The Daily Mail Reported In 2014 On The Existence Of “No-Go” Zones In The United Kingdom:
The Daily Mail Reported: “Murders And Rapes Going Unreported In No-Go Zones For Police As Minority Communities Launch Own Justice Systems.” (Sara Smyth, “Murders and rapes going unreported in no-go zones for police as minority communities launch own justice systems,” Daily Mail, 1/17/14)
The Chief Inspector Of Constabulary In The United Kingdom Said Serious Crimes Are Going Unreported In The United Kingdom In Minority Communities. “Parts of the UK are becoming no-go areas for police because minority communities are operating their own justice systems, according to the Chief Inspector of Constabulary. The rise in ‘community justice’ means crimes as serious as murder and sexual abuse are going unreported – a situation reminiscent of Belfast in the height of the Troubles. Tom Winsor said police officers were simply never called to some neighbourhoods, where law-abiding people rather than criminals administer their own form of justice.” (Sara Smyth, “Murders and rapes going unreported in no-go zones for police as minority communities launch own justice systems,” Daily Mail, 1/17/14)
Chief Inspector Of Constabulary Tom Winsor: “There are some communities born under other skies who will not involve the police at all. I am reluctant to name the communities in question, but there are communities from other cultures who would prefer to police themselves. There are cities in the Midlands where the police never go because they are never called. They never hear of any trouble because the community deals with that on its own.” (Sara Smyth, “Murders and rapes going unreported in no-go zones for police as minority communities launch own justice systems,” Daily Mail, 1/17/14)
“Honour Killings, Domestic Violence, Sexual Abuse Of Children And Female Genital Mutilations Are Some Of The Offences That Are Believed To Be Unreported In Some Cities.” (Sara Smyth, “Murders and rapes going unreported in no-go zones for police as minority communities launch own justice systems,” Daily Mail, 1/17/14)
CNN Reported In 2013 On Radical Islamists Attempting To Impose Sharia Law In East London:
Watch The Report Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcsG-u2GtZE#t=12
CNN Host: “In One Part Of London, Some Hard-Line Muslims Have Formed Their Own Neighborhood Watch. They Are Not Looking For Criminals. They're Looking For People Who Are Breaking Sharia Law On Drinking ...” (CNN Newsroom, 2/1/13)
CNN Host: “Britain Isn't The Only Country Struggling To Contain Such Bad Behavior. In Denmark, an Islamist from another so-called ‘Muslim patrol’ stands menacingly outside a polling station, vowing to stop Muslims voting. In Belgium, these extremists want existing Sharia courts, which handle family matters, to be expanded to cover criminal matters, including un-Islamic behavior in Muslim areas. And in Lerida, Spain, hard-line Salafist groups have angered locals by demanding pet dogs are banned from public transport and Muslim neighborhoods. Several dogs have been poisoned.” (CNN Newsroom, 2/1/13)
Others Have Reported On “No-Go” Zones:
French “City Officials Have Increasingly Ceded Control Of Heavily Muslim Neighborhoods To Islamists, Block By Block.” “A backdrop to the massacre in Paris on Wednesday by self-professed al Qaeda terrorists is that city officials have increasingly ceded control of heavily Muslim neighborhoods to Islamists, block by block. France has Europe’s largest population of Muslims, some of whom talk openly of ruling the country one day and casting aside Western legal systems for harsh, Islam-based Shariah law.” (Rowan Scarborough, “Muslims segregated from French society in growing Islamist mini-states,” Washington Times, 1/7/15)
“‘There Are No-Go Areas Not Just In Paris, But All Over France, Where They Are Effectively In Control,’ Said Robert Spencer, Who Directs Jihadwatch.Org, A Nonprofit That Monitors Muslim Extremists. ‘They’re operating with impunity, apparently secure in the knowledge that authorities cannot or will not act decisively to stop them,’ he said. ‘And with the universal denial and obfuscation of the clear motive for the Charlie Hebdo attack, they have good reason to think that.’” (Rowan Scarborough, “Muslims segregated from French society in growing Islamist mini-states,” Washington Times, 1/7/15)
“Swedish Police Have Ceded Control Over 55 ‘No-Go Zones’ To Predominately Muslim Criminal Gangs. An extensive report mapping out 55 no-go zones was released Oct. 24, showing where law enforcement has all but handed control to criminal gangs. Officers frequently face outright attacks when trying to enter the areas, which is a step up from the previous problem with attacks on mailmen, fire trucks, ambulances and similar services. Fire trucks and ambulances had to wait for police escort to enter the areas, but now the police themselves need protection. The no-go areas heavily coincide with the map of the 186 ‘exclusion areas’ aka. crowded, predominantly Muslim immigrant ghettos, where education is low, employment is lower and the only local business thriving is drug dealing.” (Matt Danielsson, “Swedish Police Release Extensive Report Detailing Control Of 55 ‘No-Go Zones’ By Muslim Criminal Gangs,” Daily Caller, 11/2/14)
