The TAP Boyz (an acronym for The Arabian Posse), was a Chicago-based Palestinian American street gang or self-described "movement" formed on the corner of 63rd & Kedzie Street in 1992. Their gang colors were red and white and their symbol was a four pointed star. It was formed in response to anti-Arab sentiment from rival gangs; the movement's goal was to protect the Arab-American community from being attacked in racially motivated assaults precipitated by the First Gulf War.〔National Gang Crime Research Center :http://www.ngcrc.com/ngcrc/page12.htm〕 Most members were high school teenagers from south side high schools such as Hubbard, Bogan, Reavis, Oak Lawn, Andrew, Stagg, and Argo.Their gang colors are Red and White.〔http://sobs.org/chilocal/gangs/gnglist.html〕 The gang symbol is a four pointed star.〔 Most, if not all members outside of the Chicago area have a circular burn mark on their right index finger. The gang is also active in other places outside of Chicago, mostly North Carolina. They are also rumored to be allied with the United Blood Nation on the east coast and the Almighty Vice Lord Nation in North Carolina, though unconfirmed. However, in places in North Carolina and Florida, they are more independent, as the amount of Arab-Americans in those areas are reasonably low. In California, they are small allies with the Bloods street gang. In North Carolina and Florida, they've merged from a movement of protecting Arab-Americans and Muslims from racism and religious intolerance to also a street gang that operates is more criminal activities, such as murder, the illegal drug trade and arms trafficking. In the Middle East, they are fighting against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant as well as the Syrian Armed Forces. Members have shown their alliance to the Syrian Opposition. ==Gang sets== *AK(Arabian Knights) *Egyptian Cobras *Egyptian Cobrettes *Assyrian Kings *Almighty Assyrian Eagles *Followers of Atargatis *Eastern Ishtar Followers 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「TAP Boyz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
