"maybe they are a new branch of Islam where ganja is also a sacrament"

Islam has been in the Western Hemisphere ever since African slaves were forced here. Most Islamics went to the Caribbean.

Devoted Muslims don't like any form of substance abuse.

The Muslims I've known abhor anybody who uses their religion to rationalize criminal acts like terror, murder, rape, theft, drug smuggling, pushing, selling, and/or abuse. Many can argue the semantics of Mohamed's true life and message, but that's for another discussion.

Criminals of all creeps of crime make for strange bedfellows. Lesbians hate men and homosexual men don't want anything from women, yet they support each other's vice. Similarly, Islamic terrorists have actively sought Western Hemisphere drug and people smugglers expertise the same way the IRA used Soviet hardware to kill British soldiers and high profile subjects. There's not a damn ideological thing that hard hitting IRA guys like of an atheist (and very anti-Catholic) Stalinist regime, but if it fetches them with cheap Kalashnikovs and packages of Semtex, then their conscience will accept it.

Thus, the war on "terror" will provide free nations with better weaponry and tactics for the war on crime. Already the FAA is upset over local cops using unmanned aircraft to capture criminals, but the lightning bolt (Satan) is plummeting. Bureaucracy won't shield criminal activity, and the Constitution doesn't mention squat about "right to privacy".
