"GOLD Coast bikie gangs are actively targeting hot-blooded young Muslim and Eastern European men as they seek to beef up their ranks with aggressive ethnic recruits.

Sources say gangs such as the Bandidos are embracing multiculturalism, signing up Lebanese, Turkish and Balkan members, many from Sydney and Melbourne.

The trend mirrors the early stages of the rise of crime gangs in southern states who recruited from ethnic groups, sources say.

Pacific Islanders such as violent Bandido and Muslim convert Leonard Toalei are also being targeted."

"I'm no racist", Shadow, deluding yourself once more.

Beach your link to Murdoch's gutter press 'The Courier Mail' is a classic example of sensational journalism at its best. The stories core subject supposedly is a report on Gold Coast bikie gangs targeting hot-blooded (their words) young Muslim and Eastern European men as they seek to increase their ranks with these aggressive ethnic recruits. Could be a fair enough story.
The only reference to this being fact is the authors unnamed "sources", who are these sources the authors grandma? Murdoch's men Stolz and Robertson, the journalists, quickly ditch the core subject and devote three quarters of the story to a known criminal Leonard Toalei and his antics, along with the exploits of some real bad customers from the bikie gang the Bandidos.
If the gutter press had hard evidence of their initial claim, that is; bikie gangs targeting young Muslim and Eastern European men on the Gold Coast, why is it not in the story? Just maybe, they haven't got any hard evidence, have they.
The problem I, and many others have with Murdoch's gutter press is the way they present their material, just as the one above. Starts off with a sensational claim, then quickly move on to some irreverent, if not slightly related "facts", from something else which is somewhat vaguely related. It works well, fools many readers, especially those that get their news from Murdoch's NoNews Corp!

Both Beach and Shadow post lots of links to stuff from NoNews Corp. Why?

Yep, Runner runs in and has nothing to offer re the subject of this thread...he's too busy being nasty.

O Sung Wu, I honestly think any Australian Government has Australia's best interests at heart, deep down, as they are all Australians themselves. I can't see either the law makers, or the law enforcement agencies allowing any if these gangs to ultimately take over our country, can you?

At the end of the day, we have our laws and punishments that apply to ALL people in Australia, no matter where they are originally from, or their religions.
If these dreaded 1% of Australians that are Muslim decide to try and take over Australia, I am sure the rest of the population will prevail.

Shadow Minister "I'm no racist... (Lol!) ...."These Muslim illegals shouldn't be here in the first place, they don't look like us and they don't fit in. Same for those Pacific Islanders you mention. Australia is for Aussies."

Let's have a photo of you then SM, so we can all decide whether we like the look of you either! Technically, all Aussies that don't look like our original Aboriginal Australians should be asked to leave too then?

Suse & Paul,

The Shadow Minister you are addressing is not "Shadow Minister".

Bikies and Jihadis are totally different, Jihadis are brave,idealistic and motivated by religious conviction, bikies are the complete opposite they're cowards, parasites and criminals.
It's lazy and dishonest to use the word "Muslim" in place of "Hooligan", this goes back ten years now to the disturbances caused by Lebanese hooligans in Sutherland Shire, the crowd at Cronulla was chanting "F-off Lebs" remember?.
If they make it to age 25 some of these hoods will settle down and become Muslims, some of the more intelligent individuals might go on to become Jihadis but most don't.
The real Jihadis don't cause much trouble for the wider community, they're not stupid, they know that the easiest form of Jihad is to play the long game, live on the dole, work for cash and have six kids, the state pays for the "Jihad of the womb" and the dumb lefties protect it.

You are right Poirot, I see there are two 'Shadow Ministers' in the Users list.
I thought new members couldn't use the same name?

Obviously the new one is a troll who can't even think up a name for him/her self.
There should be more selective precaution on this site...
