There is a Shia Islam mosque in my neighborhood, but those dudes only keep to themselves and sweep up the sidewalks outside the mosque.
If these Sharia Laws are being implemented by muslims in the area who is to say everyone must abide?
This is the first I have heard of this happening, so please excuse my questions. Do you have any other information on this matter? I am quite intrigued.

Two-tier policing system, it appears that in the UK you can have "muslim areas" but I believe if you were to declare an area "non-muslim" you would be arrested.
Same for burning poppies, the police stand there and let people burn them, yet if you were to retaliate and burn something they consider offensive it would be you who gets arrested.
