Followers of Islam must observe certain requirements during Ramadan – including one to refrain from sinful behaviour that may negate the reward of fasting, including false speech (insulting, backbiting, cursing, lying) and fighting.

This Writer would certainly include suicide bomb attacks as fighting.

Therefore anybody following these urgings of Daesh would be committing a sin, according to Muslim religious beliefs.

No Islamic organisation would encourage its members to sin.

Therefore Daesh is not an Islamic organisation and should not be associated with Muslims.

An Islamic State spokesman has urged sympathizers in Europe and the US to launch attacks on civilians there if they are unable to travel to the group’s self-declared caliphate in Syria and Iraq.

In a 31-minute audio message released late on Saturday by the Isis media arm al-Furqan, Abu Mohammed al-Adnani told his followers: “The tiniest action you do in the heart of their land is dearer to us than the biggest action by us … There are no innocents in the heart of the lands of the crusaders.”

He encouraged lone wolf attacks during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which starts early in June, “to win the great award of martyrdom”.
