Fighting and killing infidels is, after all, commanded in the Qur\u2019an (cf. 2:191. 4:89, 9:5, 9:289, 47:4, etc.). A hadith has a Muslim asking Muhammad: \u201cInstruct me as to such a deed as equals Jihad (in reward).\u201d Muhammad replied, \u201cI do not find such a deed.\u201d (Bukhari 4.52.44)<\/p>\n<p>Thus killing infidels during Ramadan is, for the killers, a holy and sacred act. A jihadi group <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ynetnews.com\/articles\/0,7340,L-4258440,00.html\">explained it<\/a> back in 2012:<\/p>\n<p><em>The month of Ramadan is a month of holy war and death for Allah.
