Jindal: Muslims form ‘no-go zones’ outside civic control
Quote:
WASHINGTON — Some countries have allowed Muslims to establish
autonomous neighborhoods in cities where they govern by a harsh version of Islamic law,
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal said Monday during a speech in London.
...
The Republican, who is considering a presidential campaign in 2016, later defended
— and repeated — the statement after facing reporters’ questions about his claims.
...
The claims on “no-go zones” are similar to those a Fox News guest made last week
about places where non-Muslims were not welcome in parts of the United Kingdom
such as Birmingham, and “Muslim religious police” enforce faith-based laws.
...
Jindal’s advisers see his comments on his trip abroad as
much-needed truth telling about the radical corners of Islam.
Such rhetoric may help his standing among evangelical pastors, who have sway over
many voters in early nominating states in the presidential race
such as Iowa and South Carolina.
And besides all that: Democrats said Jindal’s comments were a blunder.
