Good marketing, but lousy economics.
Petroleum is a rather fungible commodity. It is pretty much one market. What you do buy someone else won't. What you don't buy, someone else will. So the terrorists will get their money anyway.
This is also the reason why US "energy independence" is a silly idea.
