About this episode
Muslim Community Patrol Faces BACKLASH From Locals. Some feel that this group may appear too much like NYPD while even local muslims are concerned that this group could cause a major backlash against their community if they are seen doing something wrong. The fears are not without merit. A few years ago a jewish group called Shomrim was criticized for being "judge and jury" after beating a man they say was committing a crime. But while many conservatives and republicans are concerned that this may be a sharia law police force the group says they are just a "community watch on steroids." They also aren't the only group with the Asian patrol and Jewish patrol groups having existed for years. Support the show (http://timcast.com/donate) Learn more about your ad choices.
