I have to wonder if they raise the Jolly Roger Battle Ensign just before attacking. Or because they aren't European pirates, they use other more regional ensigns? Or symbols of faith?
I doubt they would want anyone knowing who they were. I think these guys are just out trying to make a quick buck by hijacking ships and their crews for ransoms. They know that Somalia is so screwed up they can operate without local opposition. Like Port Royale in the 1600s. They don't seem to trying to make a political or religous point as far as I can tell.
