RELIGION OF PIECES: Islamic Terrorists Murder 1,639 People In 30 Countries As Ramadan 2017 Came To A Close
The final fatality tally for jihadi attacks during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan increased to 1,639, primarily fueled by victims who died later.
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.

Donald Trump
Economic D-Day Or Another TACO Tuesday? Trump Threatens To Isolate Iran While Tehran Bets The President Will Once Again Abandon His Own Deadline
TACO Trump Says Economic D-Day Will Completely Isolate Iran, But His Seven Abandoned Military Ultimatums Reveal Why Tehran May Not Believe A Word Of It This Time Around
Trump’s declaration of “Economic D-Day” against Iran is designed to sound final, crushing and historically unprecedented. But after six months of abandoned deadlines, cancelled attacks and endlessly extended ultimatums, the question is no longer whether Trump can threaten Iran. The question is whether anyone in Tehran still believes him. This is where TACO—“Trump Always Chickens Out”—becomes the unavoidable lens through which his announcement must be examined.
“They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off.” Hosea 8:4 (KJB)
The United States unquestionably possesses the financial power to devastate Iran. Washington can sanction Iranian banks, seize assets, blacklist tankers, close exchange houses, expose front companies and exclude foreign institutions from the dollar-based financial system. Treasury is already attacking Iran’s clandestine banking and oil-payment networks under Operation Economic Fury. U.S. Treasury enforcement action But Trump is promising something much larger. He says that any country, financial institution, business, airport or government agency providing Iran with an economic lifeline will face “tremendous economic consequences.” That amounts to an ultimatum directed not merely at Iran, but at the entire world: trade with Tehran and America will punish you.
That is an enormous threat. It is also precisely the kind of threat Trump has repeatedly failed to enforce once the financial and political consequences begin coming home.
The TACO Playbook
Since the Iran war began, Trump’s pattern has become painfully predictable:
- Announce an apocalyptic consequence.
- Establish a supposedly final deadline.
- Cause oil markets and regional governments to panic.
- Receive telephone calls from frightened Gulf rulers.
- Claim that secret negotiations are making tremendous progress.
- Postpone or cancel the promised attack.
- Announce an even larger threat several weeks later.
- On March 21, Trump gave Iran 48 hours to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or America would “obliterate” its power plants. Two days later, he postponed the attack for five days.
When those five days expired, Trump granted Iran another ten days. In April, Trump threatened “Power Plant Day” and “Bridge Day,” warned that the entire country could be destroyed in a single night and declared that “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Hours later, the supposedly final attack was cancelled and replaced with a ceasefire.
- In May, Trump warned that there would be “nothing left” of Iran and said a major attack was being prepared. The following day, it was postponed.
- In July, Trump promised a “massive attack” that would be “bigger than ever before.” Days later, he returned to negotiations.
At the beginning of August, Trump cancelled another major assault against Iranian energy infrastructure because the “perimeters” of an agreement had supposedly been reached. Iran then denied that negotiations were even scheduled. Trump subsequently called the situation Iran’s “last chance before decapitation.” Iran was not decapitated. Instead, the president has now exchanged military Armageddon for “Economic D-Day.” ABC News documented at least seven threatened attacks that Trump subsequently postponed or cancelled. Every time Trump establishes a red line and then moves it, Tehran learns that the red line was never real.
China Is The Real Test
The success or failure of “Economic D-Day” will be determined in Beijing, not Tehran. Iran survives through Chinese oil purchases, shadow tankers, shell companies, financial intermediaries and disguised payment networks. If Trump is serious, he will have to sanction major Chinese banks, refiners, shipping companies and businesses. He will have to accept Chinese retaliation, disrupted supply chains, falling markets, higher oil prices and increased gasoline prices for Americans. That is where the TACO clock begins ticking.
Targeting a few Iranian exchange houses and obscure front companies will generate impressive Treasury press releases, but it will not completely isolate Iran. If China continues purchasing Iranian oil while Trump issues exemptions, waivers and negotiating extensions, then “Economic D-Day” will become Economic Delay. Trump loves maximum-pressure announcements. He is considerably less enthusiastic about enduring maximum-pressure consequences. The public declaration supplied no detailed list of countries being targeted, no implementation timetable and no explanation of precisely what penalties will be imposed. Reporting on the announcement says its language suggests secondary sanctions—but suggesting punishment and imposing punishment are two very different things.
Clouds And Wind Without Rain
Trump’s strategy assumes that theatrical unpredictability creates leverage, and initially, it can. But unpredictability becomes predictable when every cycle ends with another postponement. Iran’s leaders understand that Trump watches oil prices, stock markets and domestic polling. They know that a modest diplomatic signal can provide him with an excuse to cancel an attack and proclaim that his negotiating genius has produced another historic breakthrough. That means Iran does not necessarily need to defeat the United States. It merely needs to survive Trump’s deadlines until TACO strikes again.
The King James Bible describes boasting unsupported by performance:
“Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind without rain.” Proverbs 25:14 (KJB)
That is the danger surrounding “Economic D-Day.” America possesses the financial storm capable of crushing Iran, but Trump has repeatedly filled the sky with thunder only to deliver another extension. “Economic D-Day” may prove to be everything Trump promises. But after seven cancelled attacks and months of movable deadlines, Iran has every reason to ignore the thunder, watch the markets and wait for TACO Trump to chicken out again.

The East Arkansas Regional Unit Is An Intimidating Facilty Housing Over 1,600 Inmates Who Desperately Need To Receive The Preserved Word Of God
The East Arkansas Regional Unit Houses Some Serious Inmates Who Have An Overwhelming Need To Receive The Preserved Word Of God
Seen from above, the East Arkansas Regional Unit is an imposing fortress of concrete, steel fencing and razor wire, housing more than 1,600 men across minimum, medium and maximum security classifications. Many of those men are serving long sentences for serious crimes, and we neither excuse their sins nor dismiss the suffering of their victims. But behind every prison number is a living soul who will one day stand before Almighty God, and incarceration does not place anyone beyond the reach of the gospel of the grace of God. To date, we’ve received word back from many chaplains placing the number of souls saved through this ministry at up over a thousand. Praise the Lord for that!
“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Romans 10:17 (KJB)
The state can confine a man’s body, but it cannot imprison the word of God. Steel doors, guard towers and electrified fences are powerless to stop the Holy Spirit from using the Scriptures to convict a sinner and point him to Jesus Christ. Every King James Bible placed inside this prison and every facility we send to, is a missionary that never sleeps, never compromises and never stops preaching the truth. Chaplain Ray reached out to us wanting to know if we could supply him with Bibles, and I very happily assured him we would. Bibles Behind Bars is a lifeline for many chaplains and pastors who have no other place to turn to for Bibles, books and scripture portions. Come help us!

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: The Rise Of Christian Deliverance Ministries Has Turned Demons, Curses And Manifestations Into A Thriving Business Model
The Rise Of Christian Deliverance Ministries Has Turned Demons, Curses And Manifestations Into A Movement—But Is It Biblical Warfare Or A Charismatic Counterfeit?
The explosion of so-called Christian Deliverance Ministries has created an entire charismatic industry built around the idea that born-again believers can remain inhabited by demons, bound by generational curses and dependent upon specially “anointed” apostles and prophets to set them free. From Kathryn Krick and Greg Locke to Prophet GeorDavie and countless social-media imitators, the formula is remarkably similar: dramatic manifestations, screaming, shaking, falling, claims of hidden spirits, supernatural impartations and repeated deliverance sessions presented as evidence that God is moving. But spectacle is not Scripture, and manifestation is not doctrine. The apostle Paul never once instructs a member of the Body of Christ to locate a demon of lust, rejection, anger or addiction and have it cast out. Instead, Paul tells the saved believer that he has been sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, that his body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, and that God “hath delivered us from the power of darkness.” That creates a massive problem for a movement whose entire ministry model depends upon convincing Christians that darkness is still living inside them.
“Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:” Colossians 1:13 (KJB)
On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, the more closely you compare modern Deliverance Ministry theology with Pauline doctrine, the more the whole system begins to unravel. Paul does not tell Christians to cast out their flesh; he tells them to mortify it. He does not tell Christians to seek an apostle with a greater anointing; he tells them to put on the whole armour of God and stand against the wiles of the Devil. He does not teach generational demon bondage, spiritual “legal rights,” endless impartations or recurring deliverance appointments. What he does warn about are “seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils,” false apostles and religious counterfeits masquerading as ministers of righteousness. Satan is real, devils are real and spiritual warfare is absolutely real—but none of that gives us permission to invent doctrine God never gave the Church. Before accepting the screaming, the manifestations and the testimonies, there remains one devastating question every Deliverance Minister must answer from the King James Bible: Show me where Paul taught the Church to do this. Today we tell you everything you need to know about the modern-day Deliverance Movement.

- “Jesus. I am now 64 years old and never in all the years I’ve been a Christian was I able to grow in the Lord as much as I have in the last past year. All because of our blessed brother’s work Geoffrey Grider who as the bravery of standing fast forward without fear of claiming the truth of God by the power of his love in Jesus Christ. May God bless you abundantly to the end my dear brother… ROMANS: 8: 36,37,38” Mireille Anderson
- “I met you at the car dealership earlier this year. We spoke briefly, then you handed me a card and told me to check out the website. You left. A few minutes later, you returned to tell me not to forget to look up the website. I told you…” I already did. I already subscribed.” In that short time we spoke, I experienced from you…a total stranger…peace, joy, kindness, gentleness, compassion, and love. I am convinced that God sent you to share the Good News that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior. For that, and for the work you are doing for the Kingdom of God, I say…Thank you and God Bless You.” Sonia Merced

- I just want to thank you for the teachings you give every Sunday night on radio. You are such a blessing to me. I absolutely love your way of teaching the scriptures. I don’t have a church where I can have fellowship and teaching, so you have been my teacher for many months now. Thanks God you are there for all of us who have no church to go to. I pray that the Lord will bless you abundantly in your ministry, and your loved ones too. You are such a blessing to me, and many others, in these last days before the rapture. Thank you so much Geoffrey, from the bottom of my heart. May the Lord keep you, until He comes back for us. You are in my prayers.” Donald Godin
- “Thank you for the work you are doing brother. Your page and your testimony were a blessing to me this morning as I came across it for the first time. Thank you for the reality of your testimony and what God has done for you in introducing you to Jesus our Lord. God has brought me, in salvation, to Himself as well, through His love and mercy and grace in salvation. How can we praise Him enough? How can we not share this good news!?
