We need to give them many more reasons for “vengeance.” The idea that the pirates would actually seek vengeance against a major power who stops a raid or two is a strong indication that their motivation is a lot more than mere piratical gain. These fellows are Moslem and part of the Jihad or rapidly becoming so. The Barbary pirates were also and explicitly engaged in Jihad.
true that most of them (or maybe all of them) have muslim faith. but i would not consider this guys terrorists. they are criminals yes but i don´t think they are political motivated. all they seem to care is the money, (they attack all kind of ships including ships owned by muslim countries).
Punk gangstas who happen to be Muslim. They know the odds are they can get by with it. Next time, when the Navy arrives “a few hours later”, they might find dead sailors and then what?
