What country's name means land of the Aryans?
LOL YES, IRAN.
I think NONE of them. Because they study a BOOK. Just one though.
With all the RULES and they probably have some lame rule that you have to recite some stupid crap about the Aryan race that is totally distorted, of course. Most of these numbnuts have never seen someone from Iran. They think it is a salute to Nazis and all things Nazi. Well, it is a salute to them being all things asshole.
The Aryan Brotherhood, also known as the Brand, or the AB, is a white supremacist prison gang and organized crime syndicate in the United States with about 10,000 members in and out of prison.[7][8] According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the gang makes up less than 0.1% of the prison population, but it is responsible for up to 30% of murders in the federal prison system.[9][10][dubious ] The AB has focused on the economic activities typical of organized crime entities, particularly drug trafficking, extortion, inmate prostitution, and murder-for-hire.[11]
Organization at lower levels varies from prison to prison. For example, in the Arizona prison system, members are known as "kindred" and organize into "families". A "council" controls the families. Kindred may recruit other members, known as "progeny", and serve as a mentor for the new recruits.[12] The group has an alliance[13] with La Eme (the Mexican Mafia) as the two are mutual enemies of Black Guerrilla Family.
Like most prison gangs, Aryan Brotherhood members mark themselves with distinctive tattoos. Designs commonly include the words "Aryan Brotherhood", "AB", "666", Nazi symbolism such as SS, sig runes, and swastikas, as well as shamrocks and Celtic iconography.[9]
somewhere between 10 and 17 percent, i'd reckon.
You're giving them WAY more credit than I would. :-)
i don't mind being wrong... once n a while. ;-)
As a general point, "Aryan" was once a genuine racial description applied to those of Scandinavian / NW European descent: typically tall, with fair skin and hair. That ended with World War Two.
When Adolf Hitler created National Socialism ("Nazi" being from the German version of the words) he purloined Aryan as his ideal to which in his distorted view, the Germanic and Scandinavian peoples should aspire.
Consequently, when the Nazis were defeated and the full horror of their regime became clear to all, the word "Aryan" was quietly replaced by "Caucasian" with a looser stereotype.
I'd not heard of the 'Aryan Brotherhood' until I saw the discussion-title. I thought it disturbing then, and Sharonna's description confirmed my fears; although until I read it I'd guessed the AB is a neo-Nazi para-political group, not a gang of common thugs who happen to like Nazi symbols they probably don't really understand, and think "Aryan" means "from Iran".
