Women who do not wear headscarves are being threatened with violence and even death by Islamic extremists intent on imposing sharia law on parts of Britain, it was claimed today.
Other targets of the 'Talibanesque thugs', being investigated by police in the Tower Hamlets area of London, include homosexuals.
Stickers have been plastered on public walls stating: 'Gay free zone. Verily Allah is severe in punishment'.
It is believed Muslim extremists are behind a spate of attacks being investigated by police, according to the Sunday Times.
An Asian woman who works in a pharmacy in east London was told to dress more modestly and wear a veil or the shop would be boycotted.
When she went to the media to talk about the abuse she suffered, a man later entered the pharmacy and told her: 'If you keep doing these things, we are going to kill you'.
The 31-year-old, who is not a practising Muslim, said she has since been told to take holiday by the pharmacy owners and now fears she may lose her job.
She said: 'Why should I wear a hijab (headscarf) or burqa? I haven't done anything wrong.'
Other incidents reported include the placing of stickers across the white-minority borough which state it is a 'gay-free zone' and the daubing of paint on posters for clothing shop H&M featuring women in bikinis.
Ghaffar Hussain, of the anti-extremism thin tank the Quilliam Foundation, told The Sunday Times that the intimidation was the work of 'Talibanesque thugs'.
He added: 'This minority think they have the right to impose their fringe interpretation of Islam on others.'
Paul Rickett from the Met Police said: 'I am saddened that there are a small minority of people who do not wish to respect the lifestyle choices of others'.

You should sell this as a bumper sticker on Zazzle, assuming they don’t object to a swastika (in any context, even condemnatory). It’s accurate, that’s for sure.
I will not be surprised to see hijab-like fashion soon on the fashion runways of New York.
So after I typed this, I did a web search on fashion runway shows, and sure enough - model 22 or 23 or so in this slide show is wearing a hijab/burka style outfit in this Fall 2011 Fashion show. This is in America.

I do not DEAL in PC, and have been tolerating it less, and less in the last few years.
Why tolerate it at all?
Cities by definition have always been a melting pot, from Sumer to New York, Rome to London.
Get off at Golders Green, and youd think you were in Israel.
Dont fret so much. The vast majority of British Muslims are good people and not jihadis.
No we havent.
No she wont, nor will any monarch.
Charles is no Moozie, he is a man who respects all faiths and is fascinated by religion, be it Muslim, Buddhist, Sikh, Judaism or Christianity.
Charles is at worst neive, he is no nutter.
Sadly more interested in football and big boobs.
Seriously, our British restraint is wearing VERY thin. That said, the EDL et al are NOT the answer.
I will p*ss you off, but IMO the Moors were better than what replaced them in Spain post Reconquista.
Spain became an intolerant and anti-jewish country where freedoms were repressed, Jews became ghettoised and they gave the world the inquisition.
The Moors were like any major power ruthless, but they built a cultured society in southern spain, with some superb architecture, art and literature....
