It's true that religion and politics sometime motivate people to self sacrificing violence. Although most folks who strap a bomb on and blow themselves up take that route for other sociological reasons as well.

But you are dead wrong that gang members who don't hold those values act violently only when they think they won't get caught. Recently in the most secure housing unit of the Los Angeles central jail two members of the Mexican Mafia tried to kill a man with spears made of razor blades and rolled up magazines. They did it on video in front of sheriff's deputies knowing it would pretty much guarantee their conviction and life sentences on pending charges. They didn't do it for politics or religion.

Trust me, there's some bad knrl going down outside of Scandinavia and it ain't all insipid pop music.

Well that's a different environment there, if they're in a high security jail and likely to stay there for a long time it's not really the same as if they were walking completely free.

If by doing what you said they could improve their status and well, ease of living within said jail it's not an illogical action, just a dumb one.
