NBC reports that knock-off handbags support Al-Queda

A report on NBC claims that proceeds from the sale of designer bags supports terrorism. This report claims that about 50 million dollars a year in revenues from the sale of these handbags are used to fund terrorist groups, such as Al-Queda. Al-Queda was the group responsible for the attacks on 9/11.

Is this not ridiculous!!!! Who else notices that everything considered "bad" automatically supports terrorism? I never thought that the cute little Chinese people who sell these bags are really terrorists in training. Come on! If they want to discourage the sale of knock-offs for the purpose of trademark protection and the prevention of unfair competition, why can't these people just say so? Do they always need to use the guise of terrorism to justify everything? Knock-off bags do not support terrorism. Brainwashed extremists and their families support terrorism. Instead of wasting time targeting knock offs, why don't they look to the real problem: the sick-minded disgraces to humanity themselves...
