Y'all know how whenever you've been fasting since 4 am and can't eat or drink anything till the sun sets so you get delirious and pull some crazy shit that kills a lot of people and then get surprised when a Welshman drives a van through a crowd of people you know because of your shit? Well Muslims do that around this time of the year and this thread is to chronicle any shitstorms that pop up, since we all know Ramadan is that time when the need to Snackbar intensifies.

Ramadan is determined by a lunar calendar, while I think the Gregorian calendar (the one that's become standard now, or at least a slightly modified one) is solar. So it's not the same date every year.

I wonder if Christianity decided to more or less stick to a solar calendar because Catholism took root early in Europe where there’s a greater change of seasons, or because they did their best to coopt pagan rituals which were strongly tied to the solstices and equinoxes?

As for Christianity sticking to a solar calendar, I think it's more of the other way around (after all, the place where Christianity originated used a lunar calendar). In that, the people who used a solar calendar lived in Europe, and so when they converted they just kept the same holidays; one of the major ways Catholics influenced non-Christians into converting was to "re-interpret" their events as being Christian. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpretatio_Christiana)

The Gregorian Solar Calendar became tied into the idea we need to keep accurate time and have things at predictable forecastable intervals and was later cemented when semi-accurate timepieces where invented and the idea of a 24-hour cycle is useful for division of time for organisational reasons, but then what REALLY settled it was the fact the maths used for Timekeeping are remarkably similar to that of gearing and the understanding of it in the early 1700's when mechanical clocks became a science just as much of an art.

The division of time is one I could write an even by my standards VERY LONG thread about, but for practical reasons that is a general explanation of why it caught on in cultures that needed or understood the reason for Accurate and predictable timekeeping.

A couple of guys tossed an IED in an Indian restaurant in Canada, but no word if Muslim or not.

It was an Indian restaurant, so chances are that it really was a group of kebabs celebrating Ramadan. India has been doing some shit to the Muslims last I checked, so this is probably the kebab version of a neo-Nazi shooting up a Jewish community center believing it would really stop ZOG.

Citizen of Belgium gets out of jail last Monday for drug charges and kills cops. Political reasons for the attack possible, but probably nothing to do with Ramadan. Obviously still need investigation.

BBC reports culprit shouted "allahu akbar" during rampage. No formal terror or other group has claimed responsibility yet.

Given that it's Belgium it's likely to be Islamist.

The thing with "Allahu Ackbar" is that they like to yell that at pretty much all occassions, including but not limited to their favorite soccer team scoring a goal, watching a particularly well-executed beheading, an acid attack, finding their wallet under the couch or just out of boredom.

I assume he decided to turn his life around and found Allah on the rear end of an assault rifle, tho.

I was about to say that maybe the kebab was an exceptional individual that got spooped, but then I remembered that dogs are particularly hated in Islam and seen as unclean.

this is why sandniggers aren't compatible with the first world. dogs are what made humans. to hate them is to hate oneself.
 
A guy got shot by police on a train yesterday.
Germany+wielding a knife makes me think about possible kebab, but the police has given no name or at least it wasnt present in the news Ive read about it.
