We all know what Sharia enforcement looks like in the Islamic world.

We saw it when Mahsa Amini was murdered on September 16, 2022 by Iran’s “morality police”—beaten to death for resisting their hijab code.

She wasn’t some rebel.

She was a 22-year-old girl with a little too much hair showing. And they killed her for it.

That brutality sparked global outrage.

And then—just like the outrage—it faded.

Western feminists removed the hashtags. Politicians moved on. But the system that killed her didn’t disappear. It just got quieter—and closer.

But Sharia didn’t.

It just changed zip codes.

Across cities like London, New York, and Wuppertal, Germany, Islamic vigilantes are now patrolling Western streets—in police-style or military-like uniforms—confronting civilians, issuing Sharia commands, and declaring entire neighborhoods “Muslim zones.”

These aren’t volunteers.

They aren’t public servants.

They’re self-appointed enforcers of Islamic law—operating freely in democratic countries.

And the governments meant to protect us?

Either silent, or actively shielding them.

This isn’t “cultural diversity.”

It’s a strategic religious takeover of public space—by intimidation, repetition, and silence.

And no—this isn’t isolated.

It’s spreading.

When Sharia Puts on a Uniform. Where It’s Happening—And What Authorities Let It Slide

New York City – Ongoing
???????? United States

Public “dawah squads”—dressed in NYPD-colored jackets—stand in Times Square and other high-traffic areas, handing out Qurans and preaching against kufr (disbelief), haram behavior, and female immodesty.

They operate openly on public sidewalks, projecting authority without permission.

The NYPD?

Too afraid to confront it. Instead, they’ve partnered with Islamist groups like CAIR to conduct “cultural competency” workshops for officers.

???? [CAIR-NY Press Release, March 2022: “Working with NYPD on community outreach and sensitivity training”]

Let that sink in:

Police are being lectured by Sharia activists—while Sharia enforcers roam free.

London – 2013 to Present
???????? United Kingdom

Islamist patrols wearing high-visibility jackets marked “Sharia Patrol” took over streets in East London, confronting civilians, demanding women cover up, and destroying alcohol.In one video, they declared:

“This is a Muslim area. Alcohol is forbidden. Cover up. Leave now.”
???? [BBC, Jan 2014: “Islamist ‘Muslim Patrol’ jailed over East London incidents”]

One of the patrol members, Jordan Horner, was sentenced to 17 months in prison, suspended for two years—meaning he walked free unless he reoffended.

He did. Within months, Horner was re-arrested for violent extremist activity.

The police?

Warned the public not to “inflame tensions” with Islamophobic remarks.

Wuppertal – 2014
???????? Germany

A group of Salafists wore orange vests labeled “Sharia Police”, patrolling nightlife areas to enforce Islamic behavior.They warned citizens not to attend clubs, gamble, or drink—actions they claimed were “not befitting Muslims.”

German prosecutors declined to charge them with impersonating police.

The official ruling:

“The mere wearing of the vests was not enough to constitute intimidation.”
???? [Reuters, Dec 2015: “German court drops case against Islamic ‘Sharia police’]

All were acquitted.

Toronto – 2017 to Present
???????? Canada

The so-called “Muslim Safety Patrol” formed in Thorncliffe Park, a neighborhood with a large Islamic population.

Locals reported the group monitoring women’s clothing, mosque attendance, and community behavior under the guise of “public safety.”

Toronto Police met with and praised the group.

Inspector David Rydzik said:

“They’re helping reduce tension in the area. We support all community-led safety efforts.”
???? [Toronto Sun, June 2017: “Muslim safety patrol making waves in Thorncliffe Park”]

No official oversight.

No public challenge.

Paris Suburbs (Seine-Saint-Denis) – Ongoing
???????? France

In heavily Muslim neighborhoods, Sharia-style enforcement dominates daily life.Women without hijabs have been harassed. Stores have removed pork and alcohol to avoid conflict. Non-Muslims are openly warned to “respect Muslim rules.”

A 2016 undercover exposé by France 2 TV showed one man telling reporters:

“This is our neighborhood. We live by Islamic principles here.”
???? [France 24, Oct 2016: “France’s ‘no-go zones’ spark debate”]

French police?

Often told not to enter without backup—and to avoid confrontation.

Stockholm & Malmö – 2014 to Present
???????? Sweden

In districts like Rinkeby and Rosengård, police confirmed the presence of “moral patrols” confronting drinkers and pressuring women to dress modestly.

In 2015, a Stockholm officer told SVT:

“We see these as moral police… They’re trying to force people into following Sharia norms.”
???? [SVT News, Feb 2015: “Sharia police operating in Stockholm suburbs”]

Government response?

Dialogue training. No arrests.

Oslo (Grønland) – 2016
???????? Norway

Muslim youth groups engaged in coordinated moral intimidation—including harassing women for not wearing hijabs and threatening men for drinking publicly.

A 2016 internal police memo stated:

“Islamic moral policing is becoming more organized and widespread.”
???? [VG (Verdens Gang), Jan 2016: “Police Memo Warns of Islamic Patrols”]

The official response?

Downplay and deflect.

The media called it “youth misunderstandings.”

These aren’t isolated incidents. They’re test runs—and we keep failing.

This isn’t multiculturalism. It’s soft conquest—with the state’s permission.

This Isn’t New—It’s Doctrinal

What’s happening in New York, London, Toronto, and the rest of those Western cities isn’t spontaneous.

It’s not cultural confusion.

It’s Sharia in motion.

And for those hoping it’s just a few extremists taking things too far—wake up.

This is what Islam commands.

Qur’an 3:104:
“Let there arise out of you a group of people inviting to all that is good, enjoining what is right, and forbidding what is wrong.”

This isn’t about good deeds.

It’s about preaching Islam and enforcing Sharia on everyone else.

Reliance of the Traveller, m3.0
“Commanding the right and forbidding the wrong is a communal obligation.”

Reliance of the Traveller, m3.6
“One must censure with the tongue everyone one sees committing a wrong. If that is not possible, then with one’s hand.”

These aren’t spiritual suggestions.

They’re legal instructions.

And here’s what that means in practice:

And here in the U.S., while no one’s been beaten to death—yet—women have already been told how to dress by strangers on public streets. And our media calls it “diverse perspectives.”

This is how Sharia handles ‘wrongdoing’.

And the pattern isn’t abstract. It’s already carved into real graves:

This isn’t an Islamic past. It’s the present reality of Sharia-based society.

And if you think it could never happen here? So did the people who now live under it. They thought their silence would protect them. They thought the pressure would fade. They were wrong.

And we are making the same mistake.

Why It’s Happening Here. Hijrah. Denial. And the Willing Collapse of the West.

Hijrah isn’t just migration. It’s strategic migration—done for the sake of spreading Islam. The Prophet Muhammad himself made hijrah from Mecca to Medina to escape persecution—then returned as a conqueror. That model remains alive today.

This isn’t just happening because Muslims are enforcing Sharia.

It’s happening because Westerners are too distracted, too cowardly, or too corrupted to stop it.

Start with the people:

Most of the West is too busy watching TikTok influencers and obsessing over red-carpet outfits to notice what’s actually happening on their streets.

They don’t know what Sharia is. They don’t know what hijrah means.They don’t know the difference between a religious cop and a real one—because they’ve never had to.

Even on Hollywood’s biggest stage, Islamic ideology gets polished and served to the masses without context.

At the 2017 Oscars, the filmmakers of The White Helmets quoted the Quran in their acceptance speech:

“Whoever saves one life, it is as if he had saved mankind entirely.”
—Qur’an 5:32

What they didn’t mention was the next verse:

“Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger… is execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides.”
—Qur’an 5:33

Cherry-picking scripture for applause—while ignoring the part that commands mutilation and death for disbelievers—isn’t peace. It’s propaganda in a tuxedo.

Now look at the politicians:

They’ll shout “ISIS is evil” into a microphone…

Then turn around and hug, shake hands with, and pose for photos with the local mosque leader who believes in the same doctrines—minus the suicide vest.

It’s the perfect illusion:

Condemn terrorism in public… while embracing the ideology in policy.

Meanwhile, their own citizens are left confused, shamed, and unprotected—paying the price for their leaders’ photo ops.

And then there’s the Church.

Not the faithful remnant—but the polished pulpits and globalist ministries that confuse surrender with compassion.

They’ll kneel at interfaith gatherings, praising “shared values” while the cross is pushed behind rainbow banners and coexist bumper stickers.

Because apparently, loving your neighbor now means funding your own demise.

This isn’t just complicity.

It’s fear disguised as virtue—and it’s rotting the West from within.

It’s Not Coming. It’s Here.

Listen carefully—this isn’t theory. It’s not a warning for “somewhere down the line.” It’s already happening.

Sharia enforcers are walking your streets. They’re shouting down women, handing out commands, and marking territory. And people are obeying—not because it’s legal, but because fear is winning.

Stop telling yourself it won’t happen on your watch. It already is—while you’re still trying to decide if speaking up might offend someone.

When a fake cop yells “Cover up!” and people do—That’s not diversity. That’s not coexistence. That’s submission.

It doesn’t take legislation. It doesn’t take war. It just takes enough of us doing nothing.

You want to stop this?

Then stop lying to yourself.

Stand up. Speak out. Push back.

Because if you wait for someone else to save your country, you won’t have one left to save.

Because once Sharia doesn’t need law to win. All it needs is fear to be obeyed.
