Law enforcement officials around the world are on high alert this week as ISIS calls for a surge of civilian attacks during Islam’s “Night of Power,” the holiest day on the Islamic calendar, which this year begins Wednesday evening.

Known in Arabic as “Laylat al-Qadr,” it marks the night during the holy month of Ramadan that Muslims believe the Prophet Muhammad received the first revelations of the Quran.

While the vast majority of Muslims consider the occasion as the best time in the year to pray for blessings and forgiveness, jihadist groups such as ISIS exploit the date to urge brutal acts of violence.

Last year, when the Night of Power fell on July 2, a widely shared message pushing for “calamity everywhere for the nonbelievers,” was delivered by ISIS. And that night there was a surge of deadly terror attacks.

Hmmm. Was there an increase last night? Just a reminder, isis/is/isil/deash should not be confused with the religion of pieces and moose limbs just like the assclown at the ballfield should not be confused with burnee supporters or the kumbyah dementocratic party.

That’s Islam in a nutshell.

“Holiest” night means a night of murder.

OK this explains the large gathering of Muslim males in our neighborhood last night.

How about a nuclear fireworks show over each of the Muslim capitals instead?

So, when the savages run out of their mosks and start shooting up, burning, slicing and chopping humans, the media and the authorities will say “We don’t know the motive”.

There is a collective mental disorder that prevents people from ever putting it all together and saying “You know, the cause of all the violence in the world is Muzzies.”

That’s racist.

(that’s all the media has to say... no, just think... to completely cover up your absolutely correct idea)

I don’t know why this is a surprise. Ramadan is the time of some of the worst Islamic attacks historically. I’ve always thought that Ramadan was a time to terrorize, not a holy time because this is when they kill the most women and children

Night of Power. Is that like the feats of strength in Festivus?

“How about a nuclear fireworks show over each of the Muslim capitals instead?”

A “humanitarian” high altitude air burst EMP strike to take out their cell phones would be one way.

The other way would be more fun, though.

There should be a lot of “accidents” on that “holy” day as the bomb manufacturing facilities in mosques detonate (with plausible deniability).

Caught a glance of a bomb making instructer taking out the entire class of June 2017 yesterday. A distance shot of the smoke pillar rising into the air carrying them to the waiting virgins.
