not all terrorist groups are muslim, and not all muslim groups are oil funded.
The only terrorists threatening the US and the UK are Muslim.
Everything and everyone in the Middle East outside of Israel is
funded by oil. They have no other industry or source of income. The
whole area of about a dozen nations combined (excluding Israel) has
an industrial GNP smaller than Finland.
. . . drugs funds a lot of them as well, and some are funded through
other, not oil businesses.
Drug dealers do not want to disrupt society.
In any case, if the oil money is cut off, the Middle Eastern
societies which today breed terrorism would be so caught up in their
own internal crisis, they would have no energy left to bother us. If
they deal with the problem correctly they will soon be as wealthy as
Japan was after it recovered from the devastation of World War II.
Or, if they choose to continue down the path of nihilism they will
soon be a basket case worse than the most desperate nations of
sub-Saharan Africa. There are no terrorists coming from Mali or Tanzania.
