The Mayor of Paris is planning to sue Fox News for misinformation about Muslim No-Go Zones.
Hmm, liberal New York Times reported the EXACT SAME THING ten years ago. I bet you're pretty pissed at them, too. It started with France's police intelligence agency. They are the ones who came up with the term "no-go zones."
Only thing different now is that FOX is reporting it at a time when it's politically incorrect to utter even the mildest criticism of Muslims. There is little doubt that special zones exist and that Muslims are not exactly welcoming infidels into "their" neighborhoods. For years, there have been warnings issued to the public not to enter certain areas or to do so at their own risk. It's no different than our "no-go zones" in Arizona where the drug cartels and human traffickers have taken over. Instead of fighting against this sort of thing, governments just back off and let areas be claimed by others. I thought France wanted diversity. What they have is division and growing tensions.

On December 11th, 2005 in an article entitled
"In The Paris Slums, No Jobs, No Sun," which focused on the predominantly Muslim area of La Courneuve in Paris, Times writer Elaine Sciolino talked about the French governments failure to integrate the largely Islamic community into the rest of Parisian society and the violence and frustration that it had caused among much of the areas population.
"Branded by France's police intelligence agency as one of the country's 150 "no go zones," where police officers should enter only with major reinforcements, La Courneuve was caught up in the violence in which rioters torched cars, trashed businesses and ambushed the police."
Indeed, as far back as 1996 it appears that Parisian authorities were carving out "no-go zones" or
"Sensitive Urban Zones" in order to warn their police force to use extreme caution when entering those neighborhoods
The idea that these all of these areas were officially labled "no-go-zones" due to violence by Muslim populations is not clear. But the New York Times appears to have had no problem with the "no-go zone" label a decade ago.
