Those So-Called European Muslim ‘No-Go Zones’ Aren’t A Thing, But Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal Talked About Them In A London Speech Anyway

Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal today invoked so-called Muslim “No-Go Zones” in Europe, which don’t actually exist and never have.

Delivering a speech on foreign policy in London Monday, Jindal condemned European governments for allowing the existence of certain enclaves, populated densely by Muslims, where Sharia Law takes precedence over democratic European law, referred to by some conservative media outlets as “No-Go Zones,” according to NBC News.

“It is startling to think that any country would allow, even unofficially, for a so-called ‘no-go zone’.”

The problem is, there is no such thing as a Muslim “No-Go Zone,” at least, not anywhere in Europe.

The term “No-Go Zone” entered the vernacular a few weeks ago, following the Charlie Hebdo massacre in Paris. On January 10, terrorism analyst Steve Emerson appeared on Fox News Channel’s Justice with Judge Jeanine program. During the broadcast, he spoke of neighborhoods in European cities where even the police fear to tread.

“[There are] places where the governments, like France, Britain, Sweden, Germany — they don’t exercise any sovereignty so you basically have zones where Sharia courts are set up, where Muslim density is very intense, where police don’t go in.”

The over-the-top allegation was quickly met with criticism, and Fox News later retracted parts of the story, according to this Inquisitr report. Anchor Julie Banderas admitted that the so-called Muslim “No-Go Zones” don’t exist.

“To be clear, there is no formal designation of these zones in either country and no credible information to support the assertion there are specific areas in these countries that exclude individuals based solely on their religion.”

Regardless, Jindal stuck to his words when pressed by CNN reporter Max Foster.

“I’ve heard from folks here that there are neighborhoods where women don’t feel comfortable going in without veils. That’s wrong. We all know that there are neighborhoods where police are less likely to go into. I think that the radical Left absolutely wants to pretend like this problem is not here. Pretending it’s not here won’t make it go away.”

When asked to provide a specific example of a No-Go Zone, Jindal was unable to do so.

“I think your viewers know absolutely there are places where the police are less likely to go. They absolutely know there are neighborhoods where they wouldn’t feel comfortable.”

In some places in Europe, and indeed, even in the United States, so-called “Sharia Courts” have gotten notice by conservatives who think their existence is proof that Sharia Law is inching its way into Western legal systems. In fact, what is happening is that some jurisdictions in Western countries, including the U.S., have set up systems that allow certain matters to be decided by a Sharia judge if both parties agree. Usually, these courts intervene on matters of family law or business disputes. This is hardly new, according to the Economist. Rabbinical tribunals have existed in Britain for decades, and Christian arbitration exists in the U.S. However, legally-binding arbitration, agreed to by both parties beforehand, is not the same thing as a civil or criminal court. So just because two parties in, say, Dearborn, Michigan (which has a heavy Muslim population) or Paris, France, have the option of having their dispute settled by a Sharia court, that doesn’t mean that public floggings for insulting Islam, or stoning of women who decline to wear Burqas, is coming to a Western city near you.

Couple the existence of Sharia courts with the existence of densely-populated Muslim neighborhoods, and you have a recipe for a situation that could be interpreted as Muslim enclaves devoid of Western law, when in fact no such thing exists.

However, such subtleties are either lost on Bobby Jindal, or they don’t make for as salacious and attention-getting a device as invoking Muslim No-Go Zones.

This tells you all you need to know:

I’ve heard from folks here...

When asked to provide a specific example of a No-Go Zone, Jindal was unable to do so

Interestingly this is in the news today. Presumably, if you were part of the Fox News - this would be all you'd need to conjure up a story that London is ruled by armed gangs, when the reality is that people like this, just as with those people they are objecting to, represent such a tiny proportion of the population as to be statistically insignificant.

Meanwhile, life goes on.

MSNBC Guest: Bobby Jindal ‘Trying to Scrub Some of the Brown Off His Skin’

Lean forward? MSNBC upped the ante in their quest to attack Republicans on Monday when a guest made a racially charged attack on Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal on Monday.

Gov. Jindal is in London this week where he is addressing the Henry Jackson Society. Gov. Jindal denounced “no-go zones.”

MSNBC’s Alex Wagner had Arsalan Iftikhar, founder of TheMuslimGuy.com, on to discuss Gov. Jindal’s comments.

“I think Governor Jindal is protesting a bit too much. He might be trying to scrub some of the brown off his skin as he runs to the right in a presidential bid,” said Iftikhar.

Wagner didn’t question his comment and the interview continued

Racist liberals at it again

What is the point of this post? Does it have anything to do with the OP apart from the mention of Jindal?

If Jindal is in London why is he lecturing on a subject without having any knowledge about it. Perhaps he would be better off renting a Boris bike and trying to find one of these 'muslim No Go areas'. Otherwise, he has as much authority on the subject as Nigel Farages ringpiece after a lamb bhuna.

He's obviously given up on this idea he had some time back. He probably realized the futility of it all...

Given up? From this thread it sounds like he's actually forgotten entirely

He's mulling a bid for the 2016 nomination and the party base only gets excited by stupidity.

Is it any wonder people around the world laugh at us thinking we're all like Jindal?

I enterpret the comment to be reference to the brown fecal matter that Mr. Jindal needs to wipe off his face after making a horses hind quarter of himself giving a speech about non-existent Muslim No Go Zones in Europe and then weakly attempting to defend the speech.

To suggest someone has to scrape away their brownness to be considered for President is just racist within itself. However, being that he is born to two immigrant parents in the U.S., I feel like he has no, zero, chance of becoming POTUS. I don't think the U.S. is ready for this.

It's effed up when supposedly mainstream politicians repeat lies in the media AFTER they have been proven to be completely false and absent of any fact.

Not that this will stop some of the extremist numbskulls on VJ from repeating them anyway. Deluded.

Just read another article on this. Apparently Jintao said this in the House of Commons. That makes him a national embarrasment
