Lack of Religious Sensitivity

Hey, remember in 2001 when we began our counter-attack into Afghanistan following the 9/11 attacks? Remember how Sensitive Americans said we had to halt our military operations during Ramadan because it is disrespectful to fight during that holy season?

Remember how that sensitivity talk was just BS? Still is:

The Afghan Taliban promised on Friday to continue attacks over Ramadan, rejecting as a fake an insurgent email promising a halt in violence over the coming Muslim holy month and saying it was the work of government intelligence.

In Iraq, the enemy generally increased their attacks during the period.

In Afghanistan, the Taliban spokesman scoffed at the idea of a ceasefire:

"During the holy month of Ramadan, jihad has major rewards. And mujahideen will continue to employ all their fighting techniques to mount attacks on the enemy," he said.

What an Islamophobe!
