This article is very interesting. A few excerpts:

The Muslim Boys, they say, are notorious for intimidating imams into opening their mosques in the early hours of the morning so that they can pray, often right after committing crimes, and for their "forced conversions", carried out at gunpoint, of black youths to Islam. At least one local young man, Adrian Marriott, thought to have resisted such a conversion, is believed to have been murdered "as an example to others". ....

This is how gang member Winston describes "conversion". "You got to be Muslim to be in our group," he tells me. "If you not down [cool] with Muslim, we visit your home, maybe strip you naked in front of your f***ing mother, we put a gun in your mouth. We give you three days [to change your mind], then, if you not down with it, we f* * * ing blow. ...

Abdul Haqq Baker, chairman of Brixton mosque, said: "What we are seeing is a new phenomenon that I have not seen in my 15 years as a Muslim." He added that TV scenes of militant uprisings in the Middle East are presenting a distorted view of Islam that appeals to criminals. "Keep away from our mosques," he pleaded.

Unless you can keep quiet and have money.

#3 Devoid of reason, typical thuggery and baffoonery then using religion to rationalize it all. How typically boring.

#4 Well it sounds pretty Islamic to me. I don't see much difference between these punks and Mulholland's exploits. Convert or die, thats Islam at it's core when they can get away with it IMHO.

It also sounds like the UK police is ill-equipped for and perhaps even avoiding dealing with this gang. It's going to come back and bite hard. On police officer already shot in the legs with a MAC-10. These punks are running 3 housing estates. How can the UK government even think of allowing that?

The money is the key here. Where is it going? Just because they say they are down with Osama doesn't mean much. They could be doing something much worse with the money. What that is needs to be determined quickly.

Situation normal (you know the rest.) Perhaps some press coverage will initiate some action.
