Shariah Police Found Patrolling Outside Nightclubs, Asking People To Do Something Very Offensive According to reports, the German government has announced that it intends to take action against volunteer patrols who call themselves Shariah police. The group has been seen walking outside of nightclubs and train stations, telling the public not to drink or gamble. Shariah law is not tolerated on German soil, Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere told the German papers on Saturday. Nobody can take is upon themselves to abuse the good name of the German police. Others have supported the comment, stating that the state alone has the authority to enforce justice. However, the founder of the Shariah police claims that patrols only intend to raise awareness in Wuppertal, in hopes of spreading knowledge for Islamic traditions. Still, police are now pressing charges against those that they find wearing the groups uniform: an orange safety vest with the words Shariah police across the back. Now, some reports are saying that the group was actually founded by Sven Lau, former leader of the Islamist group Invitation to Paradise. Lau claims that the patrol doesnt officially exist, but was meant solely to draw attention. Still, the joke is not being taken lightly. Intimidation or provocation wont be tolerated, concluded Wuppertal Police Chief Birgitta Rademacher. What do you think? What would you do if you saw the group walking in your city?
