Somali Pirates Living the Good Life of Infidels: Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll

"The influx of millions of dollars in ransoms has changed life in this coastal Muslim community, driving prices up and creating a schism between the pirate haves and have-nots. As piracy ramps up again with the end of the monsoon season, the lifestyle of the pirates — big houses, fast cars and easy drugs — is decried by both religious leaders and ordinary villagers."

"The use of drugs such as cannabis and the drinking of alcohol, sex and other obnoxious misconduct are now becoming common within the pirates, causing social problems," said Sheikh Ahmed, a mosque leader in the town of Galkayo."

"That is what is worrying us, a lot more than the risk they pose to the foreign ships and crew."

See how great it is to pay ransoms to pirates!?!
