Bobby Jindal slams 'no-go zones,' pushes 'assimilation' - CNN.com
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal on Monday stood by his criticism of so-called "no-go" zones in Europe, where sovereign nations allegedly cede authority to Muslim immigrants, a controversial idea that many critics say is overblown.
And the potential 2016 Republican presidential candidate decried what he called immigrants' insistence on "non-assimilation, the fact that "you've got people who want to come to our country but not adopt our values," which he called "dangerous."
Jindal was also unable to offer examples during an earlier interview with CNN's Max Foster, saying that he's "heard from folks here that there are neighborhoods where women don't feel comfortable going in without veils ... We all know that there are neighborhoods where police are less likely to go into."
"I think that the radical Left absolutely wants to pretend like this problem is not here. Pretending it's not here won't make it go away," he told Foster.
Pressed for details, Jindal said only "I think your viewers know absolutely there are places where the police are less likely to go."
And asked whether that feeling may be caused by high crime rates, rather than the Muslim population in the area, Jindal said, "This isn't a question."
"I know the Left wants to make this into an attack on religion and that's not what this is. What we are saying it's absolutely an issue for the UK, absolutely is an issue for America and other European and Western nations," he said.
During his London speech, Jindal said, "In the West, non-assimilationist Muslims establish enclaves and carry out as much of Sharia law as they can without regard for the laws of the democratic countries which provided them a new home," according to prepared remarks.
"It is startling to think that any country would allow, even unofficially, for a so called 'no-go zone.' The idea that a free country would allow for specific areas of its country to operate in an autonomous way that is not free and is in direct opposition to its laws is hard to fathom," he said.
Jindal also suggested the rise of such no-go zones has contributed to growing anti-semitism throughout Europe, which has prompted many Jews to emigrate from their home countries.
"How does such evil rise again in democratic countries?" Jindal said. "I believe it is because radical Islamists have been given too wide a berth to establish their own nation within a nation," he said.
He also mentioned whole cities "where non-Muslims simply don't go in," in particular the city of Birmingham in the United Kingdom.
