CNN Reporter Confronts Jindal for ‘Exaggerating’ Muslim ‘No-Go Zones’

Following a speech he gave in London Monday that referenced the discredited claims of “no-go zones” for non-Muslims in Britain, Gov. Bobby Jindal (R-LA) continued to defend his point to a CNN reporter who pressed him for evidence. 

In his remarks, Jindal said, “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.”

But later, he was confronted by CNN’s Max Foster to back up these claims. “Look, I’ve heard from folks here that there are neighborhoods where women don’t feel comfortable going in without veils,” Jindal said. “That’s wrong. We all know that there are neighborhoods where police are less likely to go into.”

“But you need to have proper, sort of, facts to back that up,” Foster replied, saying he, as British man, has never heard of “no-go zones” for non-Muslims.

Jindal said that’s why he added the word “so-called” before “no-go zones” in his speech before turning the accusations around on liberals. “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 said. 

As Foster continued to press him for evidence and accused him of “exaggerating” the situation, Jindal replied, “I think your viewers know absolutely there are places where the police are less likely to go. They absolutely know there are neighborhoods where they wouldn’t feel comfortable.”

“I know the left wants to make this into an attack on religion and that’s not what this is,” he said again. “What we are saying it’s absolutely an issue for the UK, absolutely is an issue for America and other European and Western nations.”

Jindal’s comments come after Fox News was forced to air a series of on-air apologies after “so-called” terrorism “experts” made similar statements without evidence following the terror attacks against Charlie Hebdo in Paris.

What are Chinatown, Little Italy and other ethnic neighborhoods? WHat about little Havana?

Most countries that permit immigration have neighborhoods that emigrants settle and transform the neighborhood...I don't see anything wrong with that...

if they had "chinaman" patrols etc testing chines credentials then one would say so. It is not about the neighborhood ethnicity but the enforcement of rules not applicable in the society in general.

There is no proof about such "Islamic rules" being enforced in Europe in these neighborhoods...why do you think Fox issued issued an apology to France and England about propagating such nonsense

Bobby Jindal ...last Republican hope, or dope!

But what does this have to do that it is a fact these people do as stated? 

FOX News do engage in providing incorrect information disguised and cobbled with other issues.

Hey hey hey...aheh just likka GINA, Chranicle and Guyana Times. 

How many of these nationalities/groups you mentioned would you say have attacked the country they chose to live in because of their own country's way of treating them?

Bobby Jindal is a soup drinking FOOL!!!

The question is it really true...or just made up stuff to feed the anti islam crazies on FOX. I don't doubt that some of this stuff takes place, but it is not widespread like they had claimed. That is why they apologized.

Jindal is just being an ass....but I guess he is appealing to the Repub base

ass kisser

If you are saying all these communities are attacking the countries they choose to live in, then you obviously differ from what was said by the leaders of these countries. These leaders have stated that most of these communities have assimilated well, and they are hardworking productive members of society. I am sure you have seen many Muslim doctors, engineers, accountants etc...are you also blaming them for these acts?

I am not disagreeing that there are elements in these communities who want to see a conflict, they would prefer reactions like you see on FOX etc....but if you want to fall into the terrorist trap, then so be it

"If you are saying all these communities are attacking the countries they choose to live in, then you obviously differ from what was said by the leaders of these countries."

Never said that, I said the opposite.

I asked how many of the other nationalities/groups attack/blow up the country in which they reside.. Your answer should be, None.

It is the backward Muslims who do this..that's all I meant.

Cain, It is not that difficult. IT IS NOT the Community that blow things up, IT IS a FEW SICK BASTARDS.  What is so difficult to understand??  If you still need help, I am here.!!!

arrite, I'll play along...how many of these peoples' countries has US attacked?

Do you think that some of this stuff has happened because of US intervention in the ME?

Mind you, I am not saying it's right...just making sure you have a proper perspective that things don't happen willy nilly

Lemme see...Bush attacked Iraq and killed hundreds of thousands because of 9/11...when Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11...don't you think them folks gon harbor hard feeling towards the US?

After all...many of 9/11 attackers were from Saudi Arabia, why didn't he attack them?

Like I said, I don't agree with the terrorists...but you cannot blame the whole community

Banna look, it's possible there are more people against Bush's actions but will we pay for this every dam day?

If this is going to be a continuing problem, then maybe it's time the US and the rest of their allies kick out everyone of these people who parade in the streets and carry on their violent behaviour. They should also halt immigration from these countries, start looking at these people as the enemy...regardless if we made them so because it's obvious they will not forget and being the violent people they are because it's ingrained in them  they will always cause trouble.

WHy should US halt immigration from these countries? Which Muslim community in the US has attacked the US?

yuh talkin sheer fart...
