The Living Force
In the past few months, I have noticed that many news articles mention "No-Go Zones" and although the words speak for themselves, I wanted to learn more of what is behind this sudden development and why? It seems to involve immigration and setting up of "parallel societies" within a host Country.
'No-go zones' brewing in U.S., author warns 08/28/2017
http://www.wnd.com/2017/08/no-go-zones-brewing-in-u-s-author-warns/
Driving into parts of inner-city Detroit, Chicago or Miami at certain times of day can be pretty scary, but when the drug culture meets Shariah law it becomes a whole new level of frightening.
Yet, that’s what some U.S. neighborhoods have to look forward to if things don’t change in Washington, says the author of a new book on Europe’s “no-go zones.” In fact, the early warning signs are already becoming visible in some U.S. communities, says Raheem Kassam, who visited more than a dozen Muslim-dominated enclaves on the continent.
The jolting message contained in “No Go Zones: How Sharia Law Is Coming to a Neighborhood Near You,” is one of warning for America, which is in the process of building up its own no-go zones by making the same immigration mistakes now on full display in Germany, France, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. Almost daily reports of attacks, often with knives or vehicles, have been reported in these countries, while these type attacks are almost never seen in Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic, countries that have barred their doors to Muslim migration.
But Kassam is worried about the United States.
Places like the Cedar Riverside area of Minneapolis, where Shariah cops make house checks to make sure Somali refugees are not becoming too Westernized, and Hamtramck, Michigan where the call to prayer is blasted over loudspeakers in Arabic and storefronts that once peddled Polish sausage are now brimming with halal meats.
These can be the early warning signs of a budding no-go zone, says Kassam. But even more crucial, he says, is the level of assimilation by second and third generation Muslim Americans. If the experience of Europe is any indication, trouble is on the horizon for U.S. cities.
Kassam was born in West London to parents of Tanzanian descent and has an ethnic Indian background. His family practiced Ismaili, a sect of Shia Islam that is considered heretical and targeted for persecution in most Sunni-dominated countries.
“So I was a practicing Muslim until about the age of 20 but I guess I was lucky to be raised in this kind of liberal Muslim family,” Kassam told WND.
Shariah-compliant Somalis make life-changing impression - His good fortune ran out when he went off to the University of Westminster and realized that the greater slice of Islam did not share his family’s liberal, pro-Western mindset. He met many Sunnis from Somalia and other countries and came face to face with the dark secret of Islam often hidden from Westerners by the mass media – Shariah.
“I saw things going terribly wrong at my university with the Somalis, they were terribly strict [in following Shariah],” he said. “The University of Westminster is the same college Jihadi John attended, and I didn’t want to get into what these guys were about. So I left Islam about 10 years ago.”
Jihadi John was the British-born son of Arab migrants who beheaded American journalist James Foley, a beheading that was parlayed by ISIS into a propaganda video.
After watching CNN and “the Anderson Coopers of the world” present what he believes is a distorted view of Islam, Kassam went to work for the U.K. Independence Party headed by Nigel Farage. Farage would later write the foreword to his book.
He later became editor in chief of Breitbart London and now splits his time between London, New York and Washington, D.C.
14 cities reaping fruits of multicultural nightmare - The book is based on his travels to 14 cities with notorious no-go zones. Places like the Molenbeek area of Brussels and the Rosengard section in Malmo, Sweden, where outsiders, including police, dare not tread.
“I could not pick and choose when I wanted to be there, it was just whenever I could arrive, it was the middle of the night in many cases, it was whenever the train or the plane arrived,” he says.
In the Alum Rock neighborhood of Birmingham, England, graffiti on the side of a building read “No whites allowed after 8 p.m.”
What Kassam found in every one of his destinations was poverty, crime and extreme ghettoization, often not far from a posh area of the city. His book is not the first journalistic investigation of no-go zones, but it may be the most thorough.
Steven Emerson, another journalist, has reported extensively on Muslim enclaves in the West but he ran into trouble more than two years ago when he referred to “no-go zones” during a television interview on Fox News.
“Steve’s major problem was that he called the entire city of Birmingham a no-go zone. If he had said ‘areas of Birmingham’ he would have been all right,” Kassam noted. “It was just an innocent slip of the tongue that anyone could have made but they seized upon it to destroy our entire narrative.”
Fox apologized for the report and British Prime Minister David Cameron piled on, calling Emerson “undignified” among other, worse names.
“When you have the British prime minister intervene and go out of his way to call out Mr. Emerson you know he was looking for that opportunity. One slip up and we lose the whole narrative. They forced us into a defensive position with their bullying.”
Even some conservatives, such as Mideast scholar Daniel Pipes, pushed back. Pipes said he could go into Birmingham’s no-go zones and order local food without any problem.
“I told him, Daniel, you’re six-feet-seven and you look like an Algerian so nobody is going to bother you, but try being a young French girl walking into that café and watch how you’re treated. I’ve done that, and watched how the girl is treated,” Kassam said. “Trust me, Daniel Pipes is not going to get the same treatment.”
An underground economy - Kassam visited the Herregarden housing complex located in Malmo, Sweden’s Rosengard ghetto. The residential makeup of the apartment complex is approximately 96 percent foreign born, with migrants drawn to Sweden’s generous welfare system.
“As we drove around the housing estates at night, it became clear the problems in these areas: drugs, rape, police assaults and more, were created in large part by state-sponsored ‘multiculturalism,'” he reported.
“Rosengard felt like a wasteland, like an apocalyptic movie setting,” Kassam told WND. “I went in the middle of winter and it was dark, very poorly lit, a couple of men shuffled out into the street, women in hijabs. Walking through the middle of Herregarden complex, you hear Arab music blasting out of the apartments, you could go into the shops and they weren’t selling food as we know it, or as Swedes know it, they were selling their own food, at ridiculously low prices. They obviously weren’t paying taxes.”
Kassam said he heard the same story in almost every other no-go zone throughout Europe: Food and clothing, the basics of life, sold for pennies on the dollar. A Muslim woman can find a long dress in Molenbeek, Brussels, for 2.5 euros. “You can’t make a living on that unless you are not paying taxes.”
But more than the underground economy and the unwelcome attitude toward outsiders was the ever-present feeling of a subculture that demanded submission, that not only discouraged mixing with the host country’s culture but forbade it.
“No-go zones are areas where police don’t want to police. And I can see why,” Kassam said. “They don’t feel like they’re part of your country, they feel like they’re closed off. The men want to bore holes in your side with their eyes, and the women, they’re so on edge, they’re so nervous. I tried to talk to people and nobody would even look in my direction.”
“And I’m not white. I’m brown,” he adds. “Some say I look Turkish, some say I look Iranian, so I don’t look like I’m an undercover police officer, yet I was still treated as an outsider. That’s the level of disconnect they have with society, they don’t want to talk to outsiders.”
In short, there is an undercurrent of fear that is palpable for any outsider entering a no-go zone.
Kassam said some of the signs of burgeoning no-go zones have been present in parts of major American cities for years.
“This echoes in many ways the problems of Chicago and Detroit and Watts,” he said. Thanks to the United Nations-U.S. State Department refugee resettlement program, even not-so major cities like Fargo, North Dakota, and Willmar, Minnesota, are quickly raising up parallel societies insulated from the host community.
In the WND book “Stealth Invasion,” these nations within a nation are called “seedlings” by Barack Obama adviser David Lubell, the founder of Welcoming America. Lubell and others talk about watering the “soil” of the host community until the seedlings can sprout and mature, eventually taking over their host community.
Once a seedling community reaches that full bloom, it’s too late for police to rein it in. “The difference is there is an underlying cultural supremacy preached to these people [in the mosques], and that’s why it’s a more dangerous situation,” Kassam said.
Different from ‘Little Italy’ - There has always been “Little Italy” neighborhoods in Chicago and Detroit, the Irish quarter in Boston, Poletown in Hamtramck or Greektown in Detroit. San Fransisco has its Chinatown, as does Washington, D.C. But it’s not the same as a Muslim no-go zone.
“Look at the evidence as to how the next generation of the Muslims think,” Kassam said. “In Hamtramck, Polish people enjoyed their enclave, they took pride in it, but their children grew up and integrated, assimilated, they moved out to the suburbs and many no longer spoke Polish.
“But you look at the Muslim immigrants and they’re not doing that, they’re actually further ghettoizing, they’re moving inward, not outward.”
Polls by Pew Research show a higher proportion of young Muslims backing terrorism, supporting death for apostasy [leaving Islam], death for homosexuals, and the idea that the woman must cover herself with the hijab or the burqa.
So it’s the opposite trend of Little Italy becoming less like Italy and more like America.
“You see a higher disposition than their parents who believe these things,” Kassam said. “They’re holding onto this Muslim-American sort of thing, and they’re being supported by the political left.”
Kassam includes a whole chapter on Hamtramck, which in 2015 became the first U.S. city to elect a majority-Muslim city council. Several years before that, in 2011, the city approved the Muslim call to prayer over loudspeakers, effectively chasing away many of the last Polish holdouts. “Look at what Teddy Roosevelt said. He said to the immigrant wave of his day, look, there is no room for you to be American and something else,” Kassam said. “And we must demand for you to assimilate.”
In some of the areas Kassam visited, the majority of signage was in a foreign language. “The one that springs to mind is Tower Hamlets in East London, the signs were in Bengali. You can find the same in parts of Dearborn, and along the Hamtramck border is one of the only places in America you can get a ballot in Bengali. And you see that in Tower Hamlets as well.”
St. Mary’s Park in East London was named after a 14th century church, but in 1978 a Bengali immigrant was murdered there and in 1998 they changed the name to that of the migrant, Altab Ali Park, “and to date all the hard-left, Antifa-types hold their rallies there,” Kassam said.
“There is anti- Western stuff all over in the Tower Hamlets area. A lot of anti-Western, anti-government sentiments are expressed,” he noted. “And it’s just a stone’s throw away from the big skyscrapers and banks of London, a 10-minute walk. The distinction between the two areas is stark, right on the periphery of one of the most wealthy areas of the world. They live with jealously and envy every day, with rich things and pretty things within their view every day and they’re living in squalor.” This breeds hatred and envy and anger. And the fundamentalists, the Muslim hate preachers, they come along and they use that to stoke the resentment,” he said.
Kassam said he has not converted to any other faith after leaving Islam. “I converted to alcoholism I’m afraid,” he joked. “I did not join any other faith. Organized religion, for me, it just feels scary.”
European 'No-Go' Zones for Non-Muslims Proliferating "Occupation Without Tanks or Soldiers" August 22, 2011
https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/2367/european-muslim-no-go-zones
Many of the "no-go" zones function as microstates governed by Islamic Sharia law. Host-country authorities effectively have lost control in these areas and in many instances are unable to provide even basic public aid such as police, fire fighting and ambulance services.
The "no-go" areas are the by-product of decades of multicultural policies that have encouraged Muslim immigrants to create parallel societies and remain segregated rather than become integrated into their European host nations.
In Britain, for example, a Muslim group called Muslims Against the Crusades has launched a campaign to turn twelve British cities – including what it calls "Londonistan" – into independent Islamic states. The so-called Islamic Emirates would function as autonomous enclaves ruled by Islamic Sharia law and operate entirely outside British jurisprudence.
The Islamic Emirates Project names the British cities of Birmingham, Bradford, Derby, Dewsbury, Leeds, Leicester, Liverpool, Luton, Manchester, Sheffield, as well as Waltham Forest in northeast London and Tower Hamlets in East London as territories to be targeted for blanket Sharia rule.
In the Tower Hamlets area of East London (also known as the Islamic Republic of Tower Hamlets), for example, extremist Muslim preachers, called the Tower Hamlets Taliban, regularly issue death threats to women who refuse to wear Islamic veils. Neighborhood streets have been plastered with posters declaring "You are entering a Sharia controlled zone: Islamic rules enforced." And street advertising deemed offensive to Muslims is regularly vandalized or blacked out with spray paint.
In the Bury Park area of Luton, Muslims have been accused of "ethnic cleansing" by harassing non-Muslims to the point that many of them move out of Muslim neighborhoods. In the West Midlands, two Christian preachers have been accused of "hate crimes" for handing out gospel leaflets in a predominantly Muslim area of Birmingham. In Leytonstone in east London, the Muslim extremist Abu Izzadeen heckled the former Home Secretary John Reid by saying: "How dare you come to a Muslim area."
In France, large swaths of Muslim neighborhoods are now considered "no-go" zones by French police. At last count, there are 751 Sensitive Urban Zones (Zones Urbaines Sensibles, ZUS), as they are euphemistically called. A complete list of the ZUS can be found on a French government website, complete with satellite maps and precise street demarcations. An estimated 5 million Muslims live in the ZUS, parts of France over which the French state has lost control.
Muslim immigrants are taking control of other parts of France too. In Paris and other French cities with high Muslim populations, such as Lyons, Marseilles and Toulouse, thousands of Muslims are closing off streets and sidewalks (and by extension, are closing down local businesses and trapping non-Muslim residents in their homes and offices) to accommodate overflowing crowds for Friday prayers. Some mosques have also begun broadcasting sermons and chants of "Allahu Akbar" via loudspeakers into the streets.
The weekly spectacles, which have been documented by dozens of videos posted on Youtube and which have been denounced as an "occupation without tanks or soldiers," have provoked anger and disbelief. But despite many public complaints, local authorities have declined to intervene because they are afraid of sparking riots.
In the Belgian capital of Brussels (which is 20% Muslim), several immigrant neighborhoods have become "no-go" zones for police officers, who frequently are pelted with rocks by Muslim youth. In the Kuregem district of Brussels, which often resembles an urban war zone, police are forced to patrol the area with two police cars: one car to carry out the patrols and another car to prevent the first car from being attacked. In the Molenbeek district of Brussels, police have been ordered not to drink coffee or eat a sandwich in public during the Islamic month of Ramadan.
In Germany, Chief Police Commissioner Bernhard Witthaut, in an August 1 interview with the newspaper Der Westen, revealed that Muslim immigrants are imposing "no-go" zones in cities across Germany at an alarming rate.
The interviewer asked Witthaut: "Are there urban areas – for example in the Ruhr – districts and housing blocks that are "no-go areas," meaning that they can no longer be secured by the police?" Witthaut replied: "Every police commissioner and interior minister will deny it. But of course we know where we can go with the police car and where, even initially, only with the personnel carrier. The reason is that our colleagues can no longer feel safe there in twos, and have to fear becoming the victim of a crime themselves. We know that these areas exist. Even worse: in these areas crimes no longer result in charges. They are left 'to themselves.' Only in the worst cases do we in the police learn anything about it. The power of the state is completely out of the picture."
In Italy, Muslims have been commandeering the Piazza Venezia in Rome for public prayers. In Bologna, Muslims repeatedly have threatened to bomb the San Petronio cathedral because it contains a 600-year-old fresco inspired by Dante's Inferno which depicts Mohammed being tormented in hell.
In the Netherlands, a Dutch court ordered the government to release to the public a politically incorrect list of 40 "no-go" zones in Holland. The top five Muslim problem neighborhoods are in Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Utrecht. The Kolenkit area in Amsterdam is the number one Muslim "problem district" in the country. The next three districts are in Rotterdam – Pendrecht, het Oude Noorden and Bloemhof. The Ondiep district in Utrecht is in the fifth position, followed by Rivierenwijk (Deventer), Spangen (Rotterdam), Oude Westen (Rotterdam), Heechterp/ Schieringen (Leeuwarden) and Noord-Oost (Maastricht).
In Sweden, which has some of the most liberal immigration laws in Europe, large swaths of the southern city of Malmö – which is more than 25% Muslim – are "no-go" zones for non-Muslims. Fire and emergency workers, for example, refuse to enter Malmö's mostly Muslim Rosengaard district without police escorts. The male unemployment rate in Rosengaard is estimated to be above 80%. When fire fighters attempted to put out a fire at Malmö's main mosque, they were attacked by stone throwers.
In the Swedish city of Gothenburg, Muslim youth have been hurling petrol bombs at police cars. In the city's Angered district, where more than 15 police cars have been destroyed, teenagers have also been pointing green lasers at the eyes of police officers, some of whom have been temporarily blinded.
In Gothenburg's Backa district, youth have been throwing stones at patrolling officers. Gothenburg police have also been struggling to deal with the problem of Muslim teenagers burning cars and attacking emergency services in several areas of the city.
According to the Malmö-based Imam Adly Abu Hajar: "Sweden is the best Islamic state."
EUROPE'S NO-GO ZONES: List of 900 EU areas where police have 'LOST CONTROL' to migrants Sat, Apr 2, 2016
http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/657520/Europe-no-go-900-EU-areas-police-lost-control
London, Paris, Stockholm and Berlin are among the major European cities that feature on a bombshell list of 900 lawless zones with large immigrant populations. The shock dossier, released by the Hungarian government, backs up claims made by Donald Trump in December that there are large swathes of Britain and Europe where police are now too afraid to patrol due to radical Islamist extremism.
Ministers from the central European nation wrote in their report that authorities had "no control" over residents in these neighbourhoods, adding that the growth of radical Islam is "increasing the terrorist risk and imperiling our culture".
The bombshell claims were published on a website set up to oppose an EU migrant quota system.
According to the Hungarian government there are 900 areas across the EU where "the norms of the host society barely prevail" due to huge levels of migration. The website says: "The mandatory European quotas increase the terrorist risk in Europe and imperils our culture.
"Illegal migrants cross the borders unchecked, so we do not know who they are and what their intentions are. We do not know how many of them are disguised as terrorists."
Hungarian Prime Minister, Viktor Orban, has refused to participate in the EU's quota plan to relocate 160,000 migrants across the continent and has even built a huge fence to seal off his country.
Earlier this year he announced his government will hold a referendum asking people: "Do you want the EU to prescribe the mandatory relocation of non-Hungarian citizens to Hungary without the approval of the Hungarian parliament?"
Mr Orban believes that Brussels has no right to redraw Europe's cultural and religious identity and has positioned himself as a defender of European Christendom.
In March he said: "If we want to stop mass migration, we want to put the brakes on Brussels first. "Brussels cannot be above the law."
When asked to name the "no-go" areas of London, Hungarian Government spokesman Zoltán Kovács said: “Everything is based on publicly available data and sources.”
In December US Presidential hopeful Mr Trump provoked outrage when he proposed a blanket ban on Muslims entering America to protect people from terrorism. Justifying the comments, the billionaire tycoon said there are areas of Britain and Europe which have become so radicalised that police are afraid to patrol there.
He said: “We have places in London and other places that are so radicalised that police are afraid for their own lives.”
The comments sparked an angry backlash, but some British policemen backed up the eccentric Republican saying there are areas of the country where extremism is rife.
'No-go zones' brewing in U.S., author warns 08/28/2017
http://www.wnd.com/2017/08/no-go-zones-brewing-in-u-s-author-warns/
Driving into parts of inner-city Detroit, Chicago or Miami at certain times of day can be pretty scary, but when the drug culture meets Shariah law it becomes a whole new level of frightening.
Yet, that’s what some U.S. neighborhoods have to look forward to if things don’t change in Washington, says the author of a new book on Europe’s “no-go zones.” In fact, the early warning signs are already becoming visible in some U.S. communities, says Raheem Kassam, who visited more than a dozen Muslim-dominated enclaves on the continent.
The jolting message contained in “No Go Zones: How Sharia Law Is Coming to a Neighborhood Near You,” is one of warning for America, which is in the process of building up its own no-go zones by making the same immigration mistakes now on full display in Germany, France, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. Almost daily reports of attacks, often with knives or vehicles, have been reported in these countries, while these type attacks are almost never seen in Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic, countries that have barred their doors to Muslim migration.
But Kassam is worried about the United States.
Places like the Cedar Riverside area of Minneapolis, where Shariah cops make house checks to make sure Somali refugees are not becoming too Westernized, and Hamtramck, Michigan where the call to prayer is blasted over loudspeakers in Arabic and storefronts that once peddled Polish sausage are now brimming with halal meats.
These can be the early warning signs of a budding no-go zone, says Kassam. But even more crucial, he says, is the level of assimilation by second and third generation Muslim Americans. If the experience of Europe is any indication, trouble is on the horizon for U.S. cities.
Kassam was born in West London to parents of Tanzanian descent and has an ethnic Indian background. His family practiced Ismaili, a sect of Shia Islam that is considered heretical and targeted for persecution in most Sunni-dominated countries.
“So I was a practicing Muslim until about the age of 20 but I guess I was lucky to be raised in this kind of liberal Muslim family,” Kassam told WND.
Shariah-compliant Somalis make life-changing impression - His good fortune ran out when he went off to the University of Westminster and realized that the greater slice of Islam did not share his family’s liberal, pro-Western mindset. He met many Sunnis from Somalia and other countries and came face to face with the dark secret of Islam often hidden from Westerners by the mass media – Shariah.
“I saw things going terribly wrong at my university with the Somalis, they were terribly strict [in following Shariah],” he said. “The University of Westminster is the same college Jihadi John attended, and I didn’t want to get into what these guys were about. So I left Islam about 10 years ago.”
Jihadi John was the British-born son of Arab migrants who beheaded American journalist James Foley, a beheading that was parlayed by ISIS into a propaganda video.
After watching CNN and “the Anderson Coopers of the world” present what he believes is a distorted view of Islam, Kassam went to work for the U.K. Independence Party headed by Nigel Farage. Farage would later write the foreword to his book.
He later became editor in chief of Breitbart London and now splits his time between London, New York and Washington, D.C.
14 cities reaping fruits of multicultural nightmare - The book is based on his travels to 14 cities with notorious no-go zones. Places like the Molenbeek area of Brussels and the Rosengard section in Malmo, Sweden, where outsiders, including police, dare not tread.
“I could not pick and choose when I wanted to be there, it was just whenever I could arrive, it was the middle of the night in many cases, it was whenever the train or the plane arrived,” he says.
In the Alum Rock neighborhood of Birmingham, England, graffiti on the side of a building read “No whites allowed after 8 p.m.”
What Kassam found in every one of his destinations was poverty, crime and extreme ghettoization, often not far from a posh area of the city. His book is not the first journalistic investigation of no-go zones, but it may be the most thorough.
Steven Emerson, another journalist, has reported extensively on Muslim enclaves in the West but he ran into trouble more than two years ago when he referred to “no-go zones” during a television interview on Fox News.
“Steve’s major problem was that he called the entire city of Birmingham a no-go zone. If he had said ‘areas of Birmingham’ he would have been all right,” Kassam noted. “It was just an innocent slip of the tongue that anyone could have made but they seized upon it to destroy our entire narrative.”
Fox apologized for the report and British Prime Minister David Cameron piled on, calling Emerson “undignified” among other, worse names.
“When you have the British prime minister intervene and go out of his way to call out Mr. Emerson you know he was looking for that opportunity. One slip up and we lose the whole narrative. They forced us into a defensive position with their bullying.”
Even some conservatives, such as Mideast scholar Daniel Pipes, pushed back. Pipes said he could go into Birmingham’s no-go zones and order local food without any problem.
“I told him, Daniel, you’re six-feet-seven and you look like an Algerian so nobody is going to bother you, but try being a young French girl walking into that café and watch how you’re treated. I’ve done that, and watched how the girl is treated,” Kassam said. “Trust me, Daniel Pipes is not going to get the same treatment.”
An underground economy - Kassam visited the Herregarden housing complex located in Malmo, Sweden’s Rosengard ghetto. The residential makeup of the apartment complex is approximately 96 percent foreign born, with migrants drawn to Sweden’s generous welfare system.
“As we drove around the housing estates at night, it became clear the problems in these areas: drugs, rape, police assaults and more, were created in large part by state-sponsored ‘multiculturalism,'” he reported.
“Rosengard felt like a wasteland, like an apocalyptic movie setting,” Kassam told WND. “I went in the middle of winter and it was dark, very poorly lit, a couple of men shuffled out into the street, women in hijabs. Walking through the middle of Herregarden complex, you hear Arab music blasting out of the apartments, you could go into the shops and they weren’t selling food as we know it, or as Swedes know it, they were selling their own food, at ridiculously low prices. They obviously weren’t paying taxes.”
Kassam said he heard the same story in almost every other no-go zone throughout Europe: Food and clothing, the basics of life, sold for pennies on the dollar. A Muslim woman can find a long dress in Molenbeek, Brussels, for 2.5 euros. “You can’t make a living on that unless you are not paying taxes.”
But more than the underground economy and the unwelcome attitude toward outsiders was the ever-present feeling of a subculture that demanded submission, that not only discouraged mixing with the host country’s culture but forbade it.
“No-go zones are areas where police don’t want to police. And I can see why,” Kassam said. “They don’t feel like they’re part of your country, they feel like they’re closed off. The men want to bore holes in your side with their eyes, and the women, they’re so on edge, they’re so nervous. I tried to talk to people and nobody would even look in my direction.”
“And I’m not white. I’m brown,” he adds. “Some say I look Turkish, some say I look Iranian, so I don’t look like I’m an undercover police officer, yet I was still treated as an outsider. That’s the level of disconnect they have with society, they don’t want to talk to outsiders.”
In short, there is an undercurrent of fear that is palpable for any outsider entering a no-go zone.
Kassam said some of the signs of burgeoning no-go zones have been present in parts of major American cities for years.
“This echoes in many ways the problems of Chicago and Detroit and Watts,” he said. Thanks to the United Nations-U.S. State Department refugee resettlement program, even not-so major cities like Fargo, North Dakota, and Willmar, Minnesota, are quickly raising up parallel societies insulated from the host community.
In the WND book “Stealth Invasion,” these nations within a nation are called “seedlings” by Barack Obama adviser David Lubell, the founder of Welcoming America. Lubell and others talk about watering the “soil” of the host community until the seedlings can sprout and mature, eventually taking over their host community.
Once a seedling community reaches that full bloom, it’s too late for police to rein it in. “The difference is there is an underlying cultural supremacy preached to these people [in the mosques], and that’s why it’s a more dangerous situation,” Kassam said.
Different from ‘Little Italy’ - There has always been “Little Italy” neighborhoods in Chicago and Detroit, the Irish quarter in Boston, Poletown in Hamtramck or Greektown in Detroit. San Fransisco has its Chinatown, as does Washington, D.C. But it’s not the same as a Muslim no-go zone.
“Look at the evidence as to how the next generation of the Muslims think,” Kassam said. “In Hamtramck, Polish people enjoyed their enclave, they took pride in it, but their children grew up and integrated, assimilated, they moved out to the suburbs and many no longer spoke Polish.
“But you look at the Muslim immigrants and they’re not doing that, they’re actually further ghettoizing, they’re moving inward, not outward.”
Polls by Pew Research show a higher proportion of young Muslims backing terrorism, supporting death for apostasy [leaving Islam], death for homosexuals, and the idea that the woman must cover herself with the hijab or the burqa.
So it’s the opposite trend of Little Italy becoming less like Italy and more like America.
“You see a higher disposition than their parents who believe these things,” Kassam said. “They’re holding onto this Muslim-American sort of thing, and they’re being supported by the political left.”
Kassam includes a whole chapter on Hamtramck, which in 2015 became the first U.S. city to elect a majority-Muslim city council. Several years before that, in 2011, the city approved the Muslim call to prayer over loudspeakers, effectively chasing away many of the last Polish holdouts. “Look at what Teddy Roosevelt said. He said to the immigrant wave of his day, look, there is no room for you to be American and something else,” Kassam said. “And we must demand for you to assimilate.”
In some of the areas Kassam visited, the majority of signage was in a foreign language. “The one that springs to mind is Tower Hamlets in East London, the signs were in Bengali. You can find the same in parts of Dearborn, and along the Hamtramck border is one of the only places in America you can get a ballot in Bengali. And you see that in Tower Hamlets as well.”
St. Mary’s Park in East London was named after a 14th century church, but in 1978 a Bengali immigrant was murdered there and in 1998 they changed the name to that of the migrant, Altab Ali Park, “and to date all the hard-left, Antifa-types hold their rallies there,” Kassam said.
“There is anti- Western stuff all over in the Tower Hamlets area. A lot of anti-Western, anti-government sentiments are expressed,” he noted. “And it’s just a stone’s throw away from the big skyscrapers and banks of London, a 10-minute walk. The distinction between the two areas is stark, right on the periphery of one of the most wealthy areas of the world. They live with jealously and envy every day, with rich things and pretty things within their view every day and they’re living in squalor.” This breeds hatred and envy and anger. And the fundamentalists, the Muslim hate preachers, they come along and they use that to stoke the resentment,” he said.
Kassam said he has not converted to any other faith after leaving Islam. “I converted to alcoholism I’m afraid,” he joked. “I did not join any other faith. Organized religion, for me, it just feels scary.”
European 'No-Go' Zones for Non-Muslims Proliferating "Occupation Without Tanks or Soldiers" August 22, 2011

Many of the "no-go" zones function as microstates governed by Islamic Sharia law. Host-country authorities effectively have lost control in these areas and in many instances are unable to provide even basic public aid such as police, fire fighting and ambulance services.
The "no-go" areas are the by-product of decades of multicultural policies that have encouraged Muslim immigrants to create parallel societies and remain segregated rather than become integrated into their European host nations.
In Britain, for example, a Muslim group called Muslims Against the Crusades has launched a campaign to turn twelve British cities – including what it calls "Londonistan" – into independent Islamic states. The so-called Islamic Emirates would function as autonomous enclaves ruled by Islamic Sharia law and operate entirely outside British jurisprudence.
The Islamic Emirates Project names the British cities of Birmingham, Bradford, Derby, Dewsbury, Leeds, Leicester, Liverpool, Luton, Manchester, Sheffield, as well as Waltham Forest in northeast London and Tower Hamlets in East London as territories to be targeted for blanket Sharia rule.
In the Tower Hamlets area of East London (also known as the Islamic Republic of Tower Hamlets), for example, extremist Muslim preachers, called the Tower Hamlets Taliban, regularly issue death threats to women who refuse to wear Islamic veils. Neighborhood streets have been plastered with posters declaring "You are entering a Sharia controlled zone: Islamic rules enforced." And street advertising deemed offensive to Muslims is regularly vandalized or blacked out with spray paint.
In the Bury Park area of Luton, Muslims have been accused of "ethnic cleansing" by harassing non-Muslims to the point that many of them move out of Muslim neighborhoods. In the West Midlands, two Christian preachers have been accused of "hate crimes" for handing out gospel leaflets in a predominantly Muslim area of Birmingham. In Leytonstone in east London, the Muslim extremist Abu Izzadeen heckled the former Home Secretary John Reid by saying: "How dare you come to a Muslim area."
In France, large swaths of Muslim neighborhoods are now considered "no-go" zones by French police. At last count, there are 751 Sensitive Urban Zones (Zones Urbaines Sensibles, ZUS), as they are euphemistically called. A complete list of the ZUS can be found on a French government website, complete with satellite maps and precise street demarcations. An estimated 5 million Muslims live in the ZUS, parts of France over which the French state has lost control.
Muslim immigrants are taking control of other parts of France too. In Paris and other French cities with high Muslim populations, such as Lyons, Marseilles and Toulouse, thousands of Muslims are closing off streets and sidewalks (and by extension, are closing down local businesses and trapping non-Muslim residents in their homes and offices) to accommodate overflowing crowds for Friday prayers. Some mosques have also begun broadcasting sermons and chants of "Allahu Akbar" via loudspeakers into the streets.
The weekly spectacles, which have been documented by dozens of videos posted on Youtube and which have been denounced as an "occupation without tanks or soldiers," have provoked anger and disbelief. But despite many public complaints, local authorities have declined to intervene because they are afraid of sparking riots.
In the Belgian capital of Brussels (which is 20% Muslim), several immigrant neighborhoods have become "no-go" zones for police officers, who frequently are pelted with rocks by Muslim youth. In the Kuregem district of Brussels, which often resembles an urban war zone, police are forced to patrol the area with two police cars: one car to carry out the patrols and another car to prevent the first car from being attacked. In the Molenbeek district of Brussels, police have been ordered not to drink coffee or eat a sandwich in public during the Islamic month of Ramadan.
In Germany, Chief Police Commissioner Bernhard Witthaut, in an August 1 interview with the newspaper Der Westen, revealed that Muslim immigrants are imposing "no-go" zones in cities across Germany at an alarming rate.
The interviewer asked Witthaut: "Are there urban areas – for example in the Ruhr – districts and housing blocks that are "no-go areas," meaning that they can no longer be secured by the police?" Witthaut replied: "Every police commissioner and interior minister will deny it. But of course we know where we can go with the police car and where, even initially, only with the personnel carrier. The reason is that our colleagues can no longer feel safe there in twos, and have to fear becoming the victim of a crime themselves. We know that these areas exist. Even worse: in these areas crimes no longer result in charges. They are left 'to themselves.' Only in the worst cases do we in the police learn anything about it. The power of the state is completely out of the picture."
In Italy, Muslims have been commandeering the Piazza Venezia in Rome for public prayers. In Bologna, Muslims repeatedly have threatened to bomb the San Petronio cathedral because it contains a 600-year-old fresco inspired by Dante's Inferno which depicts Mohammed being tormented in hell.
In the Netherlands, a Dutch court ordered the government to release to the public a politically incorrect list of 40 "no-go" zones in Holland. The top five Muslim problem neighborhoods are in Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Utrecht. The Kolenkit area in Amsterdam is the number one Muslim "problem district" in the country. The next three districts are in Rotterdam – Pendrecht, het Oude Noorden and Bloemhof. The Ondiep district in Utrecht is in the fifth position, followed by Rivierenwijk (Deventer), Spangen (Rotterdam), Oude Westen (Rotterdam), Heechterp/ Schieringen (Leeuwarden) and Noord-Oost (Maastricht).
In Sweden, which has some of the most liberal immigration laws in Europe, large swaths of the southern city of Malmö – which is more than 25% Muslim – are "no-go" zones for non-Muslims. Fire and emergency workers, for example, refuse to enter Malmö's mostly Muslim Rosengaard district without police escorts. The male unemployment rate in Rosengaard is estimated to be above 80%. When fire fighters attempted to put out a fire at Malmö's main mosque, they were attacked by stone throwers.
In the Swedish city of Gothenburg, Muslim youth have been hurling petrol bombs at police cars. In the city's Angered district, where more than 15 police cars have been destroyed, teenagers have also been pointing green lasers at the eyes of police officers, some of whom have been temporarily blinded.
In Gothenburg's Backa district, youth have been throwing stones at patrolling officers. Gothenburg police have also been struggling to deal with the problem of Muslim teenagers burning cars and attacking emergency services in several areas of the city.
According to the Malmö-based Imam Adly Abu Hajar: "Sweden is the best Islamic state."
EUROPE'S NO-GO ZONES: List of 900 EU areas where police have 'LOST CONTROL' to migrants Sat, Apr 2, 2016

London, Paris, Stockholm and Berlin are among the major European cities that feature on a bombshell list of 900 lawless zones with large immigrant populations. The shock dossier, released by the Hungarian government, backs up claims made by Donald Trump in December that there are large swathes of Britain and Europe where police are now too afraid to patrol due to radical Islamist extremism.
Ministers from the central European nation wrote in their report that authorities had "no control" over residents in these neighbourhoods, adding that the growth of radical Islam is "increasing the terrorist risk and imperiling our culture".
The bombshell claims were published on a website set up to oppose an EU migrant quota system.
According to the Hungarian government there are 900 areas across the EU where "the norms of the host society barely prevail" due to huge levels of migration. The website says: "The mandatory European quotas increase the terrorist risk in Europe and imperils our culture.
"Illegal migrants cross the borders unchecked, so we do not know who they are and what their intentions are. We do not know how many of them are disguised as terrorists."
Hungarian Prime Minister, Viktor Orban, has refused to participate in the EU's quota plan to relocate 160,000 migrants across the continent and has even built a huge fence to seal off his country.
Earlier this year he announced his government will hold a referendum asking people: "Do you want the EU to prescribe the mandatory relocation of non-Hungarian citizens to Hungary without the approval of the Hungarian parliament?"
Mr Orban believes that Brussels has no right to redraw Europe's cultural and religious identity and has positioned himself as a defender of European Christendom.
In March he said: "If we want to stop mass migration, we want to put the brakes on Brussels first. "Brussels cannot be above the law."
When asked to name the "no-go" areas of London, Hungarian Government spokesman Zoltán Kovács said: “Everything is based on publicly available data and sources.”
In December US Presidential hopeful Mr Trump provoked outrage when he proposed a blanket ban on Muslims entering America to protect people from terrorism. Justifying the comments, the billionaire tycoon said there are areas of Britain and Europe which have become so radicalised that police are afraid to patrol there.
He said: “We have places in London and other places that are so radicalised that police are afraid for their own lives.”
The comments sparked an angry backlash, but some British policemen backed up the eccentric Republican saying there are areas of the country where extremism is rife.
