I hope it’s not true, but terrorism is a very real possibility:
Islam group urges forest fire jihad

AUSTRALIA has been singled out as a target for “forest jihad” by a group of Islamic extremists urging Muslims to deliberately light bushfires as a weapon of terror.
US intelligence channels earlier this year identified a website calling on Muslims in Australia, the US, Europe and Russia to “start forest fires”, claiming “scholars have justified chopping down and burning the infidels’ forests when they do the same to our lands”.

Australia is lousy with vile islamists, who have been SPECIFICALLY threatening forest arson during the hot, dry Aussie summer (now).
