#1 Looks like they don't consider any militant groups from Israel "terrorist" - Hamas, Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades et al. Also from Philippines Abu Sayyaf is included but not Jemaah Islamiah or Moro Islamic Liberation Front. No non-Islamic groups are indicated - IRA, ETA or FARC etc. They clearly don't like Muslim Brotherhood, Al-Qaeda and homegrown groups.

#2 Also distinct by its absence - Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis, Sinai Egypt's anti-Israeli terrorist group.

#3 Can one still use the word 'terrorist' in this day and age. Doesn't seem like the 'T' word is used in Washington anymore. If the 'T' word can't even be uttered, what is expected in the way of action against terrorists? U.S. lagging behind the curve with Muzzie countries?

#5 Fred didn't compile the list, the UAE did. (nice knowledgeable grouping by Fred however). My point, UAE is publicly withdrawing support for many militant Islamic groups except those which target Israel.

#6 38- Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR)

UAE will have to answer to Huma and Hillary. Huma's mom and pop can't be too pleased right now.

#10 Ansar Beit al-Maqdis is No. 11 on the list.

What's significant, I think, is the fact that so much of terror funding comes through the UAE. I think IS might be more than orthodox Islam can stomach.

#11 Quite a list. Man, I miss the olden days when it was just Axis vs Allies.

#12 No problem Shipman. I enjoy your insights and sarcasm. Fred, oversight. Yes, I see number 11, thanks.
