Arson has long been part of the jihadi arsenal: “‘Unleash Hell’: New Al Qaeda magazine describes in detail how to start huge forest fires across the U.S..with instructions on how to make ’ember bombs’” — Daily Mail, May 3, 2012
“2 Arab Israelis charged with arson,” Times of Israel, December 15, 2016:
An Israeli court ordered the arrest of two Arab Israelis charged with arson on Thursday.
Suleyman Ben Tawfiq Mahameed and an unnamed minor, both from the northern Arab-Israeli town of Umm al-Fahm, are alleged to have attempted to start a large forest fire in the area of the nearby town of Mei Ami on November 25.
After lighting some bushes on fire near the entrance to the town, the two got in their car to leave the scene, but were spotted by the town’s security coordinator, Tom Dahan, and volunteer security guard Chai Shalem, who were patrolling the area. The two tried to chase after the suspects in their car, but they sped off, according to a statement published by the Haifa District Court.
The court on Thursday accepted a request from the state prosecution to arrest the two.
The fire spread to cover an area of 290 square meters (3,120 square feet), and was eventually put out by seven firefighting teams and four firefighting jets.
There were no reported casualties.
The incident came at the tail-end of a wave of fires that ravaged Israel between November 18 and November 26, many of which are believed to have started from arson.
According to Fire Services spokesman Yoram Levy, there were over 2,000 brush fires during this period, with 39 of them considered to be major. Fifty of the fires are currently being investigated as potential arson attacks.
In all, at least 35 people were arrested in connection with the fires but almost all of them have since been released….

When certain anomalies occur on a huge scale one can be sure it has something with Moslems to do.
Take rape, for instance, harassing women has been around for some time but on the scale seen in Germany and Sweden are unpresidential. And a closer view at statistics shows not surprisingly that muzzies are the culprits.
Angemon says
Even before the “migrant crisis” of 2015-16, muslim “migrants” were disproportionally represented in German crime statistics.
Bright Star says
Islam has always been intolerant, murderous, conquesting, misogynistic and violent.
It has nothing to do with Israel, American foreign policy, or anything other than the severely armoured, warrior-nomad character structure and ideology which was incorporated into Islam by its war-lord founder, Mohammed.

Very true, Bright Star.

And I thought that was the religion of Peace Moslems are the biggest haters on the planet & the most Demonic.

I have confidence that Israel can dig out all these islamic moles hiding under the guaranteed safety of the benevolence of that nation. These mean creatures bite the hand that feeds. This is islam. Israel is too good a land for these traitors to put up.
Israel has the strength to survive the vile Arab criminal wickedness and teach them a lesson always.
We, as Indians, can understand the pangs of Israel.
We stand in sympathy with Israel .
ALWAYS!!!!!

I still content that they aren’t teens and they likely aren’t Americans either.
Dave says
Correct
If you sitting in your tree stand and see muzzies starting fires, fire!
Ed Lee says
For the last 10 years I have thought that many of the forest fires in the San Gabriel mountains north of Los Angeles have been set by Islamic terrorists. About 2 years ago, there were several fires in the mountains all the way from San Bernardino to Sylmar. While those fires were being fought by thousands of firefighters from the U.S. Forest Service and local cities and counties, a major structure fire was started somewhere in Hollywood. I think the jihadis are testing, to determine how many fires it takes to overwhelm our fire fighting capability. Once they make that determination, they can set many more fires, in town, that they know cannot be responded to, and will inflict maximum damage.
Ashley says
You paint a very frightening and plausible scenario, Ed.
Terrorism by wildfire would indeed be an effective means to bring a country to its knees. Simply drop a match. No need to drive a truck into a crowd, blow yourself up, or dick around with pressure cookers.
EYESOPEN says
Yep. Just another form of “economic jihad”.
dumbledoresarmy says
Think of the car-burnings in France.
Think of the economic burden imposed by the insurance costs, and the costs to the car owners, in sheer inconvenience, loss of property, the hassle of trying to *get* insurance (and what if they’re not insured to start with)?

I agree Ed Lee, but never a word in the press about the possibility, it happens in Europe, and they have been silenced to speak….it happens here with free press and not one word about the publications that give out instructions, and when to act during a drought and tankers trains rolling mysterously and blows up …..do they look for tampering and if they find it what will be the excuse. Russia hack?
underbed cat says
The migration of the doctrine into the U.S. as peaceful…and threats of criminality to speak was effective dawa…and allowed the potential problems to expotentially grow. Americans are stressed..that along with the wars that destablize countries…it is very sad.
David, Thailand says
It seems part of a society’s ‘civilising’ process is to lower its defences against rogue nations and dysfunctional ideologies.

Damn savages. I’m glad that they were caught, and that there were no casualties–this time.
