Is violence especially discouraged during Ramadan?
I've heard people talk about Ramadan as a month that's meant to be peaceful, but I'm worried that they may be Christians who think that if Christmas is supposed to be peaceful, then the same must be true about Ramadan.
I tried looking at the "religious practices" and "crime" sections of Wikipedia's Ramadan article, but couldn't find anything.
Also, are individuals deciding to engage in, or exhorting others to engage in, lesser jihad specifically during Ramadan a modern phenomenon, or did it happen in historical times?
