Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State have for years been advocating using fires as a tool of jihad.
“‘Unleash Hell’: New Al Qaeda magazine describes in detail how to start huge forest fires across the U.S..with instructions on how to make ’ember bombs.’” — Daily Mail, May 3, 2012
“ISIS-linked media: California fires are retribution for Syria,” Preston Business Review, November 15, 2018
“Pro-ISIS Media Center Urges Muslim In The West To Set Forests, Factories, Agricultural Fields, And Buildings On Fire,” MEMRI, July 26, 2020:
On July 26, 2020, the Pro-ISIS Al-Hayat Media Center uploaded an animated video titled “Incite the Believers” to its Telegram channel. The narrator called upon Muslims living in non-Muslim lands to avenge their Muslim brothers using whatever weapons are available to them and to carry out Jihad and terror attacks, the video showed various kinds of weapons, including knives and firearms. The narrator said that Muslims should use commonly available items to carry out their attacks and specifically giving the example of fire. He elaborated that fires such as forest fires have killed many non-Muslims and caused hundreds of millions of dollars of damage. He encouraged Muslims to start fires in a fashion that doesn’t draw attention to themselves and to dispose of all forms of evidence as they leave. The video urged viewers to set fire to forests, factories, agricultural fields, and buildings. The video showed a man marking a location in California on a map to set ablaze.
Narrator: “My brothers, all Muslims in every place, under the rule of any sect of kufr, we know that you aspire to avenge for your brothers – who the kuffar and murtadeen [apostates] bombed with their fire and destroyed their cities and villages and imprisoned them in their jails. You look around yourself and you do not find in your hand a weapon that you can use to subdue the enemy of Allah. We know that you are eager to fulfill what your lord, the mighty, the great giver has commanded you from jihad against the mushrikeen [polytheists] and instilling fear in their chests through various methods of terrorism and infuriating them, healing the hearts of the believers. But you cannot find a way to achieve that. The criminals have prevented you from making hijrah [emigrating] to the fields of jihad and the people of the battlefront, and we are sure that if you knew how and found a weapon, you will not delay in fulfilling your duty to support the Muslims and do jihad against the mushrikeen.
“You look around yourself again, keeping an eye [out] for a solution and not searching for a problem. You take in your hand all the means to kill and destroy and consider what you can use easily and without drawing attention to yourself and making the result be death, destruction, and heavy losses to your enemies; yes, my brother, it is that weapon that is in reach of every hand, and even children are proficient in using it. And people have used it since ancient times to harm their enemies. Yes, it is fire.
“To become more convinced of this option, try looking at the losses caused by fires in the lands of the Crusaders every year. Fires in every forest and fields, cities and villages completely destroyed, people displaced, armies of firefighters and civil defense personnel are working continuous days to no avail. The disaster does not stop there, but causes hundreds of millions of dollars in losses sometimes. And look at the human losses caused by fires among the kuffar; sometimes, they exceed the numbers of those lost in major strikes by the mujahideen in which they used guns and explosives. Now, rise up and start working.
“After putting your trust in Allah, the great, truly consider the results of what you intend to do. You will need to monitor well for a place you can set a fire without drawing attention. Consider that the fire you will set after your withdrawal from the place will be so great, that the efforts made to extinguish it will cost your enemies greatly and perhaps they will not be able to put it out. To expand and consume fertile and dry land, their profits will be destroyed and their lives lost. On your way back from the place of your blessed attack, safely dispose of all that can be used as evidence that it is you who lit that fire. Perhaps they will be suspicious about you, monitoring your locations. But, there’s no evidence you intended to [do] that, and nothing with which to hold you accountable for it, except for matchsticks or a lighter, where the pocket is nearly empty of them. Trust in Allah and proceed in this matter. Remember that the longevity of an act is sometimes more important than its strength or what was announced about it. Do not be hasty in goodness, because something is better than that. Invade for the sake of Allah, and seek help from Allah. We ask Allah to help you, give you recompense, and bless your jihad.”
Walter Sieruk says
We may all be sure of terrible reality that the jihadist/ Muslims of ISIS are very serious about having arson Islamic terror/murder attacks in America.
Nevertheless, we ,as Americans , should not live in fear nor be afraid to go to different places or do different things out of being afraid of an ISIS jihad attack . For to live in fear would make the jihadists of ISIS happy.
Still, even though we need not live in fear we should be alert and aware of our surrounding as likewise be on the lookout for anything appears wrong or out of place. As in “What’s wrong with this picture?” Then if anything is seen that doesn’t seem right then go and inform and right person about it.
For example , that tee -shirt vendor in New York City , at times square, who saw some smoke come out of a parked van .So he went a told police officer about it. As it has been said “If you see something, say something.” This may be put in another way, be the words of a former US President, Thomas Jefferson, For his wise words apply, even more now, then they did in his own time. For Mr. Jefferson declared “Let the eye of vigilance never be closed.”

Islamic State urges Muslims in US to ‘monitor well for a place you can set a fire without drawing attention’
……………….
All this most Islamic of groups wants to do is cause destruction and death. This is what Islam teaches.
DH says
Nothing demonstrates the ease with which a person of modest means and intelligence can cause damage far out of proportion to their value as a human being like arson. I am surprised that it hasn’t become the main cause of forest fires in non-Muslim countries. It may be that the closer a person gets to lighting the match, the more they consider bad outcomes (for them personally of course); like maybe some innocent Muslim children die, or it burns down a strip mall mosque, or it hurts plants and trees (which really was a concern of Muhammad).
DH says
And the fact that ISIS is urging people to get away instead of urging them to commit Islamic Jihad Martyrdom by cop says something; they can’t afford to scare away new recruits or lose existing ones.
Jen says
Jihadist sacrifice their own young by putting suicide vests on them. They believe all Muslims go to heaven just like the movie All Dogs Go To Heaven. Lol….They believe if a bystander Muslim is killed during jihad it is better for them to be with Allah thus excusing the jihadist from any blame or consequences. Bottom line they have no regard for life of any kind and never will. One dead non believer is worth more than any amount of Muslims killed along side of the non believer. They have no moral, ethical, or humanitary conscience. Pleas do not give them credit they do not deserve. They are savages and have been this way since the days of their pedo, suicidal, slave owning, murderous prophet Mohammed, piss be upon him.

Islam wants the total power over the globe.
That means the world will be at its final stage of evolution.
Horror will rule.
curious says
Some of the fires that devastated Australia in January were caused by jihadi arsonists. There was only occasional reporting of this connection at the time, and I cannot find any follow up to see if anyone was convicted and sentenced.

Yes–I’ve wondered how many wildfires have been set by Jihadists.

Fire kites / balloons are fired periodically by “palestinians” from Gaza into Israel.
But you knew that already….

Yes–I have heard of this, James. Just disgusting.
underbed cat says
In my opinion, most likely, since it is no secret they are taught to be aware of fire conditions for maximum cover that anyone could suspect or suggest it was anything but just nature, since fires “ignite by themselves right? So in dry conditions public announcements, a jihadist can just do their work and it would be islamaphobic or hate speech for anyone to suggest any possible motive as a protective response ,unlikely to be noticed or allowed to be investigated. Fires happened across the world and are used by jihadist to burn churches, have killed many in countries in Africa, Europe,India to send the fear into the hearts of anyone who uses free speech or resists religious conversion, when Trump walked over to a burned church in Washington, it was very symbolic, it caused a negative media blitz used to criticize or mock the President but for me he knows the protesters may be funded or directed, what often but not reported that it is a tool jihadist use and will never admit since it has “no relation to the sharia bent religion of peace,? except those who know the”peaceful nuetral sounding words that allowed it to operate in the United States have two audiences to decieve and hide their work and have tons of money to influence media to be silent, to do so, Trump sent back a message he is not decieved.
gravenimage says
Grimly true–there have been messages to Jihadists urging this in dry conditions in California, Israel, and Australia–and probably in other places, as well.
Walter Sieruk says
One of the explanation as to how such totally unconscionable, ruthless, vicious actions and murderous are committed by the Muslim terrorists who compose the brutal and deadly jihad entity ISIS is answer in the following . The jihadists of ISIS are engaging in the Islamic doctrine of “Muruna” which is the dogma of Islam that teaches committing evil for the greater good is a noble part of the jihad for Islam. This is, in essence, the same type of “philosophy” that the communists had gone by in the twentieth century. That it’s a “good thing “ to commit many evils to obtain a “worker’s paradise.” Likewise, during World War II even the Nazis had this line of thinking.” To express, as in to illustrate this idea, even more, is by using a twenty-first century movie. Near the end of this movie, just before the final defeat of the super-arch –villain General Zod , that super villain said “No matter how brutal and deadly I was I did it for the greater good.” That is the common mindset of many villains including those of ISIS.
underbed cat says
Exactly it the mindset. they also exploit many peaceful unaware people to support them with streamline, prefected words, video’s of persecution or victims of war which is the obligation of muslims to aid that have two meanings depending on the audience. The world is theirs to conquer and you would never know this unless you read what is taught to do greater good, evil for greater good ? The clueless of the doctrine can be deceived easily, beside it would be racist right? Mosques are just churches, think again if you think it no different. Defund the police, revolution in Christian, Jewish lands is their mission and it is against sharia law, enforced to never expose it by any muslim who can be attacked by other muslims who know exactly why they flooded Christian lands and why Israel is attacked daily.
Walter Sieruk says
Those destructive cruel, brutal and murderous ISIS jihadists are so extremely deluded about themselves that they can’t be honest and acknowledge that the Bible verse found in Psalm 30 2,3. Does, very much, describe them. For it reads “Surely I am a brute, not a man; I do not have human understanding. I have not learned wisdom, nor have I attained to the knowledge of the Holy One.” [N.I.V.] Likewise, the jihadists who compose ISIS in such an Islamic delusional and irrational state of mind in their mad Islamic quest to establish a caliphate that they are further described in the Bible book of Ecclesiastes 9:3. This reads “The hearts of men are full of evil and there is madness in their hearts while they live, and afterward they join the dead.”
Jyoti Prakash Mitra says
There are approx 14 churches in America which predates Europe & the Islamic State Caliphate want arson attack in those as rebellion will cease for the Christian living.
notnolib says
The terrorists and terror supporters at the terrorist organization CAIR approves this message.
OLD GUY says
Stop the migration of muslims into the U.S. The more of these people that enter our country the higher the risk for violence from islam becomes.
