PRAISE FOR
NO GO ZONES
HOW SHARIA LAW IS COMING TO A NEIGHBORHOOD NEAR YOU
Raheem Kassam is one of the most fearless and insightful journalists on the scene today, and he pulls no punches in No Go Zones: How Sharia Law Is Spreading in America as he boldly exposes what most of his peers and colleagues would rather pass over in silence or, even worse, actively deny in the face of an ever-increasing mountain of evidence. All that evidence is in this book, presented with the candor and realism that is so urgently needed on this increasingly serious issue. No Go Zones is a unique look at a phenomenon that is growing under the noses of our politicians and law enforcement officials, who are too busy pursuing outreach to Muslim communities to notice.
ROBERT SPENCER, director of Jihad Watch and author of the New York Times bestselling books The Politically Incorrect Guideto Islam (and the Crusades) and The Truth About Muhammad
An important and eye-opening look inside the Islamic enclaves that dot Europe and are now cropping up in America. Kassam takes us on a tour that is both enlightening and frightening. If you want to understand why radical Islam is spreading in the West and why so little is being done to stop it, this is the book to read.
WILLIAM KILPATRICK, author of The Politically Incorrect Guideto Jihad
What the West calls No Go Zones are Islams way of building a territorial shield of separation and a firm line of demarcation between Dar Al Islam, the House of Islam, and Dar Al Harb, the House of Warthe rest of the world, with which Islam is at perpetual war. The Islamic community is saying We will never assimilate. Thank you, Raheem Kassam, for alerting the West of this purely Islamic phenomenon of rejection that will inevitably lead to a bloody confrontation between the Islamic and the Western way of life.

W hen Raheem told me he was writing this book on No Go Zones in the Western world, my first reaction was Thank goodness someone is doing this job. My second thought was, I hope hes careful.
The reason for my first response is probably self-explanatory. This is an issue that is so contentious mainly because no one has yet documented these areas as comprehensively as Raheem does in this book. Its a topic that is marred by half-truths, full denials, slips of tongues, and an attempt to reject the notion of such areas in such a brazen and unfounded manner that much of the establishment media that spends its time in denial can truly wear the title Fake News proudly.
Now, Im pleased to say, they have a very good starting point by which to judge the merits of the debates on integration, assimilation, and the scale and speed of migration into the West.
My second thought on the book was multifaceted.
Firstly, people who speak out against radical Islam, highlighting issues such as Sharia law, terrorism, and indeed things that shouldnt be contentious like integration are often targeted, abused, endure massive attempts at being discredited, or even find themselves on the receiving end of threats or violence. As a personal friend, I am sincerely concerned that such brave truth-telling on the subject might find Raheem on the receiving end of some of this.
But as a professional colleague, I was also concerned at the scale of the task.
How can you, I wondered, summarize so much, over so many decades, in so many places around the Western world in just one book?
Im delighted to say after having read this book that Raheem has done an excellent job in balancing hard data and statistics, and using multiple areas from around Europe and the United States in his attempt to fairly portray the issues facing majority Muslim areas in the West.
And its not just that, either.
From Molenbeek to Malm, from Brooklyn to Hamtramck, each of these areas has its own, unique characteristics. Its own players. Its own resistance movements.
The personal stories and interviews contained in this book shine a much-needed light on how actors, from residents to local officials, politicians, and pressure groups, all play into the massive discord taking place in areas across Europe and America.
Truly, the final product is one that bears reading, citing, and even corroborating by other journalists, who I implore to follow Raheems lead in getting to the bottom of these issues.
Of course, with any book of this length, there is so much more to tell, and I hope Raheem can follow up with more information, more trips, more investigation, and more documentation of what is going on in our towns and cities.
I also want to take the opportunity to commend his fair mindedness on this issue.
Raheem has been careful not to portrayas someone more alarmist mightthese communities as marauding, out of control groups intent on the decline of the West. In a lot of instances in fact, the people who find themselves ghettoized and demonized from all sides are victims themselves of their community leaders and actors who want to drive a wedge between migrant communities and native populations.
The work concerning poverty and socioeconomic factors is pivotal. The work on Deobandism and the Tablighi Jamaat movement is seminal. And the work contained in this book on the aggravating factorsusually the establishment, the political Leftis a warning sign to America to stand up and assert its identity, enforce its laws, and demand integration before it is too late for many places in the United States.
