Absolutely *No attacking during Ramadan* UNLESS ***** (the exceptions :-)

a) It is Muslims attacking Jews
b) It is Muslims attacking Americans
c) It is Mulsims attacking Muslims

(the only option left of course is - No attacking Muslims by non-muslims during Ramadan)

Now if I were Mulsim - I'd call it a great rule :-)

Catch-22 includes this further overrider ...

If you are designated as American then you are not Muslim (even if you are). e.g. the Muslims who died in the Sept 11 attack were designated Americans which takes priority over being Muslim.

So an American army is designated American which by Catch-22 definition means they are not Muslim (even if they are) therefore a Muslim army that comes from America is not allowed to attack Muslims during Ramadan (even if the people they are attacking are not Muslims but are designated Muslims).

In case you might have been a tad confused by the last sentence above. If you are not a Muslim, but are fighting with Muslims and are not in an American force, then Catch-22 allows you to be designated Muslim (even if you are not). This further enhancement to the rule means an American who joins the Taliban who is not a Muslim, is designated a Muslim cannot be attacked by forces designated non-Muslim (even if they individually are).
