Louisiana governor insists non-Muslim "No Go Zones" are real

[Morphine Prince 109,664]

(CNN)Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal in a Monday speech decried the existence of so-called "no-go" zones in Europe, where sovereign nations allegedly cede authority to Muslim immigrants, a controversial idea that many critics say is overblown.

And in an interview with CNN later that day, Jindal stood by his comments  though he was unable to offer specific examples to illustrate his claim.

"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," he told CNN's Max Foster.

"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."

Pressed to offer specific examples of such areas, Jindal demurred, saying only "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."

And asked whether that feeling may be caused by high crime rates, rather than the Muslim population in the area, Jindal said, "this isn't a question."

"I know the left wants to make this into an attack on religion and that's not what this is. What we are saying it's absolutely an issue for the UK, absolutely is an issue for America and other European and Western nations," he added.

Earlier Monday, in an address to the Henry Jackson Society in London, Jindal said that "in the West, non-assimilationist Muslims establish enclaves and carry out as much of Sharia law as they can without regard for the laws of the democratic countries which provided them a new home," according to prepared remarks.

"It is startling to think that any country would allow, even unofficially, for a so called 'no-go zone.' The idea that a free country would allow for specific areas of its country to operate in an autonomous way that is not free and is in direct opposition to its laws is hard to fathom," he added.

The idea of "no-go zones" sparked controversy last week when a Fox News commentator raised the prospect of areas in France, Britain, Sweden and Germany where those countries' governments "don't exercise any sovereignty," and instead are run largely by Muslim immigrants.

He also mentioned whole cities "where non-Muslims simply don't go in," in particular the city of Birmingham in the United Kingdom.

British Prime Minister David Cameron later pushed back on the idea, calling the commentator "a complete idiot."

"When I heard this, frankly, I choked on my porridge and I thought it must be April Fools Day. This guy is clearly a complete idiot," he said.

The commentator later went on to apologize to Birmingham for labeling it a no-go zone, but stood by the idea that such areas exist. Fox News, however, issued a formal apology for the remarks, with host Julie Banderas retracting the comments as "regrettable errors" and saying the network "deeply regret the errors and apologize to any and all who may have taken offense."

It does not exist 

when will they stop lying :air:

[xoxo cupcakke 4,781]

What does Jindal have to say about his own state? That it's a utopic state of the highest standard of living and one of the lowest percentages of people living below the poverty line

I wouldn't know, though. I'm not from the land of sarcastic misconception :madge:

[RAMROD 117,053]

This part of the statement I can agree with,

in the West, non-assimilationist Muslims establish enclaves and carry out as much of Sharia law as they can without regard for the laws of the democratic countries which provided them a new home,"

This is so true though.

[Vernier 3,786]

Weird that this is the same Bobby Jindal that's regarded as one of the GOP's bright young minds :air:

[Melech 9,900]

Ofc they areas I wouldn't go in night, but I don't think it has any to do with Muslims

[Goosey 3,017]

I read the documentary Soumission, there were things like this in it. It's indeed hard to believe this has happening in France, maybe some facts were falsified.

[Whispering 18,865]

I'm not living there but I've heard several times already about these no-go zones. Pretty outrageous if real.

Kirklees 14.5% 61,280

London Borough of Haringey 14.2% 36,130

London Borough of Hackney 14.1% 34,727

 

 

Why would these areas be "No-Go zones"? Anywhere from 85% to 65% of the people living in these areas are not Muslims.

 

Faux news and this Governor are both idiots, for not knowing their facts.

 

The information you "have heard" is innacurate and false.
