'Muslim Patrol' police London streets

[The Straight Story]

In East London, a group under the name of "Muslim Patrol" have been posting YouTube videos showing them patrolling the streets of predominantly Muslim neighbourhoods and harassing people who they think are not conforming to Muslim law, the moral code and religious law of Islam.

According to UK census data, the last decade saw the number of Muslims in London increase by eight per cent. Areas such as Tower Hamlets, where some of these so-called "Muslim Patrols" are taking place, house a Muslim population of 34.5 per cent.

The prevalence of these incidents is growing, and now some local shops are allegedly afraid to sell alcohol or employ uncovered women. Five men involved in the attacks have been arrested.

The "Muslim Patrol" appear to target people who are drinking alcohol or dressed in a way they deem to be inappropriate.

1. I don't usually go for Mob Justice

but this seems like a time when a group of people who want these idiots gone could chase them out by scaring them enough and showing them they are not going to put up with bullshit religious extremism.

3. Why is this happen in Britain and not the US?

Metro Detroit has very biggest Muslim population, many who are immigrants and have never heard anything similar happening here or the rest of the country. But seen stories before about Britain having issues with their Muslim immigrant population and stories like are often sited by Islamophobes in the US to build fear.
