Talk:Muslim patrol incidents in London

Still ongoing?

The lead in to this article says that these patrols "have patrolled streets in East London since at least early 2013." This implies that these patrols are still ongoing. I have not seen any news articles confirming this. Can someone confirm that this is true? If not, I will change it to the past tense. --Iamozy (talk) 22:25, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

Here's a link to an LBC programme broadcast in March this year; and one to a story posted just two days ago by Channel 4 news. Cheers, Alfietucker (talk) 02:04, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

Germany

A notable sharia patrol (or police) case turned up in Wuppertal, Germany in 2014: DW.de, NBC etc. It prompted resonse from the local police and the Minster of the Interior Thomas de Maizière commented that the sharia patrols are not acceptable. This article only covers the UK, should the scope be expanded? --Pudeo' 15:14, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

This does seem notable. I'm wondering whether there's enough material to create a separate article called something like "Sharia patrols, Wuppertal"? If so, we should perhaps revert the page move of this ("Sharia patrols") article back to "Sharia patrols (London)", as it was until 19 August. Or do other editors think we should make this a more international article? Alfietucker (talk) 15:48, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

p.s. With the possibility that the Wuppertal events may be a one-off incident, I've added a subsection covering this in the present article. Alfietucker (talk) 16:18, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Unless there's a link between the two groups, we shouldn't really include them in the same article. I don't think any scholarly sources have talked about a "Sharia patrol" pattern in general, so I don't think the general concept would merit an article. Also its worth noting that the UK group called itself "Muslim patrol" and that's how most sources report it.VR _talk 05:45, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

Yes, this whole article is a clear WP:SYNTH violation, taking two news topics which are not treated together by RSs and combining them under an article title that is not used in either case. I'll try to clean this up. Eperoton (talk) 17:00, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

German Criminal Supreme Court rejected the 2016 ruling.

The BGH (Germany's highest criminal court) rejected the ruling of rthe KLG Wuppertal. The case must be retrialed.

It has been suggested that "Shariah Police" incident in Wuppertal, Germany (2014) be merged into this article

• Oppose The sources cited in both articles describe a particular incident or series of incidents. Constructing a discussion of a broader topic like "Islamic vigilantism" out of these sources would violate WP:SYNTH. Eperoton (talk) 03:32, 24 July 2019 (UTC)

Why does this article use scare quotes?

The first sentence confirms the groups refer to themselves as Muslim patrols. There is no call for Wikipedia to cast doubt on the term. Aquinassixthway (talk) 15:03, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

Why does "modesty police" link here?

I feel like it might be better forwarding instead to the 'modesty police' in Iran, especially given the ongoing protests. Jo Dusepo (talk) 12:45, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
