Islamic State calls on Muslims to make Ramadan “a month of calamity everywhere for the non-believers”
Ramadan is the month in which Muslims are supposed to deepen their piety and renew their commitment to Allah.

UK’s Cameron: Trump’s Muslim immigration ban “very dangerous thing to say”
But Cameron said nothing about the danger of letting in large numbers of Muslim immigrants with no possibility of screening out jihadis from among them.

UK: Muslim, 66, stabs four women in supermarket parking lot
Why would a “pensioner, 66,” suddenly go on a stabbing spree and try to murder four women? Maybe Ethem Aydin Orhon is mentally ill; we will certainly be told that he is, whether he is or not.
