 * A no-go zone A state within a state. The ultimate expression of an ethnic ghetto, an ethnic neighborhood becomes insular such that persons from the state within which it is located do not or may not enter. A no-go area implies some or complete autonomy. Police from the state within which it is located do not patrol or have limited ability to enforce the laws of the larger state. In Europe and France the historical example is the Casbah or Kasbah and is sometimes a walled fortress or keep. Police functions are handled internally by those in control of the community and laws are set by them within the zone. A longstanding example of this in the US would be the reservations of the American Indian Nations. US treaties recognize them as sovereign and allow them most legislative rights. Recently the Parisian no-go zones have been the subject of much debate. Paris and France have absorbed a large number of Islamic immigrants who have established multiple no go zones within France. There is discussion that the locations are breeding grounds for extremism and teachings that seek to supplant the indigenous culture, government, and established social order of France. The Charlie Hebdo terror incident as well as other terror incidents in France have relation to Islamic controlled no-go zones.
