Oil and terrorismReader comment on item: Saudi Scholar Nixes Biofuels as Un-Islamic Submitted by Janusz Kowalik (United States), Mar 2, 2009 at 14:17 Every worldwide action including terrorism requires funding. and the only significant source of money for the extremist Islamic movement is oil.The logical conclusion is that the world has to undercut the economic basis of terrorism by reducing or eliminating oil consumption.This would convinnce moderate Muslims that terrorism is a wrong strategy for Islam and would reduce the ability to recruit, train and arm terrorist organizations. Military antiterrorism defensive or offensive effort s are also required but the most significant tool is the economic blow to the only significant financial foundation of terrorism, the oil.
