It will be like a Neighbourhood Watch scheme but on a larger scale. We want to police ourselves.

CRAZED extremist Anjem Choudary is planning to set up teams of Islamic “Guardian Angels” to bring Sharia law to the UK.

East London-based bigot Anjem Choudary reckons hardline “Sharia cops” will do a better job of policing Muslim areas than traditional officers.

The 44-year-old firebrand hopes to roll out the scheme to high-density Muslim areas across Britain such as Luton in Bedfordshire, Bradford and Dewsbury in West Yorkshire, and Whitechapel in London’s East End, as well as Southall in west London and parts of the West Midlands.

Last night he said: “In these ‘Emirates’, these Islamic enclaves, we are going to start implementing our own neighbourhood watch, our own police.

“We will not stop and search you but we will be able to perform citizens’ arrests. We want to protect Muslims and their property. It will be like a Neighbourhood Watch scheme but on a larger scale. We want to police ourselves.

“Of course we do not want people to break the law but we want them to be able to go out and protect themselves and their property.

“I think this is the right direction. It is about time the Muslims took these things into their own hands. We cannot trust the Government, we cannot trust the police to look after the welfare of Muslims.”

The original Guardian Angels were a volunteer group who patrolled the streets of New York.

Last night a Home Office spokeswoman warned the preacher: “Any breach of UK law is dealt with by the police.”

In another astonishing rant, the former lawyer revealed he also has plans to kick into touch government attempts to better integrate the Muslim community into the British way of life following the 7/7 bombings inquiry.

The radical warned he is planning to print up to 10,000 copies of an Islamic version of the “Prevent Violent Extremism” strategy in which he outlines how Muslims can lead a purely Islamic way of life, separate from the “corrupt nature” of British values.

He vowed: “The difference is when we talk about ‘violent extremism’ we are talking about the occupation of Muslim lands.

“I believe the whole Prevent Strategy is designed to strip Muslims of their Islamic personality. They want to give us a different Islam, a British Islam, not the Islam of the Messenger Mohammed.

“We are Muslim first and last and we have to integrate with Islam only.”
