Is it a coincidence that Tribute was why the U.S. foghut Muslim priates in the past? Infidel ships passing through Muslim waters owed them money.
Pirates do not have uniforms, do not have the support of any government,
do not carry their arms openly, prey on civilians.Priates use military weapons and tactics.
Sounds a lot like the Islamic terrorists that we see and hear so much about today.
