I think it safe to say the ragheads want their taxes (= "Zakat") collected, and they will block any schemes which attempt to bypass their tax collectors. They are enemies of Cypherpunks, but then we all knew that a long time ago.
The long term strategy is that we Muslims need a major presence in cyberspace. This would include intelligent agents (robots, sheriffs,) roaming cyberspace collecting Zakat funds and Jihad funds and doing other things we can't yet imagaine. Islamic Gateway http://www.ummah.org.uk
