Germans set the record straight for Sharia Law Police attempts on German soil

[Mr. Ambien]

Islamist vigilantes face trial for 'Sharia police'

State prosecutors in the Ruhr city of Wuppertal said on Tuesday that they have brought charges against notorious Islamic fundamentalist Sven Lau, who was behind a short-lived 'Sharia police' vigilante force in the city.

Lau, 34, is accused – with nine others – of infractions against the law on freedom of assembly over the group of high-vis-vest-wearing Islamists who declared that they would patrol the streets to police morals last September.

The German convert to Islam and leading fundamentalist preacher had declared himself to be one of the leaders of the group in a video published online.

Eleven of the group's members were prosecuted for unlawful assembly and wearing illegal uniforms in public shortly before Lau announced that he would re-brand his organization 'Pro Halal'.

But his actions had already created national outrage and prompted politicians to declare any system of parallel justice to be beyond the pale.

"Sharia law is not tolerated on German soil," Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said at the time.

Hotspot for fundamentalism.

The western state of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) is widely regarded as a hotspot for fundamentalist Islam in Germany.

A number of high-profile German 'foreign fighters' who have joined Isis in Iraq or Syria came from the country's most densely populated region.

"[isis] calls on young people in NRW in a targeted way to join their fighters and help erect a so-called holy state," state interior minister Ralf Jäger wrote in a brochure titled Salafism as Youth Culture.

And a trial began last September against a group of four Salafists (fundamentalist Sunni Muslims) accused of planting a bomb at the central station in Bonn.

Last year's annual report from the state branch of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution (VS) found that "the risk in the area of Islamic-motivated extremism in NRW dramatically spiked in 2014".

VS agents were tracking more than 160 people in the state in January 2015, when the report was written.

But in their zeal to defend against extremism, some politicians in the state have offended ordinary Muslims – for example, by trying to 'counter' handouts of free Korans by handing out copies of the German Constitution on the same day earlier this year.

Especially as an influx of refugees flood into Germany, it's more important that they remind Muslims of the disallowed status of Sharia Law, as they inevitably will wish to impose it.

Of course, this guy was born in Germany...

If a Christian did the same thing, that's considered freedom of speech.

Be careful how many laws you want disappeared in the name of security, Adolf.

So is this:

Yeah. Just like any radicals who think they can setup their own fiefdom outside the law like these KKK guys and these weird polygamy religious cults.

[Mr. Ambien]

So is this:

Yep, but of 2015, not of a century ago.

Attempt to detract failed.

Hey shouldn't it be polizei?

[Mr. Ambien]

Hey shouldn't it be polizei?

When they went around NRW on the streets they were indeed using the word "polizei" to describe themselves, along with explanations in German telling people not to drink, not to play music aloud, smoke, etc. But obviously for some reason they used the English spelling variant uniforms, until they were told not to by the courts, then just went around policing people plain-clothed afterwards.

[Rounoush]

Good on Germany. You won't see this in Sweden. They now stand as an example of going too far left and they are paying for it big time.

[GLASSJAW]

So is this:

take THAT you 1920s KKK revivalists of CDC!

the enlightened of us don't see colour, you racist.

Nope. KKK is still around: https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/ideology/ku-klux-klan

People need to understand it's ok to practice your religion, your lifestyle, but it is not the law we as a society live by as a whole. If you have particular beliefs and laws within a religion they cannot be forced on societal laws and values. There is no place for a " Karen Davis " in kentucky to disregard her oath as a clerk and impose her religious beliefs on others affecting society's law. You cannto have someone following Sharia Law in Germany policing the streets watching for infractions to this " law ". This is not how freedom works.

lol yeah. Apparently the strongest political party there sprung out from the Nazi era in the 30s and 40s. Liberals are pussies on this issue but going too far right is also dangerous.

Meanwhile the Saudis have taken no refugees but offered to build 200 mosques in Germany. When it's asserted that Muslims are trying to spread Islam and their culture by infiltrating Europe in record numbers it's hard to deny that. And it's more than a few who are bringing their fundamentalist ideals. Never mind the second and third generation twits already there who harbor these ideas. It's potentially leading to a volatile situation. The Gulf States are doing practically nothing to combat ISIS, they're taking in no refugees - people they share a language and culture with, and in this instance of the Saudis offering to build mosques instead of take some of these people themselvses - it's alarming.

We talked about this in another thread but the Saudis have taken in 2.5 million Syrians and given 100,000 residency status.
