How the Online Gambling Ban Aids Al Qaeda
Summary
The US government justified banning online gambling by claiming it supported terrorism, including groups like Al Qaeda. Yet, does this ban actually benefit or hinder these organizations?The Reality of the Ban
While it's possible that groups like Al Qaeda could use online casinos to fund their operations, the ban on online gambling doesn't necessarily thwart them. In fact, it may inadvertently aid them.
Impact on Legitimate Operators
Before the ban, most of the money spent on online gambling went to publicly owned British operators. However, once the American Congress passed the ban, these companies quickly withdrew from the US market due to fear of repercussions.
Who Benefits Now?
Although legitimate operators exited, online gambling continues. This means that less reputable operators, which could potentially be fronts for organizations like Al Qaeda, now capture the substantial online wagers once handled by more reliable companies.
Questioning Government Rationale
Some experts argue terrorists profited by owning shares in publicly traded casinos. If this is a valid concern, the same logic could apply to companies like Microsoft or Google. Should these also be banned?
It's time for Americans to demand honest and logical explanations from their elected officials.
Taking Action
If you're frustrated by misleading information, you can take action. Jim Nickogoski has created a webpage, [Angry Online Gambler](http://www.myspace.com/angryonlinegambler), to fight the Online Gambling Ban. The website hosts a petition where you can voice your opposition and urge the government to repeal this unfair law.
Collaborating for a Solution
The most effective way to prevent online gambling funds from supporting terrorism is to work with casinos to regulate the industry through licensing. This regulation should ensure transparency about where your money is going. Only with this oversight can we protect our troops and uphold the American way of life.
Make Your Voice Heard
Write to your senators, congresspeople, and even the President, expressing your disagreement with the law and demanding concrete evidence that it is truly beneficial. A repeal of this ban could demonstrate that Americans understand the futility of prohibition. History shows us that banning something seldom eliminates its demand.
In conclusion, reversing this law is likely. The government may eventually realize what many Americans already know: prohibitions fail to work, and even with proof of terrorist involvement, people will continue to gamble online. It's simply human nature.
