With all the fires in California and other Western states nowadays, it is useful to recall that al-Qaeda and the Islamic State have for years been advocating using fires as a tool of jihad. As some Leftists have already been arrested for setting the fires, so in this yet again, the methods and goals of Islamic jihadis and Marxists coincide.
“‘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.”
Sabri S. says
Well, this is a new low. Is this site now insinuating that peaceful Muslims in america are responsible for setting the wildfires in the Western states? or that we plan to in the future? I call absolute BS on this one. Muslims do not set fire to trees or intentionally destroy nature. Only the US does that with its kaffir military, bombs and drone attacks on innocent people the world over. Leave this nonsense for the ignorant ones.
E T says
ISIS released a new video through the group’s Al Hayat Media Center on multiple websites and platforms calling for attacks using vehicles, knives, and by committing ARSON.
The video specifically encouraged wildfires and setting fires to agriculture land do to the economic damage caused by mass fires and the ease in committing the attack.
Links to the video were spread on Rocketchat,PasteThisTo, Hoop Telegram and the ISIS website. It was posted on 19 other sites.

I would call it treason and the terrorists should be hung by the neck until dead. Firing squads would be acceptable, I am an available dirty Kafir.
talleyrand says
pleaswe define a peacefull muslim is that one that does not follow the koran and denies what is in it .
IF not then how can there such an animal ,? as to follow your Ideology you MUST follow what is written or be stoned have parts removed or death so it is written .
Which part says be peacefull with Christians and jews, forgive and love thy neighbour as thy self and non believers NOWHERE it is so written is it not you MUST remove them from the face of the earth is that not true so then how can here be peacefull Muslims if that book is followed as required to the letter by the so called Ideology of peace .
I am afraid the IGNORANT ones are those that follow the rantings of a long dead war lord with possible mental problems and in fact was a liar and teller of untruths as well as a rapist of young girls and yet you all follow his rantings with out question for fear of death.
one word WOW unbelievable anyone could be so bloody brain washed .
Westman says
When you follow a book and ideology that calls for destruction upon the unbeliever, Sabri, then we’ll never know if you will be peaceful in the future, and Muslims will never be above suspicion.
It is Islam’s ideology, invented by a madman, that defines Islam, not its followers. We have no choice to do other than watch carefully for the transition in Muslims from worship to jihad.
E T says
A Jordanian Muslim citizen, freed from prison, living in Canada, Othman Ayad Hamadan, Immigration tried to deport him for posting pro-ISIS on line, Border services say he puts Canadians at risk. It is a new low to the Canadian people that a man who says “All non- Muslims should be killed” is allowed to stay, thanks to Justine Trudeau
The Muslim Brotherhood hoods are not Muslims, Sabri S. would like us to believe.
J Morgan says
ISIS themselves have called for devout Muslims to commit arson. Are we supposed to ignore this dire warning?
Nobody N. Particular says
Nothing new about it, remember the setting of the oil fields on fire by the retreating Iraqis? Islam is a deceptive ideology that seeks to use betrayal as its preferred method of eliminating their enemies. Islam is a lie trying to pretend to be Truth.
Dario says
I am not a Muslim, but I do agree with you 100%. Destroyed crops, electric grid, deplated Uranium, bridges, schools in proximity of military bases( easy to assign schools destruction to errors, collateral damage, etc.). Even convoy of refugees bombed twice, August 5th 1995, Croatia, and Spring 1999 Kosovo, 1995 was Serbian refugees and 1999 Muslim refugees desplaced by NATO and blamed on Serbs. I met a girl, now a 25 years old woman, who was born in the refugee convoy NATO bombed.
Lies will be revealed soon, So-called Islamic terrorism; Agent Hemfer/Wahabe search, for anyone who wants to know, Anglo-Saudi terrorism not Islamic terrorism.
Westman says
Yes, the West is reminded of peaceful Islam at every airport security line as they remove their belts, shoes, and stand in scanners.
The crusades didn’t happen by some whim, rather, in response to aggression from Islam.
Today, Islam and the West are very unevenly matched in ability, due to science, which is the reason for the devastation you list. If Islam continues to poke the West the conditions will only get worse for its adherents who can never catch up while following Islam’s regressive, intellect-destroying, requirements. That old world of winning wars by physical strength is gone, forever.
gravenimage says
Spot on, Westman.
Note that Dario here has not a word of condemnation for the 37,000+ Jihad terror attacks just since 9/11.
As for “Agent Hemfer” (actually “Hempher”–this poster can’t even keep his bs straight), this is a bizarre conspiracy theory concocted in Turkey in 1888 claiming that Wahabbism was created by Britons, or “crypto-Jews” (it’s pretty incoherent).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memoirs_of_Mr._Hempher,_The_British_Spy_to_the_Middle_East
Never mind that Wahabbism is orthodox Islam, and is accepted by millions of pious Muslims.Then, the implication that all Jihad terror is Wahabbist is absurd.
Dario says
I was referring to the destruction of Serbia on behalf of Islamic extremists.
gravenimage says
If so, then what is this about “so-called Islamic terrorism” and blaming Jihad on Jews and Britons? Try again…
Dario says
My apologies for misspelling Hempher.
gravenimage says
That’s the least of it.
James Lincoln says
Sabri S,
Back in May 2020, you posted that the father did the right thing by beheading his 13-year-old daughter.
And back in July 2020 you posted:
“Farrakhan is a great leader who speaks and lives the truth. May Allah continue to have and give him many blessings.”
Jihad Watch readers will consider the source of the person posting, in your case a devout muslim.
Westman says
The comments Sabri made about Farrakhan would indicate that Sabri is not an actual Sunni or Shi’a Muslim. The Nation Of Islam, Farrakhan’s organization, is not accepted as real Islam by the world’s major divisions of Islam. They would never promote Farrakhan.
It’s doubtful that it’s even accepted by the Baha’i sect.
R.J. says
Baha’i is not a sect of Islam. I used to be one, so I know.
gravenimage says
Sometimes orthodox Muslims still defend the Nation of Islam against us “filthy Infidels”, though–even though they themselves consider Farrakhan to be a “heretic”.
gravenimage says
R. J., this is true–but the Baha’i, although peaceful, still fawn over the “Prophet” Muhammed and often twist themselves into pretzels trying to present him as a benignant figure.
gravenimage says
So Sabri S. considers reporting on this story to be a “new low”, but has no problem with his coreligionists urging deliberately setting fires in the first place. That says it all…
And this is from the Islamic State–is Sabri S. saying that they are no different from peaceful Muslims?
GreekEmpress says
And he also says “Muslims do not set fires to trees or intentionally destroy nature.”
A lot of Greeks on Lesvos who lost their beautiful olive trees (and probably their livelihood) would disagree.
gravenimage says
So true, GreekEmpress–Muslims posing as being “green” is almost as absurd as their posing as feminist.
OVB says
A peaceful muslim is one who has insulted allah in the single most egregious manner by cherry picking his word (the koran) and sharia, has “resigned” from islam, made himself an apostate and, of apostates, allah tells true believers to “kill them.”
No Muzzies Here says
Is there really any hope for peace, now that the radical Islamic terrorists have allied with the US Democrat party?
E T says
Thanks to Barack Obama.
R.J. says
That’s the part I don’t get. The leftists being pro-Palestinian is one thing, but their becoming flat out terrorists is quite another. Also, how can women of the Democrat party align with a religion that suppresses and objectifies it’s women?
gravenimage says
We can’t give up.
FYI says
“the kuffar[Jews and Christians],the murtadeen[Apostates] and the mushrikeen[polyhtheists]”?
islam’s ‘holy’ book classifies them thus in its religious Apartheid system:-
“Lo!those who disbelieve,among the people of the book{i. e Jews and Christians}and the idolators{i.e all non -muslims}will abide in the fire of hell.
They are the WORST OF CREATED BEINGS”
koran 98:6
ALL NON-MUSLIMS ARE classified as ‘THE WORST OF CREATED BEINGS’.
If you are not a muslim{or are an ex-muslim} that refers to you!
muslims of course are ‘the BEST community that hath been raised up for mankind”
koran 3:110
so here we have islam’s koranically sanctioned, perverse, religious APARTHEID system:
muslims{the BEST} versus all non-muslims[kuffar,mushrikeen]/ex-muslims[murtadeen]{the WORST}
“putting your trust in allah”?
allah:the god who calls himself “the BEST of deceivers”{koran 3:54},the god whose adversary is not ‘shaitan’ as one might expect,but a MAN called the King of Kings{Sahih Muslim Vol 5 hadith #5611},the god with the Doctrine of Hate{al walaa wal baraa},the god whose ‘perfect’ book in which he pretends to be the same as the Biblical God MISSED.. the 2 chief commandments{there is no ‘love thy infidel neighbor ‘ in islam!},the Golden Rule,the Wisdom source behind the Bible and the concept of people being made in the spiritual image of God{Genesis 1:27}…..the god that CURSES Christians for believing in Jesus Christ{koran 9:30} and hates Jews{Koran 2:65 etc}the god who encourages his muslims to break the law of Moses{the Exodus 20 Decalogue,the 2 chief laws of Deut6:4-9 and Lev19:18}thus defeating the purpose of the Law being given in the first place.
allah is the diabolus simius Dei…muhammed’s sock puppet..
John says
In the Catholic prayer ‘An Act of Faith’ the last line reads,” I believe these and all the truths which the holy Catholic Church teaches because Thou hast revealed them who can neither deceive not be deceived.”
If allah is the best of deceivers doesn’t that make him the leader of the fallen angels?
Also, fire worked well for Muslims defeating the Crusaders in Hattin in 1187.
E T says
Egypt, 2003 the Muslim Brotherhood hoods/ the perverted, pyromaniac, pissants told their followers to light churches and police stations on fire. Sound familiar?

100% deception.

just a thought
After reading what was said to those in America i wonder if the Bush fires in Australia had many helping hands and with the oil in the gum tress they go off like petrol bombs and were popping up all over the place one wonders now

Walter Sieruk says
Nevertheless, ISIS keeps on destroying, just like resurgence a of plague of as deadly infectious disease. This time encouraging arson and method of destruction.
Some people who might stop and think and wonder then asked the question a very good question .Which is “Since ISIS had lost so much territory ,why haven’t the jihadist who make up ISIS just given up in their mad Islamic quest against the West and for the advancement of Islam ?
The answer to that question was provided in a speech by the ISIS spokesman, Abu Muhammad al Adnani, now dead, in this speech he had declared “True defeat is a loss of willpower and desire to fight…” he further explained “We would be defeated and you victorious only if you are able to remove the Qu ‘ran from Muslim hearts.” All this leads to a very important question: “Is the Qu ‘ran the Word of God or is it a fabrication of a man. Thus, is the Quran the truth or a fiction and a hoax ?” The jihadists, as those of ISIS use many verses from the Qu ‘ran as the main source of justification for their violence, mayhem and murders. As found in For example, 2:191.. 4:47 5:33. 9:5,111,123. 47:4 The answer is clearly given on pages 145 through 157 in THE ISLAMIC INVASION by Robert Morey in which he wrote a section on the Qu ‘ran with its self-contradictions. Just two of the many he cited are the following “The Quran differs on whether a day is a thousand years or fifty thousand years in God’s sight’ and “Who was first to believe? Abraham or Moses [Sura 6:14 versus 7:143]? The above is inconsistent and illogical. Further, Morey wrote about “The fact that Judaism and Christianity broke up into different sects was used in the Qu‘ran to prove that they are not of God [Suras 30:20-32. 42:13, 14]. Yet Islam has broken up into many warring sects and therefore cannot be true if the Qu ‘ran is right.” Moreover, Morey in his book shows many more contradictions and absurdities in the Quran, there are and how Muhammad incorporated extra Biblical and Jewish folklore along with pre-Islamic Arabian myth and parts of Zoroastrian and Hindu stories into the Qu ‘ran.
Furthermore, the Muslims claim that “the Qu ‘ran is the direct, literal word of God unmodified in any way by the Prophet who uttered them at the bidding of God.” Nevertheless, in the book UNVEILING ISLAM by Ergun Mehmet and Eethi Caner has shown that the Qu’ran was modified in the following account on pages 45. “Muhammad felt the need to improve on the words of Allah, since he changed Allah’s wisdom for his own on several occasions. A hadith tells of the nonchalant emendations of Muhammad:’ On a number of occasions he [a scribe] had, with the Prophet’s consent changed the closing words of verses. For example, when the prophet had said ‘God is mighty and wise ‘ Adbollah b. Abi Sarh suggested writing down ‘Knowing and wise’ and the Prophet answered that there was no objection. Having observed a succession of changes of this type, Adbollah renounced Islam on the grounds that revelations, if from God could not be changed at the prompting of a scribe such as himself. After his apostasy he went to Mecca and joined the Qorayshites.’ Other writers reveal that later Muhammad and his people did go war with the Qorayshites and he personally killed Abdollah. Obviously Abdollah knew too much and Muhammad wanted Abdollah’s knowledge to die with him.”
In conclusion, the Qu ‘ran, which is the foundation for ISIS, is not only a fiction, it’s also a hoax.
It also should be added that since the Qu,ran has been proven to be a hoax ,as seen above ,this exposes the entire foundation of and for ISIS ,which is the Qu’ ran , then this means that the jihadists of ISIS have taken up a stand for a bad cause. To be more clear and specific a very bad cause.
The Bible instructs “Do not stand up for a bad cause.” Ecclesiastes 8:3. [N.I.V.]
Walter Sieruk says
That despicable dangerous and destructive jihad entity, ISIS by encouraging Muslim to engage is arson is very heinously evil.
One of the explanation as to how such totally unconscionable actions 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.

July 26: Islamic State urges US Muslims to ‘monitor well for a place you can set a fire without drawing attention’

We are still suffering from wildfires here–most of these are no doubt lightning strikes and accidents, but having ravening Muslims advocating deliberate arson makes things potentially much worse.

Some people have been arrested in California, Oregon and Nevada for starting the fires.

On 9/11 I lived in Central CA, and a friend of mine and I chatted about how terrorists could create havoc on the entire West Coast ~ so this ATTACK BY HOME GROWN TERRORISTS IS NOT A NEW IDEA, THE BIG SHOCK TO ME IS IT AMERICANS DOING THE WILL OF THE COMMUNISTS! TREASON IS THE BIGGEST PANDEMIC IN THE USA AT THIS POINT!
gravenimage says
Islam is not really “home grown” in the West, though–certainly not the Islamic State,
Walter Sieruk says
Those, vicious and violent jihadists who makeup that jihad entity ISIS are actually encouraging other Muslims to be destructive and deadly as to start fires
Those malice-filled jihadists who make up ISIS are real Muslims. Furthermore, there are some who might, understandably, wonder and then ask “Just how can those jihadists of ISIS, being so very religious , also at the time also be so evil and unconscionable as to encourage arson ?” The answer to that question is found in the Bible.
For the Bible teaches that there are some people who are extremely heartless, cold, callous and dangerous because they have had “their conscience seared with a hot iron.” First Timothy 4:2. [ K.J.V.] In this case of the members of ISIS this “hot iron” is Islam.
