The BREXIT referendum vote takes place on Thursday. Coincidentally,
If ever there was a date to be remembered and commemorated in Islam, its the 17th of Ramadan. This year it falls on Thursday, June 23rd, beginning Wednesday evening at sundown.
This date holds great military and spiritual significance within Islam, as it was on this day that the greatest and most significant battle in Islamic history took place: the Battle and Victory of Badr in 624 AD (about 150 miles south of Medina), in which 313 Muslims defeated 1,000 non-Muslims from the Koresh tribe of Mecca who just wanted to return home safely from Syria with their trade caravans.
This battle marked the first significant military victory for Islam, which solidified Mohammeds position as ruler of the first Islamic State in Medina.
It was a spiritual victory as well. The Koran (8:11-18) discusses how Allah sent blessings to guide and purify his Muslim warriors in preparation for battle. However, Allah also sent thousands of angels to help his warriors win by making their hearts more firm to Allahs command to kill unbelievers, and by removing all uncertainty and fear within them. It was also the time when Mohammed mandated the killing of captives in battle.
Dates are significant for jihadists. The 17th of Ramadan is a date that Westerners should become familiar with, and take heed. Jihadists are ramping up attacks against the West during the Islamic military month of Ramadan, especially now that the caliphate has been re-established.
The 17th of Ramadan is a date jihadists hold very close to the heart, a date they memorialize .and wouldnt think twice about reliving it in order to inflict more horrific carnage upon unbelievers.

1. The 1973 Arab-Israeli War (the Yom Kippur War referred to by Jews, and the Ramadan War referred to by Muslim Arabs) began on the 17th 9th of Ramadan. This was an error on my part (9th, not 17th).
However, last year, Islamic terror attacks were actually being plotted for the 17th of Ramadan, coinciding with July 4th (U.S. Independence Day), and they were thwarted. See links here.
The Egyptians code-named their surprise attack on Israel as Operation Badr occurring on the holiest day in Judaism, Yom Kippur.
2. Its not only those days that marked defeat and humiliation in Islamic history that jihadists choose to inflict carnage (such as September 11th, when Islamic armies were defeated at the gates of Vienna in 1683, and in 1697 when they were defeated at Belgrade), but days that marked huge victory and mass carnage of infidels as well, such as the 17th of Ramadan.
Beware everyday with these nut jobs.
Don’t stay home in England on election day. . Free your country from paying for GREECE— Return to your sovereignty. Free BRITAIN!!
BTW you let em in!!idiots.
The immigration policy of England goes way back. It is all based on people from British colonies allowed easy access.
Beware the Ides of March.
The US Markets rallied today because the latest polls indicate Brexit will fail.
Tomorrow is a full moon and a summer solstice co-incidence. The media told me so and to watch for something terrible to happen. I’m skeered to deeth.
The citizens did not let them in, other than as provided by the fact their government has easily let in their former colonists. Nor have our own citizens let in the ones who are invading us now.
It is the power elite who are the idiots.
Excellent post.
THE EU failed quite some time ago but nobody has the cajones to tell the rest of the nations. About all Brittania rules anymore is the airwaves but re-establishing themselves as a soverign nation could be an important step in the right direction. Borders, culture, (and what was the other one?)
Yes, I know how to spell sovereign.
Thank you for your kind words!
