GANGSTAS' PARADISE REVISITED!!

The footsoldiers of the violent, rebellious, anti-authority movement of "gangsta culture" are easily converted into violent, rebellious, anti-(western) authority of Islamic radicalism!! It is merely a simple exchange of leadership from one movement to the other...the gang loyalty or drug cartel loyalty once given to the gang leader or drug supplier is easily transferred to the local imam, especially for those who were Muslims by heritage.

We've even seen that to a lesser extent here in America, some former L.A. street gang members were arrested after one of them dropped his cellphone in a convenience store they were robbing to finance their terror mission. The ring leader of this homegrown sleeper cell converted to a radical Islamic cult in faraway Folsom prison and upon his release he set out to organize his dirty work and recruited a fellow gangbanger and a Pakistani immigrant to join him!!

While the prisons in America are being infested with Islamofascist recruiters, the problem is even worse in Europe---where they also recruit on the steets and in local mosques!! Remember, a renegade easily changes loyalties when presented with an equally violent, rebellious path that has even stronger leadership and financing than the one they are coming out of!! Particularly when it appeals to a firebrand version of the traditional religion they were brought up in!!
