandemic and the associated lockdowns, carrying out at least 242 attacks, about 30 percent more than the 187 last year.
Ramadan is the most
sacred month of the year for Muslims — the
Prophet Mohammed reportedly said, "When the month of Ramadan starts, the gates of heaven are opened and the gates of hell are closed and the devils are chained." That's funny, if heaven is opened and hell is closed during Ramadan, then why is there so much violence from Islamic jihadis during that time of the year? You would think for something that bills itself as the 'religion of peace' there would be a little more peace. Or any peace at all, but the opposite seems to be true.
"And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren." Genesis 16:12 (KJB)
Nothing slows down the ravaging of Islamic terror, not even a global coronavirus pandemic, you only thought things got quieter but that's only because the biased, crooked mainstream fake news media stopped reporting on it. Religion of Peace? Not by a long shot. But maybe now that Pope Francis has signed a covenant with them to create the
One World Religion of Chrislam, things need to appear a little quieter than usual.
Ramadan Rage: 2020 Logs 30% More Jihadist Attacks than 2019 Despite Coronavirus
FROM BREITBART NEWS: Islamic terrorists carried out an average of about eight attacks per day this year, compared to an average of six daily assaults in 2019. Three weeks into Ramadan this year, it
appeared the number of deaths and injuries would exceed those from the same period last year, but the attacks became less lethal towards the end.
Jihadis killed at least 867 people and injured 813 others across 20 countries during the holy month this year. On average, jihadis killed 29 people and maimed 27 others each day during Ramadan this year.
Last year, however, the holy month was
slightly bloodier, resulting in at least 911 fatalities (30 per day) and 1,006 injuries (34 per day). The 1,680 casualties this year represent a drop of over ten percent from the 1,917 last year.
Jihadis have been responsible for nearly 10,000 casualties during the past five Ramadans combined: 2020 (867 killed; 813 wounded),
2019 (911 killed; 1,006 injured),
2018 (841 killed; 1,014 wounded),
2017 (1,639 killed; 1,704 wounded), and
2016 (421 killed; 729 wounded). The Afghan Taliban remains the deadliest (423 deaths; 379 injuries) group during Ramadan this year, again followed by the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) and its affiliates (228 killed; 258 wounded).
However, ISIS was behind Ramadan’s bloodiest attack, killing 32 people and wounding 133 others during a funeral in Afghanistan on May 12. Primarily fueled by several ISIS attacks, May 12 became the bloodiest day (79 fatalities; 165 injuries) of the holy month.
