Wildfires rage in southern Europe and no one is talking "Forest Jihad."
Of course not. It was nearly two years ago that a terrorist website carried the message: "summer has begun so do not forget the Forest Jihad." People forget. Terrorists don't.
The posting, which quoted imprisoned Al Qaeda terrorist Mustafa Setmariam Nasar, said setting forest fires was legal under "eye-for-an-eye" Islamic law.
"Scholars have justified chopping down and burning the infidels' forests when they do the same to our lands," the posting read.
The author of the posting indicated that Nasar (then a resident of Guantanamo Bay - now believed to have been extradited to Syria) was urging terrorists to use sulfuric acid or gasoline to start the fires. -- FOX News
Meanwhile today, thousands of firefighters are battling to bring under control wildfires that are spreading across parts of southern Europe.
The fires, which have destroyed some 4,000 hectares (10,000 acres) of forest and bush, are believed to have been started deliberately, the regional government said.
At least seven people have died in the blazes that have struck Spain, France, Greece and the Italian island of Sardinia including a shepherd who perished trying to rescue his flock. -- BBC News
The equation is simple: Senseless loss of life? Blame jihad.
