This article contains the perfect description of an organized crime family's operations. A 'Godfather' passing down hit orders to 'Capos' who then go out to terrorize the neighborhood. There is no inkling of religious fervor, only the pursuit of raw power from the barrel of a gun. To characterize these thugs as anything other than members of an organized crime family is misleading. They are not Martyrs, Rebels, Insurgents, Fanatics or anything other than gang members.

Exactly. Call 'em the al-Capones.

To characterize these thugs as anything other than members of an organized crime family is misleading. They are not Martyrs, Rebels, Insurgents, Fanatics or anything other than gang members.

We call them GANGS in the US, or mafia, but over there they are called terrorists.

They take on names, like CRIPS,BLOODS,IRA,AQ,PLO,etc.
