Islamic State media is “encouraging ISIS followers to start wildfires in the U.S. and Europe as a new way of ‘waging jihad.’” Except that it really isn’t new. Three years ago in Israel, 13 Muslims were arrested for arson jihad as fires still raged through the northern port city of Haifa in “acts of terrorism.” And more recently, the Palestinians in Gaza have sent kites fitted out with incendiary devices across the border into Israel and have set fire to thousands of acres of cropland.
The Islamic State is seeking revenge since the death of its caliph Al Baghdadi, and finding creative ways to kill and destroy is all a part of the jihad. Attempt to cast terror into the hearts of disbelievers can come in any form.
“Islamic State Media Encourages Jihadis to Set Forest Fires in U.S. and Europe,” by John Hayward, Breitbart, November 8, 2019:
Quraysh Media, a media organization that supports the Islamic State, is encouraging ISIS followers to start wildfires in the U.S. and Europe as a new way of “waging jihad.”
The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) spotted four posters distributed by Quraysh Media since April containing the (literally) incendiary message to Islamic State devotees, or “monotheists” as Quraysh Media prefers to call them.
Two of the posters included images of American firefighters battling wildfires.
“Ignite fires in the forests of America, France, Britain and Germany, for they are painful to them,” instructed the fourth poster, which was released on Monday.
Various Western media outlets speculated the Islamic State was inspired by the rash of wildfires in California, although there seems to be no clear evidence of this. ISIS has been known to celebrate American deaths in previous wildfires, and has taken credit for setting crop fires in Syria and Iraq.
Quraysh Media is one of the more prominent Islamic State mouthpieces to question whether ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was truly killed by U.S. special forces in a late October raid. Quraysh generally refers to Baghdadi as if he were still alive.
In addition to touching base with its overseas supporters, the Islamic State has been busy convincing affiliated terrorist gangs to renew their oaths of fealty to the new ISIS leader, who works under the alias “Abu Ibrahim al-Hashini al-Qurashi.” His pseudonym, and the name of Quraysh Media, both refer to the tribe Islam’s prophet Mohammed came from….

So destroying the environment is a new way of waging jihad?
Where are the eco-warriors when you need them?
Hull-oh?
Greta Thunberg:will you be speaking out for us?
“This is all wrong.I shouldn’t be up here.I should be back in school on the other side of the Ocean in the islamic republic of Swedenistan learning all about how peaceful islam is,how to wear the Hijab and welcome more islamic immigrants into the paradise of my country……yet you jihadists want to spoil it for everybody..well how DARE YOU,HOW DARE YOU..entire ecosystems are collapsing and all you can think about is your jihad..How DARE YOU”
Come on Greta,wealthy eco-conscious celebrities and ‘woke’ people:Let’s hear you!

This is not new, fire jihad.. if not all the causes they sure do mix it up…. at least I’ve read this a few years ago, it was suggested they watch weather reports for dry windy conditions, then do their very sick dirty work….just notice it was not all trees…..they targeted houses….and let nature do it’s thing. Got that California ? They take advantage foggy night time to take advantage for the
jihadist….also deliberate car collusions. or driving on side walks…..to cause destruction….of the worst kind. In fact a call was made to get CDL licenses to drive large equipment, trucks, buses, and limo’s etc… So all during the California fires I was extremely depressed when I heard they shut off power…how could families they communicate and not have power when they need, it was very sad. The dems, far left and jihad friendlies should research this and prepare, stop the fantasy it is a religion…..that is peaceful toward other”humans” a word they love to say, as if they see anyone else as human….nope. Only to pretend while camera’s are rolling. Very clever.

This is nothing new for Muslims. The Palestinians have been setting fire to Israeli forests and farms — the so-called “Forest Jihad” since the 1980s. One-third of all fires in Israel are believed to have been set by Palestinian arsonists.

The Moslems in Swedenistan will soon be suiting up Greta Thunberg with the full burka and an arranged married to a 57 year old rich Islamic holy man .Moslems get a free pass from the” woke” people of the world on all levels, treat women like sh*t, child abuse ,slavery , murder ,rape , vandalism of churches and temples. Abuse of animals ,abuse of everything around them all in the name of freedom of religion ,an organized cult of violence using terror to get their way. Is Greta Thunberg going to use a row boat or a sail boat to get back to her home land after her world wide “woke” tour? I bet she can walk on water the way the media treats her nonsense.

This is not “new.” Just months ago, fires in Greece that forced many to the beaches in an attempt to stay alive, were arson. Many of the fires that have blazed in the U.S., are started by arsonists.
and months ago, isis was urging and encouraging, moslims in no- moslim-ruled countries to commit arson because of all of the trouble, death and destruction it causes.
Burning kites, balloons and other objects, have been used against Israel for a very long time. In recent months, those actions have been reported numerous times here on JW.
Angemon says
Indeed.
Walter Sieruk says
We may all be sure of terrible reality that the jihadist/ Muslims of ISIS are very serious about arson terror Islamic terror/murder attacks against the America.
Therefore, 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.”

Regarding those ISIS/ Muslim who now the different countries of Western Europe with the intentions of starting arson jihad attacks. As in some of them engage arson and also bombings
One scholar, Johannes Jansen who had thoroughly investigated Islam and Islamic terrorism has even discover that those Muslims, who had entered Europe of behaved in violent and heinous ways, are actually action out what they view and a sacred individual duty of the jihad as by engaging in awful violent criminal action in non-Muslim lands . As Jansen revealed that jihad booklet of Islam, THE NEGLECTED DUTY “contains all the ideological material needed to justify the attacks of 9/11 or any other acts of terror committed to frighten non-Muslims. And he thinks the document explains the criminal behavior of suburban and center –city immigrant youngsters in many European cities; its author clearly ‘sees Islam as license to kill rob and commit arson.’ “ [1]
Nevertheless, many of the apologists for Islam still have that blatant gall , in spite of all the facts of reality, to actually make the claim the Islam is a “peaceful religion.” What a totally false to make that Islam is “a peaceful religion “What Bull! A “peaceful religion” indeed.

Walter Sieruk says
Many jihadist /ISIS Muslims have the Islamic agenda and quest to conquer the nations of the West for Islam. Either “by hook or by crook” [arson or bombs] as in by engaging the violent and deadly “jihad of the sword.”
Likewise part of all this in is by the ISIS Muslim infiltration of the Western countries which is being accomplished by the great number of Muslim migrants who are entering the Western nations and quit a number of them could be ISIS jihadists with arson on the scheming mind,
As a Former Muslim had revealed in his book when he wrote that “there has been large –scale immigration into the West, from Islamic nations…of Muslims who are implacably hostile to the West, have no desire to learn why the West became so rich and tolerant , and certainly have no desire to assimilate. They feel no gratitude of allegiance to their Western host nations; their only obligations are to fellow Muslims.”
The author further clarifies by adding. “The mere presence of so many Muslims in the West had affected the domestic and international behavior of governments, whose foreign policy is dominated by fear of offending their Muslim population ready to riot on the slightest pretext. Those unassimilated Muslims are committed to introducing Islamic laws in the West. , and they are able to do so cleverly exploiting the freedoms created over the centuries by the infidels.” [1]
As for that above statement that the “Muslim population [is] ready to riot on the slightest pretext…” This is valid evidence that the old saying is true .Which is that “Evil is always looking for an excuse.”
On this very important subject another scholar in his book informs the reader that “Islamic involvement in the political process is much more advanced in Europe than in the United States.” and he further makes it known that “Of all the continents of the world, Europe is probably the number one target by Muslim strategists who are seeking world dominance.” [2]

Omg, this a******s don’t respect anything… nature, human life…. I hope one day there will be death penalty in Europe for murderers and terrorists. Prisons are like hotels here, thats why they are not afraid!
Valkyrie Ziege says
; I already suspected as such, with the hundreds of “mysterious origin” fires attributed to random “homeless” in California, in forested areas, and in buildings.
OLD GUY says
This is a WAR set out by Islam to defeat all other forms of religion across the world. Not much different than the plan Hitler had for world domination. The difference is Hitler tried to accomplish his ideology with military strength and invasion of his enemy’s countries. Islam’s leadership knows they can not fight an all out war with the west so they fight through terror and attacks on civilians. They also know our weakness, the world news media protects their civilian population against counter attacks by the west. So the terrorist hides among the women and children, which make it vary hard to capture or kill them without collateral casualties. Until we are ready to fight them on their level they will continue the terror attacks against us.

Islamic State encourages Muslims to set forest fires in US and Europe in “new way of waging jihad”
………………
This does not surprise–Jihadists have called for this before.
FireFox says
Way before even this bit of Islamic insanity, I came to the conclusion that I will never trust any moslem. How can you trust someone whose “god” and “false prophet” commands them to hate you and terrorize and kill you; and lie to you and never to take you for a friend. Could a more horrific ideology ever be conceived? Islam is Satan’s joy.
