Welcome to Breitbart News’s running count of worldwide jihadist terrorist attacks during Ramadan 2017. Check back for updates through the end of the Islamic holy month on June 24.
With less than one week left in this year’s holiest month for Muslims, the fatalities at 1,404 have more than tripled the estimated 421 that took place during the entire Ramadan period last year, considered one of the bloodiest in recent memory.
The 2,741 total number of casualties (1,404 murders and 1,337 injuries) have more than doubled the estimated 1,150 (421 deaths and 729 injuries that took place in 2016.
There have been at least 135 deadly incidents in more than 20 mainly Muslim nations during Ramadan this year, which began on May 27 and expected to end on June 24.

In an audio message released last week purporting to originate from the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL), the jihadist group urges its followers and sympathizers to launch attacks in the United States, Europe, Russia, Australia, Iraq, Syria, Iran, and the Philippines during the ongoing Islamic holy month.
Reuters acknowledges that the authenticity of the recording cannot be independently verified, noting that the voice is the same as previous messages purported to come from the ISIS spokesman.
ISIS has issued multiple messages urging jihadists to carry out violent attacks during the holy month of Ramadan.
Consistent with the years since the group surfaced in 2014, ISIS and its affiliates, including Boko Haram, are the top culprit behind deadly incidents during Ramadan this year.
The Taliban, as well as al-Qaeda and its offshoots, have also been involved in the killing and murder of mainly fellow Muslims.
This year’s Ramadan is already one of the bloodiest in recent history, exceeding the deaths that took place during the same period in 2016, considered the deadliest holy month in recent memory.
During Ramadan, the majority of Muslims follow the tradition of abstaining from eating, drinking, smoking, having sex, and other physical needs each day, starting from before the break of dawn until sunset.
However, extremists perceive Ramadan as a time when martyrdom and jihad are especially rewarded in paradise, prompting a spike in the terrorist attacks during the period every year.
Islamic extremist groups encourage martyrdom among their sympathizers and followers, promoting the belief that they will be doubly rewarded if they fatally castigate infidels during Ramadan.
In previous years, the fatalities have included women, children, and members of the Christian minority. This year is no exception.
Although Muslims of all sects make up the majority, there are members of a wide variety of ethnic and religious groups among the victims: Westerners, Christians, Asians, Sunnis, Shiites, and Arabs, among others.
The West has not been immune to the Islamic extremists’ call to massacre during Ramadan.
Breitbart News’ count, gleaned from the Religion of Peace website in coordination with news reports, excludes casualties directly linked to battles between U.S.-led coalition and Iranian- and Russian-backed troops loyal to dictator Bashar al-Assad. The total number of Ramadan deaths and injuries could be higher.

Some dumbass reported that there were something like 300+- slaughters last year during Ramadan. This was a lie. It was much closer to 2,000. I’ve never seen it below something like 1,500 … This is a very slow Ramadan as far as slaughters go.
