Australia: Muslim Biker Gangs Recruiting Teens

What the heck is going on down under? Are things so out of control that Muslim gangs can ride around on motorcycles?

SYDNEY'S Middle Eastern youth gangs have become recruitment grounds for outlaw bikies - with allegiances split along religious lines.

Senior police sources revealed they are extremely concerned about the emergence of what they call the Muslim "feeder" gangs.

The 600-strong MBM, the emblem of which features two crossed swords, is made up of young, predominantly Shi'a Muslims from Sydney's southwest. It is feeding membership of the Comanchero bikie gang whose boss, Mahmoud "Mick" Hawi, is a Shi'ite.

Asesinoz MC boasts of its extremist Islamic views on YouTube videos and promotes anti-Australian sentiment including flag-burning and statements like: "F. . . the police" and "Asesinoz MC is now targeting Aussies".

Racism was becoming a growing factor in the bikie feuds, according to sources. "There's Notorious and Commanchero against the Hells Angels, who they call the skips, the whiteys," a source said.
