Islamic extremists have called on British Muslims to establish three independent states within the UK.
The notorious Muslims Against the Crusades (MAC) group have named Yorkshire towns Bradford and Dewsbury and Tower Hamlets in East London as testbeds for blanket sharia rule.
The medieval 'emirates' would operate entirely outside British law, according to a document on the MAC website.
The MAC group, led by Abu Assadullah, was set up last year and has become notorious because of its violent protests, most provocatively burning poppies during the Remembrance Day silence.
Under the heading 'Muslims should set up Islamic emirates in the UK', MAC says: 'We suggest it is time that areas with large Muslim populations declare an emirate delineating that Muslims trying to live within this area are trying to live by the sharia as much as possible with their own courts and community watch and schools and even self sufficient trade.
'Likely areas for these projects might be Dewsbury or Bradford or Tower Hamlets to begin with. In time we can envisage that the whole of the sharia might one day be implemented starting with these enclaves.'
The call is likely to cause anger among moderate Muslims and dhimmi community leaders in the areas concerned. Ian Greenwood, dhimmi leader of Bradford Council, said people would 'not allow extremists to provoke them into violence'.
In 2007, it was alleged that a number of Muslims in Dewsbury were running an illegal Islamic court from a school and similar claims have been made in Tower Hamlets and Bradford.
Tower Hamlets council was last year accused of falling under the control of extremist groups following a documentary by the Daily Telegraph journalist Andrew Gilligan.
The plan is part of the MAC's response to the government's revised Prevent strategy to combat Islamic extremism. In its document, called Islamic Prevent, the fanatics also call for an end to CCTV cameras in and around mosques.
It says: 'Muslims must get rid of all CCTV cameras from Muslim institutions. Sadly many mosques have today adopted CCTV cameras to spy on Muslims on behalf of the police and local authorities.'
Other inflammatory instructions include demanding the release of all Muslim prisoners, a ban on Muslims joining the police or armed forces and a rejection of British democracy.
The document ends: 'We can conclude that measures by the UK government are nothing more than an attempt by them to strip the Muslim community of their Islamic identity and to integrate them into the non-Islamic way of life.'
Dhimmi Councillor Greenwood added: 'Extremism is less likely to emerge when people get the opportunity to come together. With multiculturalism!
'Local voluntary, community and faith groups, the council, and other public and private sector partners, all work together in Bradford to strengthen community relations and encourage better understanding and respect between all our communities.
'We believe that this is one of the best ways to build a tolerant society in which extremism plays no part.'
Tower Hamlets and Kirklees Council, the local authority for Dewsbury, refused to comment.

...er, ok, like the Brits say, '8ring it on'. Going to be interesting how the Vth column portrays the EDL response, more smears with a thicker brush, I would hazard.
Ronnie Fraser, a doctoral student and director of the Academic Friends of Israel, accuses UCU of breaching UK's Equality Act.
Delicious! Hoisted with/by their own petard and all that.
LONDON A British academic has initiated legal proceedings against his own trade union, accusing them of anti-Semitism and harassment of its Jewish members after its decision to not recognize an internationally-accepted definition of anti-Semitism.
Fraser, a doctoral student and director of the Academic Friends of Israel, has written to the University College Union (UCU), Britains largest trade union for academics representing roughly 120,000 university lecturers accusing them of breaching the UKs Equality Act of 2010.
Last month, the UCU voted to disassociate itself from the European Union Monitoring Center on Racism and Xenophobias definition of anti-Semitism, leading to accusations it is institutionally racist.
Mostly because it is, but go on...
The union passed the resolution at its annual conference in Harrogate in Yorkshire, claiming that the definition stifles debate and is used to deflect criticism of Israel.
In the letter, Fraser says that after 11 years as a member he has had enough of the UCUs anti-Semitic policies.
With his options limited to either resign or take legal action, he has chosen the latter.
In a letter sent to UCU General Secretary Sally Hunt, Anthony Julius the eminent lawyer and deputy chairman at London law firm Mishcon de Reya, which is representing Fraser accused the union of attempting to legislate anti-Semitism out of existence as a result of it being unable to defend itself against the charge of a certain institutional anti-Semitism.
Julius sets out Frasers demands for resolution which includes an acknowledgement of the UCUs institutionally anti-Semitic policies, an apology to its Jewish members, the drawing up of a code of conduct in relation to its Jewish members and a commitment to sponsor an education program on the dangers of anti-Semitism.
The letter states that failure to meet these demands, responding by August 5, will result in an Equality Act claim at an employment tribunal led by Fraser, which it says he will likely win.
He expects to win, and in winning, to perform a service not just to his fellow Jewish UCU members and ex-members, but to the cause of decent, principled trade unionism, Julius said.
Julius also listed some of the institutionally anti- Semitic acts by the union over the years, including the calls to boycott Israeli academia and an invitation for committed anti-Semite Bongani Masuku, international secretary of the Congress of South African Trade Unions.
Masuku addressed the union in 2009 at a forum to discuss the boycott, divestment, sanctions campaign against Israel. In the same year, the South African Human Rights Commission found Masuku guilty of using inflammatory, threatening and insulting statements against the South African Jewish community after he issued threats against Jewish businesses and supporters of Israel and pronouncements declaring that Jews who support Israel must leave the country.
