    When we first went into Afghanistan after Osama bin Laden there were a bunch of pundits declaring that we had to cease all operations because of Ramadan who in turn were countered by a few historians pointing out that Ramadan is frequently the time Muslims have initiated hostilities.

        Mohammed launched an attack in the "sacred months" according to the Koran, so why wouldn't his followers do the same? Rhetorical question btw.

          Most notably the Battle of Badr. In modern times Egypt and Syria launched a surprise attack against Israel during Ramadan, beginning the October 1973 War - also known as the Yom Kippur War, because it took place on Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish calendar. IIRC many large battles during the Iran-Iraq war were also fought during Ramadan and terrorist activities increase then.

          Still, MSM sources like Atlantic magazine keep insisting Ramadan is a time for peace, even chastising Muslim extremists for deliberately ratcheting up the violence during that time

            Well, now that Atlantic magazine has given them a good talking to I'm sure they'll straighten right up.
            Actually YOU put Trump in the White House. He wouldn't have gotten 1% of the vote if it wasn't for the widespread spiritual and cultural devastation caused by progressive policies. There's no "this country" left with your immigration policies, your "allies" are worthless and even more suicidal than you are and democracy is a sick joke that I hope nobody ever thinks about repeating when the current order collapses. - Darth_Executor striking a conciliatory note in Civics 101
