No-go zones in Europe.

On January 18, 2015, the Washington Post was crowing about "the no-go myth" and "loose and utterly unsupported chatter about Muslim 'no-go zones' in Europe" on Fox News.

Fox issued apologies by different people, thereby proving that media outlets capable of occasionally and inadvertently making accurate observations about any Muslim presence in the West -- and stating or implying that Muslims in the West are a dangerous and indigestible presence anywhere they congregate outside their homelands – are incapable of doing simple research and defending their reports with some factual information.

White flags on permanent issue to all Fox News staff from the guys in the mailroom on up.

However there are indeed no-go zones "in Europe." France in particular has 751 "Sensitive Urban Zones" that are, well, not completely French. The Washington Post story linked to above itself recounts Fox (?) correspondent Greg Palkot's story of riding with French police in a "very bad ghetto" and witnessing them back up and drive away when they encountered "a group of young men at the other end of the street."

In Marseilles recently, young men did more than merely congregate in the street – they opened fire on the police.

The [French] prime minister said in a speech at the Marseille police headquarters that "the simple fact of wearing a uniform" now exposed officers to violence.

Then there's this article from Sweden:

Since the real law doesn’t apply, the function of justice has largely been taken over by the gangs themselves, not unlike how the mafia is seen as the go-to place in rural Italy when the local police is too corrupt to serve its purpose. Unofficial courts are held and punishments are meted out based on the cultural norms of the dominant gangs. Some no-go areas even have vehicle checkpoints at the border, according to the [October 2014] report [of the Rikskriminalpolisen]. Not police checkpoints, but the gangs protecting their turf from law enforcement and rival gangs.

Behold one map of Swedish no-go areas or, if you prefer, areas in Sweden where the exercise of Swedish sovereign authority is less than idea. To wit, AISWTEOSSAILTI areas:

Here's a list of the areas in France that the French government has designated as "sensitive" for no reason whatsoever.

Reality deniers take the position that anything short of Muslim areas with standing armies, their own air force, a diplomatic corps, border guards, their own Wal Mart, and a financial system to debase their own currency and spend their "zone" into bankruptcy is not a no-go zone. How honest that position is I will leave to the reader.

Nor do these events occur in a vacuum. There is no authoritative thinking in the Islamic world that envisions a stealthy, gradual takeover of countries in Dar al-Harb. There is Muslim thinking that an initial Islamic presence is but an entering wedge, a spear point if you will, behind which will follow a larger, more hostile and controlling Muslim presence.

The usual hysteria and lies will try to paint anyone who points this out as a hater and a bigot. However, this is becoming old hat and simply comical. The progressive haters of Western civilization routinely trot out these slurs when they have no factual arguments to make and when they cannot provide a source for any factual assertion they make. The quibbling over whether Manchesterabad was mistakenly referred to as 100% Muslim is dishonest.

Short of this outright dishonesty, there is also a willful blindness on the part of Westerners to these realities. Many reasons have been suggested for this. I lean to the theory that Westerners in the mass no longer have any stomach for a fight. Why else would they accept insult piled on insult and accept the political "leadership" of freaks and traitors?
