‘Ramadan – Month of Jihad’
by Bassam Tawil, Gatestone Institute:
Ramadan Will Not Stop Hamas From Killing Jews.
International mediators and world leaders, including US President Joe Biden, are hoping to secure a ceasefire deal between Israel and the Iran-backed Hamas terror group before the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, which starts on March 10.
On March 5, Biden warned of potential problems without a ceasefire deal by Ramadan. “There’s got to be a ceasefire because Ramadan – if we get into circumstances where this continues to Ramadan, Israel and Jerusalem could be very, very dangerous,” he told reporters in Washington.
Such statements are undoubtedly based on the extremely false assumption that Muslims do not engage in wars and armed conflicts during the month of fasting. In fact, the opposite is true. As the New York Times reported “It is widely believed that the rewards earned for noble acts are greater during Ramadan….”
“In the holy month of Ramadan,” according to fatwa 1566/10013/L=1431, “the reward of virtues is increased.”
Uninformed Western statements also ignore that Hamas and other Palestinian terror groups have never hesitated to use Jewish holidays to wage war, carry out terrorist attacks and murder Jews, including October 7, 2023, which was the Jewish Sabbath and the Simchat Torah holiday — not to mention the launch of the Yom Kippur War by Egypt and Syria.
Hamas and other Palestinian terror groups have long been using Ramadan to carry out terrorist attacks against Israel.
