Claims of Muslim 'no-go zones' draw backlash
NOW With Alex Wagner
01/19/15
Alex Wagner is joined by Arsalan Iftikhar to discuss the backlash against Fox News for perpetuating claims that Muslim "no-go zones" exist in European countries - and although Fox has since apologized, GOP presidential hopeful Bobby Jindal [has now jumped on the bandwagon.]
MSNBC shuns guest who made racially charged remark about Jindal
January 20, 2015
MSNBC is distancing itself from a guest who asserted on Monday that Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal "might be trying to scrub some of the brown off his skin."
Arsalan Iftikhar, a human rights attorney and commentator, made the racially-tinged remark on MSNBC's "Now with Alex Wagner." It immediately prompted criticism.
An MSNBC spokeswoman told CNN on Tuesday morning that Iftikhar won't be appearing on the channel again.
"We found this guest's comments offensive and unacceptable, and we don't plan on inviting him back," the spokeswoman said.
Iftikhar didn't immediately respond to a request for further comment. But on Monday night, he told CNN, "I will apologize to Bobby Jindal when he apologizes to seven million American Muslims for advancing the debunked 'Muslim no-go zones' myth."
Jindal did no such thing on Tuesday. Instead, he faulted MSNBC for giving Iftikhar a platform in the first place. The governor compared Iftikhar's criticism to liberal filmmaker Michael Moore's recent assertion that "snipers aren't heroes."
"It's embarrassing for MSNBC to give voice to such shallow foolishness," Jindal told CNN in a statement. "Much like Michael Moore denigrating our military servicemen, these comments deserve no comment."
He continued: "I will not be silenced. Radical Islam must be stopped and we must stop pretending. It is time for the Western world to face reality. These are not cultural differences, this is the difference between right and wrong. It is wrong to treat women as second class citizens and it is wrong to shoot civilian teenagers in the head for watching soccer on TV. Period."

Bobby Jindal Warns of U.S. ‘No-Go Zones’ if We Don’t Force Muslims to Assimilate
by Matt Wilstein | 5:46 pm, January 21st, 2015
Governor Bobby Jindal (R-LA) doubled down on his controversial comments about so-called “no-go zones [ http://www.mediaite.com/print/gov-jindal-still-pushing-discredited-claim-of-no-go-zones/ ]” for non-Muslims in a big way during a Fox News interview Wednesday afternoon. He even suggested that if the U.S. doesn’t take the threat of radical Islam seriously, we could have our own “no-go zones” in the near future.
Jindal began by addressing comments made on MSNBC by human rights attorney Arsalan Iftikhar, who was banned from appearing on the network [ http://www.mediaite.com/tv/msnbc-will-not-invite-back-guest-who-made-brown-scrubbing-jindal-comments/ ] after suggesting the governor [ http://www.mediaite.com/tv/msnbc-guest-jindal-trying-to-scrub-some-of-the-brown-off-his-skin-with-no-go-zone-comments/ ] was trying to “scrub some of the brown off his skin” with his “no-go zone” talk. “It’s foolish that MSNBC even gave somebody like this a platform,” Jindal said of Iftikhar.
“Did you know the term ‘no-go zones’ was wrong?” Fox’s Neil Cavuto [ http://www.mediaite.com/power-grid/person/?q=Neil+Cavuto ] asked. “We reported the same and we were wrong. We botched it. We apologized for it,” he said of Fox’s series of apologies for similar statements [ http://www.mediaite.com/tv/fox-formally-apologizes-for-claiming-muslims-have-taken-over-european-cities/ ] . “You are not, I take it?”
Jindal said that while Fox apologized for calling “an entire city” a “no-go zone,” that he was merely referring to certain neighborhoods in those cities. “You can call them whatever term you want, but absolutely there are neighborhoods, we have communities of people that don’t want to integrate or assimilate,” he said.
As an Indian-American, Jindal argued that we have to start removing the hyphens from our identities here in the United States. “If people don’t want to come here to integrate and assimilate, what they’re really trying to do is set up their own culture, their own communities,” he said. “What they’re really trying to do is overturn our culture. We need to recognize that threat.”
“If we don’t, we’re going see a replica of what’s happening in Europe in America,” the governor continued. “We’re going to see our own no-go zones if we’re not serious about insisting on assimilation and integration.”
Asked once more if he wanted to take any comments back, Jindal replied, “Absolutely not.”
