A German court has authorized a group of self-appointed Sharia police to continue patrolling the streets and enforcing Islamic law in the city of Wuppertal.
The court ruled that the group, led by a hate preacher facing prosecution for sponsoring terror, could only have broken the law if the vests bearing the words “Shariah police” were “suggestively militant or intimidating”, a court spokesman said.
German law specifically outlaws uniforms that are threatening, such as those of Hitler’s brownshirts.
However many German citizens disagree with the court ruling, claiming they are intimidated by the orange hi-visibility jackets emblazoned with the words “Shariah police” worn by the Islamists.
The issue has been brewing since 2014, when some German politicians reacted strongly to reports of young Salafists conducting nightly Sharia police patrols in the city, ordering people to stop various activities, according to the International Business Times.
The Shariah police reportedly approached people near nightclubs, bars and casinos to deter them from un-islamic activities such as drinking alcohol and gambling.
