In a moment of amazing bending over backward to not enforce a clear violation of the law.

A German court has ruled that seven Islamists who formed a vigilante patrol to enforce Sharia law on the streets of Wuppertal did not break German law and were simply exercising their right to free speech.

The ruling, which effectively legitimizes Sharia law in Germany, is one of a growing number of instances in which German courts are — wittingly or unwittingly — promoting the establishment of a parallel Islamic legal system in the country.

The self-appointed "Sharia Police" sparked public outrage in September 2014, when they distributed yellow leaflets which established a "Sharia-controlled zone" in the Elberfeld district of Wuppertal. The men urged both Muslim and non-Muslim passersby to attend mosques and to refrain from alcohol, cigarettes, drugs, gambling, music, pornography and prostitution.

...

Wuppertal Mayor Peter Jung said he hoped the police would take a hard line against the Islamists: "The intention of these people is to provoke and intimidate and force their ideology upon others. We will not allow this."Wuppertal Police Chief Birgitta Radermacher said the "pseudo police" represented a threat to the rule of law and that only police appointed and employed by the state have the legitimate right to act as police in Germany. She added:

"The monopoly of power lies exclusively with the State. Behavior that intimidates, threatens or provokes will not be tolerated. These 'Sharia Police' are not legitimate. Call 110 [police] when you meet these people."

Wuppertal's public prosecutor, Wolf-Tilman Baumert, argued that the men, who wore orange vests emblazoned with the words "SHARIAH POLICE," had violated a law that bans wearing uniforms at public rallies. The law, which especially prohibits uniforms that express political views, was originally designed to prevent neo-Nazi groups from parading in public. According to Baumert, the vests were illegal because they had a "deliberate, intimidating and militant" effect.

On November 21, 2016, however, the Wuppertal District Court ruled that the vests technically were not uniforms, and in any event did not pose a threat. The court said that witnesses and passersby could not possibly have felt intimidated by the men, and that prosecuting them would infringe on their freedom of expression. The "politically correct" decision, which may be appealed, effectively authorizes the Sharia Police to continue enforcing Islamic law in Wuppertal.

Where are all the children, old, and women refugees if they are fleeing war and disaster? Overwhelmingly young men, including "teens' who are really 5 years older than they claim. Just lose the passport after you cross into Germany and you're all set. "I'm only 16" (Ha, infidel, I am 23, but this will make my application faster and more likely to be approved).

And you should pay $10,000 down to have more than one child (whether male or female).

Way more than that. Each child should require a non-returnable prepayment of $304,480. This pays for all socialized costs of children including education costs up to and including college degrees, parks, all safety and protection services, food stamps, basic clothing, day care, and medical care. You should also be 100% debt free.

This would have many benefits.
1. Paying for all the extra services the state provides for children.
2. Eliminating deficits.
3. Reducing other taxes.
4. Eliminating childhood poverty by assuring critical expenses are paid.
5. Discouraging overpopulation.

And, of course, apply this same exact financial criteria for all immigrants, legal or not. I suspect we'd solve many problems at once.

As a side benefit, this would force women to choose good mates that are willing and able to financially support children. Encouraging non-productive people to reproduce is never a good thing. You reap what you sow.

Islam claims freedom of speech and freedom of religion for itself, and then explicitly and violently denies those rights to everyone else.

They are not peaceful, or if they are, it is only to the extent that they aren't in sufficient force to win a confrontation.

Just look at the Islam party in Belgium: they already stated that they want to create an Islamic state in Belgium. It is their stated goal.

i.e. Their stated goal is to fundamentally reject all values and institutions that make western civilization possible.

They use the freedom YOU grant them to reject western freedom in general for everyone.

And they reproduce faster than non-Muslims.

And they are a cult. They spread those beliefs. In fact these patrols represent an obvious attempt at proselytizing.

They are using the freedoms granted by democracy, to destroy democracy.
We need to step back and curtail some of the freedoms until the threat is gone.

Germany would definitely not allow private patrols from political parties (think: brownshirt nazis of the 1930s)), so why would they allow religious patrols?

And is it not illegal to claim to be POLICE or POLIZEI?

Anyone who believes in Shariah is by definition rejecting the core European values and institutions.

Lol, "destruction of the u.s." seems to mean repeated stock market records since Trump's election. If that's "destruction", sounds good!

And those global military bases? Trump wants to reduce their number. Unlike warmonger HIllary.

You can look at these socialized costs as partial(!) repayment from society to the parents who raise the children, for their efforts and expenses. Or you think the parents should bear the whole burden for an activity that benefits society (as well as them, of course)?

Many aren't, but you still can't arrest them until they commit a crime. That's a basic right.

Right. But you can refuse them to immigrate. Immigration is not a basic right. Problem avoided.

dress up in silly outfits and tried to....

recruit people to Islam. The Islamic State is currently waging war against the west. For males, the uniform consists primarily of a beard and something to indicate they're working for Islam, e.g. lethal weapons (to "kill the disbelievers wherever you find them") or in this instance "SHARIA POLICE" vests. They are advocating killing you, and the violent overthrow of "man-made law" to replace it with Sharia, which is charlatan-made law. They are recruiting others to enable them to achieve their avowed goal. They appear to be committing multiple crimes, and demonstrating why importing Islam into the west is a dreadful mistake.

If you focus too narrowly on the individual actions without regard to the larger whole, then you miss the point. Consider a bank robbery in which someone gets killed. In American law since the founding of the republic, and in British law before then, the conspirators have all committed felony murder. That includes the lookout who stood outside to warn of approaching police, and in modern times the driver of the getaway car. If you focus only on the driver, he didn't even go in the bank, at most all he did was park illegally and then maybe exceed the speed limit. That isn't the point. The point is, he enabled a team effort that got someone killed, knowing that was a foreseeable result.

It's the same with the San Bernardino convert who bought assault weapons for the jihadis. He might not have known the specific target, but that isn't the point. He knew he was arming jihadis to kill people in the name of Islam, which they did. It was foreseeable from the time he gave weapons to the jihadis that the jihadis would use them in jihad.

Islam runs directly contrary to western law. These "SHARIA POLICE" are trying not only to break one or two particular laws (don't rob banks and kill people), but to overthrow western law in general. It is suicidally shortsighted to focus only on the actions of the scouts and recruiters while ignoring the larger teams that they're working for. The German court appears to have insisted on seeing Islam only as a religion or fashion statement, rather than an inherently violent, global totalitarian faction.

Throughout history damn few people are responsible for most advancements. All people are responsible for consumption and pollution. I see no benefits in increasing the population or even maintaining the existing population. So why would we provide financial incentives to do so?

Sure, have children if you want to and can afford them, but the costs of children should be borne -- no pun intended -- by the parents.

Incentivize things that benefit society, not cost society. If anything, we should incentivize childlessness.

I do always check first, and found several channels reporting the same photo, really across the spectrum from Guardian to DW to Breitbart, which has the full video that the photo comes from. Gatestone Institute and others have the article.

And there you reveal your hateful nature. Remember it was your party that bombed out the war zone and financed Sunni militias to force refugees out of it and into NATO countries. (Notice the Saudis don't take them.) You expose yourself as a hateful fool when you wish ill upon people and claim to be bombing people in order to save them.

The problem of Sharia patrols has been reported across the Islamic world from Bangladesh (where they murder bloggers in broad daylight with impunity) to now Germany and Denmark and recently London. I hope it doesn't happen to you, but if you really want that experience there are already too many other countries you could move to.

You know very well that going this way makes things intractably complicated. Are you going to select for whose services to pay on individual basis? Then how are we going to track the benefits of the individuals (the children after they have grown up) from which you have opted out?

Dan8267 says

You getting your genetic code in the next generation does not benefit me. So why would I buy that?

Actually I don't particularly care about propagating my genetic code; it rather quickly gets diluted anyway. You get the benefit of having people to run our society and taking care of all your needs that you cannot provide for on your own (including sexual :) ).

Dan8267 says

That is an illusion. Everybody had to have parents (on average average folks), had to eat, learn, receive medical care, live in relatively safe environment, be stimulated by others, use the tools and knowledge created by others, etc.

Dan8267 says

I see no benefits in increasing the population or even maintaining the existing population.

Here I agree with you. I would not mind some incentives for people to not have many children (or rather incentives to have few). However, this usually happens naturally in the developed countries for a number of reasons. What we need to fight is the notion that slightly declining population is bad, and policies that aim to fight this by encouraging immigration.

63   Dan8267   2016 Dec 9, 8:09am  

FP says

Are you going to select for whose services to pay on individual basis?

Socialization isn't an all or nothing game. There's this thing called scope. The costs of a good or service can be socialized at any scope from the individual to the entire world and everywhere in between. For example, the cost of lighthouses can be socialize over the set of boat ownerships by having a registration tax that pays for, among other things, lighthouses. People without boats don't pay this tax. However, they do indirectly occurs some of its costs by paying for goods delivered by boat. A parenting tax socializes the cost of children over the set of parents. Those who aren't parents shouldn't pay it just like those who aren't boat owners shouldn't pay for boat registration.

FP says

I understand. I was using the generic "you".

FP says

This can be done with a world population of less than a million. We've way gone beyond the point where we're getting additional benefits with more people. The fact is that there are limits to what populations are sustainable and are sustainable at any given quality of life. It's impossible to have an infinite number of people on Earth. Therefore, the optimal number of people on Earth, by any criteria, must be a finite number. Since there is no largest finite number, there is a point of overpopulation no matter what criteria you hold.

None of which requires a population of more than a million people world-wide.

Nonetheless, actual advancements that prolong life or improve the quality of life, are accomplished by damn few people. The vast majority of people would simply live in a stagnant society if it weren't for those other few. This is unfortunate, but true.

Perhaps it's changing a bit in the modern time with more people working in STEM, but as our economy as clearly shown, you don't need that many people in STEM to get incredible benefits. And our society is trying to purge STEM professionals as much as possible because they actually have some economic bargaining power.

Most people in America don't actually do anything worth while. Half of the people are middle men doing nothing significant but siphoning wealth. Another 10%, at least, are playing zero-sum games that drag down the economy. Then there are the politicians, lawyers, war profiteers, and owner class that actually make the economy worse off the more work they do.

If we limit the population to its current levels and eliminate all the above parasitic activity, then we could easily provide a basic guaranteed income great enough for all people to live on without occurring any costs other than the income taken from those parasites.

Empirically false. Science is full of examples where the few great achievers came from all walks of life, including poverty. Leisure time and curiosity, more than resources, has been the prime reason why some people make great advancements.
