This has been a threat for years.
“‘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
“ISIS-linked media: California fires are retribution for Syria,” Preston Business Review, November 15, 2018:
ISIS, the terrorist organization that once controlled vast swaths of Iraq and Syria with its reign of death and destruction, hasn’t directly claimed responsibility for the horrific wildfires in California that have claimed more than 50 lives over the past few days.
But one media outlet known to be in support of ISIS has suggested the jihadist group is responsible.
on Wednesday that Al-Ansar Media is claiming the wildfires are retribution for America’s participation in the civil war in Syria.
Al-Ansar Media is circulating an image that uses a photo of a burning building and misspells the state “kalifornia.”
“O america, This is the punishment of bombing Muslims in Syria,” states the text. “This is Allah’s punishment for you. And in shaa Allah, you will see more fires. Praise be to Allah.”
Islamic jihadists long have threatened to use wildfires as a means of terrorism. WND first reported on such threats more than 10 years ago, and in that William Scott, a former National Security Agency official, said terrorists had been using fire as a tactical weapon.
That year there were some 35,000 fires that burned 3.9 million acres across the U.S. Large blazes were in Idaho, Montana, California, Alaska and other states.
“Perhaps the most simple form of economic warfare is wild land arson,” Scott said in his “Fire Wars” presentation at the time. “That’s just setting fires in U.S. forests [and] grasslands.”
He said that for any terrorists determined “to inflict significant damage with very little investment or risk, fire is an extremely high-leverage weapon of mass effect.”
Scott explained at the time that after U.S. Navy SEALs killed al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden, they “captured a treasure trove of material that provided some unprecedented insight into the al-Qaida plans. And one of those was a detailed campaign for starting fires throughout the [American] West.”
he wrote of the suspicious nature of blazes in the Jewish state.
“Just a day or two after most of us left, a rash of fires terrorized the country,” he wrote. “They weren’t just wildfires that spontaneously ravaged the tinder-dry countryside. Many of them were deliberately set – which is why I call them terror fires.”…
Benedict says
Ask governor moonbeam to bring more of these Muslim migrants into California and watch his state go up in flames. It is the innocent ones who are in harms way.
gravenimage says
There are virtually no Muslims in the region around the horrifying Camp Fire in far northern California–and there are comparatively few Muslims in the state in general. But any number is certainly a danger.
infidel says
But even one pryo Muslim can ignite a huge fire. All U need is that initial spark.
TheBuffster says
The culprit wouldn’t even have to be a resident of California.
Tom says
Perhaps the fires were actually started deliberately. I read that there was an “issue” detected at an electrical sub station at the location where the fires started and within 15 minutes of the “issue” happening the first report of the fire came in.
Coincidence? Maybe. But given that there are so many threats that have come from Muslims and Muslims have been found wandering around infrastructure at night in the past, I wouldn’t dismiss anything at this stage of the Jihad game.
gravenimage says
This is ridiculous, unless you believe that PG&E (Pacific Gas and Electric, the local utility) is deliberately starting wild fires:
“California Utility Customers May Be on Hook for Billions in Wildfire Damage”
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/14/business/energy-environment/california-fire-utilities.html
Arson Jihad is a serious issue and growing threat–but assuming that all wild fires are caused by Jihad–or arson of any kind–shows a lack of understanding of history.
Angemon says
Burned or not, California is still America, whereas bombed IS territory tends to stop being IS territory…
mortimer says
Revenge or retribution is ‘compulsory’ or ‘obligatory’ in the Islamic culture and in Islamic texts and discriminatory Sharia law.
To a Muslim, retribution is not controversial, so Californians should expect Muslims to take vengeance.
Islam is an honor culture and revenge is a natural part of this culture.
FYI says
That’s a bit rich coming from the catastrophic failure that is islamic state which appears to be imploding..
It seems allah the “best of deceivers” k3:54 isn’t much help to his devout followers:Perhaps if it was the Actual God..but that’s the God of Israel and the moslems don’t subscribe to Him.They seem to spend a lot of time killing their own fellow muslims too…
They would rather be deceived by their moslem god allah “the best of deceivers”{who they THINK is the same as the Biblical God but he isn’t!allah is the great deceiver?Geddit?..Nope…}
Hey,where exactly is this great caliphate of yours,sons of perdition?
How come islamic state is such a failure?
{Natural catastrophes always happen anyway.They happen all the time in islamic countries too}
islamic state doesn’t get Irony:It’s sort of like some idiot loitering about at Pompeii 79 AD laughing at the Vesuvius eruption saying “nyah-nyah…haha..you’ll never catch up with m…….”
somehistory says
Are there any moslims working for PG & E?
Sabotage could be the cause. And innocent people suffer. Some of the victims did not get a warning.
This is the type of thing moslims like. Whether or not they actually caused it.

Islamic State: California fires “Allah’s punishment for you. And in shaa Allah, you will see more fires.”
……………………..
God, I hate Islam.
While Muslims likely had no part in starting these fires, they are happy to gloat over the damage and loss of life. And Muslims *have* been caught starting fires in Israel.
Jayell says
What about all the earthquakes, droughts, famines, floods & tsunamis that have hit muslim countries in the past (e.g., not many years ago in Pakistan?). The death tolls amongst muslims must have oustripped the troubles in California if only because of the sheer lack of organisation typical of most muslim countries. Strange that it never seemed to cross their tiny minds that Allah might have had an issue with them!
gravenimage says
True, Jayell. Death tolls from even minor disasters in Dar-al-Islam are typically horrifying, due to lack of organization and a lack of culture of charity and mutual aid.
infidel says
Another Islamic TRUISM from the annals of the infidel:
If I cannot take over the hated property of the infidel, I just want it to be destroyed by the wrath of Allah, If I cannot do it with my own hands, I pray that Allah rains unending disasters on the infidel and his properties and lands. It does not matter whether I’m happy or not.. THE INFIDEL MUST NEVER BE HAPPY!!!
gravenimage says
Yes–this is how Muslims think.
ninetyninepct says
Carbon taxes are a failure. They were supposed to stop fires and floods and hurricanes and snowstorms and have done absolutely nothing.
By the way, do any of those enviro-fascists know what the perfect climate is?
driver says
I’ll tell you that non-Muslim truck drivers throw cigarettes out of their windows in that area that would horrify anyone with a shred of common sense… One of those nasty Somali drivers could easily do worse without anyone taking note.

The Camp Fire is actually raging in a very conservative part of California.
