Birmingham helt muslimskt ?

Jag är i USA och följer debatten kring terroristattentaten i Paris via amerikanska medier. Det råder ingen brist på stolliga experter – allra minst i Fox News – men här är vad jag tror är rekordet:

A US counter-terrorism expert has become a laughing stock on social media for claiming that nobody but Muslims dared venture into Birmingham.

Steven Emerson, the author of six books on Islamic extremist networks in the West, who has several times given evidence to US Congress, assured viewers that Islam had a stranglehold on parts of Britain.

“There are actual cities like Birmingham that are totally Muslim, where non-Muslims just simply don’t go in,” he told the Fox News host Jeanine Pirro, a former judge, who nodded seriously in agreement.
