Don't be fooled. Oil is terrorists main source of funding.

Geez.. So Pakistan and Afghanistan have tons of oil, do they??

Money is Money, ya fool!! The Taliban gets it from running "protection" rackets, "taxes", Kidnappings, and facilitating the sale of Opium.

Hell, Bin Ladin's people were also smuggling Honey for $$$, so should we now equate our sweet tooth with terrorism??

And since all muslims are supposed to donate 10% of their annual income as "Zakat", the majority of financing comes from Islamic charities, hence the major crack-down that was implemented around the globe.

The only difference with Oil is that it's a more fungible, and legitimate source of capital for waging Jihad.
