Germany bans Turkish-nationalist biker gang
2018-07-11
[IsraelTimes] Germany bans a Ottoman Turkish-nationalist biker gang on allegations it is involved in organized crime and represents a threat to the general public.

Interior Minister Horst Seehofer says that searches were carried out in four states in conjunction with the ban on the Osmanen Germania BC club.

In addition to allegations the gang is involved in organized crime, German authorities say the group is believed to have ties to the party of Ottoman Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan and has been involved in intimidation in Germany of his critics.

The Interior Ministry says the group, founded in 2015, has 16 chapters around the country.

#4  (Pasha Erdogan) is unfriendly to unbelievers and not-quite-right believers as currently defined.

You should hear what he says about Gulenists and the F-150.

#3  so they are probably Muslims.

Definitely Muslims. The Turkey of Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan I, “the much beloved”, is unfriendly to unbelievers and not-quite-right believers as currently defined. Osmanian Germania is exactly as Elmerert Hupens2660 describes— click on the name in the article to see what we’ve got in the archives.

#2  They're unofficial extraterritorial enforcers of a Muslim Brotherhood regime so they are probably Muslims.

The ban is by law a decision made by the Interior Minister, not the Chancellor. It is possible that Merkel didn't receive a prior warning as she might have issued a veto.

OTOH this could also be a display of power to boost Seehofer's party's electoral prospects after Seehofer's humiliating submission to Merkel. Success theater following failure theater.

#1  If only they were Muslims I'm sure Merkel would have been ok with them.
