You know, Fable, we have a very similar thing going on in Brazil, so this may be sociologic and we may blame politics on it. And the very people, of course, we cant be lenient and say people aint guilty but lets explain this.
We have the PCC here, which translated means first capital comand, which is a criminal organization who deals in drugs, weapons and thievery. They're pretty strong. How do they gather ranks? They pay well, they assist the families of those in the favelas they dominate and they also have a very important political network in the underworld that is attempting to rise.
Recent bombings and attacks to the police have done nothing but putting the population in panic, and the importance of this organization has risen a lot. I think that they will either be destroyed or soon they'll start forming political links.
Our politicians and the government agencies that should handle this are:
- worried with the presidential run
- slapping each other to the face because they dont want to get landed with the guilt
- attempting to give more assistencialism to those people instead of generating jobs and riches and destroying the tree of power of such organization by its roots
- involved with this kind of corruption
In other words, soon they will acquire some kind of right. They have the money, they have politicians/policement/judges infiltrated, and I dont see them raising here as strong as a Hesbolah, but I feel that this is either to be taken seriously by the very government and the people who place politicians in the power, or this wont be solved at all.
It is a sociological problem of global proportions. People are getting poorer and poorer, and politicians handle with power - not with organization of the people, with taking care of their rights, yadda yadda, medicine, jobs, yadda yadda as they promise.
Such organizations become paralel government for the minorities. If they're more organized than the governments, and better to their own than governments, why not letting them come over? Because they're harder to regulate, and they're not supposed to be under international jurisdiction.
Anyway, this is particulary stupid to discuss since such governments just want to strangle each other for a variety of reasons.
I particulary dislike the views on the blog quoted but, in fact, this is a point of view that may be valid. This is about religion and intolerance, mixed with poverty and bad politics, and years and years of micro disputes and it wont end before a stupid grim end, such as is the trademark of humans.
May he be wrong.
