Ramadan will actually be an interesting situation. On one hand, you can continue the war on these zealot fruitloops and pound them continuously. From a military viewpoint, that is probably the way to go. However, from a diplomatic viewpoint, we piss off the Arab Muslims and possibly cause unrest in Saudi Arabia and other countries.

In the end , this is truly a clash of civilizations which could get a whole lot worse before it gets better. We need to be pressing the moderate Muslims to speak out vigorously against the radicals and mute those bastards into silence, or at least shout them down. If they believe Islam is a religion of peace, then spell it out to the radicals and put enough pressure on them to stall out. In the end, I think it has to be Islam policing Islam. Otherwise we could be looking at WWIII.
