Bobby Jindal: US Will Have Its Own 'No-Go Zones'

Source: Talking Points Memo



Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) on Wednesday stood behind his declaration that European cities have Muslim "no-go zones" and went on to say that if the U.S. wasn't careful, it would be seeing its own "no-go zones" soon. The term, a reference to alleged areas under Muslim control that follow Sharia law and are off-limits to the police, came under widespread criticism last week after a self-styled terrorism expert on Fox News said all of Birmingham, England was a "no-go zone."

Fox News was later forced to apologize multiple times for its coverage of Muslims in Europe and admitted there is no credible evidence such areas exist. Despite that, Jindal used the phrase this weekend during a speech in London and has repeatedly said that the "zones" exist. On Wednesday, Fox host Neil Cavuto provided the governor an opportunity to walk back the terminology. But Jindal would not relent.

"If people don't want to come here to integrate and assimilate, what they're really trying to do is set up their own culture, their own communities," Jindal said. "What they're really trying to do is overturn our culture. We need to recognize that threat." "If we don't, we're gonna see a replica of what's happening in Europe in America," Jindal continued. "We're gonna see our own no-go zones if we're not serious about insisting on assimilation and integration."

Cavuto also asked Jindal to comment on former MSNBC guest Arsalan Iftikhar who on Monday accused Jindal of "trying to scrub some of the brown off his skin." "It's foolish that MSNBC even gave somebody like this a platform," Jindal said. He also discussed his parents' decision to come to America."We need to stop calling ourselves African Americans, Indian Americans," Jindal said, "My parents came here over 40 years ago…. If they wanted us to be Indians, they would've stayed in India." Cavuto then asked whether he'd take anything back. "Absolutely not," Jindal said.

"The failed Obama policies...blah, blah, blah..."

No facts.
Nothing to support the claim, just conjecture and smugness.
Actually in the face of facts that support the polar opposite.

I really wish TV had the ability for me to reach through the broadcast and slap the shit out Ted Cruz....but that's another story!

I would consider Colorado City, Arizona a No-Go zone for anyone who is not a Fundamentalist LDS follower. Polygamy, under-age marriages, crooked cops, etc. Not on my top 10,000 towns to vacation; although the surrounding area is gorgeous and has a lot to offer.

29. Yeah - They're Trying To Overturn Our Culture - Those Amish with their no-go zones
Wed Jan 21, 2015, 10:34 PM
Jan 2015

Growing up in Pennsylvania, I didn't know that some of my relatives, who are Amish, were trying to overturn the "English" culture. But Bobby Jindal has explained it. ""If people don't want to come here to integrate and assimilate, what they're really trying to do is set up their own culture, their own communities," Jindal said. "What they're really trying to do is overturn our culture. We need to recognize that threat."

Yes, the Amish are a threat and we have to recognize it. The Amish do not integrate and assimilate. Most Amish kids only attend school to the 8th grade. The Amish shun modern farming techniques and the modern consumer culture. They were different clothes and use horse drawn buggies. Their closed communities are no-go zones.

Wow. This has to be stopped.

And don't even get me started on the Hutterites. Definitely suspicious.

and Bobby Jiindal would have been hustled out of town before dark, or killed if he stayed past it, if he was born just a mere 30 years earlier. we probably still do have plenty of de facto "no-go" zone Sundown Towns floating about unspoken. all his protest being "one of us" will mean nothing to those he panders to if and when the electricity ever goes out. that Twilight Zone episode, "The Monsters are Due on Maple Street," touched truly upon the dark pulse of human nature behind suburban lawns.

There are a very few no go zones here in ultra orthodox communities which harass drivers just going through the area on the sabbath and women who are not Jewish who dress "immodestly". That's really obnoxious.

America already has a "No Go Zone". It's a 40 mile stretch of the Mississippi River just north of New Orleans, jammed with chemical plants and one of the highest concentration of CANCER patients in the World. I wouldn't go there for lover or money. Jindal needs to do something to help people in Louisiana and not just work for the oil companies.
