Tony Perkins doubles down on the "No-Go Zone" fake story...



Tony Perkins: Dearborn And Neighborhoods In Minneapolis Are Muslim No-Go Zones

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Tuesday, 1/20/2015 11:35 am

While Fox News has apologized for its discredited and widely mocked reports about European “no-go zones” that are run according to Sharia law, Family Research Council President Tony Perkins is standing by the false claims that there are around “700 no-go zones” in France alone and that Dearborn, Michigan, has fallen to Sharia law.

When a “Washington Watch” caller on Friday told Perkins about no-go zones where Muslims are “doing military-type training in Virginia and New York,” which he “heard on Bryan Fischer[’s]” radio show, Perkins said that he had also heard rumors corroborating such allegations.

In France, Perkins said, “they have like 700 no-go zones where authorities have allowed Sharia law to be imposed. There are some areas in this country that in effect that has occurred. Dearborn, Michigan, is one of the places, there are some places in Minneapolis, I don’t think it’s as clear cut as what we’ve seen in Europe, it’s been more by the effect that that’s occurred.”

This Commandment was written mainly due to the fact that back then, vicious gossip could get a person deprived of their family, their freedom, even their life.

But Tony Perkins has lied about many people, many times.
