Because the fire started in the spire, and it's REALLY hard for civilians to get to the spire, especially when carrying the amount of accelerant needed to catch it on fire AND do it so surreptitiously that none of the workers notice what's going on until it's too late.
Occam's Razor and all that, considering the most obvious perpetrator, who tends to use simple devices and big badda booms when they do shit.

I did not see that yet. I was cooking and eating dinner.
Did you hear it or read it? You remember where you saw it? I'd like to read it.

Occam's Razor is lie.

Occam's Razor is a process of thinking/problem solving. It uses the odds to get to the most likely solution. Saying it is a "lie" is like saying that the Red/Black bet on Roulette is a "lie" because of the Green 0's.
Additionally, your failed attempt to deflect away from my point that getting into the spire with the amount of accelerant needed for that blaze, without credentials, into a crowded active work area, and no one stops them even while they set the blaze, and run away without anyone seeing them, well, it sort of fell flat.
Now, regradless of your opinion of the principle of Occam's Razor and its efficacy in problem solving, do you care to address the issues?
In case you got lost, there were 2:
1) Hard to get to spire, especially when carrying enough accelerant into an active worksite
2) Muslims generally like things to go BOOM, and use very simple and basic tools to do so.
