Hi,
Yes, the Moslem world eventually learned to use petrolium-based incindiaries, and used them enthusiastically (even things like one-man flamethrowers and clay 'grenades'). The Arabic word for them is something like "naptha." I'm not sure when different Moslem powers started to use it, but David Niccole's works would probably be an accessable source.

I have not checked this forum frequently since 2013, but I hope that these old posts have some value. I now have a blog on books, swords, and the curious things humans do with them.
