Over 1,620 people were killed in Islamic terror-linked bombings, shootings, and stabbings during this year’s Muslim holy month of Ramadan, according to a tally by Breitbart News.

Breitbart published an extensive list of attacks that occurred around the world between May 27 and June 24. Most deaths reported from Syria’s civil war were excluded.

While subject to being updated, the tally found triple the number of casualties compared to last year’s Ramadan period, making it one of the deadliest Islamic holy months in modern history. There were 3,351 casualties, including 1,627 deaths, during this year’s Ramadan. Last year, the number of casualties was 1,150 (421 deaths and 729 injuries).

Breitbart noted that most of the victims were Muslims. The Islamic State terrorist group, active in Iraq and Syria as well as other cities around the world, was responsible for much of the deadly violence.
