Islam group urges forest fire jihad
Canada Free Press ^ | September 7, 2008 | Josh Gordon

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”.

The website, posted by a group called the Al-Ikhlas Islamic Network, argues in Arabic that lighting fires is an effective form of terrorism justified in Islamic law under the “eye for an eye” doctrine.

the Islamic Crusade is going West.

some Protestant theologians, in their writings, are using the phrase “post-Christian” era – and they mean now?

The current rain will bring lots of new grass in the Spring. That will be tinder dry by July. How will California pay the firefighters in the coming fire season? It's coming whether there is money or not.

Now, we’re not supposed to say these murderers are Muslims, urged on by Muslim clerics. That would be politically incorrect. Report to your left-wing commissar immediately!

I’ve been predicting this for Southern California since 9-11. I’m glad that I’ve been wrong so far.

Too bad Australia has banned guns.

I heard somewhere (can't recall source, sorry) that there was a run on large-diameter PVC pipe right after that law passed. Can't think why.

News reports from Australia state that not all these fires are “natural”
They have been started on purpose.

When will the American populace see Islam for what it really is?

Oh yes, in truth we have been post Christian for some time in terms of lack of belief.

But theologians (Protestant and Catholic) see it not only about belief but more generally the influence that the faith has on society in terms of values, morals, law, culture, politics, music etc....

The left's agenda has been to hasten this ‘brave new world’ where everything is relative and no viewpoint more valid than another.

If there is one thing to be said for Islam - they have never fallen for this liberal lie. Islam has been too ignorant to say ‘yes' to the multi-culti dream, too many Christians have been to effete to say ‘no’ to it.

I’m willing to bet my next issue of the Limbaugh Letter that none of this gets into the mainstream media. Even if it’s proven that the fires were set by members of the Cult of Death.

We can start fires in their countries, too.

Australia hasn’t banned guns. There are strict restrictions on ‘high powered’ weapons (some of which are actually high powered) and handguns and you need the right licences to own them, but there are millions of firearms in private hands in Australia.

Heard that some fires were re-started after the fire fighters put them out.

Arson for sure.

That's good news. A few months back a read an article written by a motorcycle magazine reviewer. He rode across southern Australia on a Suzuki DR650 (like the one I purchased last August). It sounded like a rugged trip. 200 miles between gas stations. Extreme heat. Lots of dead kangaroos on the roadside. He enjoyed his visits to the towns along the way. I hope not too many of them have been destroyed in the fire.

I'm trying to resurrect a contact with a train operator who pulls cars from Perth to Adelaide. There was some interest in some monitoring technology I was showing at the Sept 2003 RSI show in Chicago. The technology is better now and more suited to his requirements. It might be an excellent opportunity to pay a visit down under. Take care!

Round ‘em up and set fire to them.

“Eye for an eye”... and all that.

Even the devil resents such an association.
