doesn't describe the verbal threats of violence dished out to non-Muslims in parts of London and Manchester, as told to me by expats and, for example, by what Gatestone Institute and others have published:

" As Daniel Pipes puts it, "a more precise name for these zones would be Dar al-Islam" – the House of Islam, or the place where Islam rules. "

...

In the Tower Hamlets in East London – or as the Muslims there refer to it, "the Islamic Republic of Tower Hamlets" – imams known as the "Tower Hamlets Taliban" issue death threats to unveiled women, and gays are attacked by gangs of young Muslim men. The neighborhood has been littered with leaflets announcing, "You are entering a Sharia controlled zone. Islamic rules enforced." It was in East London, remember, that the Islamist Abu Izzadeen challenged former Home Secretary John Reid by saying: "How dare you come to a Muslim area?"
