    I'm not sure there are any facts here at all, except that he had called moderate muslim groups "Uncle Toms" and was made to apologize for it. So if you want any of us to refute the facts, you need to state what they are.

    The article in no way describes the establishing of sharia law in the UK, which is a thing that simple isn't happening outside of whatever informal courts might exist. Orthodox Jews have courts like that as well, but they're not binding outside of those groups. Courts like that exist in New York for the Orthodox Jewish communities, and I presume there's muslims groups having a session to settle cases internally.

    The Catholic Church has its own type of court which is used to evaluate divorce cases, or blaspheme charges, or appeals of excommunications etc...

      These articles have to further clarify what is meant by a "no-go zone" to be areas where police have been attacked by gangs on a systematically higher level. Rocks thrown at ambulances etc... and where there's predominantly an immigrant population of mainly muslims.

      The zones describes are basically just bad neighborhoods, of which the US has plenty of. That's the kernel of truth to the story. And I'll definitely grant some animosity between the ethnic population and the rest of the country. However the idea that the sharia courts run by imams there trump any rule of law, that police can't patrol the places, that rescue workers or ambulances can't get there, is very much a myth.

      Its a myth that's popular though, and even Fox News have had to openly apologise for claiming that the entire city of Birmingham was a no-go zone. Mind you that was Fox News terrorism expert claiming this. Which came as quite a shock to UK Prime Minister Cameron who lived there.

        There is ample evidence that they do exist.

        And this isn't a recent development. Here's an AP story from 2005:

        A similar report from The New York Times reported "no go zones" as a matter of fact in Europe:

        Source: The New York Times

        (2005) Branded by France's police intelligence agency as one of the country's 150 "no go zones," where police officers should enter only with major reinforcements, La Courneuve was caught up in the violence in which rioters torched cars, trashed businesses and ambushed the police.

        It is here that a policeman was seriously injured and hospitalized one night in November when a metal ball was dropped on his head. It is also here that the police beat a young man who hurled insults at them, a moment of frustration and panic that was captured by a television crew and prompted the suspension of several officers.

        And there are many more examples. Of course back then, even liberals had some inkling that Islam was a dangerous ideology, so the fact of "no go zones" was reported with disarming honesty. But times have changed, and now we have weasels like CNN's Anderson Cooper apologizing to viewers if a guest dares to breath word of truth.

          Shortly after the terrorist attacks in Paris, France back in 2015, the Molenbeek municipality in Brussels, Belgium (where the terrorists were based) was described as a "no-go area." As reported in the New York TimesUrban Sociology: A Global Introduction, published by Cambridge University Press in 2013 says that the Paris police, not the media, describe La Courneuve, a commune/district in northern Paris, as being a no-go zone. French politicians prefer the much more PC term "Zone urbaine sensible" (ZUS) which means "Sensitive urban zone."

              It baffles me that you could read either of those sources (or the other sources I presented in post #33) and not think that the existence of no-go zones is a foregone conclusions.

                      I thought you were referring to the articles I had posted proving "no go zones" that exist throughout Europe.

                      London we've already covered in this article I posted earlier:

                      Muslim Patrol groups often regulate no-go zones. In this video, one group can be seen taking alcohol from people and scolding women to cover their bodies...

                      (Dec 2015)Serving police officers today backed Donald Trump's claim that some Muslim communities in the UK are no-go areas because of extremism.

                      Several Met officers have said the 'Islamification' of some parts of the capital requires 'extra vigilance' and they can't wear uniforms for safety reasons...

                      The US presidential contender caused worldwide consternation yesterday after a string of incendiary remarks about Muslims, including in Britain, and said: 'We have places in London and other places that are so radicalised that police are afraid for their own lives.'

                      But one serving officer said today Trump had 'pointed out something plainly obvious, something which I think we aren't as a nation willing to own up to'.

                      Another policeman said that he and other colleagues fear being terror targets and spoke of the 'dire warning' from bosses not to wear a uniform 'even in my own car'.

                          Apart from the trivial issue that London is not a city in the Midlands, your source claims there are no-go areas, but cites some-one saying there aren't:
                          ""

                          Your second source doesn't mention the police.

                          Your third source is essentially the same as the first, and contains the same contradiction.

                          Your fourth source is not only based on unverifiable anonymous sources, but explicitly states that the police do go into the so-called 'no-go' areas, albeit with extra precautions.

                          Your fifth source describes what radical Islamicists want to do, not reality, and includes no evidence whatsoever of no-go areas, just some bishop overstating the facts in the same way that you are.
                          Like I said, the evidence is overwhelming, and "no go zones" throughout Europe are a foregone conclusion at this point.
                          There are no 'no-go' zones in London. Your own sources make that clear.
