Every Ramadan, the U.S., Israel and various non-Muslim countries are warned to refrain from any military actions against Muslim terrorists because that would be “deeply offensive” to Muslims worldwide.

However, Muslims killing non-Muslims or other Muslims over Ramadan is just fine.

Currently the death toll from fighting between the Turkish-backed former Al Qaeda affiliate HTS, which took over Syria, and Alawites linked to the former Iran-backed regime, along with assorted others, including Christians, swept up in the killings, has surpassed over 1,000 people.

Supposedly most of the dead are ‘civilians’, but considering similar lies told about conflicts in Iraq, Gaza and Afghanistan, there’s no way to really know. Many of the players appear to be foreign Jihadis brought in by HTS and who have taken over key parts of the government.

Al Jazeera is cheering on the Jihadis (unsurprisingly since it’s an arm of Qatar, a state sponsor of the Muslim Brotherhood and many of its associated terror groups) while other media outlets are more skeptical.

In any case, it’s the farthest from a peaceful Ramadan, but there really is no such as a peaceful Ramadan anyway. The ‘spirit of the season’ within Islam tends toward violence, not peacefulness.
