Then all I can say is that you mistake their outspokenness for confrontationalism. They have a very developed sense of proper comportment and adherence to societal rules. Any reply to their admonishments are totally unexpected on their part. However, admonishing them for what they see as perfectly acceptable behaviour or physically touching them, let-alone shoving them, would be seen as outrageous.

Unless you spend all your time in the red-light districts of Berlin, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Duisburg, Cologne or Düsseldorf you are not likely to become a crime victim.

If you have ever encountered physically aggressive Germans you are hanging out in the wrong part of town.

lol the incidence of that in Germany is very much lower than in several other European Nations.

Indeed. You can always have a bad luck evening and run into a bunch of hooligans looking for some recreational violence. But usually it's pretty civilized around here. You definitely do not run the risk of getting caught in a gang shootout crossfire or getting shot by the police for obscure reasons.

What I don't remember: were they going around admonishing basically everybody or did they do that selectively to people who looked like a muslim background to them?

Also, Fisherking, what other sharia police incidents here in Germany are you referring to? I know of only one.

I've not tried to find the old articles but there were several patrols over a week or two before the arrest. I think I recall they were in a couple of cities.

It's a creeping poison, not a knockout punch. We got the clock, they got the time.

Yeah, German football fans are more likely to be found fast asleep in the stadiums ;)

I meant that if an English fan were going to pick up a fight in Germany he would have it.
