MEDIA HAVE REPORTED NO-GO ZONES FOR A DECADE Terrorism expert maligned for insisting Muslim enclaves exist While longtime counter-terrorism expert Steven Emerson was strongly criticized by establishment media for his remarks in a Fox News interview about Muslim “no-go” zones in Europe where police have lost control, many of the same news outlets have repeatedly used the term for at least a decade. “The political left in the mainstream media has decided to demonize me,” Emerson said in a WND interview. “It’s outrageous for media outlets to apologize, saying ‘no-go zones’ don’t exist in Europe, when even the New York Times for years has published articles documenting Muslim ‘no-go zones’ do exist in European countries like France.” In a Fox News interview Jan. 11, days after two Muslim French citizens murdered 12 people while shouting “Allahu Akbar,” Emerson said “there are actual cities like Birmingham that are totally Muslim, where non-Muslims just simply don’t go in.” He has acknowledged making an overstatement, but his critics have charged his claim has no basis whatsoever and ridiculed him for asserting that there is such a thing as “no-go” zones in Europe. But NBC News, the New York Times, the Associated Press and others were using the term “no-go” zones for Muslim-majority neighborhoods in Paris when Muslim youth gangs were rampaging through the streets and setting cars on fire. Emerson said he recently was in a television interview with BBC News in which “they were attacking me that ‘no-go zones’ don’t exist in Europe.” “So I pulled up one of their own articles the BBC published, which referenced ‘no-go zones’ in print,” he said. “They were so embarrassed, they didn’t know what to say.” Read more at wnd/2015/01/media-have-reported-no-go-zones-for-a-decade/#L1eW0uI3Drsg2mzL.99
