Muslims are expanding here in America as well. As they grow in number we can expect things just like this to happen here as well.

You mean like getting arrested and sent to jail when they break the law?

I would focus on the thousands of murders that are already happening every year in the US, rather than waiting with bated breath for such a time as a couple of Muslims commit mild harassment. Unless you want people to think you have a massive agenda!

Unfortunately/fortunately, the 2nd amendment only protects your right to bear arms, not your right to shoot anyone who commits an act of low-level harassment.

The gun-nuts on here talk a big game. But, I suspect, most of them would not have the testicular fortitude to actually shoot somebody.

This is the UK we're talking about, not Iraq.
Lots of things people shouldn't be doing in the first place yet still do, and sometimes continue to do even after being caught.

Three members of a so-called 'Muslim Patrol' were today jailed at the Old Bailey for repeatedly trying to enforce Sharia law in East London.

Jordan Horner and another Islamic extremist told one couple they could not hold hands while walking down the street, because it was in a 'Muslim area'.

The radicals also attacked a group of men drinking in the road, and told a woman she would face 'hell fire' because of the way she was dressed.

Horner, 19, Ricardo MacFarlane, 36, and a 23-year-old man who cannot be named for legal reasons were sentenced to 68 weeks, 12 months and 24 weeks in prison respectively.

Jailed: Jordan Horner, left, and Ricardo MacFarlane, right, have been sentenced to prison along with another man for their role in the self-styled 'Muslim Patrol'



The court earlier heard that last December Horner and the 23-year-old man drove alongside Joshua Bilton and Anna Reddiford in Bethnal Green, and started yelling at them through a megaphone.

The teenage convert shouted: 'Let go of each other's hands. This is a Muslim area!' - but the couple initially assumed it was a joke.

They stopped holding hands after the men repeated the message - and when they started again, the car blocked their way until they let go.



Two weeks later, Horner and MacFarlane attacked men drinking in Shoreditch, shouting: 'Kill the non-believers.'

Horner then punched two of the group, hitting James Forward in the jaw and knocking out Patrick Kavanagh with a sucker punch to the head.

On January 13, Horner and the 23-year-old harassed another couple, Clare Coyle and Robert Gray, as they were walking in Stepney - accusing Miss Coyle of being a 'slag'.

Lamentable as the actions of these individuals indeed are, it's worth noting that the principal focus of their unhappiness was a particular liberty enjoyed by residents of London: the ability to drink alcohol in public places. One can't do this in Texas, one may note.
