Oh Hell -- here we go again with the phony Muslim "no-go" zones and the Sharia Police.

My sister, who serves as the logical Crazy Uncle in our family, is bent out of shape over some crazy video about "Sharia Police" enforcing Sharia law in some city or another (not clear if it's Europe or US, and not eager to ask). No good pointing her to Snopes; it's like she's outraged by whatever initial report she sees, and greets any fact checking with "well, how do you know THEY aren't lying?" No good pointing out that this story circulated twice before, and was debunked twice before.

Any one else seen this one lately ? I'm a little curious as to whether there's new fake or misleading video, a la James O'Keefe, or if anyone knows the source of the new outbreak.


ETA: Apparently, there's a video from 2015 that makes the rounds occasionally, it sounds like it may be the same one. See https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2013/dec/06/muslim-vigilantes-jailed-sharia-law-attacks-london

1. Look, normally, this sort of thing would interest me enough to do a search for it

But I think I'm done with that now. It doesn't accomplish a thing. Just like you said, you can lead an elephant to Snopes, but you can't make her read it.

2. Christ, that irrational Sharia law fear gets me too. Heck some of our

white wing Christian crud is just as bad.

Haven’t seen this video, but I’ve seen a bunch of the darn things.

3. But I've seen them putting up signs for shawarma!
