CHARLTON — A Lebanese man whose apartment burned in a fire Sunday told police he set the blaze during a failed suicide attempt brought on by his inability to find work because of his first name: Jihad.
But a police report indicates that investigators didn’t believe the story, because evidence found inside Jihad Elias Georges’ apartment at 131 Muggett Hill Road indicated gasoline had been spilled on the floor and a sofa. They said people who commit suicide by fire “usually douse themselves with gas.”
The name Jihad, according to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, can be used to describe “a personal struggle in devotion to Islam, especially involving spiritual discipline,” or “a crusade for a principle or belief.” But in Western culture the word has taken on the negative meaning of “a holy war waged on behalf of Islam.”
Kim Ring of the TELEGRAM & GAZETTE STAFF is a coward and an apologist for Islam, if not blatantly dishonest.
Qur’an.com provides the non-Western explanations for the dhimmis.
According to a police report, Mr. Georges allegedly told investigators from Charlton and the state fire marshal’s office that he spread gasoline in his apartment and used the stove to light a piece of paper to spark the fire, hoping to take his own life.
Instead, the explosion from the fire blew him out the door to safety. He got into his car and drove away as flames poured from his apartment and a neighbor rushed to see what had happened.
That neighbor helped evacuate residents from the other five apartments and later told police that Mr. Georges had to have known his home was ablaze as he drove away.
“The only way the No. 6 tenant could have not known that his apartment was on fire was if he was deaf and blind,” the neighbor told police.
When Mr. Georges returned home, he seemed surprised to find emergency personnel there and claimed to know nothing about the fire, police wrote in their report. He told them he had a $20,000 renter’s insurance policy. His apartment had been destroyed by the fire.
Assistant Fire Chief Curtis Meskus said he and another investigator were suspicious as they and firefighters from several area towns fought the three-alarm blaze. A firefighter smelled gasoline, he said, and he requested help from the fire marshal to investigate.
When Mr. Georges was questioned at the scene Sunday night he told investigators that the only flammable liquid in the house was paint thinner stored under a sink. He said the electrical outlets occasionally spark but he could not think of any other reason for the fire, the police report said.
Later, after a trained sniffing dog indicated that traces of an accelerant were inside the apartment and on Mr. Georges’ shoes and clothing, he was arrested and, police said, he eventually confessed.
At his arraignment Monday in Dudley District Court on a charge of arson of a dwelling, he was ordered by Judge Timothy Bibaud to be held on $5,000 bail and was taken to the Worcester County Jail and House of Correction in West Boylston. He is due back in court July 25.
Read the comments – neighbors were and are terrified and this guy is only held on $5,000 bond? Once commenter rightfully notes:
This guy should get attempted murder for trying to take the lives of the other innocent occupants.

Wanted the insurance money so he set his apartment on fire. Fled the scene with neighbors watching. Came back and lied. Lied to police again. Will lie to the courts. And knowing the idiot judges that we have today, he will go free.
He wants to kill himse;lf then we should help him complete his wish!!! He would be no great loss to society. He should have never come here in the first place!!!
“The name Jihad, according to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, can be used to describe “a personal struggle in devotion to Islam,…”
The key words here are “in devotion to Islam”. What does that mean, exactly? And, how is a Moslem supposed to know what “devotion to Islam” means? Well, he has to read the Koran, the hadiths and Sharia law — and so we get back to definition #1: “holy war waged on behalf of Islam as a religious duty”.
Wha, wha, what? I’m still alive??? Now I can only get the $20,000 renter’s insurance money instead of the 72 whores (Ahemm–I mean, virgins)! Come to think of it, hell, I’ll take the insurance money any day! Now I can get the infidels to pay me instead of the other way around!!!!
inability to find work because of his first name: Jihad.—-> uh liar Muz alert- one may change one’s name easily and legally in USA-
and this POS endangered lives in 5 other apartments to get money- in fact I am sure he was hoping to kill a few kuffar in the blaze while he spent that $$
and Mirriam Webster need to buy a clue- it is not according to the WEST- but according to Quran and ISLAMIC “scholars” that JIHAD does indeed require supporting MILITARY JIHAD- including “death to infidels” with extra bonus ALLAH points for KILLING instead of just financial support
On my Mac dictionary: jihad ~ a holy war undertaken by Muslims against unbelievers.
That will do it for me.
