Don't recall commenting on funding the jihad, craig--here or elsewhere. Not a smart thing to do here. People have ended up in prison as a result. And I don't know that "a bunch" of it is done here. There are plenty of wealthy Muslims in other places where they're less likely to get in trouble with the law if they donate.

But if they all paid attention to the late Bin Laden and to ISIS, they'd all be joining up. They'd all be killing Americans, wherever and however they could--which Osama said was their duty. Which goes to show that not all that many of them--especially here--really believe it's their duty. Some people who don't understand Islam put joining the jihad in the same category as fasting during Ramadan, or the daily prayers. If that were really the case, we'd have WAY more jihadis to deal with here.
