A pair of Islamic converts joined a ‘Muslim Patrol’ in east London to impose Sharia Law, threatening to stab people they believed to be anti-islamic and confiscating their alcohol.
Ricardo McFarlane, 26, and a 23-year-old man who cannot be named for legal reasons, joined convert Jordan Horner, 19, of Walthamstow, east London, roaming the streets in the early hours of the morning last December and this January.
The group confronted members of the public whom they suspected were non-Muslims berating them for their alleged anti-Islamic behaviour.
They threatened to ‘kill non believers’ and ‘shank’ - stab - them and uploaded videos to Youtube criticising non-Muslims for being inappropriately dressed.
The campaign against Western culture culminated when Horner assaulted two men in Tower Hamlets when the 'patrol' confronted them.
Around 4am on January 6 of this year Horner, McFarlane and the 23-year-old approached a group of five men walking along the street, snatched cans of beer out of their hands before emptying them into the gutter.
Horner demanded: 'Why are you poisoning your body? It is against Islam.
This is Muslim Patrol. Kill the non-believers.'
One then told another to 'go get the shank' in reference to a knife but as the group of men started walking away Horner threw punches hitting at least two of the men.
He and a 23-year-old also threatened a man and two doctors Claire Coyle and Robert Gray around the Bethnal Green Road and Great Eastern Street areas of east London on December 19 last year and January 13 this year.
At an earlier hearing at Thames Magistrates Court in July prosecutor Kehinde Adesina said during the January 6 incident Horner and his extremist pals took to the streets to enforce Sharia Law in what they call being on 'Muslim Patrol'.
The prosecutor said: 'Prior to the incident there were some videos uploaded to Youtube about people being inappropriately dressed in east London.
'Between 4am and 5am a group of five male friends were out drinking enjoying a night out. They had cans of beer in their hands.
'The group were approached by Mr Horner and some other men in Muslim dress.
They took the beer can out of one of the men’s hands and poured it out.
'Then they said the words "why are you poisoning your body? It is against Islam. This is Muslim Patrol.
Kill the non believers".'
'Then they said the words
She said: 'The victims describe the main aggressor as being ginger with a ginger beard.
'And one victim said the white ginger male punched him in the jaw.
'It was a group attack and a religiously aggravated assault.'
The 23-year-old of Finsbury Park, north London, who has convictions for section 4 offences in April of last year, handling stolen goods and dishonesty, was remanded back into custody.
Today prosecutor Alexander Chalk said: 'The significant change is the Crown is not seeking a trial against the 23-year-old in respect to the allegations involved on January 6.
'Otherwise everyone has admitted offences reflected on this indictment.'
Horner, the 23-year-old and McFarlane are all due to be sentenced on December 6
Horner, Ricardo McFarlane and a third man will be sentenced next month.
