I respect Andrew McCarthy a lot. In "Willful Blindness," he says he considered using RICO in the 1993 prosecution of the "blind sheikh" but decided against it. It is normally used against Mafia whose motivations are financial gain, not ideology.

They ought to also apply it to terrorists. They need money to get their operatives to where they can kill and maim, and provide them with the equipment and escape routes, and pay the family something if they die on their mission. You take their assets, all that’s left is the regime that backs them, which has to give them more cash and get it to them.
