Fox News 'terror expert' apologises after claiming Birmingham is 'totally Muslim'

A screengrab of Steve Emerson.

Steve Emerson may be a national security, terrorism and extremism expert but definitely not one on the population of Birmingham.

The American journalist and author sparked controversy as he claimed on Fox News that Birmingham, the metropolitan borough in England, is populated entirely by Muslims.

“In Britain, it’s not just no-go zones, there are actual cities like Birmingham that are totally Muslim where non-Muslims just simply don’t go in,” Emerson claimed.

“And, parts of London, there are actually Muslim religious police that actually beat and actually wound seriously anyone who doesn’t dress according to religious Muslim attire,” he added.

Later, Emerson apologised for his comments, which he said were in ‘total error,’ but people had already taken to social networking site, Twitter, to express their outrage and disbelief at his ignorance.

Mocking Emerson’s claims, people from all over the world tweeted under the hashtag #foxnewsfacts. Here are some hilarious tweets:

Utter rubbish. Another example of unprofessional low grade journalism to spread lies and depicting things out of context.

Yup Soon Pakistanis will take over Britain and we will make it our backyard.

 

[Menace2Society]

Why would Birmingham be a no go zone when nobody wants to go to this zone?

Luton, Birmingham, Southall, Rochdale, Oldham are full of Indians, Sikhs, Sri Lankans too... I didn't hear him mention them...

He was not talking in that context - he was talking about muslims. By the way there are more Indians in the UK than Pakistanis.

@Topic - Fox news, Says alot.

 

[syedali73]

His point is all Pakistanis are potential terrorists.

 

[koolio]

He is just a brainless idiot, by the way Christians still account for the majority of residents living in Birmingham so how does is still become a no go area.
