Muslims wanting to keep their religious beliefs, but also assimilate into American culture are certainly welcome like any other legal immigrant.
However that does not mean they can start creating enclaves where women, homosexuals or infidels can be harmed for lack of religious adherence.

That's exactly what the apologists said in Britain, Denmark, Belgium and Spain.

One of the NYC founders is on record saying the patrols are "Dawah through action", essentially... proselytising.

They'll be harassing people within 6 months and out of the fake police business within a year.

I am sure the people in favor of these cars and uniforms would also be fine with similar cars and uniforms with a giant crucifix patrolling the streets of NYC harassing people?

Because I've known a few Muslims and they weren't responsible for terrorism. Their religion did preach peace. And they were very nice. A little chauvinistic. But the Hindus I've met were far more chauvinistic.

The Muslim Community Patrols aren't enforcing sharia law. They aren't. Period.
