Despite numerous retractions from Fox News, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal repeated the “no-go zones” claim today about supposed radical Islamist enclaves in cities throughout Western Europe in remarks made in a speech he gave in London.

When interviewed after his speech by CNN to give specific examples, Jindal said

“I’ve heard from folks here that there are neighborhoods where women don’t feel comfortable going in without veils. That’s wrong. We all know that there are neighborhoods where police are less likely to go into,” he told CNN’s Max Foster.

“I think that the radical Left absolutely wants to pretend like this problem is not here. Pretending it’s not here won’t make it go away.”

Pressed to offer specific examples of such areas, Jindal demurred, saying only “I think your viewers know absolutely there are places where the police are less likely to go. They absolutely know there are neighborhoods where they wouldn’t feel comfortable.”

And asked whether that feeling may be caused by high crime rates, rather than the Muslim population in the area, Jindal said, “this isn’t a question.”

“I know the left wants to make this into an attack on religion and that’s not what this is. What we are saying it’s absolutely an issue for the UK, absolutely is an issue for America and other European and Western nations,” he added.

Despite criticism of the no-go zone idea, the speech drew praise from conservatives, with National Review columnist Larry Kudlow calling it a “brilliant take on radical Islam.”

“It is the toughest speech I have read on the whole issue of Islamic radicalism and its destructive, murdering, barbarous ways which are upsetting the entire world,” Kudlow wrote in an op-ed.

Should I get out my popcorn to watch conservatives duke it out over Islam for 2016?
