It's a very short step from posters on telegraph poles to mob rule and vigilantism. Even though so called 'Sharia controlled areas' are legally illegitimate, the posters promote the idea that they are legitimate and as such send a very dangerous message to impressionable people. They imply that it is legitimate to create areas where the host country's rule of law can be either circumvented or entirely overruled.
