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”.

Wow - look at my post above yours. Thanks for the link!!
Meanwhile, the fighterfighter’s union is siding with the enviroweenies....
Interesting bit at the end:
But starting bushfires was still often regarded as less effective than other operations because governments could easily deny terrorism as the cause.
