Not so fast...
As much as you'd like it to be a Muslim plot to burn down the world, it's not. Just stupid kids with fireworks.
"For the people who want to read the paywalled source story from the daily tele
Western Sydney teen Fadi Zraika — one of the two teens accused of lighting a grass fire at a Guildford park while bushfires ravaged NSW — laughed outside court today after appearing on multiple charges.
Police allege Fadi and Abraham Zreika, both 18, set off fireworks that sparked a grass fire at Bright Park, Guildford, on December 22.
Police were called to the park about 2.40pm after reports of several loud explosions and saw fireworks exploding and several small grassfires that spread rapidly in sudden winds.
The Rural Fire Service doused the fires.Zraika, of Villawood, and Zreika, of Merrylands, were arrested at a fast food restaurant in Merrylands.
Zreika was charged with negligent handling of explosives, passenger not disclose driver’s identity, and custody of a knife in a public place.
Zraika was charged with negligently handling explosives to cause damage and for failing to disclose the identity of a driver.
They did not enter pleas for the string of offences.
At Parramatta Local Court today when Magistrate Tim Keady asked Zraika what his response to the allegations were, he said he preferred to wait for his lawyer, who was on holiday.
When asked outside court the pleas they expected to enter, Zreika’s barrister Dennis Stewart said the courts would deal with the matter before adding: “He’s 18 years of age, leave him alone.’’
His co-accused, Zraika, laughed when approached by the media before filming reporters with his mobile phone.
The matter will return to Parramatta Local Court on January 21.
So no there was no ISIS arsonists, just teens playing with fireworks."
Note the 'omission' of an important line in some articles.

Don't fall for the outrage bait."
And finally...
"Bright Park in Guildford is just a normal grass park and they set them off by lighting fireworks on the grass. There’s no trees or bush land around that park. If you wanted to light a bush fire, or even an out of control fire, you 100% would not do it there.
They’re stupid idiots but hardly terrorists.
There’s also no evidence that they are Muslim either.
It’s clearly an article written by people with an agenda to spark outrage and anger by misrepresenting the information.
I’m sure there are a few Muslims in Australia that might want to commit terrorist acts, clearly with the amount arrested for terror related crime but this article is not an example of that at all."
you really need to stay more informed and get out of your box way of thinking. maybe you and others like you really don't understand evil, what it is and what it does, or just maybe you emotionally/mentally can't handle the thought of pain and distraught brought on by evil , so you deny it like so many others to your own destruction.
https://ctc.usma.edu/fire-as-a-weapon-in-terrorist-attacks/On September 11, 2012, the first murder of an American ambassador since 1988 took place in Benghazi, Libya. Although firearms, IEDs and military ordinance were used, it was not bullets or explosives that killed the U.S. ambassador, but rather smoke from an arson fire. During the attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, which killed four Americans,4 terrorists reportedly linked to Ansar al-Shari`a and al-Qa`ida in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) used fuel from jerry cans to start a fire in the main villa, where Ambassador Christopher Stevens was sheltering in the designated location with two members of his diplomatic security detail. As the three men attempted to escape the untenable atmosphere—filled with choking, blinding smoke—the ambassador was separated from the one member of the detail who was able to escape through a window. Unfortunately, Ambassador Stevens and the other agent did not follow. Similar to 9/11 and Mumbai, the world was left with another image of a building ablaze during a terrorist attack. Following this incident, similar arson attacks took place days after Benghazi against the UN Multinational Force in the Sinai Peninsula as well as at the U.S. Embassy in Tunis, Tunisia.
While successful attacks are instructive, it is equally important to study unrealized terrorist plots as they reveal a great deal about adversary intentions, motivations, target selection and desired tactics.
– Arriving in the United States from the United Kingdom, al-Qa`ida operative Dhiren Barot carried out reconnaissance for terrorist attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C. Part of his research focused on exploiting building vulnerabilities, including gaps in fire protection. He determined that he could cause significant damage to the Prudential Building in Newark, New Jersey, and the Citi Corp Building in New York by ramming a loaded gas tanker truck into the lobby and then igniting the fuel.
– Another al-Qa`ida operative, Brooklyn-born Jose Padilla, determined that a “dirty bomb” attack might be too difficult to execute, so instead he planned to set wildfires, as well as ignite high-rise buildings by damaging the gas lines in apartments.
– An al-Qa`ida cell in the United Kingdom researched means to disable fire suppression systems to increase the impact of a plot that was ultimately disrupted by authorities.
In May 2012, FDNY began collaboration with a group from the U.S. Army that specialize in rapid solutions to current and anticipated problems on the battlefield. As with the FBI, a series of meetings, training modules and tabletop exercises led to the group’s February 2013 “Red Team” paper on Fire and Smoke as a Weapon, envisioning a Mumbai-style attack in a hypothetical Manhattan office building in an attempt to gauge emergency responder preparedness related to this novel attack method.
After the Benghazi attacks, the Department of State’s Diplomatic Security Service leveraged the FDNY to provide advice to its high-threat response team—the Mobile Security Deployment. Diplomatic Security Service agents were briefed on the most critical features of fire as a weapon. Agents were then put through firefighting training at the FDNY training academy, including extrication of fortified vehicles and a walk-through exercise of a Mumbai-style scenario.
Finally, the FDNY has worked closely with the London Fire Brigade on counterterrorism measures since the 7/7 bombings in 2005. In preparation for the 2012 Olympics, FDNY discussed with London’s fire service and the Metropolitan Police Service possible response scenarios to active shooter attacks involving fire in multiple locations.

According to a recent threat assessment conducted by the National Ground Intelligence Center, the use of incendiaries in battle dates back to biblical times.
