TPM Reader DW checks in (just barely) from the Islamic State of Paris …
I was particularly amused – or maybe amazed? – by the claim of no-go zones in Paris when I saw the map of where they supposedly were. I stayed in one of those zones – in a perfectly nice apartment rented through airbnb this past October! It was a quite safe area, with a few obvious Muslims seen on the street, also a few ultra-orthodox Jews and a wide variety of ordinary French people. Certainly brought home how much of what one sees on Fox is just blatantly made-up! The only safety threat I experienced was the odd speeding motor scooter.
