I wonder if you guys will be thinking up cute retorts while you watch your loved ones' houses/cities burn.

I'm sure people who lose their houses in Western wildfires would greatly prefer to think that they're victims of Muslim terrorism instead of random acts of nature or assorted imbeciles, but the fact remains that a great many people now live in areas that for tens of thousands of years have naturally, repeatedly, burned in massive fires.

Wildfires were actually a greater problem in the past. Today when there are fires out in the west, people try to contain them and put them out. 200 years ago when lighting started a fire no one could do anything and the fires naturally burned themselves out.
