På de første ti dagene av den hellige måneden, som startet den 17. mai for de fleste muslimene rundt omkring i verden, så ble minst 525 mennesker enten drept eller skadet av terrorangrep utført av muslimer.
Det gir et gjennomsnitt på 20 drepte og 30 skadde hver dag siden begynnelsen av Ramadan. Minst 52 ulike angrep har funnet sted under muslimenes hellige måned.
Mange jihadister tror at det spesielt heroisk å drepe «vantro» og at Allah belønner «martyrer» under den hellige måneden.
Jihadistgrupper og andre islamister er kjente for å oppfordre sine medlemmer og tilhengere å utføre jihad under Ramadan.
I allmennhet så er Ramadan en måned hvor muslimer avstår fra å spise, drikke, røyke, ha sex eller andre fysiske aktiviteter daglig, som starter fra soloppgang og varer til solnedgang.
Hittil i år har terrorgruppen Taliban i Afghanistan vært den mest dødelige gruppen, etterfulgt av IS, som fremdeles utgjør en trussel etter store tap i Irak og Syria etter at Russland gikk inn på syrisk side i konflikten.
IS var den mest dødelige gruppen i fjor, da man under Ramadan drepte 1.639 mennesker og skadet 1.704 mennesker, som markerte den blodigste hellige muslimske måneden i nyere tid.
Tallene er hentet fra ulike nettsider og nyhetsrapporter som følger islam.
