Bigoted members of British society must be speedily wringing their hands and tensely furrowing their eyebrows in anger that this has happened. While not quite the same as the Name Your Hood campaign, Islamic extremists have launched a poster campaign across the UK proclaiming areas where Shariah law enforcement zones have been set up.
The striking yellow poster is emblazoned with the slogan: “You are entering a Sharia-controlled zone – Islamic rules enforced”, and has been seen on bus stops and street lamps across certain boroughs in London.
Within the zone, there should be “no gambling”, “no music or concerts”, “no porn or prostitution”, “no drugs or smoking” and obviously “no alcohol”.
Fears have been raised that local residents from affected areas like Waltham Forest, Tower Hamlets and Newham may be intimidated or feel threatened for violating the new “rules”.
It has been reported that hate preacher, Anjem Choudary, coincidentally the same guy who runs the banned militant group Islam4UK, has claimed responsibility for the scheme.
Apparently he plans to flood specific Muslim and non-Muslim communities around the UK and “put the seeds down for an Islamic Emirate in the long term”.
According to Choudary:
We now have hundreds if not thousands of people up and down the country willing to go out and patrol the streets for us and a print run of between 10 000 and 50 000 stickers ready for distribution.
There are 25 areas around the country which the Government has earmarked as areas where violent extremism is a problem. We are going to go to all these same areas and implement our own Sharia-controlled zones.
This is the best way for dealing with drunkenness and loutishness, prostitution and the sort of thug life attitude you get in British cities.
Obviously you can’t just do this kind of thing without the proper permission and so Scotland Yard is now working with local councils to remove the posters and identify those responsible for putting them up.
Sensing a marketing opportunity, Choudary went on to say he was organising a protest against the Far Right in Waltham Forest this weekend following last Friday’s killing spree in Norway by anti-Islamic gunman Anders Breivik.
One can see his point when the world all-too-quickly points the finger, and almost always, immediately blames Muslims for extreme acts of violence.
Although on a far smaller fatality scale than the Norwegian disaster, right wing attacks happen around Europe far more frequently than you can imagine.
