“A band of Islamic vigilantes has admitted to roaming the streets of East London, confronting and threatening to kill non-believers in an effort to enforce Sharia law. Three men have pleaded guilty to related charges after self-proclaimed ‘Muslim Patrols’ attacked, intimidated and threatened to stab members of the public,” reports The Daily Beast from England.

“East London’s ‘Muslim Patrols’ first came to attention when a a series of videos were posted on YouTube including one called The Truth About Saturday Night, in which a group of men threatened and berated members of the public for being gay, dressing inappropriately and drinking alcohol. Hooded men derided women as ‘naked animals with no self-respect’; claimed alcohol was evil; and said to one man ‘you’re walking through a Muslim area dressed like a fag, mate’,” wrote Nico Hines.

“The three men will be sentenced on December 6. The judge warned that they could be imprisoned. ‘The court does consider this passes the custody threshold,’ she said.”
