Nothing New

I am sure most of you have read about the Somali pirates who have boarded a Saudi oil tanker. This might be shocking to some, but this really nothing new...it has been going on for years.

This really is not surprising at all. Somalia is a Muslim country and the Muslims have been pirates of the high seas for hundreds of years. Every hear of the Barbary Pirates? The wiki is a good read and very educational. Many people forget that the US was at war with these pirates in the late 1700's and even wrote up a treaty to end the hostilities.

This is just more proof that we fight a war with radical Islam and it needs to be taken seriously.
