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. …

I have a feeling they would find the anti-Sharia Police guilty.

That implies that Ten Commandment Police are also legal, or any other vigilante cause for that matter. Germans have fallen so far.

My limited experience is they are so sensitive about “being offended!” that simply offering a Muslim something they cannot have is enough to spark a psychotic tirade!
We get enough to show their true colors and we’ll win more converts to keep them out.
contrast that with Hindus who almost apologize to you for their own beliefs.
“Thank you! Come again!”

So is not ok to stand outside an abortion office with signs and slogans asking women not to have abortions?
