#1 Very little mention of the peers of the gangsters, that is, the anarchists, skinheads, etc., who share their domain.

The comparison is important because these vaguely-Muslim young men have more in common with anarchists and other street punks than they do with Islamists. For them, Islam is an affiliation, not a culture. They take from it a few symbols, and appreciate the license and misogeny it offers. It is like their "gang colors".

What they know of disorder is learned from others on the street, their peers and their mentors.
