chosen.content: I don't believe in the idea of Sharia "no-go" zones. First, the concept of a separate area for religious practice is largely foreign to Islam; even when a particular religious edict is enacted in an area, there is no concept of the whole area being off-limits to those who do not adhere to the edict. Second, most Islamic scholars emphasize personal spiritual practice over any geographical restrictions or boundaries. Instead of no-go zones, what I believe is more likely is the reality that certain neighborhoods are inhabited largely by people who share the same religion and cultural customs.

rejected.content: I believe the notion of so-called "Sharia no-go zones" is a common stereotype that has no basis in reality. These types of zones do not actually exist, and those who assert their presence are usually talking about discreet, self-contained and often highly-policed suburbs or districts which are not inherently no-go zones but simply areas which are more conservative or adhere to a different interpretation of Sharia law. Even in these zones, crime and lawlessness rarely take hold and law enforcement can easily access the area if needed. It is important to remember that Sharia law actually protects and strengthens citizens’ rights and freedoms, so it is actually quite the opposite of a “no-go” zone.
