So.. Many of you ignore this but muslims are at the very last days of the holy month: Ramadan
We hear about mass shooting every once in a while, we all know about the bombings in Europe but did anyone hear about the 250+ muslims slaughtered in 4 muslim cities in only 1 week..
ISIS strikes again, and this time consecutively in Istanbul (Turkey), Dacca (Bangladesh), Baghdad (Iraq) and lately Jedda (Kingdom Saudi Arabia)
Do you still believe ISIS are muslims/Islamists? :)

Ok, the month of Ramadan for muslims is to get closer to Islam, and Allah, and obviously fasting is a way to get closer to Allah. Lets say there are 30 days, and you can get 100 rewards in the afterlife for each fast out of the 30 you keep. In this month, its not just being disallowed from eating, its more than that, you cant swear, talk about people behind their backs, other stuff that would get a muslim further away from their religion. This weakens your fast, supposedly getting you less reward out of the theoretical 100 reqards even if you do not eat and break your fast at the proper time. Now, if things as little as swearing could weaken your fast, imagine what killing a person would do. It is mandatory for muslims that have reached puberty to keep all 30 fasts, which means that if these muslims were fasting and killing for their religion, then their fast would have been broken by going against the word of Allah and killing people, some non muslims and some muslims. Now, in my opinion, to answer your question, they are muslims as every holy book is up to interpretation, read it however you want to read it. They can read into the Qu'ran and believe it is right to kill for your religion, but this is a miniscule minority of the 1.5 billion (around) muslims that are on the planet. But, the holy month of Ramadan (which ended today) is meant to be a month where you get closer to Allah. Im from Bangladesh and I have looked into what happened in Dhaka, and it said that the extremists were killing and torturing people that could not recite a verse from the Qu'ran. I think that there were only 2 Bengalis killed, and there were actually 9 Italians and 7 Japanese people that were killed as well, but I may be wrong. Maybe in their minds it is right to do this, maybe they have mental illnesses or just they were brought up with influences that guided them this way. In their minds, they are muslims, even though they do these attacks in this holy month. Maybe they believe this is what will get them closer to Allah. This is my 14 year old viewpoint, correct me if Im wrong at any stage here, Id like to know what you guys think about this.
