Yes, there are 'no go' zones in France

Recently, Fox News was shamed into apologizing for one of their anchors talking about "no go" zones in Europe, where non-Muslims aren't welcome and even the police feel reluctant to enter.

For the record, there are no "official" no-go zones anywhere in Europe. What government on planet Earth would willingly admit that it doesn't control its own territory? But in France, there are 751 neighborhoods the French government believe they don't fully control. Daniel Pipes explains:

They go by the euphemistic term Zones Urbaines Sensibles, or Sensitive Urban Zones, with the even more antiseptic acronym ZUS, and there are 751 of them as of last count. They are conveniently listed on one long webpage, complete with street demarcations and map delineations.

What are they? Those places in France that the French state does not fully control. They range from two zones in the medieval town of Carcassonne to twelve in the heavily Muslim city of Marseilles, with hardly a town in France lacking in its ZUS. The ZUS came into existence in late 1996 and according to a 2004 estimate, nearly 5 million people live in them.

It's one thing for cab drivers, pizza delivery, and tourists to avoid a certain neighborhood because they wouldn't be welcome. Anyone who lives in a big city in America knows that there are some neighborhoods best left unvisited if you want to stay safe.

The difference among America, France, Britain, and other parts of Europe is that police themselves are reluctant to respond to calls, or are sidelined because local mobs take care of crime – the sharia way.

Parts of the UK have no-go areas for police because minority communities are operating their own justice systems,

Or...as I told someone the other day, the apology should have been, “For the record, Fox wants to make it clear that our use of the term ‘no-go zone’ was not meant as an OFFICIAL term, but rather an accurate description of places in France that even police do not want to enter. We are sorry that some people are too stupid to understand this distinction and, in the future, will be careful to speak to liberals in an infantile manner so they can better understand...hahahahaha. Right.”

Libtards think this is big deal, Fox “lied” and had to retract. Of course, they didn’t lie, they just did not consider the stupidity of the left.

LOL. That is definitely the apology the complainers deserved to hear.
