Gov. Bobby Jindal has been speaking in London recently, and he startled quite a number of people in the House of Commons when he talked about “no-go zones” in Britain, places where Sharia law trumps British law.
He announced confidently to a group that included a number of British parliamentarians that the police in the United Kingdom don’t dare to tread in these zones, where Sharia law is widely used. “Nonassimilationist 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,” he said.
This is the sort of ill-informed fantasy that plays well in certain right-wing circles. This probably works for Jindal back home in Louisiana.
