Some 1,600 people died from violence during Ramadan this year, according to Breitbart News. Muslim communities found themselves in the middle of violent and horrendous attacks carried out by radical extremist groups.

“The 1,627 fatalities this year nearly quadrupled the estimated 421 deaths last year,” Breitbart reported. “There were an estimated 160 terror incidents in nearly 30 predominantly Muslim countries during Ramadan 2017.”

ISIS killed many Muslims as well as innocent people from other religions in attacks throughout the month.

The Coptic Christian population in Egypt also suffered recently at the hand of ISIS. On Palm Sunday this spring, ISIS bombed two Coptic churches in the country. Egypt’s president declared a three-month state of emergency after the April bombings.

Yet in the midst of the violence, individuals still have hope for a brighter future.

“Dawoud Riyad, a middle-aged Christian man, set up tables in a street near his Cairo home last week, serving free home-cooked meals to hungry passersby when it was time for them to break their fast for the … evening meal,” as Reuters reported.

“They invited me and my kids, and I was surprised,” said a Muslim Cairo resident. “They laid the table out on the street with no difference between sheikhs, Christians or Muslims.”

Last week in Mosul, Iraq, ISIS allegedly blew up the historic Great Mosque of al-Nuri — a move that could signal the collapse of the regime in the area.
