MOGADISHU, Somalia – Somalia's increasingly brazen pirates are building sprawling stone houses, cruising in luxury cars, marrying beautiful women — even hiring caterers to prepare Western-style food for their hostages.

But there is a problem; Islam prohibits theft.

While I have no doubt Islamic clerics and radically lol @ our economic troubles I have no doubt that these pirates will eventually be rounded up and beheaded by their Muslim overlords.

Or, perhaps we should just start sinking the ships they seize; when all the fish die off the coast of Somalis from all the spilled oil, they will stop, or die.

Say what you will about Islam. They have little tolerance for crime.

They also don't allow banks to charge interest, something all Westerners should be contemplating as our children are saddled with massive debt to bailout banks.

Not all Somalians are Muslims, so it might not be that big of a problem. lol

Basically every moral code ever known to man prohibits theft. Our children are saddled with more debt paying off indiscriminate defense spending than bailing out banks.

No shit! There is an international presence there (and the US Navy controls many important sea shipping lanes) and it seems like it would be in the best interest of all parties involved to either a) hire private escorts, or b) maintain a serious international presence of force in the region.

But the real reason is that it does not make economic sense at this point to the parties involved, even with ransom and insurance premiums.

And what's going to stop them from invading Somali waters? It's not like Somalia has anything to counter it.

Somalia hasn't had a real government since 1991. I don't think the local warlords are going to care who comes into their waters or not.

ok your right about the government
But it doesn't mean you should take advantage of a nation when they are in their lowest point.

They're pirates. Like they care. They probably understand that the Somalis won't do anything if they go into their waters, hence why they are doing it.

Piracy is a serious crime in Islam.

Since Ethiopia, with the help from US, invaded Somalia and removed Islamic Courts Union, piracy became serious business. For the whole world

Make fun of India all you like. They are on course to become a major world power.

At the OP
So its not the power vacuum, lack of government. Tribal issues. Interference by the international community. Poverty. Desperation. Ethiopia Invading. Lawlessness. Country is split in two.................. Its Islam. Gotcha.

ATG. You talk like there is some kind of Powerful Islamic government operating in Somalia who should be able to crack down on these pirates. The country is split down the middle. Don't forget, the US supported Ethiopia when she went into Somalia to prevent the Islamic Courts coming to power. Now when the Islamic Courts aren't dealing out Justice you complain. Maybe if Ethiopia and the US had let Islam take hold in Somalia the type of justice you are talking about might be dished out. You can't blame Islam when the Islamic courts where prevented from taking power.
