Wow, am I ever glad such a thing could never ever happen here in the US of A!
REPORT: The ultra-conservative Muslim group around German Salafist convert Sven Lau sparked public anger with their vigilante patrols in 2014 in the western city of Wuppertal. A city court last December said the group would not face charges -- but a higher court has now overturned that decision, announcing that eight members of the group could face trial, without setting a date. It sided with state prosecutors who had argued the group's orange vests with the words "Sharia Police" on them constituted a violation of a ban on uniforms at public rallies. The state high court in Duesseldorf also found that the law -- which is aimed against militant street movements such as the early Nazi party -- could be applied in this case. The vests had signified the group's "shared political view" that traditional Islamic law could be applied on German streets, the court found.

Haha, this doesn't surprise me one bit. Of all of the countries you decide to try and form a uniformed radical police group in to try and control people you pick the one that has the most experience on just how bad that type of thing goes.

The time is coming where every Western Nation will have to deal with the same issue. This is why it is so important that our citizens recognize that there is only one law system in our country. We cannot have separate courts for separate belief systems. This can be equated to the slippery slope or a crack in the door. We need to ensure that all of the people within our borders understand that we all adhere to the same laws, the ones passed by our representatives, not laid out by a prophet some hundreds or thousands of years ago.

I don't care how much they want sharia law in the US. You come to our country you follow our rules. Don't like it? There is a very easy fix to it. Pack your stuff and go move to a place that has it. Look at what is happening to countries that let them have it. Note over my dead body would I let that happen.
