#1 Do the death squad members count as civilians?

Keep an eye on the libs now because they'll probably sneak out at night and try to move the goal posts again.

#4 Only four people were killed or found dead nationwide

That is probably a lower total than Washington, D.C. can claim.

#5 Ramadan is done, I'd expect more soon!

Seems you know little about Islam. Ramadan has ever been considered as the best month for Jihad since Muhammad times (1). Thus everywhere where there is Mulim terrorism be it in Algeria, Phhilipiiines, Thailand or Irak Jihadis have ever tried to increase the number and the savagery of their attacks.

The fact this time the attacks have decreased for Ramadan marks in fact a sharper decrease in their capabilities than you would infer by reading the percentage of decrease respective to normal months.

(1) Ramadan was holy month in pre-Muslim times. One that even the most hardened criminals respected. Two Mulims attacked and killed the five members of a caravan who were trvalling unarmed due to the truce. It was Islam's first victory. At this time the Muslim movement was struggling financially (after similar attacks had failed) so the sale of the booty was a welcome gulp of air. Then Muhammad had one of those so opportune dreams sent by Allah telling him that breaking Ramadan's truce was legitimate and in fact the best month for fighting infidels.

#7 Ramadan was holy month in pre-Muslim times. One that even the most hardened criminals respected.

That should read:

Ramadan was holy month in pre-Muslim times. During this month there was a truce that even the most hardened criminals respected

#9 I'll cheefully attribute this plunge to the surge because I doubt like all hell it is for want of trying. The proclivity that Muslims have for killing each other is matched only by their animosity towards civilization in general.
