The Jihadist pirates of Somalia have been acting up. Something needs to be done, but nothing will.The media is sympathetic and Bush and Obambi will not do nothing. If Ethiopia moves against them, they’ll get labeled genocidal. In others words this act of Jihad piracy will continue.

The significance of the latest attacks by Somali pirates
PIRATES do not win every encounter. On the evening of Tuesday November 18th an Indian warship attacked and destroyed a suspected Somali pirate boat in the Gulf of Aden, after the men on board had, reportedly, threatened to blow up the Indian craft. The pirates were said to be armed with guns and rocket-grenade launchers, and some escaped on speed boats. On the same day, however, other pirates in the Gulf of Aden did manage to grab a cargo ship carrying grain to Iran.
The pressure to tackle piracy off Somalia’s coast is growing by the day. The threat to merchant shipping in the region is now greater than it has been for decades. The taking of the leviathan 330-metre Saudi-owned Sirius Star in the high seas fully 450 nautical miles (833km) off the Kenyan coast, on Saturday, shows that all tankers heading to or from the Arabian Gulf and all cargo vessels using the Suez Canal are now at risk from pirates, no matter what course they hold to.
Why are Jihadists allowed to do what they want?
We are not being allowed to see the jihadist angle of the story on CNN and FOX. No one in the media is willing to tackle the pirate nature of jihad. Afterall, Muhammad gained power through the razzia, the (pirate) caravan raid. The act of piracy, an act of brute force of will, cares little whether the vessel is on sea or sand. The Mediterranean Sea Piracy of the early 1800s and the US War against Barbary Pirates was spurred due to the increasing pirate ransom demands for individuals of wealth, combined with the Shariah allowance of Slavery codified into its law which allows and thereby encourages the defilement of the individual rights of American citizens by the opportunism of greed. The act of piracy stands gainst the fundamental ethic of the United States – the selfish earn, the greedy steal. Trade is what is under attack…but look at what is being hijacked – Chinese, Iranian and Russian Cargoes – all flying under random country’s flags in a show of fraud and bribery that stretches throughout the diplomatic offices round the globe. The United States has placed untold sanctions on Iran via the UN embargoes of the past few years, Russia and China as well as North Korea and Venezuela have constantly defied these embargoes. So, the jihadists see unprotected wealth – and go get it – because they know the US is not going to spend its resources to protect Iranian cargoes. Strangely, though, what the pirate spike shows is that due to our desire not to protect the shipping lanes of our adversaries, we have chosen at the same time not to pursue the detection of graft on behalf of our so called allies and their foreign affairs departments to do black market trade with a suddenly desperate source of revenue. At the same time, what it shows is that trade is not dependent on Capitalism – an old species of trade has reared its head – mercantilism. Mercantilism is the old world belief that the amount of wealth in the world was limited due to the scarcity of gold and other precious metals. In the mercantile economy, whoever has the most wealth as a nation, can afford to build the best army, by the best weaponry and thereby expand through war where necessary to meet the needs of its citizens. This economic model was the model of another age – that of Muhammad. Russia, China, Venezuela, North Korea and the 57 OIC nations…have slipped into an age of Mercantilism, all while we were trying to develop trade relations with their strange cultures of collectivism. So, what we are witnessing is what happens when a Capitalist society attempts to build trade relations with Mercantile societies. We are watching the birth of a different breed of war – Modern Mercantile Expansion. In the Islamic frame, Jihad is the pillar which guarantees the perpetual nature of this expansion…because its exemplars – its individual leaders which comprise their Sunna (or morality of good living) were all PIRATES. Take it or make it, that is the question. Capitalists choose to make it in order to earn as the individual right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all men equally under the law begs good men to earn. Mercantilists choose to take it to demonstrate the supremacy of the will of the Nation. The IslamoMercantilist, ie…the Islamic Supremacist, chooses to pirate it to demonstrate the Supremacy of Allah’s straight path…the Supremacy of Submission to Allah’s Will.
The most ironic thing of all is that the reason no one wants to talk about the jihadist slant of the pirates, is because we might have to realize that without Shariah Law, slavery as known in America would not have existed. The Barbary Pirates and other empires of the 18th century accepted the cultural norms of slavery as espoused in the codification found in Shariah Law. The Dutch siezed on this choice to claim the right to defile the rights of another…as did many adventuring minds…and it led to the slave trade that peopled the Americas with slaves. Without Shariah Law’s codification of slavery, America would not have had the same relationship with slavery. The thing we must do as a nation is realize that the moral highground was given to us by the man who emancipated the slaves. Lincoln, through his emancipation proclamation, defeated Shariah Law in principle. For the first time in the history of Man, citizens of a country were given the right to free all of the slaves. It is time for us to learn the clarified lessons of the principles of our forefathers and their failures. We must not kick ourselves for the original sin of our homeland. We must recognize that without slavery, without the white supremacist movement, without the civil rights movement, and now without the diehard protected race movement, we must come to the fundamental conclusion as a people and learn a fundamental truth of our ethical history. That truth is simple – Forced Submission of any man, woman, or child is an act of war upon the entire ethical lessonbook of man’s inalienable rights.
We have a battle on our hands, we are thirty years behind…but we still have time to clarify the terms of our existence on this planet as those who have earned the right to declare independence from Shariah Law and Islamic Supremacy’s particularly virulent jihad – that piratic death cult of Tyranny.
We have to clarify the principles of that battle now. We have to demonstrate the fact that clarity of reason and morality demands liberty and equality for all. We must unite, we men and women of reason. And we must topple the jihad pillar. Its keeps, however, must be seen clearly as debasement and defilement. To overcome such a pillar is to miss it. We must undermine it’s ideological tenets and core doctrines which foster the radicalization of zealots, whose definition of a better world is based on the annihilation of all dissent and all things once free…particularly thought must be silenced in order to guarantee the equality of debasement.
