Though these jihad-warriors play for the Sudan, the minor leagues of Islamic fundamentalist state-sponsored terrorism (considering the country's recent descent into barbarism, perhaps the metaphor of an expansion team rings truer), they still can cause a lot of trouble, as evidenced by the Trade Center bombing...

Sure, these people are funneling megabucks into this project and have a retail clothing division, and this club bears no resemblance to an actual juke joint.
