“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<\/a> The Daily Beast<\/I> from England.<\/p>\n

Hooded men derided women as ‘naked animals with no self-respect’; claimed alcohol was evil; and said to one man ‘you\u2019re walking through a Muslim area dressed like a fag, mate’,” wrote Nico Hines.<\/p>\n

“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.” <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
