Muhammed Afia is crazy, right? Hearing voices, no? Well, possibly, but the burning of idols has precedent in this hadith: “It was narrated from Anas that Ali came to some people of Az-Zutt, who worshipped idols, and burned them. Ibn Abbas said: ‘But the Messenger of Allah [SAW] said: “Whoever changes his religion, kill him.”‘” (an-Nasai, 5.37.4065)
Note, by the way, that while KDVR has him saying “God told him to” do this, the arrest document has him saying that “Allah told him to.” Colleen Flynn of KDVR is engaging in the time-honored practice of whitewashing an act of Islam-inspired violence.
The police report also says his name is Afia, not Afie as the article below has it.
“Police: Suspect set Aurora house fire because ‘God told him to,’” by Colleen Flynn, KDVR, February 7, 2022:
AURORA, Colo. (KDVR) — A 19-year-old man was arrested after setting a fire in his house and an altercation with an officer on Sunday.
Muhammed Ibraheem Afie is facing charges of first-degree arson, second-degree assault and obstructing a peace officer or firefighter.
Aurora Fire Rescue battled the blaze at 3616 S. Idalia St. around noon and got it under control quickly. Firefighters said there were no people or animals injured in the fire.
According to an arrest document, Afie set his sister’s dolls on a lit stove, sprayed lighter fluid around the house and lit 16 candles in another room because “God told him to.”
Aurora Police Officer Vander Molen’s body camera video showed Afie at the residence and firefighters told him it was dangerous and to leave, the document said. When he left and walked across the street, another officer tried to stop him, he jerked away from the officer and walked back to the house.
When Vander Molen tried to block Afie from reentering the house, Afie forcefully shoved Vander Molen in the chest, the arrest document said. Vander Molen brought Afie to the ground and the two struggled which resulted in injury to two of the Aurora officer’s fingers.
Vander Molen was able to handcuff Afie and he was then taken to a patrol car. The arrest document said Afie was “rambling, referring to ‘Allah,’ and burning idols.”…

Colorado: Muslim sets fire to his house because ‘Allah told him to,’ to destroy his sister’s ‘idols’ (dolls)
………………
Many will just assume that Muhammed here has the by now oblaglatory “mental issues”–but as noted this is all Islamic.
somehistory says
Another “mentally ill” mozlum terrorist? ““rambling, referring to ‘Allah,’ and burning idols.” Colorado seems to be teeming with them.
Many times, arson precedes murder. Lock him up and throw away the key.
gravenimage says
What if someone else had been home? What if the fire spead to the neighbor’s places? He easily could have killed someone.
somehistory says
He would have probably considered it a bonus if someone had died by his hand. And they likely will next time.
gravenimage says
Grimly true.
revereridesagain says
He’s already setting fires. Next is torturing animals. Keep him away from the neighbors’ dogs.

Isn’t that Robin from the BeeGees ?
Eleanor says
From his appearance, and what he did, wouldn’t be at all surprised if he is a convert to Islam. The background of this one could be interesting.
VICTOR COWEN says
Obviously mentally deranged like most ‘activist’ Muslims.
Omer Causey says
Men of the Muslim faith attract attention when they act out the violent admonitions of the Qu’ran against prohibited practices by “bad Muslims” and against infidels (everyone in the world who is not a “good Muslim”). Many times this acting out is characterized as mental illness, and by any realistic diagnostic criteria is in fact “mental illness” by any Western medical standard.
Since the last of the American witch burnings in the early 1700s, Christianity has not demonstrated a similar propensity to induce religion-based violence in its adherents – at least not in the West; I confess to ignorance of whether there are violent Christian sects elsewhere in the world.
Does Islam simply attract more psychotics than Christianity, or is the Qu’an a training manual that converts otherwise sane people into demonic killers?
mjazz says
Many Christians are being persecuted in the world.
OLD GUY says
Why not he knows we will give him another one because he is a muslim man and therefore special. Everything he does is approved of in the Qur’an as told to him in his Mosque and from Mohammad. If he is a refugee deport him after he spends time in a jail cell.
revereridesagain says
There are no Muslim “men”. Muslim “male”. There, fixed it for y’all.
PMK says
At worst, he might get probation. Or maybe be ordered to undergo counseling. Nothing will come of this. The owners of the house will have to deal with the fire damage. Afia will not have to pay damages. After all, he is a Muslim. We can’t let ‘Islamophobia” take hold.
revereridesagain says
Every time I think I’ve seen the most idiotic application of “Because Allah told me to”, someone raises the bar. If there were an Olympics medal in this event the gold would be his this year.
Bikinis not Burkas says
Another one suffering from mental illness from slamming his head into a rug multiple times a day and following the fat white dwarf!
The perfect man, NOT, defective DNA.
Muhammad was WHITE!
