Islamic extremists have launched a poster campaign across Britain proclaiming areas where Sharia law enforcement zones have been set up

Communities in Britain have been bombarded with the posters, which read: "You are entering a Sharia-controlled zone – Islamic rules enforced." The bright yellow messages daubed on bus stops and street lamps have already been seen across certain boroughs in London and order that in the zone there should be no gambling, no music or concerts, no porn or prostitution, no drugs or smoking and no alcohol. Islamic hate preacher Anjem Choudary has claimed responsibility for the scheme, saying that he plans to flood specific Muslim and non-Muslim communities around Britain and put the seeds down for an Islamic Emirate in the long term. Recently, dozens of streets in the London boroughs of Waltham Forest, Tower Hamlets and Newham have been targeted, raising fears that local residents may be intimidated or threatened for flouting Islamic rules. Women in parts of East London including Tower Hamlets have been threatened with violence and even death by Islamic extremists if they did not wear headscarves.
