Great points. The notion of terrorists ‘attacking because of our freedom’ is pure nonsense. “War on terror” branding just enforces the terror, ironically, for political or monetary gains.

Terror-Free Oilâ€“

While I can certainly agree that it is admirable that the franchise fee is so low, the fact remains that the company SELLING the oil FOR A PROFIT is hoping to maximize their investment by exploiting the fears of the public.

While â€œTerror-Free Oilâ€ itself may not be profiting from such a venture, it is certain that someone is hoping to increase their revenues from the mere fact that they can play on fears and overhyped Islamophobia.

So no, it doesnâ€™t â€œblow my argument out of the water,â€ though I do appreciate your comment.
However, your â€œlook like a moronâ€ phrase turned your otherwise intelligent comment into a tactless personal attack, as such labels are usually the first tactic used by those that resort to name-calling when their arguments arenâ€™t strong enough to stand on their own.

Doesnâ€™t the fact that Terror-Free Oil annual franchise fee is $1 (http://www.terrorfreeoil.org/franchise/) blow your war profiteering argument out of the water and make you look like a moron? It is probably not a bad idea to research the subject before providing your scholarly opinion.

Excellent post. Yes, it all comes down to the cash in the end. This is politics at its slimiest.
