NRA wants Muslim 'no-go' zones in US

NRA wants Muslim 'no-go' zones in US
By Staff Writers, teleSUR

Americans have the least warm feeling towards Muslims compared to other religious groups in the United States, a recent survey suggests.

“The street signs suddenly went from English to Arabic,” a speaker at the annual meeting of the United Sates National Rifle Association’s, or NRA, told supporters of gun ownership on Tuesday. Steve Tarani, an author and self-proclaimed trainer and security expert, spoke for about an hour at the NRA seminar about the threats facing the U.S. from Muslim “settlements” gaining foothold in different cities in the U.S.

The speaker went on to describe his personal experience as he entered one of those “Muslim-controlled” neighborhoods.
“I have seen it with my own eyes, witnessed it in the backseat of a car and it is for real. No-go zones exist in the United States,” Tarani said.

According to Tarani's friend from the Detroit police department, the Muslim-majority Dearborn, a city in the state of Michigan, has zones where police can not go. “’We don’t go past this line.’ And I said to Jeremy, ‘what do you mean? You guys are Detroit Metro. You’re the SWAT team. You can go anywhere you want. What if you get a call over there?’ He said ‘this is it, it’s hazardous for our team if we go past this line,’” Tarani was quoted as saying in a report by Think Progress Magazine.

also from the article:
In January a Fox News “expert” claimed that Muslim extremists have taken over zones, where they applied Sharia Law, in several European countries including the United Kingdom. Steven Emerson, Fox News terrorism expert, even showed maps of where those zones were during an interview. While known to be extremely biased against Muslims in the U.S., Fox News network in fact apologized four times during one day for what it called “errors” that had no factual grounds made by the expert.

The remarks drew a massive backlash, including a bashing comment from the prime minister of the U.K., David Cameron, who called the Fox News expert “a complete idiot”.

Does this mean Tarani and Emerson should start an idiots club?

The NRA is now an arm of the GOP, and like the GOP, they are a hate group.

Why would DETROIT cops go into DEARBORN? Different jurisdiction. Certainly city official boundaries limit the presence of police from other jurisdictions. So, if we're talking city limits, hell, they are all over the country. ISIS wins!!

How do these people remember to breathe? The stupid hurts....

13. "No-go zones" in Dearborn, Michigan?

I try to refrain from using profanity on internet forums but this is the stupidest fucking shit I've read all day.

There seems to be a segment of the Right that is pining for European-style no-go areas in America, just so they can say, "I told you so!"

For whatever reasons, Arab Muslim immigrants in the United States tend to be law-abiding and entrepreneurial. They open up shops and send their kids to college. I don't know why but there is an entirely different dynamic at play here than what is seen in Europe, where Arab Muslims are cordoned off into ghetto "suburbs" with no hope and no prospects.

Anyways, I'd feel perfectly safe wandering the streets of Dearborn at night, which is more than I can so for several other parts of Detroit.
