How the Online Gambling Ban Unintentionally Supports Al Qaeda
Summary
The ban on online gambling in the USA was justified with claims that it supports terrorism, including groups like Al Qaeda. However, does this ban actually hinder or aid these groups?Article Body
While online gambling platforms may potentially be used by groups like Al Qaeda to fund their activities, the ban on online gambling in the USA doesn't necessarily thwart them; in fact, it might benefit them.Here's how: Prior to the ban, most funds spent on online gambling went to reputable, publicly owned British companies. However, when the American Congress enacted the ban, these companies ceased operations in the USA due to fear of legal repercussions.
Despite the ban, online gambling persists, but the revenue now flows to less reputable entities. These smaller, less-regulated casinos, which previously operated under the radar, are now capitalizing on the billions still being wagered online. These are precisely the operations that could serve as fronts for groups like Al Qaeda.
Some argue that terrorists capitalized on publicly traded casino stocks, but if that's the case, they likely invest in giants like Microsoft or Google as well. Should those be banned too?
Once again, it seems the American public has been misled by elected officials. It's crucial for citizens to demand clarity and accountability from their government representatives?"after all, they serve at the behest of the people.
For those fed up with these misleading justifications, there is a call to action. Jim Nickogoski, the creator of the [Angry Online Gambler](http://www.myspace.com/angryonlinegambler), has launched a webpage dedicated to opposing the online gambling ban. It includes an online petition for those who disagree with this law and demand its reversal.
To prevent online gambling funds from inadvertently supporting terrorism, the government should collaborate with online casinos to implement industry regulations and licensing. This transparency ensures that funds aren't funneled to groups jeopardizing national security and the American way of life.
You can make a difference by voicing your concerns: write to your senators, congress members, and even the President. Demand evidence proving that this ban serves the nation's best interest.
Ultimately, this law is likely to be repealed. The government will eventually recognize what many Americans already understand: prohibitions rarely succeed. Even if there were solid evidence that some online casinos were linked to terrorism, the allure of the forbidden would still entice participation. This behavior is simply part of human nature.
