Czech president warns Muslim migration will create ‘excluded neighbourhoods’

Muslims who fail to integrate into European society are causing tense divisions with the creation of thousands of ‘no go’ zones, according to the Czech President.

Millions of undocumented migrants have fled from war-torn countries in the Middle East and North Africa to Europe, finding any way imaginable to cross borders to find safety.

Insisting he was not a xenophobe, he said he was “glad” for Vietnamese and Ukrainian migrants who had successfully integrated into Czech society.

But he claimed there were obvious examples all over Europe which showed Muslims were not willing to adopt European laws and customs, Express.co.uk reports.

The anti-immigration left-winger claimed, instead, many were choosing to live in Muslim-dominated no-go zones and were putting fellow citizens at risk.

He said: "Look across Europe and wonder to what extent Muslim migrants were able to integrate. 

“You will learn about the so-called no go areas and 'excluded neighbourhoods.' I do not rule out the possibility of positive examples though. 

“As for the Czech Republic, the Muslim community is very much limited here. I am warning against its strengthening.”

Mr Zeman, the first-ever directly elected president of the Czech Republic, has repeatedly spoken out over the surge of migrant arrivals in Europe.

In 2015, he called the surge in refugee numbers “an organised invasion” and urged young men from Iraq and Syria to “take up arms” against ISIS instead of fleeing their homes.

And he warned Muslim migrants who “respect Sharia instead of Czech laws” would ”deprive” the nation of female beauty by increasing the practice of wearing head coverings.
