RAMADAN & BOMBS

I am not a Muslim scholar. But I do not understand how Al Qaeda in Iraq can justify blowing up people during Ramadan. Especially since the bombings were timed to take advantage of the month long fasting during daylight hours.

Isn't it kind of like blowing up people during Christmas dinner?

Al Qaeda says that it follows the Muslim faith. I must be missing something. Did Mohamed ever say that it was OK to murder people who disagreed with you?

It is easy to use faith as an excuse for acts of violence. It is important to ALWAYS point out that faith is NEVER a good excuse for violence.

You can not force people to believe. You have to persuade people to believe.
