A German court on Monday ruled that a group of Islamists did not break the law in forming “sharia police” street patrols and telling people to stop drinking, gambling and listening to music.
The ultra-conservative Muslim group around German Salafist convert Sven Lau sparked public outrage with their vigilante patrols in the western city of Wuppertal in 2014, but prosecutors have struggled to build a case against them.
The city’s district court ruled that the seven accused members of the group did not breach a ban on political uniforms when they approached people while wearing orange vests bearing the words “Sharia Police”.
Judges said there could only be a violation of the law — originally aimed against street movements such as the early Nazi party — if the uniforms were “suggestively militant or intimidating”, a court spokesman said. …

Orange is the new black.
Germany is committing suicide right before our eyes.
If this were happening in my neighborhood, I’d see if a bunch of us would get together and hand out pork products being the “Freedom Police” to preach freedom of choice to eat what you like.
“Good Day! Sorry, all out of haleem, would you like a pound of bacon instead?? Perhaps a bag of chicharones?”
Sounds like a gate just swung wide open for gospel preachers to walk through, too.
They’d be foolish not to.
Yeah, what you said
There’s such a thing as taking that at face value and preaching at them to enjoy freedom and do the supposedly immoral things in celebration.
She’s got to be getting huge sums of money from some raghead countries somewhere. There’s truly no other explanation. Not even insanity could explain it.
Goodbye Germany! you thought the nazis were bad? just wait until the sharia savages extend their reach to non-muzlims. It will happen.
I wake up every morning and thank God that we seem to have saved ourselves from this same fate (at least for now).
“How about that they have no f-ing right to tell other people what to do? “
Anybody has the right to tell anyone else what to do, and anyone else has the right to do what they want to do.
But in this case it seems the German courts are bending over backwards to not acknowledge the uniformed Sharia Police are violating the law.
American attitudes are, let’s say, different.
We have our rednecks.
Hopefully SOON before Germany is completely lost.
If they ever DID treat this as intimidation, they know that they’d get wailed at by the sharia set.
So what’s to do. Maybe they could use bands of “anti sharia police” in answer. They do X, the anti sharia police do X’. Etc, etc.
Who would be likely to step in if Merkel is ditched?
“’Sharia police’ are not illegal, rules German court”
Great ! Lets see what they think about the second Crusades !
Yeah. What WASN’T said is as important as what WAS.
Germany, if you want to be rid of these troublesome priests... start preaching yourselves.

Total bunch of cowardly horsecrap about the look of the uniforms. You know if some group put on the same orange vests saying “Limit Immigrants Police” that they’d be arrested pronto.
“and telling people to stop drinking, gambling and listening to music.”
those are all nanny state rules, how is that remotely conservative, ultra or otherwise?
afiak I love to drink, gamble and listen to music and I’m as gentle as a putty cat. Hugs all around folks!
“Wow. Angela Merkel is going to get the Mussolini Lampost treatment if this keeps up.”
I think of it as the “Romanian Retirement” plan.
And I’m good with that. She has earned every bit of it.
