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.

The Three Musketeers Of Islam: Saudi Arabia, Turkey And Pakistan Are Building A Military Alliance That Will Soon Find Itself Standing Against Israel And Jerusalem

The Three Musketeers Of Islam: Saudi Arabia, Turkey And Pakistan Are Building A Military Alliance That Will Soon Find Itself Standing Against Israel And Jerusalem

The Telegraph has dubbed the emerging partnership between Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan “The Three Musketeers”, invoking the famous slogan “all for one, one for all,” and there is something almost darkly humorous about the comparison. On the surface, this is being presented as another strategic defense arrangement designed to strengthen regional security in an increasingly unstable world. But when you look at the three nations involved, the military power they represent, their relationship to the Islamic world, and their individual attitudes toward the Jewish state, it becomes increasingly difficult to imagine that Israel will not eventually become one of the primary objects of this alliance.

“For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.” Psalm 83:2 (KJB)

Saudi Arabia brings staggering financial power, enormous influence over the global energy markets and, perhaps most significantly, its position as guardian of Mecca and Medina, the two holiest cities in Islam. Turkey brings one of the largest and most capable military forces in the Muslim world, a rapidly expanding defense industry, advanced drones and missile technology, and a government under Recep Tayyip Erdoğan that has become increasingly hostile toward Israel. Pakistan brings a massive standing army and something that neither Saudi Arabia nor Turkey presently possesses: nuclear weapons. When you combine Saudi money, Turkish military capability and Pakistani nuclear power inside a developing Islamic security structure, you are no longer talking about a meaningless diplomatic photo opportunity. You are looking at the beginnings of a military bloc that has the potential to become enormously consequential, and prophetically deadly.

The leaders involved may insist today that their partnership is defensive, that it is not directed against any particular country and that its purpose is merely to protect their mutual interests. That is precisely the sort of language governments use when military alliances are being assembled. Alliances are rarely formed by announcing on the first day who the eventual enemy will be. Instead, nations construct the framework, establish military cooperation, conduct joint exercises, coordinate intelligence, share weapons technology and build the political relationships necessary for collective action. Then a crisis comes along and reveals what the structure was really capable of becoming. In the Middle East, the crisis that eventually forces everyone to choose a side has a remarkable way of coming back to the same place over and over again: Israel and Jerusalem.

Turkey has already traveled a considerable distance down that road. Erdoğan has spent years positioning himself as one of the loudest defenders of the Palestinian cause while his government’s relationship with Israel has deteriorated dramatically. Pakistan has never recognized the State of Israel at all, and opposition to Israel remains deeply embedded in its political and religious establishment. Saudi Arabia is the most fascinating member of this emerging trio because the kingdom has spent years appearing to move closer to possible normalization with Israel while simultaneously attempting to preserve its leadership position in the Islamic world. The Abraham Accords opened the possibility of an entirely new Middle Eastern security architecture centered around normalization with the Jewish state, and for years Saudi Arabia has been viewed as the ultimate prize of that process. Now Riyadh is simultaneously drawing closer militarily to Turkey and nuclear-armed Pakistan.

That tension cannot continue indefinitely, and Saudi Arabia cannot permanently occupy two geopolitical worlds if those worlds eventually collide. It can pursue commercial cooperation and diplomatic engagement with Israel while regional conditions remain relatively stable, but when the next major confrontation erupts over Gaza, Jerusalem, the Temple Mount, Iran, Lebanon, Syria or some crisis that has not yet appeared on the horizon, Riyadh may find itself forced to decide where its deepest loyalties actually reside. Saudi Arabia is not simply another Arab nation. It occupies a unique position within Islam itself, and the pressure upon the kingdom to stand with the Muslim world against Israel during a sufficiently explosive regional crisis would be tremendous.

That is why I believe the eventual direction of these “Three Musketeers” isn’t overly difficult to see. Turkey is already openly antagonistic toward Israel, Pakistan refuses even to recognize Israel’s existence, and Saudi Arabia is binding itself more closely to both countries militarily. Whatever cordial diplomatic language accompanies the arrangement today, this is a coalition being constructed from nations whose long-term interests and religious identity place them on a collision course with the Jewish state.

This is also where we have to rightly divide the prophetic scriptures and avoid one of the most common errors in modern prophecy teaching. This is not Ezekiel 38. Ezekiel 38 does not describe some Russian, Turkish, Iranian or Muslim coalition attacking modern-day Israel before the Tribulation or during the Church Age. The battle in Ezekiel 38 takes place after the thousand-year reign of Jesus Christ, when Satan is loosed from his prison and goes out to deceive the nations once again, exactly as Revelation 20:7–9 describes. Israel at that time is completely regathered and dwelling safely in unwalled villages without bars or gates because the Prince of Peace Himself has been ruling the earth from Jerusalem for a thousand years. Trying to squeeze today’s Middle Eastern alliances into Ezekiel 38 completely destroys the biblical timeline.

Ezekiel 39 is another matter entirely. Ezekiel 39 describes the great slaughter connected with the Battle of Armageddon at the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, corresponding with the scene presented in Revelation 19. The fowls and beasts being summoned to feast upon the slain, the enormous burial operation lasting seven months, the cleansing of the land and the seven years of burning the weapons all belong on the front side of the Millennium, not at the end of it. Ezekiel 39 and Revelation 19 belong together; Ezekiel 38 and Revelation 20 belong together. Those are two entirely different wars separated by at least one thousand years, and confusing them creates an enormous amount of unnecessary prophetic confusion. Understanding that distinction actually makes the present Saudi-Turkish-Pakistani alliance more interesting, not less. The Bible clearly shows that before Jesus Christ returns at the Second Advent, the nations of this world will be increasingly consumed with the controversy surrounding Israel and Jerusalem. The present-day rearrangement of military alliances throughout the Middle East is part of the world being prepared for the events that will ultimately culminate in the Time of Jacob’s Trouble and the Battle of Armageddon described in Revelation 19 and Ezekiel 39.

“And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.” Zechariah 12:3 (KJB)

There is the destination toward which the nations are moving. Jerusalem becomes the burdensome stone, and the nations eventually gather themselves against it. Bible prophecy has already shown us the ultimate disposition of the Gentile nations toward Jerusalem, and therefore we should pay very close attention when powerful Islamic countries begin organizing themselves into new military structures capable of acting collectively.

Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan are three very different nations with different political systems, strategic interests and regional priorities, yet Islam provides them with a powerful common identity and Israel provides them with an increasingly obvious common point of tension. Saudi Arabia possesses the money and religious prestige, Turkey possesses tremendous conventional military capability, and Pakistan possesses the Islamic world’s nuclear arsenal. Put those things together and you have the makings of a bloc that could exert tremendous pressure upon Israel when circumstances demand it.

For Saudi Arabia, that moment may ultimately involve choosing between continued rapprochement with Israel through the Abraham Accords and solidarity with an Islamic military bloc built around Ankara and Islamabad. I do not believe Saudi Arabia will ultimately choose Israel when that decision becomes unavoidable. Whatever temporary normalization arrangements may emerge along the way, the prophetic trajectory of the Middle East is not toward the nations embracing Jerusalem and the Jewish people. It is toward increasing pressure, increasing isolation and eventually the gathering of the nations against the land God gave to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

The Telegraph can call them the Three Musketeers and make the story sound almost whimsical, but there is nothing whimsical about an alliance connecting Saudi Arabia, Turkey and nuclear-armed Pakistan. These are three heavyweight Islamic powers creating a framework for collective military action at a moment when the Middle East is being rapidly rearranged and Israel is becoming increasingly isolated. I believe that sooner rather than later, the same leaders who today insist that this new arrangement is aimed at no particular country will find themselves confronted with the Israel question, and when that happens, there should be very little doubt which direction this alliance will move. The military architecture is being constructed now, the crisis that activates it will come later. When it does, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan will not be standing shoulder to shoulder in defense of the Jewish state. They will be standing on the other side as the Bible so clearly declares.

The Trump Superstore Is Closing Because The People Have Stopped Coming, And It’s The Perfect Metaphor For His Rapidly Collapsing MAGA Presidency

As Trump’s Poll Numbers Collapse And MAGA Voters Walk Away, The Shuttering Trump Superstore Becomes The Perfect Metaphor For A Presidency Built On Broken Promises

Sometimes a single photograph tells the entire story. Standing beside Interstate 40 in Tennessee is a giant red banner announcing that the Trump Superstore is “GOING OUT OF BUSINESS,” with everything marked down 50 percent. It is more than the closing of another roadside novelty shop, far from it. It’s the Trump presidency in one brutally honest picture. Our 16th president Abraham Lincoln is credited with saying “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time”. Trump’s ‘moment in the sun’ appears to be darkening into night, and that’s bad news for the American people as our national ship becomes rudderless.

“Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.” Psalm 146:3 (KJB)

For two years, the Trump Superstore operated as a roadside shrine to the MAGA movement, overflowing with Trump hats, Trump flags, Trump shirts, Trump statues and seemingly every imaginable product capable of carrying the Trump name. During the movement’s high-water mark, people were reportedly lined up outside the door. Today, the merchandise is sitting unwanted on the shelves while the owner desperately attempts to liquidate it.

Owner Bill Hays finally admitted that the store is closing because of a “lack of business.” His employee was even more direct: “We’re not busy anymore.” He described Trump’s popularity as “dwindling, dwindling, dwindling.” That isn’t some fake news Democratic propaganda or liberal media speculation. That assessment came from inside the Trump Superstore itself. The Trump brand is now on clearance, and that makes this store the perfect metaphor for the rapidly collapsing Trump presidency.

The latest Reuters/Ipsos polling places Trump’s approval rating at just 33 percent, with 64 percent disapproving. That is the lowest rating of his current presidency and ties the lowest Ipsos rating of his first term. He returned to Washington with nearly half the country approving of him; now only one-third remains. Even Republican support is cracking: recent Economist/YouGov polling placed his approval among Republicans at 79 percent, down 12 points from January 2025, while those who “strongly approve” have fallen from 68 percent to 48 percent.  Those numbers are not collapsing because Americans suddenly developed an aversion to red hats. They are collapsing because millions of people who voted for Trump are discovering that slogans do not pay electric bills, campaign rallies do not fill grocery carts, and promises of prosperity do not lower the price displayed on the gasoline pump.

As of August 18, the national average for regular gasoline is approximately $4.07 per gallon—nearly 93 cents higher than one year ago.

Grocery prices remain painfully elevated as well. The latest Bureau of Labor Statistics report shows food-at-home prices rising another 2.7 percent over the previous year, with fruits and vegetables up 5.1 percent and nonalcoholic beverages up 4.1 percent. Overall consumer prices are 3.4 percent higher.  AP-NORC found that 41 percent of American adults are extremely or very concerned about affording groceries, while most households report changing how they shop—buying generic products, abandoning certain items and cutting restaurant spending simply to cover basic necessities. That is the political reality behind the empty Trump Superstore.

MAGA voters were promised lower prices, cheap energy, restored prosperity and an end to endless foreign wars. Instead, they received four-dollar gasoline, stubbornly expensive groceries, another widening Middle Eastern conflict and a president who increasingly seems unable—or unwilling—to understand why his own supporters are angry. People did not buy Trump merchandise merely because they needed another polyester shirt. They bought it because it represented something. It was a declaration of faith in the political promise that Trump would restore the country, drain the swamp, break the globalist system and put the forgotten American worker first. But when belief in the promise disappears, the merchandise becomes clutter.

A $30 Trump hat looks considerably less attractive when gasoline costs more than $4 per gallon. A Trump flag becomes difficult to justify when the grocery bill keeps climbing. A gold-painted Trump statue becomes an absurd luxury when working families are deciding whether to purchase food or place the electric bill on a credit card. The Trump Superstore did not run out of Trump merchandise. It ran out of people willing to believe that owning it still meant something.

There is also a spiritual lesson here for Bible believers. Far too many Christians transformed Donald Trump from a political candidate into some sort of messianic personality. MAGA rallies began resembling religious revivals, political slogans displaced biblical discernment, and any criticism of Trump was treated as an act of apostasy. But Donald Trump is not Jesus Christ. MAGA is not the Church. America is not Israel, and no occupant of the White House can save a nation that has rejected the Book, the blood and the blessed hope.

“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.” Proverbs 19:2 (KJB)

The Bible warns us plainly, but millions preferred the red hat to the old Book. Now the political merchandise is gathering dust and the movement built around it is discovering that personality cults cannot indefinitely survive broken promises and economic pain. This is not an endorsement of the Democrats, whose godless agenda remains every bit as wicked and destructive as it has always been. It is a warning against turning any politician into a saviour and then refusing to acknowledge reality when his promises collapse. The giant “GOING OUT OF BUSINESS” banner outside the Trump Superstore could just as easily be hanging over the Trump presidency. The excitement is disappearing, the crowds are shrinking, even Republican loyalty is weakening. The polling is collapsing, and the merchandise that once symbolized a political revolution is being dumped at half price.

Trump successfully sold MAGA America a golden age, but it turned out to be a golden age bill of goods. . What his supporters received were higher bills, expensive gasoline, costly groceries and another war. Now they are walking away from the merchandise because they are walking away from the illusion. The Trump Superstore is closing because the customers have disappeared. Unless something changes dramatically, history may record that its massive liquidation banner became the perfect political obituary for the rapidly failing Trump presidency:

GOING OUT OF BUSINESS—EVERYTHING MUST GO. BYE, BYE, MISS AMERICAN PIE.

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: How Moderna Was Created As A DARPA Secret Project To Weaponize COVID And Its Vaccine For Global Subjugation

Follow The Money: DARPA Under Obama Funded Moderna, Fauci’s Agency Helped Develop Its Vaccine, Trump Accelerated It And Biden Used Government Power To Mandate It Across America

Take whatever you’ve been told, whatever you think you know, about the true origins of COVID-19 and the subsequent bioweapon known as the COVID vaccine, and throw it out the window because the truth is the real conspiracy theory. This is a story about a 2009 secret project called ‘LS18’ imagined by shadowy private venture capital firm Flagship Pioneering, and turned over to DARPA who then created the most visible secret government project in American history. By the time it was over, it would involve the governments of presidents Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Donald Trump and NIAID director Anthony Fauci as the star players responsible for bringing it all to pass. What is LS18? Moderna and the COVID vaccine.

“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:32 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, long before COVID-19, the United States government was pouring money into Moderna’s experimental mRNA platform. DARPA awarded Moderna as much as $25 million in 2013 to develop mRNA medicines capable of responding rapidly to natural and engineered biological threats. BARDA later committed money to Moderna’s Zika program before providing a maximum award of $1.4 billion to advance its COVID vaccine through clinical development and FDA licensure. Moderna’s own federal filings acknowledge that its COVID vaccine was developed in collaboration with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases—the agency directed by Anthony Fauci from 1984 through 2022. The government was not standing outside Moderna’s laboratory waiting to evaluate a privately developed product. Government scientists participated in its development. Government agencies funded the trials. The government financed manufacturing. The government purchased the doses. Government officials promoted the injections, and government policies created demand. Federal liability protections shielded the manufacturers. This was not a normal relationship between a government regulator and a private pharmaceutical company. This was an integrated government/corporate MAFIA-style operation.

This was never simply the story of one vaccine or one pharmaceutical company. It’s the all-too true story of what happens when government, medicine, secret military research, corporate profit, media propaganda and emergency authority merge into a single apparatus. It is literally the greatest scandal in American history, and the most deadly coordinated global attack ever conceived and carried out.

  • Trump’s Operation Warp Speed supplied the money, military organization and unprecedented acceleration.
  • Fauci and NIAID supplied the scientific partnership, institutional authority and public-health messaging.
  • Moderna supplied the commercial product and collected billions in revenue.
  • Biden supplied the mandates, employment pressure and federal enforcement.
  • The media portrayed questioning as dangerous misinformation.
  • The pharmaceutical companies received sky-high profits and liability protection.

What did the American people get? Plenty. We received endlessly-shifting bogus guidance, arbitrary restrictions, economic devastation, coerced medical decisions and endless demands to trust officials who repeatedly resisted scrutiny. People who dared to oppose the Moderna machine were blocked, censored, ridiculed and deplatformed. When it was all over and the dust settled, not a single person in government took responsibility for their actions. Delay, Deny, Defend. Today we follow the money trail, you won’t like where it leads, but it will lead you to the truth whether you can receive it or not.
