#3 Hummm... : gold + diamonds + opium + local fingers in various traffiking (from drugs to counterfeiting, to arabian wild honey or arabic gum)... plus of course, the never-ending money from muslim charities, and generous arab millionaires, and probably monnies from various intelligence (iran, pakistan???). Looks realistical?

#5 If they are so rich, why were they begging Al Qaeda in Iraq for money not so long ago? The opium trade belongs to the Taliban; what odds they'd give over the loot they worked so hard for to a bunch of free-loading Arabs?

Why spend your own money, if you can get some sucker to buy it for you?

#7 See WAFF.com > MUSLIMS PRPEPARE TO TAKE OVER EUROPE FROM WITHIN; + NEPAL's MAOISTS: PURISTS OR PRAGMATISTS. More popularly known as "Iff You can't kill 'em, join 'em" [or marry them, then kill 'em]. Iff Fascists = Limited Communists, Capitalists = Limited Socialists, etc. IS THE TALIBAN = "MTV" AL QAEDA???

Lest we fergit, "ASSASSIN'S MACE" + ANTI-US "LOCAL/WAR ZONE" STRATEGEMS > GREATEST FOCII = MEDIUM FOR VICTORY REMAINS EMPHASIS ON SUBJECTIVE OR SURREAL POLITICAL AND INFORMATION WARFARE, NOT COMBAT OR EVEN HI-TECHNOLOGIES, ETC.

E.g. TOPIX/IRNA/OTHER > WORLD IS SEEING THE RISE/ADVENT OF NEW REGIONAL POWERS, as due in part to [anti-US/Western?]Local Nationalism, Ethnicism, Regionalism, etc.

Just sayin'.
