For years,author Mark Steynmentioned no-go zones and unassimilated communities. In 2017 Raheem Kassam authored the bookNo Go Zones: How Sharia Law is Coming to a Neighborhood Near You.A comment about the book included the following:
“As I read this book, I had forgotten how many people have been murdered in the West in the name of Islam. The commonness with which these attacks are occurring is frightening and even more so, is how numb we’ve become to it. How much blood will be shed before politicians acknowledge the root cause of the problem? Europe is being transformed before our very eyes and everyone is just averting their gaze. This ignorance is allowing these extremist attitudes to fester and the unwillingness to criticize Islam is the catalyst of this problem.
Now almost a decade later, theNew Direction – the Foundation for European Conservatismhas published “No-Go Zones Immigration, Islamisation, and the rise of Parallel Societies.”

Nicola Procaccini MEP, President of New Direction, explains: “For too long, the term ‘no-go zone’ has been dismissed by some as a political exaggeration or a media myth. Yet, for many citizens living in the heart of our major European cities, these zones are not a theoretical debate — they are a daily, lived reality. This report by New Direction aims to break the silence surrounding this phenomenon, offering the empirical clarity and political courage that have been missing for far too long. Across the European Union, we are witnessing the emergence of parallel societies where the laws of the State are increasingly replaced by the codes of radicalisation and the rule of violence. We must be honest about what we are seeing: there are now districts in our most historic capitals where a woman cannot walk alone, where homosexuals are targeted for who they are, or where those who simply refuse to conform to radical dictates are treated as unwelcome outsiders.”
“While academic literature often hides behind euphemisms like ‘urban marginality’ or ‘parallel societies’, the reality is far more severe. This reluctance to name the problem has created a dangerous gap between the public debate and the empirical truth, leaving key questions unexplored.
“Understanding the existence of no-go zones is not only a matter of security; it is an existential question for the future of European social cohesion. It forces us to confront the failures of uncontrolled immigration, the lack of effective integration policies, and the abdication of responsibility by local governments. If we allow these enclaves to grow, we are not just losing control of our streets, but also the very values of freedom and equality that define our civilization. We cannot fix what we refuse to see [emphasis mine]. It is time to reclaim our cities and ensure that every corner of Europe remains a place where the law of the land and the light of liberty prevail.”
Indeed, “[w]ithin European Muslim communities… Salafism, Tablighi Jamaat, Millî Görüş, and Muslim Brotherhood networks have reinforced norms of cultural and moral separation [which] frequently promote doctrines incompatible with liberal democratic norms (such as gender segregation or rejection of secular law), enabling a socially insulated communal sphere.”
In fact, “in most no-go zones, crime has a predominantly imported character. Across Europe, the pattern is consistent… mass immigration from culturally distant regions has produced fragmentation rather than integration. The violence and criminality in these areas are not merely side effects of poverty or social inequality, but are oftendriven by imported cultural norms, [emphasis mine] sustained by strong intra-community solidarity and enabled by the permissiveness of modern Western societies.”
