A twisted Queens firebug was busted for allegedly hurling Molotov cocktails at two Queens churches late Wednesday – part of what prosecutors believe was a disturbing seven-incident spree. 

Yogesh Sayrange, 36, – who ranted like a madman in federal court on Thursday – admitted to tossing fiery projectiles at the Iglesia Bautista El Mesias church in Ozone Park, and the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses on in Woodhaven, along with other locations, according to cops and the feds.

“Yea, I f–king firebombed them,” Sayrange allegedly told investigators about a separate bombing of a deli, adding with out explanation: “They’re Muslims, scum and terrorists.”

He he continued his manic, nonsensical rantings as he was hauled into Brooklyn federal court Thursday for arraignment on charges of allegedly tossing another makeshift device at a smoke shop on Fulton Street while wearing a distinct Guy Fawkes mask last week, prosecutors said. 

“You’re protecting them, you dumb c–t,” Sayrange seethed at prosecutor Ashlyn Miranda. “I’m saying it to this retard here.”

“The government is a criminal syndicate,” he added as the marshal’s handcuffs clicked behind him.

By Thursday, he only faced official charges in the smoke shop crime – but prosecutors say they suspect that he is involved in seven total arsons dating back to June. 

Police recovered two additional Molotov cocktails from the suspect's bag.

Sayrange also allegedly confessed to the June 25 deli arson, identifying himself both with and without the eerie face covering, according to the feds, who are still probing him for all the alleged firebomb attacks.

But the accused arsonist vehemently proclaimed his innocence in court – snapping at Magistrate Judge Lara K. Eshkenazi, who simply asked him if he understood his rights.

“I don’t stand under you, you stand under me,” Sayrange barked. “You’re making false accusations and asking ‘do I agree with you?” No I don’t.”

Sayrange – a Guyanese citizen who is considered “unauthorized” in the US because his childhood arrival protection expired – was ordered held without bail.

“It’s all fake,” he snapped when prosecutors explained the risks he poses if not held.

“They’re not members of the community, they’re criminal cartels,” Sayrange ranted. “They’re foreign enemies.”

He also directed his rage at prosecutor Ashlyn Miranda.

“Do you want this institution to be turned into a mosque?” Sayrange strangely asked before tossing the cocktail, according to the feds.

The bottle exploded and started a fire as the suspect calmly walked away, the footage shows.

He walked less than a mile to the Jehovah’s Witnesses building and firebombed the building’s front door, which again smashed and sparked a blaze.

FDNY doused the flames at both locations, which were closed, and no serious damage or injuries were reported, cops said.

Investigators later learned that around the same time, the suspect lit a third Molotov cocktail and threw it at an ambulette services building on Rockaway Boulevard near 77th Street in Woodhaven, police said.

Police said no damages or injuries were reported in both incidents.

 No damages or injuries were reported at that location either.

The suspect was located by police — who found two additional Molotov cocktails in his bag, prosecutors said. 

“I had two more in my bag — I was going to finish the job,” he confessed, according to the feds.

He was taken into custody around 12:10 a.m. Thursday, according to police.

Investigators believe Sayrange mostly targeted houses of worship during his spree that began last month – but commercial locations were also hit, according to law enforcement sources.
