Jihad and Ramadan: the link between jihad and the holy month of Islam in Islamic fundamentalism (DIEEEM12-2018)

The present document studies the incidence of the holy month of Ramadan in the acts of jihadist terrorism. The target of this research is to obtain the theoretical evidence to verify if the month of Ramadan has a real influence on jihadist activity. For this, an islamological and historiographic analysis of the alleged relationship between jihad and Ramadan that fundamentalism defends have been resorted to, based on the hypothesis that Ramadan constitutes a narrative vector of a symbolic nature capable of influencing the stimulation of jihadist activities.
