Snopes, a website that investigates urban legends, looked into the so-called "no-go zones" after Emerson's interview, and found them to be a myth.Quote
According to the website, the myth stemmed "from translation confusion over what are known as "zones urbaines sensibles" (ZUS) or "sensitive urban zones" in France."
"While some pockets of citizenry (including high-density Muslim populations) in France have indeed been identified as ZUS, and the term is not a designator for large populations of Muslims. Rather, the highlighted areas are ones that have been afflicted with issues such as crime, poverty, unemployment, and blight and are therefore targeted for urban renewal initiatives," Snopes continued. "Areas designated as ZUS in France are not exempted from policing or French law, and are simply targeted for renewal initiatives."http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2015/01/more-fox-news-expert-fail-muslim-ghettos-have-made-france-into-afghanistan-after-911/"> //http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2015/01/more-fox-news-expert-fail-muslim-ghettos-have-made-france-into-afghanistan-after-911/
