Al-Qaeda, HizbAllah and others have been involved with cigarette smuggling. From the Times Union, with thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist:
ROTTERDAM -- State Police rounded up 20 men in Rotterdam Wednesday night on felony conspiracy charges related to a cigarette smuggling ring, according to authorities....One of the men, Elhadi Abdalla, 42, of 180 Lark Drive in Albany, has a history of marijuana convictions and faces extradition to his native Sudan, according to records from federal district court in Buffalo....
In Wednesday night's arrests, Abdalla was charged with fourth-degree conspiracy.

Abdullah Alawaqi, 62, of 1572 Second Ave. in Manhattan, was charged with fourth-degree attempted criminal possession of stolen property. Hashim Mohammed, 41, of Crane Street, Schenectady, was charged with trademark counterfeiting.
Herein lies the problem;
Because of the criminal nature of jihad itself, the justification of criminal acts to support jihad become second nature. Crimes against infidels not really being crimes of course. A slavemaster cannot steal from his slaves.
Hey, we are all Marlboro men. Just a bunch of heavy smoking guys looking for some fun.
This ring was obviously a gang of Mexicans working hand in hand with the Quakers. Something has to be done to stop this!
Is anyone surprised??. This type of activity has been going on for 1400 years; since prophet Mo started raiding the caravans in Mecca. He set a good example for all future followers how to live without working. If you cannot rob then get on the 'dole' and live off the infidels in the west.
Some of the towns mentioned above are close to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, the oldest technical college in the United States. I wonder if any of them are students.
