Oh wait I guess there have not been that many 'Christian Pirates'? OK, I think I have got it now. "Onward Islamic Pirates'. There, I think that describes it better? Hurry we need more of them in every leadership position around the entire world. Then it will be sooo much safer... Onward “Christian Pirates’, Marching as to War”.

Islam and Muhammad's career was revived and then took off in Yathrib (Medina)after an inauspicious start in Mecca where he apparently only had about ten converts. At Yathrib he tried a different tack. He had his sock puppet deity, "Allah," "reveal" to him that he was to engage in robbery of the caravans, and this helped him to recruit the youngest, disinherited sons of Arab families and the criminal elements in that community. The lure of booty, women, the chance to murder people, and the promise of an afterlife paradise all bulked up his following. Piracy and robbery are firmly rooted in the oldest traditions of Islam and follow from Muhammad's example. The Muslim pirates of Barbary had a lot of success for years obtaining the jizya from the United States and other nations. After he got up to speed about Islam, Thomas Jefferson strongly clashed with his friend John Adams, who wanted to continue paying the jizya while Jefferson wanted to end it. When Thomas Jefferson took office he gave the Muslim pirates the cold, hard steel. The piracy off the Horn of Africa is just another form of jihad, with the pirates feeling entitled to collecting the jizya. What should be done? I think you know where I stand on the issue, but others will see through the prism of their own understanding of what is happening there. I recommend more Americans wake up and take Jefferson's lack of intellectual sloth seriously. Jefferson would find the intellectual sloth of our elites scandalous.

I rather doubt the piratical vessels are up to absorbing a hundred round belt of armor-piercing and armor-piercing incendiary. Or maybe a 20 mm if you want to go fancy.

Probably a security corporation hired by shipping and insurance companies. We can all stand idly by as this company bombs the "city" of Eyl to rubble as an example for other muslim pirates. Of all the problems in this world, two stand out prominently, one is the islamic crime syndicate and the other is governments that won't perform their basic function of providing common security. If these twin problems are not addressed the result will be the collapse of nation-states and chaos. We better demand that government do it's job or our grandchildren will face a bleak future.

I think we should advance these pirates all the rights they deserve. Rights of Pirates You have the right to experience Naval Gunfire. You have the right to expect a short drop with an abrupt stop. You have the right to take an attorney with you. Take two, they’re cheap. You have the right to feed an endangered shark in person. You have the right to discover God. Personally and quickly.

Rights of Pirates
You have the right to experience Naval Gunfire.
You have the right to expect a short drop with an abrupt stop.
You have the right to take an attorney with you. Take two, they’re cheap.
You have the right to feed an endangered shark in person.
You have the right to discover God. Personally and quickly.
You have the right to become an example to your friends as “What Not To Do”
