London and Alexandria bombings and Ramadan

Submitted by Prashant, May 27, 2017 at 12:25

Dear Dr Pipes,

As the local masjid displayed a big banner and following true western traditions told me 'happy Ramadan', I was also reminded that the most recent mass killings by ISIS inspired Islamic soldiers in London and Alexandria almost coincided with Ramadan. There have also been several incidences of mass killings during the month of Ramadan. Should the police forces around the planet be extra careful during the Ramadan month? Should people congregate but more carefully during this time. That will be prudent. Beginning and ending of Ramadan should be on the police calendars all around the world.
