Any thoughts on how this years holy month of Ramadan will play out? Last year the religion of peace partook of bombings at the International Red Cross in Bagdad, housing compounds in Riyadh Saudi Arabia, synagogues in Turkey, and a host of others, all in the name of Allah. This years US election will almost coincide with Ramadan, as will the anniversary of the symbolic first jihad in 624 - the Battle of Badr, led by Mohammed himself. During the month, clerics can easily persuade "ground pounders" towards self sacrifice operations to serve/save the religion, with a promise of "no sufferig in the grave" - just an express flight to "see the face of Allah". As I do with all world wide religious observations, my abacus is poised to count the plethora of peaceful acts which exhalt said religion. (Biting sarcasm)
