Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Germany: Court determines “Sharia Patrol” is legal

Nov 29, 2016 8:26 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

A German court has thrown out a case against a group of extremist Salafist ‘sharia police,’ for the second time, claiming they have not broken the law.

According to the judges, however, the Islamic patrol was not illegal because the uniforms were not “suggestively militant” and did not have an “intimidating effect,” Die Welt reports.

It is shocking that any Western court would deem Sharia patrols legal. The ruling was due to some wording about dress; this has taken precedence over safety and constitutional freedoms. Islamic supremacists are using our democracy against us; their advances are happening under our noses. No Western state is now immune from being victimized by Sharia incursions and now Sharia patrols, as leftist ideologues continue to aid Islamic supremacists.

The larger question is this: why is Germany descending into subjugation to Islam without any adequate opposition? Up to a decade ago, no one would believe that “Sharia patrols” could possibly exist on Western soil. As citizens accustomed to freedom, we in Europe and North America have been too prone to under-scrutinizing our leaders, handing them our trust that they clearly do not deserve.

A lesson from Canada: an anti-Islamophobia motion was passed in Parliament only weeks ago, but it is critical to consider the fact that a similar motion was declined in early October because Conservative MP’s refused to support it. So the question is, why the change in November? Sources tell me that many Conservative MP’s were not informed that there was even such a vote taking place in Parliament for the second time. So far this is hearsay, but the public needs to be asking questions when the facts do not add up. The public deserves the right to know what is happening behind closed doors that is enabling Islamic supremacists to advance their goal of the subjugation of the West. That subjugation is clearly happening.

“German Court Says Islamic ‘Sharia Patrol’ Legal”, by Liam Deacon, Breitbart, November 22, 2016:

A German court has thrown out a case against a group of extremist Salafist ‘sharia police,’ for the second time, claiming they have not broken the law.

The vigilantes were led by convert Sven Lau who is simultaneously on trial for backing “a terrorist group” fighting in Syria.

Mr. Lau and six accomplices took to the streets of the western city of Wuppertal in 2014, telling people not to drink, listen to music, attend nightclubs, or gamble.

However, prosecutors have said they are struggling to build a case against them.

The case centres on the claim the men breached a ban on political uniforms after they donned orange vests bearing the words “sharia police.”

The law was originally brought in to criminalise organised Neo-Nazi and Brown Shirt patrols in Germany.

According to the judges, however, the Islamic patrol was not illegal because the uniforms were not “suggestively militant” and did not have an “intimidating effect,” Die Welt reports.

The same court threw out the same case last year, but was overruled on appeal by a higher court, which agreed with prosecutors that the ban on uniforms could be applied in this case.

Monday’s verdict is not yet final and could still be appealed.

Germany has seen a spate of organised sharia patrols, with witnesses claiming an Islamic State-linked sharia police unit had formed in the northern city of Hamburg in August of this year.

Earlier in the year, a number of bars in Denmark reported repeated harassment by sharia patrols.

They claimed certain areas of the capital, Copenhagen, had become “sharia zones” with property vandalised and abuse shouted at government ministers.

In London, “Muslim patrols” or “modesty patrols,” linked to Anjem Choudary’s now banned terrorist group Al-Muhajiroun, walked the streets from 2013 to 2014.

They targeted people drinking alcohol, couples holding hands, women they considered to be dressed immodestly, and harassed men they perceived as being gay….

        Indeed. And the judicial authorities in Germany seemed unfazed by an increase of 200% in anti-Semitic attacks in just one year (2015), reported by the London Standard. It must be a coincidence that this was the very year that Merkel facilitated the great hijra.

    • Bill says

      Nov 29, 2016 at 9:47 am

      You bet it is. Germany under Merkel slides closer to a totalitarian state. Just read the link below. The establishment politicians there have opened German borders to Islamic invasion, are indifferent to the crimes committed by the invaders against German citizens, commandeer private property to quarter the invaders and, when the citizens assemble to protest the treason they are punished by the government more than any of the invaders.

      It is a pathetic joke that a citizen should have to swear allegiance to the constitution to acquire a means of self defense, especially while the government itself is trashing that same constitution.

      Idiots. Not even useful idiots.

      The sharia police have an effect on those who know what they stand for.
      Intimidation, fear, conforming to a barbaric system.

      Apparently the German government is totally ignorant of what sharia actually is.

      There are millions of muslims who would leave islam, except they know they will be hunted down.

      Islam would die out if muslims had a choice.

      Some leave, many die.

      Of course, “blind” justice means impartial justice–no group should be able to go around imposing its own law in a democratic nation.

    • Keith says

      Nov 29, 2016 at 9:07 am

      If it is different to German or European law that is fine with left wing liberals, who just happen to be running most European governments, just as long as they don’t criticise the koran or muhammad.

    poor Germany, this is just PHASE1 of sharia law implementation ( public awareness of sharia law and the reminder to German muslims that are duty bound to obey it ) ! The stoning and beheadings of the non muslim general public don’t start until PHASE 4

    According to the judges, however, the Islamic patrol was not illegal because the uniforms were not “suggestively militant” and did not have an “intimidating effect,” Die Welt reports.

    Is there a metric that can be used to objectively define what is “suggestively militant” and “intimidating”? Because that looks like the kind of thing that is not only in the eye of the beholder but also dependant on circumstances and context – one might not care enough to give a second glance to a group of men using orange vests and one might consider them to be a militant, intimidating group if one finds himself surrounded by them and being shout at for, for example, carrying a bottle of wine in public. German law dropped the ball here – the question is not whether they are “intimidating” or “suggestively militant”, the question is that they wanted to enforce something that is at odds with the law of the land.

    • eduardo odraude says

      Nov 29, 2016 at 11:21 am

      If an f’ing “Islamist” concurrently on trial for aiding terrorism is in these patrols, there can be no possible excuse for the judges’ verdict. Even if there were no such jihadist ideologue in the group of five men calling themselves police, the judges responsible for this lie of a verdict should be removed from the bench by the German people by every legal means available asap. God help the Germans if they keep cowardly and/or ignorant judges like that.

    • Mockingjay says

      Nov 29, 2016 at 1:29 pm

      Well…
      Germans only consider wearing a “brown shirt” (nazi attire) to be “intimidating”, you see.

      – Things like combat boots and bomber jackets will get you swiftly arrested if you would behave only slightly “intimidating”.

      Fact is – many Germans seem to have chosen self-blinding as punishment for the crimes of their nation committed more than seventy years ago.

      • nicu says

      ” the uniforms were not “suggestively militant” and did not have an “intimidating effect,” Die Welt reports.”

      I wonder how intimidating they would be if they came across a mislima not wearing her head dress or found a muslim not attending the mosk 5 times a day ..

      I would have thought the display of “POLICE” would have been illegal, considering they are not police and they would not have taken the police oath to uphold the law .. False representation of a legal entity and someone you could go to for safety .. (from muslims)

      Nobody has the right to harass anyone that looks gay………. looking gay is freedom of speech

    Why are these patrols not being targeted by patriots! They should be made to fear regardless of legality. It is time for citizens to harshly oppose this even if they are jailed as a result. I really would like to see an actual backlash at this point.

    • eduardo odraude says

      Nov 29, 2016 at 11:23 am

      As long as we live in a democratic state — and Germany is still a democratic state — to step outside the law is to make ourselves into little dictators. That is not the way. Legal resistance, organization, and protest are the way.

      Targeted by German patriots? With what exactly, spitballs? The Jihadis have the firearms. The German citizen is disarmed. Mr Odraude is correct, legal resistance, organization, and protest are the way. There is no other way. Even that is dubious, since Merkel has a monopoly on the State use of violence, she will direct its use against the German citizens who are legally organizing and protesting against her.

      Although the odds are stacked against the citizens, they have to rise up and toss her and her party out at the next election.

  6. Annie Oakley says

    Nov 29, 2016 at 10:13 am

    You’d think that it would be illegal to represent themselves as being “police” of any sort. The mere use of that noun implies the authority to stop, detain and deprive others of freedom.

    Based on this ruling, I suppose that a plainclothes policeman in Germany doesn’t have to be obeyed because his clothes aren’t intimidating enough.

  7. eduardo odraude says

    Nov 29, 2016 at 11:16 am

    This sh# is too much.

    I imagine the lower court was thinking “well, this is too big for me. I think I’ll pass the buck. Let the higher courts take this case on appeal. I’m not getting paid enough to take the heat for resisting Sharia. I’m keeping my head down.” These criminally negligent judges — can anyone post their names? — should be impeached asap. They should be known and made ashamed.

  8. Westman says

    Nov 29, 2016 at 12:33 pm

    If this isn’t stopped, there will inevitably be PEGIDA “Freiheit” patrols and clashes,

    The non-action elites of EU government are simply allowing Islamic aggression to grow until the populace, itself, has no choice but to create its own solutions. This government cowardice can only lead to civil unrest, or worse.

    Germany has recognised a parallel legal system that is diametrically opposed to western law. Talk about insanity. The judges have missed the root issue.

  11. common sense says

    Nov 29, 2016 at 4:54 pm

    “telling people not to drink, listen to music, attend nightclubs, or gamble.”- Germans not drinking? Its actually stupid funny.

    “Harrassment” itself is not protected by any constitution its in direct contradiction to it (maybe not for cry baby Muslims).
    German citizens just have to shout out. If these pus brains can organize a shariah police and get away with it anything is possible, look at Brexit and Trump’s victory.

    Islam apparently has more balls than typical Germans.

    I’ll be dancing a jig in the street with a boom box blaring “don’t stop til you get enough” drinking whiskey and throwing dice at their feet. That’s fair maybe a little provocation but its my life and my decision to pay any lawful consequences but by my law not shariah.
    Oh yeah I’ll be holding hands with my wife as her beautiful blonde hair flows freely while we dance.
    I’d throw the glove down at the toughest looking one in the bunch, we could go exercise at the local boxing gym or MMA or whatever. NO problem at all.
    Never met a Muslim who’s ass I could not whoop. IOW-ain’t skeered!

    Something is rotten in The State of Germany. Religious police on patrol with the backing of the courts, imposing the will of the local authoritarian Islamic Community Leadership upon all those hapless souls who chanced to be born into Muslim households. Is this an outgrowth of weak minded Multicultural ideals or does it reflect the desperation of a political establishment faced with tens of thousands of recent arrivals who have no respect for German Law or the cultural norms of their host society?

    Sutherland and the UN have an oar in this. The elites want to assimilate Islam and the populations entering Europe all the better to eat you with…. Imperialism relies on assimilation to stay on top. If that means throwing Europeans to the wolves….. Also, the defender of the faith wants to be the defender of all faiths….Britain….you can see the logic…..but somehow it does’nt seem to work it’s ‘magic’ in this day and age. Maybe we all are sick of being taken for fools by religions, elites and neoliberal lefties on the make.
