Sounds like these guys have given up on their original political goals and become a gang of bandits.  In which case they are a problem for the Filippino police.  So who gives a shit really?  What country doesn't have criminal gangs?  Also maybe al Qaeda would like to assert a little discipline here.  These guys are supposed to be concentrating on the Caliphate, not going into business to make their next million.  They need to be taught a lesson.

That was a little joke on my part.  The Al-Sayaf bandidos are slacking off from the original al Qaeda goals, including the Caliphate, and need a lesson from the real al Qaeda, who might be a little pissed off at finding entrepreneurial spirit in Jihadis.  Traditional lessons seem to take the form of beheadings.

  The entire Al Queda is funded illeagally kidnaping is nt confined to Abu Sayeff and smuggleing gems is more the profit in Africa.

Blackmail , misdirection of charity funds , money laundering etc...

Al Queda is a lot like a criminal enterprise.

Through out.

The funding of an enterprise does not make it criminal.  Revolutionary communism was funded by bank robberies.  Stalin was a bank robber for the Revolution.  By its very definition, revolution is a crime against the established order, why should it recognize property rights deriving from the legal system of the very government it wishes to overthrow?  Did the American Revolutionaries recognize the property rights of the British merchants who owned the tea dumped in the Boston Harbour?

No one was aggrandised by the Tea Party.

Stalin is hardly a good example to follow, he never quit being a robber.
