Abolishing the ZUS unfounded myth

Reader comment on item: The 751 No-Go Zones of France

Submitted by Harrak (Canada), Nov 28, 2006 at 23:44

ZUS to be called Dar al Islam is invalid as argument.

Example 1: In the city of Tangier -Morocco- in 1990s there was two zones uncontrolled by the Moroccan state.

1: called the Sadam Neighberhood -Houmat Sadam, (where police do not enter for fear of clashes. Mainly poor and uneducated with drug trafic culture).

2: The land of the state neighberhood ,Arddu` dawla: and this one was formed due to rural exodus and poor rural immigrants taking over lands and building Bidon Villes and spontanious housing. After 2000 both became part of a new city and have their own administration part of the new king reform policy. State now has full control as both neighberhoods are no longer marginalized.

Example 2: Vaziristan in Pakistan! is it a Dar al Islam iniside Dar al Islam!!

Example 3: Native reserves in Canada

Example 4: Black gettos

..and more examples to use are available to abolish the claim that the ZUS are Dar al islam, especially as black African live in the ZUSs as well with my own eye witnessing.
