#1  It is interesting how violence in the Moslem world INCREASES during the holy month of Ramadan when everyone is supposed to be praying and contemplating their faith and celebrating their faith.

Do you suppose it is more violent because Mosques full of people are convenient targets for the psychopaths among them or is it because that is the way the fanatics and extremists celebrate their faith, i.e., blowing up each other?
