They don't want anything reminding them that it's not Muslim soverign territory
Reader comment on item: Muslim "No-go Zones" in Europe?
Submitted by Anon. (Israel), Dec 2, 2015 at 23:21
Someone ought to have mentioned this before. Civilians don't disturb them much. However, state officials symbolise infidel rule, which makes it something of a no-go area for them.

He describes what living in Molenbeek is like for a non-Muslim.

Daniel Pipes replies:
Good article on Teun Voeten, "Molenbeek broke my heart: A former resident reflects on his struggles with Brussels' most notorious neighborhood." Of particular note is the role of the long-time Socialist mayor of Molenbeek, Philippe Moureau.
