Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts
Israel: Muslim sets Jerusalem motel on fire
The Islamic State in September 2014 exhorted Muslims: “Disperse those behind them wherever you may find them. Rig the roads with explosives for them. Attack their bases. Raid their homes. Cut off their heads. Do not let them feel secure. Hunt them wherever they may be. Turn their worldly life into fear and fire.”
This is not to say that this arsonist was motivated by the Islamic State, but only to illustrate the fact that arson can be and is a tool of the jihad.
