    Never thought I'd say this but maybe some good use might be found for Islamic Terrorists.

    They seem to have the pirates on the run. They all took off in their fancy cars when they heard the Muslims were hitting town.

    It's about as welcome as a drug lord driving a Head Shop out of business to be honest.

    I thought the Islamists were tolerating the pirates as long as they were only attacking Western ships.

    I remember last year when pirates took a Saudi ship and the islamists demanded it be released or they would attack.

    The worrying thing will be if the Jihadists get their hands on the pirate's Weapons of Mast Destruct¡on.

    Its got nothing to do with Jihad or anything religious, its about money..

    The Pirates had a nice little earner going, nab a few ships, hold em hostage and grab the cash and run back to their safehold on land.. no one can touch em..

    The Muslim extremists see the cash flowing in and want a piece of the pie, or all of the pie if they can get it..

    Nothing changes, all a bunch of hypocrites!! :rolleyes:

    Not the pirates, the Muslim Extremists.. they want money, nothing holy about what they are doing..

    Read the article.. :rolleyes:
    Hizbul-Islam wants to establish Sharia law in Somalia and put an end to the pirate trade in the town, the leader of the insurgents told the BBC.
    But our correspondent says there are reports that this same militant group had earlier tried to strike a deal with the pirates to try to get a share of the profits.

    true.. but there is a recession on, so maybe they can get a cheap deal if they buy in bulk!! I'm sure they are saving a few quid as the rent in Somalia cant be that expensive these days..

    No government means no taxes after all.. :D

    Actually no, I didn't.
    I made my post at the end of an old Somali pirates thread and some mod came along, closed the "necro" thread and created a brand spanking new thread with my post even though it was never intended to be a "thread starting" post.

    So don't blame me.

    I was just punning.
    Don't take it to heart.
