RELIGION OF PIECES: Islamic Terrorists Murder 1,639 People In 30 Countries As Ramadan 2017 Came To A Close

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The final fatality tally for jihadi attacks during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan increased to 1,639, primarily fueled by victims who succumbed to their injuries, reveals an updated Breitbart News count of terror incidents during the period.

With a total of 3,343 casualties, including 1,704 injuries, Ramadan 2017 is one of the bloodiest holy months in recent history. The number of deaths this year marked a nearly four-fold increase from the estimated 421 people killed by Islamic extremists last year.

There were nearly 160 terror incidents in about 30 predominantly Muslim countries this year, including one jihadi attack in the United States. Soon after the holiest month for Muslims ended last Saturday, Breitbart News reported that jihadist organizations had killed 1,627 people during Ramadan.

However, after taking into account people who succumbed to their injuries throughout the month and government entities changing the casualty count after Breitbart News initially documented the attacks, this news outlet has determined the final updated tally to be 3,343 casualties (1,639 killed, 1,704 injured).

Islamic terror attacks increased 400% over Ramadan attacks in 2016:

At the start of Ramadan 2017, ISIS had high hopes for a really good death toll. They succeeded by a four hundred percent increase over last year.

The Afghan government updating the casualty tally for the May 31 terror attack that killed at least 150 people and injured more than 300 others had the most significant impact on changing the final count.

Afghan President Ashraf Ghani changed the number of people wounded from at least 460to more than 300, driving the total number of deaths up and injuries down. The May 31 incident, allegedly carried out by the Taliban and al-Qaeda-linked Haqqani Network, is the deadliest attack of Ramadan 2017.

The Pentagon has deemed the Haqqani Network to pose the “greatest threat” to the United States military and its allies in Afghanistan. U.S. officials have accused jihadi sanctuaryPakistan of sheltering the group. Breitbart News’ primarily gleaned its count from the Religion of Peace website in coordination with news reports.

After analyzing every documented Ramadan terror incident, Breitbart News removed two events mentioned by Religion on Peace — May 31 assault in Sinjar and June 6 attack in Mosul, Iraq — because there were no credible news reports to back them.

Moreover, two attacks that occurred on the last day of Ramadan were added to the tally after Breitbart News published the article noting that Islamic terrorists had killed 1,627 people.

Breitbart News’ count excludes casualties directly linked to battles between U.S.-led coalition and Iranian- and Russian-backed troops loyal to dictator Bashar al-Assad. Furthermore, it only includes some of the attacks in Iraq and Syria that involved the death of civilians, mainly women, and children, at the hands of jihadi groups.

News outlets and government officials may update some death tallies from individual attacks that occurred over the last few days of Ramadan as some of the injured victims succumb to their injuries after Breitbart News publishes this report.

The final Ramadan death toll could be higher. Most “Ramadan Rage 2017” victims are Muslims. As in previous years, the fatalities have included women, children, and members of the Christian minority.

In addition to Muslims, there are members of a wide variety of ethnic and religious groups among the victims: Westerners of all ethnicities, Christians, Asians, Sunnis, Shiites, and Arabs, among others.

The West, particularly London, has not been immune to the Ramadan carnage this year. Most Muslims follow the Ramadan 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, Islamic extremists perceive Ramadan as a time when martyrdom and jihad are doubly rewarded in paradise, prompting a spike in the terrorist attacks during the period every year.

History Teaches Us That Wars That Are Won Like WWII End In Surrender, And Wars That Are Not Won End With ‘Peace Talks’ Like The Korean War And Vietnam

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

A nation that will not finish a war has no business starting one, as both Israel and America have done with Iran in Operation Epic Fury under Trump and Hegseth

For all the swagger coming out of Washington, the hard reality is this: if you are really winning, you do not usually find yourself scrambling toward peace talks while the smoke is still rising. Multiple reports today say Vice President JD Vance is set to lead the American delegation into talks with Iran in Pakistan this weekend, even as the ceasefire itself remains shaky and disputes over Lebanon, the Strait of Hormuz, and the very terms of the agreement threaten to blow the whole thing apart. Though they are battered and bruised, the regime in Iran is still standing, still controlling the Strait of Hormuz, and as such have every right to proclaim victory. It will be tough to celebrate our 250th anniversary of America with this black cloud hanging over our heads.

“Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him, Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.” Luke 14:29-30 (KJB)

And that is what makes this whole spectacle so sad and pathetic. Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are speaking the language of triumph while being dragged by events toward the peace table. Hegseth has been out there portraying Trump as a “president of peace,” even while the administration has lurched from threats of devastating force to a hurried two-week ceasefire and now to high-stakes negotiations. That is not the posture of settled victory. That is the posture of leaders trying to control the headline after losing control of the outcome.

America has seen this movie before. Korea did not end in victory, but in an armistice. Vietnam did not end in victory, but in an agreement that papered over defeat long enough for the final collapse to come. In both cases, politicians sold the public on the idea that talks at the table would secure what had not been secured on the battlefield. In both cases, the result was not lasting peace, but unfinished business and national humiliation. That is what happens when leaders start a war without the resolve to finish it.

Now the same poison is back again, only this time it is mixed with branding, ego, and reckless decision-making. Trump’s great weakness has always been his addiction to public image. Everything must be dramatic, everything must be historic, everything must be framed as the greatest show on earth. Pete Hegseth, for all his tough-guy rhetoric, appears cut from the same cloth in this moment: full of chest-thumping declarations, full of boasts, full of victory talk, while the actual facts on the ground say something very different. Iran has not been marched into unconditional surrender. The regional fire has not been put out. The Strait of Hormuz remains a pressure point. Lebanon is still erupting. And yet these men want Americans to clap because they declared success on television.

Public swagger replaced strategic clarity. Boasts replaced discipline. Narrative replaced objective.

That is the reckless part of all this. They overtalked. They oversold. They ran ahead of reality. When leadership becomes more concerned with appearing strong than with thinking clearly, it creates exactly this kind of predicament. Men begin making impulsive declarations they later have to walk back. They draw lines they do not seem prepared to enforce to the finish. They promise outcomes they cannot yet guarantee. Then, when the pressure mounts and the enemy is still standing, they pivot to negotiations and pretend the pivot was the plan all along. But everybody can see it. If you have won, why are you rushing to talks? If the enemy has been broken, why is the ceasefire so fragile? If victory has already been achieved, why are basic terms still being disputed in public? These are not the questions that follow conquest. These are the questions that follow incompetence, miscalculation and drastic overreach.

And let’s be plain about it: peace talks before victory are often just decorated surrenders. They are where the political men who start the wars go to escape the consequences of their own rhetoric. They are where wars launched with thunder are quietly traded for ambiguous formulas, temporary pauses, and face-saving language. The enemy could not win outright, so he waits for the politicians to lose their nerve. Then he takes back at the negotiating table what he could not seize under fire. That is why this moment is so dangerous. The administration is boasting as though the war aims have been accomplished, while the facts suggest something far murkier: a pressured ceasefire, unresolved military and political issues, conflicting interpretations of the deal, and a fresh push for talks that could easily become the mechanism by which unfinished war is rebranded as peacemaking. Even reporting from today notes that Iran and the U.S. are advancing sharply different understandings of what comes next, and that the talks may determine whether hostilities resume or merely pause under a prettier name.

The Bible gives a sobering warning about halfway execution: “Cursed be he that doeth the work of the LORD deceitfully, and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood.” Jeremiah 48:10 (KJB)

That verse is not a license for reckless violence, but it is a sharp warning against doing grave things weakly, deceitfully, or by halves. Once judgment is undertaken, to falter in purpose is to invite ruin. And in national life, that means if leaders commit a nation to war, then lose their nerve before victory is secured, they do not create peace. They create delay. They create instability. They create the staging ground for the next war. In fact, Trump just posted this to Truth Social: ” …In the meantime our great Military is Loading Up and Resting, looking forward, actually, to its next Conquest. AMERICA IS BACK!” The insanity is real and terrifying.

That is what makes the Trump-Hegseth performance so pitiful. They want the applause of victors without bearing the burden of actually securing victory. They want to sound like conquering generals while behaving like political operators boxed in by their own overstatements. They want America to believe that marching toward peace talks is proof of strength, even while the ceasefire wobbles and the enemy still retains leverage. That is not strength, that is managed embarrassment.

A nation that will not finish a war has no business starting one. And a leader who brags about victory while inching toward the negotiating table is not displaying resolve. He is advertising weakness under a banner of strength. Korea showed it. Vietnam showed it. And if this Iran crisis ends the same way, it will be one more chapter in the long American habit of mistaking talk for triumph, and retreat for peace.

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: With Minutes To Go, President Trump Blinked, Gifting Iran With A 2-Week ‘Ceasefire’ Leaving Regime In Place To Fight Again

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

President Trump blinked last night, leave the regime in Iran firmly in place to restock, rearm and fight another day against Israel and the United States

Let’s stop the nonsense right here. The regime is still in place. There was no collapse, no overthrow, no final blow. Tehran survived the storm, retained its ruling structure, and forced the United States into a pause instead of absorbing the annihilating follow-through strike that had been loudly threatened. That is not what defeat looks like. That is what “live to fight another day” looks like. Iran got everything they wanted last night, Trump had them in the crosshairs and let them go. On his Truth Social page, President Trump said “A big day for World Peace! Iran wants it to happen, they’ve had enough!… Likewise, so has everyone else! Just like we are experiencing in the U.S., this could be the Golden Age of the Middle East!!!” TACO Trump strikes again, leaving America noticeably weakened in the eyes of our enemies like Russia And China who now know Trump will back down at the critical moment.

“The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.” Psalm 55:21 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, if 20th-century history teaches us anything about the Middle East and Iran , it is that the regime that has been in place since I graduated high school will do anything, say anything, and pretend to agree to anything to stay in power. Last night, President Trump had the opportunity to end it, once and for all, to eradicate the regime of the Ayatollahs, remove the enriched uranium, and reset the world’s most prolific terror state. But with mere minutes to go until his own deadline was reached, President Trump stepped away and gave Iran everything they needed to keep fighting. According to the UK Daily Mail, Iran is charging $1 million per ship to pass through the strait, something that they are now referring to as the ‘Tehran Tollbooth’. America is talking like it won, but Iran is still ruling Iran, still controlling the Strait of Hormuz, still forcing the world to deal with it, and now possibly collecting massive transit money on top of it. That is not the profile of a regime on its back foot. That is the profile of a regime that took the punch, stayed on its feet, and is already looking for a way to profit from the next round. So yes, from a “fight another day” perspective, Iran won big. It survived. It kept the regime intact. It retained leverage over the world’s energy artery. And if these toll reports are even close to true, then Tehran is now making money off a ceasefire America needed after telling the world the war was already won. It was a black eye for Trump and a bad day for America.

TACO TUESDAY: After Threatening Iran With The Extinction Of Their ‘Whole Civilization’, President Trump Now Agrees To His 8th Meaningless Deadline

TACO Trump Blinks On Iran, Backs Away From War Deadline And Hides Behind Two-Week Ceasefire Brokered At The Last Minute

Donald Trump spent the day talking like a wartime Caesar, threatening Iran with civilizational destruction if Tehran did not submit by his deadline. Then, just one hour before the clock ran out, he did what he so often does when the pressure gets real, he blinked. Multiple outlets reported Tuesday, April 7, 2026, that Trump accepted a two-week ceasefire arrangement tied to diplomacy and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, with Pakistan playing the central mediating role. Don’t get me wrong, I am glad there won’t be nuclear war tonight, I truly am. But I am saddened and embarrassed watching the pusillanimous flip-flopper Trump running his mouth only to make another meaningless deadline.

“A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.” James 1:8 (KJB)

That is not iron resolve, that’s not Churchillian nerve. That is not the conduct of a man who means what he says. That is the now-familiar Trump cycle in full view: issue a threat big enough to shake markets and dominate headlines, pound the table, demand surrender, and then retreat into a “temporary pause” the moment the consequences of his own rhetoric begin to close in. AP reported Trump warning that a “whole civilization will die tonight,” while also noting the administration was pulled toward a two-week diplomatic off-ramp.

And that is exactly why the “TACO Trump” label keeps sticking to him like tar. “TACO” stands for “Trump Always Chickens Out,” a phrase that was coined by Financial Times columnist Robert Armstrong in the tariff context before spreading into the broader political culture. CBS and ABC both traced the acronym to Armstrong and explained its meaning the same way: Trump talks maximum toughness and then backs off before the final collision. What just happened illustrates that beautifully.

Now that same label fits this Iran episode like a glove. Trump wanted the political theater of a final ultimatum. He wanted the optics of a strongman standing on the brink of decisive action. He wanted the world to believe that midnight would bring fire. Instead, midnight brought another extension, another pause, another exit ramp, another reminder that Trump loves the language of confrontation more than the reality of it. The ceasefire was reached only hours before Trump’s own deadline for major military strikes.

Let’s say it plainly: you do not get to spend the afternoon threatening to wipe out a civilization and then spend the evening hiding behind a “double-sided ceasefire” without being called exactly what that looks like. It looks weak. It looks theatrical. It looks like a man addicted to brinkmanship but terrified of the bill coming due. Even AP’s more cautious live coverage still described the moment as Trump pulling back on his threats for two weeks, subject to Iran agreeing to terms.

To be fair on the facts, the surrounding details were still moving fast Tuesday night. Axios framed the ceasefire as agreed; AP emphasized Pakistan’s push for the delay; The Guardian described Trump as suspending the deadline rather than pressing forward immediately. But across those reports, the core point holds steady: Trump did not follow through on the thunder he had just unleashed. He backed away into a two-week pause. This latest Iran ceasefire does not make Trump look like a master strategist. It makes him look like what his critics have been saying all along: loud on the front end, slippery on the back end, and forever trying to pass off retreat as genius. He wanted to look like a lion, but he ended the day looking like TACO Trump once again.
