There's an Al Jazeera video linked to the one you posted, with a barely-decipherable spokesman from The Mombasa (Kenya)-based “East African Seafarers’ Assistance Programme” that seems to be the middleman for the pirates.

As near as I could make out, he was blaming the piracy on a history of foreign "fishing vessels" stealing Somalia's fish, as well as gun-running by foreign ships in Somalian waters.

So, you see, it's all good, and just and noble. I think Obama, who blames everything on Western colonialists, and nothing on the perpetually downtrodden and self-pityingly victimized indigenous people of color, would agree.

Oh, and Eyl is a pile of rubble, it appears, but they're moving on up -- to Nairobi -- with their pirate money...

Piracy is normal in Islam and ins’t looked down on. It is considered a legitimate business when the infidel is the victim. In fact the pirates hold themselves out as devout Muslims and requested all Muslims pray for them since they were up against the Unites States
