ISIS spokesman Adnani called for Ramadan attacks...

From an oldie but goody: From 10/28/2001: DEBATE: Ramadan fixation Why should the war in Afghanistan stop during the holy month of Ramadan for terrorists?


But assume for a moment that man cannot kill man in a holy period. By that token, how bloodless have the past Ramadans been?

Recorded history suggests that Prophet Muhammad fought to reclaim Mecca during the Ramadan in 624. Sallah eddine al-Ayoubi defeated the Crusaders in the 1100s during Ramadan. In modern times, the Syrian and Egyptian armies backed by Arab oil wealth attacked Israel on 6 October 1973 in the smack middle of Ramadan.

Iran and Iraq fought a terrible war for eight years through eight Ramadans. Saddam Hussein offered a ceasefire during the 1981 Ramadan to regroup his forces and Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini rejected it to prevent it. During the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan, the Mujahideen launched their worst attacks during Ramadan.

Anti-government Islamic rebels in Algeria called for increasing attacks during Ramadan in 1995 as reaffirmation of their faith in the creed. And, while the Northern Alliance respected cessation or reduction of hostilities during Ramadan, the Taliban has been its most brutal violator.


And for the crass Democrat exploitation of Ramadan, I give you my post later in the thread:


Two words: Bill Clinton.

IIRC, this Ramadan thing didn't become an issue until Bill Clinton used it as an excuse to hold off bombing Iraq in 1998. See the following links: RAMADAN AND THE TIMING OF THE STRIKE and Full Text of the President's Televised Speech from the San Francisco Chronicle. Somehow, this has become de facto policy.

Also, if attacking during Ramadan was such a big offense to the Muslim people, why didn't Clinton feel the same way about Christians when he snatched Elian Gonzales during the Easter weekend the following spring?

Just as a heads up...since the beach goers were mainly British and European....might be worth noting that Cameron and 12 to 15 other European Nations have ‘refused to allow African refugees’ into their country from Italy's overflow...which numbers 40,000.......

...not to mention an additional 900 Illegals from mostly African nations which were going over Britains border Wednesday, in just one day...and that's just those caught.

This might in in retaliation for Britains refusal.

Bottom line....you play in Islamic sandbox's you're sstting yourself up to get hurt or die.
