Saw I am walking down the street and get harassed by the Sharia Law Enforcement (is that what they are called?) couldn't I call the local police force and report unfair harassment or assault by the Sharia Law people?


This is confusing to me, sorry.

I grew up in Pennsylvania, just outside Philadelphia and encountered the PA Dutch, better known as the Amish. they live their lives adhering to a different standard than the rest of the surround area, bit they live in harmony (for the most part, of course there are cases of exceptions) but by and large the Amish live their lives in complete harmony with the majority, even doing business with them. The Amish make a lot of money off tourists and through their businesses selling produce, jams, honey, preserved goods, blankets, rugs, etc.

What a puzzling situation. Is this Sharia law area a predominantly muslim area?
