Arson or burning the property of the kafirs, their houses of worship, their seats of learning, universities and libraries is advised by the Koran. The famous libraries of Alexandria in Egypt, Nalanda in India are notorious examples of arson practiced by the followers of Islam.

In recent years, the Moslem army of Pakistan resorted to wide-spread arson of Hindu homes in Dacca and other towns of the then East Pakistan, now Bangladesh. Even some Bengali Moslems were not spared for in the eyes of Moslems, anyone who is against him, can be called a kafir and then such barbaric practices get the blessing of the mullah, the representative of Allah. It is common knowledge that the Iranians call the Iraqis, infidels and vice versa. It is truly ingenious how Allah is made to support anything that the believer wants to do for his own satisfaction.

Arson has primarily been used by the Moslems to terrorise the kafirs and weaken them. There is no other inherent quality in such naked destruction of property. Making the kafirs suffer in itself is a holy duty in Islam.

Arson is used frequently by Moslem fundamentalists in countries where they are in a minority. They often burn trains and buses in the streets to show their displeasure with the infidel government of the majority community.
