Why would there be more fights during Ramadan than in other times?
“Ramadan is not a month of laziness but rather a month of activity, of effort, and of hard work, and as it also was in the life of the Prophet, a month of jihad, conquest, and victory.” — Palestinian Authority Supreme Sharia Judge Mahmoud Al-Habbash
“Ramadan is a month of holy war and death for Allah. It is a month for fighting the enemies of Allah and God’s messenger, the Jews and their American facilitators.” — Qaedat al-Jihad
“Ramadan is the pious month of ‘Jihad-o-Qital’ (Jihad and killing). Those who attain martyrdom while waging Jihad, doors of heaven remain open.” — Maulana Bashir Ahmad Khaki
“Montpellier: tensions and minor stab wounds in the middle of Ramadan,” translated from “Montpellier : tensions et blessés légers à l’arme blanche en plein ramadan,” by Jean-Marc Aubert, Actu, March 26, 2023 (thanks to L.):
In the middle of Ramadan, tensions are noted in the districts of Mosson and Plan Cabanes, in Montpellier. This Sunday afternoon, two stabbing victims were rescued.
What happened around 4 p.m. in a street in the city of Mosson-la Paillade? A violent brawl broke out between several individuals for an as yet unknown motive, the national police investigation barely beginning, but a knife was pulled out and two young people from the city were stabbed. Fortunately, no vital organ was affected and they were admitted to the emergency room of Lapeyronie hospital, slightly injured.
According to our information, they should leave the emergency room quickly and be heard by the investigators. In general, they observe omerta…
Is there a direct link with the strong tensions that have been reported since Thursday? Ramadan began on March 23 and lasts a month. “Many incidents have been punctuating Ramadan for four days, both at La Mosson and at Plan Cabanes, in particular on the Cours Gambetta, with fights between gangs from the neighborhoods,” a police source reported this Sunday to Metropolitan.
“We are not informed of all this violence, but the phenomenon is not new, since each year, during Ramadan, the fights are numerous, serious and less serious, and when there are no injuries, when the teams intervene, everything is deserted and calm and the few witnesses have seen nothing,” adds this source.
Last year, municipal police patrols were present, in particular at Mosson-la Paillade to quickly repress these tensions, which had made it possible to avoid tragedies. This is a matter of concern to be addressed this Monday during the large weekly meeting bringing together all the police and gendarmerie services, in the Hérault prefecture.

choice of motives: fighting over the biggest hunk of fatty, greasy meat or fighting over the pleasure of killing another for their false god.

Yes, it’s amazing. So much talk of being weakened from their sacrifice to the point of being unable to work. And yet here they are, boiling over with hatred and aggression, fists and knives swinging, finding the energy to send people to the ER. Seems contradictory; so unlike islam. /s
somehistory says
their belief system should be the word “lies” instead of submission. It’s not peace, it’s not sacrifice (slicing, dicing, raping and murdering of others is not making a sacrifice), and they are not wanting to just “live and let live,” etc.
It’s sickening.

France: ‘Each year, during Ramadan, the fights are numerous’
……………………………………..
Gee–you mean Ramadan isn’t like Easter or Passover or Christmas? I don’t remember these holidays being violent…
Hoi Polloi says
But. But. Frances tells us ramavan is of supreme importance to Christians. Bombs, spewing hatred, and driving over pedestrians aren’t the same as celebrating God’s Son’s time on earth with hymns, family, introspection, candy, gifts, and decorations?? Frances leads sheep astray??? Can’t be. /s
You would be a better pope by far, GI, than Frances.

It’s the same as Christians at Christmas and Easter, where we all go out and riot and fight? Maybe this is the difference between a religion and a cult.
Chatillon says
Yep. Lent and Advent both entail a genuine chnge in diet for many Christians, both in caloric intake and kind of foods taken. It is not merely a change in meal times. Yet brawling is strangely absent during these times. Maybe we’re doing it wrong?

And the governments of Western nations shield Big Mo’s barbarians from criticism, much less the thrashings they – like other adult miscreants – deserve. Why?
