BBC News reminded us of the early history of the U.S. Navy and Marines. The modern Navy was created via the Naval Act of 1794 in response to the savage pirates of the Barbary Coast, what is now Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya. These pirates were named the Barbary Corsairs. The U.S. Marines added a line to their anthem to celebrate the event: "to the shores of Tripoli."
France colonized Algeria and much of North Africa, but after WWII Algerians and other North Africans wanted their independence. Algeria eventually won its war against France, fought during 1954 to 1962. The war was brutal and savage, with suicide bombings and other non-conventional tactics.
The Battle of Algiers, a movie made on the subject of that war, included many realistic scenes. This movie is still used today as a training device by the U.S. military regarding counter-insurgency. One scene involved three Algerian Muslim women who removed their Islamic sacks and changed to European-style clothing, allowing them to pass through French security barriers and plant bombs which killed scores of people.
Some things never change: this tactic of using supposedly religious clothing when it suits Muslims continues today, only now even men use Islamic sacks to fool infidels.
The father of that war, Yacef Saadi, told BBC News: "There were battles everywhere. Attacks even in the sleepiest suburbs, first to take their weapons and then to fight them."
These tactics continue today, but today's Islamic "freedom fighters" believe that the entire world is their battleground, not to mention lebensraum, and therefore they see nothing wrong with sending planes into American buildings, loading vehicles with explosives in NYC and Stockholm, and exploding bombs on trains in Madrid and London.

None of the above events are contrary to Islam. As Raymond Ibrahim said before Congress (read here and here), war is deceit. Any action is allowable for Muslims to defend Islam, including temporarily denying their faith to infidels.
Contrast this attitude to that of early Christians who died in great numbers, often in arenas with wild beasts and gladiators, because they refused to deny their faith.
Muhammad himself preached "If you ever take an oath to do something and later on you find that something else is better, then you should expiate your oath and do what is better."
If Muhammad were alive today, Westerners would consider him to have the integrity of an alley cat, no better than a Congressman who sends photos of his crotch to teen-aged girls, yet Muslims and apologists for Islam consider him to be the perfect role model.

Somalis have collectively decided that they no longer must play by anyone else's rules. Somali pirates retained Indian hostages after a ransom was paid, even though they had an explicit agreement that the ransom was paid for their release. Their reasoning was that since the Indian navy had arrested more than 100 pirates on the high seas, they were no longer required to release Indian hostages even after a ranson was paid.
Therefore, Somalis can no longer be trusted.

Der Spiegel and BBC News reported that piracy cost the global economy an estimated $8.3 billion in 2010. Unless something is done to reverse the trend, that cost could double within a few years. Der Spiegel reported just one month later that the cost is actually closer to $10 billion.
Der Spiegel quoted convicted pirate Ahmed Muhammed Adam as having said "Whenever 20 [pirates] die, there are always 20 more to replace them." In other words, piracy is the best career option in Somalia and will attract more and more of them until they are convinced otherwise.

Pirates are lying parasites who are sucking the life out of the world economy, not all that different from Wall Street bankers. They cannot be motivated to stop hijacking ships, so we should just kill them when they are caught in the act. And as I wrote before (read here and here), we must prevent them from hijacking any more ships. Somali apologists will wail at this prescription, somehow forgetting that current hostages are being tortured by their Islamic captors.
A large percentage of Somalis in the USA are active Islamists, often traveling back home to Somalia from Somali strongholds in the USA, e.g. Minneapolis, to pursue jihad. These people are worse than Nazis spies during WWII, during which we arrested every Nazi spy we could find. The Islamist organization al-Shabab is a Somali invention. Newsweek noted that al-Shabab practices an extreme version of Islam, i.e. they take all of Muhammad's teachings literally. Women accused of adultery are dealt with quickly and cruelly: al-Shabab's your uncle, they are stoned to death.
All immigration of Somalis must stop via a total ban on Somali immigration. All Somalis in the country must be monitored; if they actively pursue jihad, e.g. Mohamed Osman Mohamud, the Portland car bomber, they must be deported. Even if they only advocate jihad and the killing of infidels via the Internet, we must deport them, as there are many other deserving immigrants, e.g. Coptic Christians.
