Muslim Community Patrol Cars In Brooklyn Sparks Backlash...

No. They’re not a part of the NYPD, though they certainly look like it.

The new Muslim Community Patrol cars seen driving through parts of Staten Island and Brooklyn have all the hallmarks of an NYPD police car – with identical car model and similar decals and artwork – but they are not an official branch of New York’s Finest.

“We have seen Sharia patrols in Austria, Denmark, Sweden, the UK, the Netherlands, and Germany. So why is it inconceivable that they could arise in New York City? It isn’t,” wrote Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch.

No so long ago, an incident arose in England that sparked international outrage when a group of Muslims calling themselves the Muslim Patrol started demanding that non-Muslims in London move away from their mosque.

“Go away now,” they would shout at passersby. “Don’t come back. Don’t come back. Keep your mouth closed.”

“We the Muslim community,” one said, “will continue to patrol the streets and clear the streets of...
