Is this how Iraqis celebrate Ramadan?

Considering Ramadan (رمضان) is supposed to be a time to cleanse the inner soul and free it from harm, and that Muslims were supposed to refrain from anger, envy, greed, lust, sarcastic retorts, backstabbing and gossip, I found it curious that this month in Iraq was so bloodied by those professing to be adherents of Islam.

Perhaps the American elections were more important to them than their faith.
