You know, if they don't actually tax muslims (only rely on Jizya) and have hard currency, they'll likely take over the entire region.

UPDATE: Ron Paul responds. I'd still fall more on the side of the Bin Ladenites seeing that using gold could indeed help in their strategy to resist and ultimately break the west. Considering how Ron was the man who dared to talk of blowback and what OBL himself stated as the motives for 9/11, I'm not surprised they ran into Ron Paul.
