'No Go Zones' and 'Parallel Societies'
American Thinker ^ | 19 May, 2026 | Eileen F. Toplansky

For years, author Mark Steyn mentioned no-go zones and unassimilated communities. In 2017 Raheem Kassam authored the book No Go Zones: How Sharia Law is Coming to a Neighborhood Near You. A comment about the book included the following:

“As I read this book, I had forgotten how many people have been murdered in the West in the name of Islam. The commonness with which these attacks are occurring is frightening and even more so, is how numb we’ve become to it. How much blood will be shed before politicians acknowledge the root cause of the problem? Europe is being transformed before our very eyes and everyone is just averting their gaze. This ignorance is allowing these extremist attitudes to fester and the unwillingness to criticize Islam is the catalyst of this problem.

Now almost a decade later, the New Direction – the Foundation for European Conservatism has published “No-Go Zones Immigration, Islamisation, and the rise of Parallel Societies.”

Nicola Procaccini MEP, President of New Direction, explains: “For too long, the term ‘no-go zone’ has been dismissed by some as a political exaggeration or a media myth. Yet, for many citizens living in the heart of our major European cities, these zones are not a theoretical debate -- they are a daily, lived reality. This report by New Direction aims to break the silence surrounding this phenomenon, offering the empirical clarity and political courage that have been missing for far too long. Across the European Union, we are witnessing the emergence of parallel societies where the laws of the State are increasingly replaced by the codes of radicalisation and the rule of violence. We must be honest about what we are seeing: there are now districts in our most historic capitals where a woman cannot walk alone

Incompatible with Western Civilization is what comes to mind.

I’m in London.

The most common language between Piccadilly and SoHo is “Not English”.

“Parallel”?...More like perpendicular.

It’s past time for another crusade, this time on our own land.

This isn’t geometry.
If this were medicine, you’d probably call no-go zones TUMORS

“We must be honest about what we are seeing: there are now districts in our most historic capitals where a woman cannot walk alone, where homosexuals are targeted for who they are, or where those who simply refuse to conform to radical dictates are treated as unwelcome outsiders.”

I have to admit, I disagree with 2 of the 3 above.

White Americans had no go zones in the 50s and 60s and have had it thrown in our faces ever since.....not that there’s many people left around that had a thing to do with it.

To think of the mainstream society running parallel (to quote the article) to these No-Go zones just doesn’t square with me. Get it?

Mr. ICE Agent, describe your time in Minneapolis.

quotes:

The confrontation unfolded after ICE agents tried to pull over Venezuelan immigrant Alfredo Alejandro Aljorna, who crashed his car while trying to flee the officers.

Aljorna, who had reportedly slammed into a light pole outside of the duplex where he and Sosa-Celis both lived with partners, tried to race into the building while Castro allegedly pursued him. That’s when Sosa-Celis, who was standing outside, got involved, and the three men briefly tussled, the video reportedly showed.

The BCA’s investigation of the bullet trajectory, along with the video, showed that Castro had gotten off the ground before firing the shot through the door, striking Sosa-Celis,

Demand for “automatous zone status” coming soon.

“Understanding the existence of no-go zones is not only a matter of security; it is an existential question for the future of European social cohesion"

A solution highlighted in this report entails “controlling and stopping massive migration flows by reducing family reunification, which currently represents a significant driver of immigration, exacerbating communal isolation.”

Nope, that isn't going to get it done. Islam must be excised from the West like the cancer that it is.

Thanks for posting. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness? No, death, slavery and the pursuit of the infidel. MoFo quote, “We love death more than you love life”.

That is exactly it. I might add that Islam is pretty much incompatible with any civilized society & should not be accepted any place except where ALL their citizens might feel comfortable with acceptability to it & that doesn’t seem like a “civilized society” to most of us.
