Thread Name: BS: Muslim prejudice
Subject: RE: BS: Muslim prejudice
I've said as much as I want to say on that matter already.

Meanwhile, one of the things noticeable by it's absence in all this are the clients. Pimping out these young girls a highly lucrative business for those gangs who are engaging in it, but there is a bigger problem not currently being addressed in any of the materials I've been reading, and that is the law of 'supply and demand'.

Who are the clients funding this industry? Why is pimping out schoolgirls such good business both in the UK and Europe, including places like Holland where prostitution is legal? In the UK, Emma of Crop says the clients of these gangs are predominantly married Muslim men, in Holland I have read clients include Company Directors and such-like individuals of wealth and social status.

I don't believe anything can be deduced from such a random smattering of information, but it strikes me that focusing on Pakistani culture "in which their own girls are off-limits" is a red herring, because none of these industries would function without sufficient criminally complicit consumers who want to pay good money for the particular 'product' that these gangs are supplying them with.
