Islamic jihadists setting Europe-wide forest fires

As threatened. Is this happening in the U.S.? "Al-Qaeda blamed for Europe-wide forest fires," from AFP, October 3 (thanks to Pamela Geller):

Al-Qaeda has been blamed for a recent series of forest fires across Europe, as the head of Russia's Federal Security Service claimed they were set by arsonists as part of the group's low-cost attack strategy.

"One should note that setting fires to forests in the countries of the European Union is a new tendency in al-Qaeda's strategy of a 'thousand cuts'," Alexander Bortnikov said, according to state news agency RIA Novosti, at a meeting of heads of security agencies.

"This method allows (al-Qaeda) to inflict significant economic and moral damage without serious preliminary preparations, technical equipment or significant expenses."

In linking al-Qaeda to the deadly wildfires, Mr Bortnikov pointed to calls to launch a "forest jihad" by various extremist websites which he said also publish detailed instructions about how and where to best carry out arson.

He said it was very difficult for special services to find and prosecute such arsonists.

Deadly fires have swept through forest land in EU countries such as Portugal and Spain over the past few months, killing scores of people and forcing thousands to evacuate.

In its continuing campaign against the West, al-Qaeda has vowed to "bleed the enemy to death" by resorting to inexpensive, low-scale attacks it refers to as a "strategy of a thousand cuts".

Trying to turn us into Saudi Arabia in more ways than one.

"..setting fires to forests in the countries of the European Union is a new tendency in al-Qaeda's strategy.."

They are Savages, they are Evil, they are Pure Malice.

If true, then perhaps it's time to consider destroying Mecca and Medina. Enough is enough.

The internet contains a lot of material showing how Arabs in Israel have used arson as a political weapon:

http://www.jewishpress.com/news/israel/two-arabs-arrested-for-arson-in-jerusalem-vicinity/2012/07/10/

Not so long ago, the devastating fires that ruined large stretches of Israel's reforested areas were shown to have been set by Arabs.

The interested reader can do an internet search and find the above verified by various news sources.

Circa 1984 I was caught in a forest fire in the south of France. Seriously frightening. Of course this was in an area of high summer temperature and low summer rainfall. An area where barbecues and camp fires were legally forbidden. SO EASY to start a raging fire.
My French friends suggested that the fires HAD been deliberately started to release land for development.
I think that, on these pages, I have read that islamists recommend setting fire to forests to spread fear and damage economies.
Mmmm. Seems to me that it is past the time to expel ALL muslims, good or bad, and prevent any further intrusion to the west. TOTAL BAN.
Yes I know that is harsh but if there is one bad apple in the barrel then you really do need to dump the whole barrel. The "good" apples, in my experience, never manage to expel the bad ones and the rot can so quickly take hold. I have too often failed to salvage any good apples from a bag with just one rotten one. Worse with pears.

So why does Russia even CONSIDER aiding Syria and Iran?

High time Wellington but I think destroying the Kaaba - the moonstone - could be enough. In which direction would they "up arse" then?

Islamic jihadists setting Europe-wide forest fires
.................................

Grotesque. In the United States when one learns that a fire was caused by humans, it is almost always some careless campers who failed to properly put out their campfire. At worst, it is a couple of bored, low IQ teenagers who just wanted to see firetrucks, and wound up getting a lot more than they bargained for.

But setting fires *intending* to cause widespread damage and even death? Rare beyond words.

But we've been hearing threats about "Forest Fire Jihad" for years now. This could be especially disastrous in places like Australia and the Western US, which are subject to periodic drought.

More:

In its continuing campaign against the West, al-Qaeda has vowed to "bleed the enemy to death" by resorting to inexpensive, low-scale attacks it refers to as a "strategy of a thousand cuts".
.................................

And, like so much Jihad, I don't believe there is any reason to believe that this is just "al-Qaeda", but just any pious Muslims with access to a tin of kerosene and a cigarette lighter.

God, I hate Islam.

@wellington: agreed. This should have been done 13 September 2001 as well as the carpetbombing of the entire length of the afghan pak border.

Defeat forest fires, defeat jihad.

Wellington and Bewick114:

I prefer Bewick's prescription -- total deportation -- over Wellington's -- destroying Mecca & Medina.

Neither one, of course, is remotely doable now. Wellington's suggestion would be received by the PC MC mainstream as more unthinkable than reviving segregation of blacks, or even slavery. Pretty much the same for Bewick's.

Don't get me wrong -- I don't mind the idea of levelling the Islamic Twin Cities; however, it would be a drastic miscalculation to perpetrate the most inflammatory act imaginable to the inflammable Muslim mind while we still have millions upon millions of Muslims within the West. At that point, what could have been, at best, a World War Three "over there" will become a cataclysmic conflagration of violent civil unrest in our streets, turning Berlin, Paris, Madrid, London, New York, DC, LA, Seattle, Melbourne -- plus likely a hundred other cities -- into Iraq.

First things first. First get the savages out -- even the ones who are pretending successfully to be civilized. Then we can use the thread of Wellington's suggestion perhaps to keep them in line, to stay put in their Dar-al-Jahannam-on-Earth.

What are we going to do with the media and the liberals even if we can "control" the ISLAMISTS?

Environmental warfare; where nature and natural resources are destroyed as an act of aggression or sabotage. That these European forest fires are originating from Islamic terrorists do not surprise me at all. Numerous times throughout history invading armies, insurgencies, rebel groups, etc; have done things like this to wreak havoc.

Islamists have a history of committing acts that have caused horrific environmental damage. In the case of forest fires now affecting Europe, think of the potential losses if this continues. Economic losses not only if the forests are being utilized for the timber/paper industry; but natural areas used for recreation- hiking, camping, resorts, etc- bring in income; and they can’t do that when the land has been turned into smoldering ash. If the damage is severe enough then erosion, mudslides and the like can cause problems for water ways and have negative impacts on roads that are nearby. If the fires are not big enough to affect major airports, what about smaller airfields? Any planes (even small ones) changing flight paths or grounded because of this? Remember- ANY inconvenience in the daily routine of the west is what these sick twisted Islamists applaud.

What of resort buildings, lodges, nature/science research stations or logging camps in these places? What of people’s private homes and vehicles? Were any civilians or firefighters killed or injured as a result of these fires? If there are no human casualties now, if these terrorist acts continue the chances of deaths increase. No deaths? What of hospitalizations for injuries from the fires directly, indirectly with injuries from evacuations or what of persons with respiratory health problems? Infants, children and the elderly who are near large fires many times have to seek medical care for smoke and ash inhalation or allergies.

Any homes, apartments or vehicles not affected directly by the fire (ie being burned down); there is still the cleanup due to smoke and ash. Also, smoke and ash clogs electronics, engines and many other man-made things.

Wildlife as well is affected of course. How many endangered species died in those blazes? Is fishing an economic/recreational draw for people in those regions? Smoke and ash have been known to clog streams, rivers, ponds and lakes; and the fish populations choked will float to the surface dead. Hey, then park rangers and fisheries biologists will have to re-stock, and the last I knew, this isn’t free.

We see the above scenarios as end results with wildfires in the southwest USA regardless of how they were started. Accidents caused by campers, lightning strikes or criminal arsonists- out-of-control fires over large areas have negative consequences. To know that this is happening on purpose in Europe and Islamic terrorism is the cause- is absolutely repulsive.

Finally, knowing what is going on Europe, I can’t help but wonder what ARE THE CAUSES of the rising rates of destructive fires that have affected America in the last decade. Even if none of the American fires were done by terrorists; with this getting in the news about Europe… you have to know the USA Islamadoodles who support violence now have some “new ideas.” Animal rights activists, environmentalists, conservation proponents- should all be speaking out about this, but sadly- I doubt that they will.

Ot: brutal, heh

Obama was like she lack king heh

Yup..Damn the torpedoes..

"Defeat forest fires, defeat jihad."

LOL!!! ..good one :-D

Your comment, Arjay, is a very astute combination of human & physical Geographical observations. Thanks from a fellow Geographer.

Guys (Wellington, Bewick114), I've posted before and am posting again, destroying Mecca and Medina, and especially just the Kaaba are not going to stop Islam. They will just rebuild. The Kaaba in particular has been destroyed before. Also, from what I have seen of Islamic eschatology in these JW pages, Islamic end-of-time fables actually anticipate this move.

LemonLime has the right position, although his use of the word "leveling" misleads a bit.

Well then they can concentrate on rebuilding their blasphemous cube..and leave us alone..For now..

Rebuilding the Kaaba by itself would take mere weeks, and we would not be left alone.

"mere weeks" you say..Tis not the time..Tis the message..

As I posted before, their end-times fables have already telegraphed any 'message' we may wish to send by this method. They are forewarned and ready to reject it and resume jihad without blinking.

Make your own +end times tables+..nitey night Tommy..

"Make your own +end times tables"

Actually I have. Since I've not seen them published by anyone else, I'd rather keep quiet about them. Don't want to let the stealth jihadists know what could go wrong for their cause, right?

Truer words... and all that.

But really, there are very few Muslims in Mecca or Medina. What's needed is to capture them, but a large scale aerial bombardment of cities that these Mohammedans are from - Cairo, Fez, Algiers, Tunis, Karachi, Lahore, et al

Once they are given the price tag for their activities, and know that there's hell to pay, they might think twice about each of their 72 revirginized whores.

"What's needed is to capture them"

and? ;)

How to retaliate? Airlift lots of pigs and pig blood and pour it all over Mohammmedan lands >:D

As Smokey the Bear used to say:

"It only takes one dhimmi...

Remember: Only YOU can prevent forest jihad!"

I seem to recall reading that Muhammad outraged his enemies by burning down their palm trees. He ordered a couple of his henchmen to burn down a mosque that had been built by some 'Pacifist Muslims' who refused to engage in his expeditions of plunder.

There have been roughly 19,700 Islam inspired deadly terror attacks since 911. Will there ever be a letup? Or will Islam inspired Muslim terrorism continue on and on ad infinity?

Unfortunately, the resurgent jihad will most likely continue to flame for decades to come. It will continue to burn until the non-Muslims somehow quench the Islamic fire or the Muslims abandon Muhammad's perverse, terroristic cult of Islam entirely.

The Root of Terrorism a la Islamic style, Chapter 1

by ex-Muslim Abul Kasem

The world is fast becoming accustomed to the term 'Islamic Terror.' It is a new genre of global terrorism. Thanks to the Jihadists, Islamic terrorism dominates virtually every News Media of every continent. Sooner or later, the term 'Islamic Terror' may find a place in the English lexicon. With such a plethora of Islamic awareness, the question is: Is Terror a la Islamic fashion something new or is it a product of the early Jihadists' zeal as taught and practiced by Muhammad? Ask any Islamist/Islamic apologist this question and the pithy answer will, most likely be something like: Islam is peaceful, it never advocates violence, the least of all, 'Terrorism' using Islam; Osama bin Ladin and his Jihadists who have hijacked Islam are not true Muslims, the suicide bombers do not represent the true teachings of Islam-..and so on and so forth.

In this detailed article, by exposing the 'true' nature of what Islam is all about, I would like to demolish the above paradigm of the Islamists. Since Islam is firmly rooted in the past, in order to find the root cause/s of the present 'mayhem' by the Islamic fighters, we must analyse the past deeds, actions, philosophical and theological attitudes of the early Jihadists under the leadership of none but Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah. As we proceed, we must, first of all, realise that there is no such thing as the 'moderate Islam,' 'current Islam', or 'future Islam.' It is the past - the actions of millennium ago that propelled all Muslims of yesterday, haunts and impels all the Muslims of today, and will continue doing so tomorrow. We must look back, not forward, to find out the truth about Islam. Just as a tree sustains its life and continues its growth because of its roots that are firmly anchored underground - beyond the ocular visibility, so is Islam. Terrorism is firmly rooted in the very 'lofty' doctrine of an Islamic world visioned by Muhammad. This use of terror tactic is nothing new in Islam; it was the lifeblood through which Muhammad forced his concept of a unipolar world, devoted only to one Semitic God, Allah. In this lengthy treatise, I have chronicled all the events of terror, murder, deceit, lies, intrigue and warfare that had been used to nurture, advance and propagate the very essence of Islam: accept Islam, pay protection money (Jizya) or die. Many readers will be shocked and surprised at the contents of this dissertation and will shake their heads in utter disbelief. Most Muslims will be agitated, angry, frustrated and will surely go on in complete denial mode. To all these readers I would like to say that I, too, went through the same phase. As I took Islam very seriously during my formative years, I started to understand fully its doctrine and its life force, I could not believe that a man who claimed to be the messenger of Allah could ever indulge himself, as well as instruct his followers in mindless murder, loot, plunder, torture and unbound lasciviousness. As you read episodes after episodes of the early terrorism of Islam, you will find eerie similarities with the modern day global terrorism as perpetrated by the Jihadists of today. You will, for sure, discover that all the ingredients of terrorist operations are present, as they were millennium ago; it is, as if, to use the infidel language, the 'reincarnation' (or resurrection) of the past Islamic terrorists. These ingredients are/were:

Persecution and the killing of the unbelievers

Plunder and ethnic cleansing

Political assassination and revenge killing

Gratuitous murder and unabated genocide

Property grab and extreme lasciviousness

Forced conversion/Jizya

Sectarian persecution (destruction of mosques)

Let us now delve into early Islamic history and find out how and why the early Jiahadists did what they did...

I am shocked by this blasphemy against the prophet.

The incident you are referring to is the banishment of the Jewish tribe of Banu Nadir from Medina.

The attack was carried out because the Angel Gabriel, told Muhammad that some members of the Banu Nadir were plotting to assassinate him. How can you doubt this claim when Muhammad himself said the Angel Gabriel told him that and then revealed a verse from the Quran from Allah himself.

It is only that vile Kaffir William Montgomery Watt, and other Kaffirs like him, who said says "it is possible that the allegation was no more than an excuse to justify the attack".

Its all here in black and white.

But that the Jihadists are attacking western nations with arson shouldn't seem totally incredible after they have carried out all manner of atrocities against the infidel.

We ex-Muslims living with Islam's formal and informal death penalty for apostasy know for certain that Islam is an evil religion/ideology both in part and on the whole.

Islam is by no means the 'Religion of Peace' as it is commonly called. Islam is primarily a religion of injustice, intolerance, hatred, and violence. The fact is, if I were to say about Muslims what the Qur'an says about non-Muslims, I would be arrested for hate speech. The Qur'an largely preaches discrimination, death, and imposition of its dogma on everyone. Certainly some Muslims will be offended by such statements, but frankly, so what? Judaism and Christianity, the world’s two other major monotheistic religions, have had to face the harshest of scrutiny and criticism for several hundred years which continues to this day. Islam must not be granted any special privileges or be exempt from such treatment – the implications are of tremendous importance.

Here is a recent statement from a group of Bangladeshi apostates living in the UK explaining the reasons why they have abandoned Islam:

"One who claims to be a messenger of God is expected to live a saintly life. He must not be given to lust, he must not be a sexual pervert, and he must not be a rapist, a highway robber, a war criminal, a mass murderer or an assassin. One who claims to be a messenger of God must have a superior character. He must stand above the vices of the people of his time. Yet Muhammad’s life is that of a gangster godfather. He raided merchant caravans, looted innocent people, massacred entire male populations and enslaved the women and children. He raped the women captured in war after killing their husbands and told his followers that it is okay to have sex with their captives (Qur'an 33:50). He assassinated those who criticized him and executed them when he came to power and became de facto despot of Arabia. Muhammad was bereft of human compassion. He was an obsessed man with his dreams of grandiosity and could not forgive those who stood in his way...

The statement continues,

Muhammad was a narcissist, like Hitler, Saddam or Stalin. He was astute and knew how to manipulate people, but his emotional intelligence was less evolved than that of a 6-year-old child. He simply could not feel the pain of others. He brutally massacred thousands of innocent people and pillaged their wealth. His ambitions were big and as a narcissist he honestly believed he is entitled to do as he pleased and commit all sorts of crimes and his evil deeds are justified."

Next they will call Smokey the Bear an islamaphob because he wants to prevent islamic forest fires.....

Destroy and kill. That's all Islam knows. Ban Islam.

I would love to see, on the news, one of those night-vision cross-hairs clips from a B-2 bomber, as the biggest bomb it can carry sails along the laser to the piece of lucky meteorite...

Wild fires are a touchy subject around here (N.Cal)...My house and property have been in the direct path of several, there's nothing quite like a wild fire coming right at you...Many of these fires are caused by lightning strikes, out of control debris burns, animal activity, and humans acting stupidly or maliciously...When caught, the malicious have to be transferred to a jail in a different county because they are not safe in this one...The aspiring wild fire jihadist better hope they don't get caught by the sheriff or worse yet, angry homeowners...Allah will not save them...

Yeah... I can't agree with this. I think they are doing it in Israel but don't think the fires in Portugal and Spain are the result of arson.

I had my doubts so looked up info about the history of fires in southern Europe. I found a pdf about fires from 1980 to 2000. That's where I got my facts about fires in Southern Europe from.*

Mr Bortnikov neglects to include that these suspicious forrest fires-

Started in forest fire season. (I dunno about europe per se but that's when they happen in California, and in the part of california has a similar climate to Spain Portugal and Greece - the countries in southern europe that have the most fires and most acrage lost to fire - Yup I did a little research)

In a summer that reached temperatures almost reaching 104 f after one of the dryest winters in years.

In countries that have similar climate to the part of California that sees very damaging fires every year or so.

In two of the three of the southern Europian countries that lose the most hectars to forest fires a year. (he cites spain and portugal- Spain Portugal and Greece tend to have the most fires and lose the most acrage to fires of all the south Europian countries)

Forest fires cause damage significant to a country the size of Israel but Spain and Portugal lose up to hundreds of thousands of hectars a year to forest fire (from 1980 to 2000 anyway). These recent fires took about 2000 hectares (at least at the time the article citing the damage both fires caused was written).

So I'd have to say this is typcal Russian Bullpucky, using the same desceptive Russian style pseudo reason that RT clips are. I dunno if the guy is an alarmist, a half wit or a propogandist but his reasoning is as proffessional as my spelling.

Just because the savages say they should do something doesn't mean they actually did it. Lots of people talk about blowing the Kabaa to smithereens, but that doesn't mean anyone's actually made plans to do it that they intend to carry out.

* This is the info about forrest fires in Southern Europe from 1980 to 2000:

http://ec.europa.eu/echo/civil_protection/civil/pdfdocs/forestfiresreportfinal.pdf

I had a Philosophy Professor back in my college days who used to say "Don't do anything that will get you all burned up". He was probably referring to the Inquisition and at least somewhat in jest. Should we say that to the jihads or maybe that will become another reason for starting the fires.


The subject of forest fires being caused by those muslims
living among us is a subject that has/had crossed my mind
many, many times in the past.

I am NOT at all surprised that this subject is now coming
to the fore nor would it surprise me to learn that muslims
are in fact responsible for many of those fires.

Having read the koran and portions of the various hadiths,
I am absolutely convinced that those living in the free
world (that is to say; the non-muslim world) will never,
never be allowed to live a peaceful life as long as there
exists the criminal element called Islam.

I for one would vote for the politician who would outlaw
Islam in America and deport all those muslims who chose
to remain within that sick creed. Hopefully, one day in
the near future, Americans, and others, will find the
wisdom & courage to finalize such a law.

Peace, Paul R.

Whether or not the fires are the result of natural causes such as lightning or because some person or persons set them could be determined by a few good fire inspectors. But if muslims have not been setting them before, they probably just haven't gotten around to it...too busy burning other things and yelling freely about the rest of the world's humans not respecting them and being allowed to talk about it all.

Thanks for your input, TD. Well, I never asserted that destroying Mecca and Medina would "stop Islam," as you put it. Many steps will have to be taken to do that.

But what I do assert is that destroying Mecca and Medina would be a hell of a good start if Muslims worldwide continue to disrupt the world in sundry and barbaric ways, notwithstanding those pathetic, clueless, worthless, gutless people, known as "moderate Muslims," maintaining all along that Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance, blah, blah, blah.

As for the suggestion of deporting Muslims from the West before Armageddon would come to those twin cities which spawned just about the most hateful ideology in man's history, I'm fine with this in theory but I think all the legal wranglings would bog the good guys down and M&M would still be existent ad infinitum. Why not cut to the quick and take out M&M and worry about dealing with Muslims in hysterics post facto?

Look, I'm obviously postulating here hypothetically and rhetorically, but I for one am exceedingly tired of Islam's many pathologies not just destroying lives among Muslims, but spilling over into the non-Muslim portion of the world and destroying lives and property and forests and...... Drastic ideologies put into play (and if Islam isn't a drastic ideology put into play, then there is no such thing) often require drastic solutions. Nazi Germany needed to be bombed into oblivion to end it, arguably a model for what has to occur to stop evil from succeeding. As Churchill understood so well, for civilization to prevail, civilization must sometimes stoop as low as the forces of anti-civilization. Your turn.

My turn?

All that I'll write at this time is that, if you go back and read my first post on this thread, I think you will see that there is a logical issue with it (flaw is too strong of a word, since I did it intentionally). One sentence is not really true but rather is a conditional proposition. Do something to make that sentence untrue and my position is negated. I'd rather not go further with these hints since, again, I'd rather not aid the enemy, but if the worst were to happen I would want my position to be negated.

Thanks for your comment, TD. I have been under the impression, I don't know the origin of it, that Muslims believe that Mecca and Medina cannot be harmed by non-Muslims because Allah would prevent it. I do remember one Muslim asserting that Allah would stop any nuclear device from doing destruction to M&M. The part of me which has come to despise Islam enjoys mulling over the prospect of proving such a Muslim wrong. Again, I am engaging in the hypothetical but there could come a time, say when Islamic terrorism gets so awful that 9/11 looks like a relatively minor event, that then anything becomes possible, for instance the utter elimination from the earth of any remnant of M&M. Just sayin'.

Australia is facing a high-fire-danger summer.

I have a brother living in a rural area, who is a member of the Bush Fire Brigade. They train regularly, and they will be on high alert over the next few months at least.

This particular brother has a copy of Mr Spencer's 'Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam and the Crusades'. I gave it to him. He read it. He took it seriously. He has Islam's number.

And I've given him a couple of articles about 'fire jihad' that have come up here before: Muslims jubilating over forest fires, Muslims expressing a desire to set fires in forests in Australia, Canada, USA, etc.

I am sure he takes the *possibility* seriously; I assume he will have raised the matter with other members of the Brigade; and that they will be keeping their eyes open for any identifiable Mohammedan or Mohammedans walking or driving on backroads near the forest or long grass areas on high fire danger days,

And...they know how to recognise a fire started by arson, and they are well aware of the different ways in which it can be done, and what to look for.
