      Do you think people in violent gangs are usually intelligent? Honest question. I want to see your reasoning for questioning it’s credibility. Read up on the Hindu v.

          Yes, of course. But this isn’t organized crime along the lines of monetary gain. This is organized crime along the lines of religious fanaticism/extremism. The former wants to stay hidden to make money. The latter wants to be seen to be feared.
