Tonight, at sunset, the month-long Islamic festival of Ramadan starts and with it will probably come a rise in Islamic savagery such as bombings, shootings, vehicular attacks and mass murder. It’s not referred to by those who are critical of Islam as the ‘festival of skipping lunch and killing people’ for nothing. The culture of Islam is pretty brutal and nasty during the rest of the year but at Ramadan, when acts of Jihad are considered to be especially favourable to Allah the blood-soaked deity of Islam, then the violence gets worse.

In previous years, Ramadan has been particularly dangerous with large numbers of suicide attacks and other acts of violence taking place during this period. Although the number of Ramadan related terror attacks rises and falls as years go by, it needs to be remembered that almost no other faith group has a death toll due to violence associated with major festivals. We do not see for example a rise in Jewish violence at Passover and neither do we see similar violence from Christians at Christmas or Easter.

In 2016 Islamic jihadists killed 421 people and injured 729 in 15 different countries this is down from the spectacular body count of 2015 Ramadan which was 2988 dead bodies from 314 terror attacks. However, although the 2016 death toll for Ramadan was down from the previous year, it is still a horrific level of people murdered or maimed.

I suspect that Ramadan 2017 will also have attached to it a similar body count as have previous years and it may even end up being worse than in previous years as the Islamic savages appear to have got the killing spree off early with an attack on Coptic Christians in Egypt. I think we need to be on our guard, especially in light of recent events in the United Kingdom, against Islamic terror and report any suspicious Muslims, or Islam related activity, to the police and the security services. We must never forget that this is Ramadan, the time when some Muslims think it laudable to kill for Allah. If we remember that fact, then we may be able to head off any potential Islamic atrocities that the savages may have planned for us.

Aren’t we lucky that Islam is a ‘religion of peace’ just imagine how much more violent and nasty it would be if it were a not such a faith?
