The majority of the sexual abus was against teenage youths between eleven and fourteen and young adults between fourteen and seventeen.
This was not paedophilia, but simple homosexual abuse by male clerics.
Homosexuals are over represented in the priesthood, some studies reckon between 20 and 30%...probably due to the celicaby rule.
I blame the Church for the continuation of this rule, which encourages so many homosexuals to join the priesthood

I feel that strongly-stated racism, bigotry etc can be dangerous in that they incite others to subscribe to the same mindset. Inciting hatred for race, sexuality etc is (as I understand it) a crime here in UK. One can have private views, which as has been said here, everyone has to some extent, but one should refrain from proclaiming them. I can see how this could be seen as censorship, but we live in society, and our words/actions have consequences. A bigoted standpoint causes pain, fear and resentment, and encourages the bullies among us to join up and attack. This can't be good for the cohesion or stability of society as a whole.

The word "gay" is what Orwell referred to as "newspeak".....newspeak is a very dangerous practice, it disguises the real meaning of words.

It stops people thinking rationally.
I dont mind being called a heterosexual....that is what I am, a person who enjoys sex with women.
Why do you think your homosexual friend dislikes being referred to as such?.....I am uncomfortable referring to homosexual people I meet as "gay".....I feel it is rather patronising.

I can't see any moral justification in attempting to stigmatise those we perceive to be wrong by means of name-calling, only personal satisfaction at expressing our imagined superiority. Calmly stated and well reasoned polite argument or counter-argument without insult or accusation, on the other hand, might just stand a chance of actually changing someone's opinion. Perhaps.

Name-calling belongs in the playground, not in reasonable debate or discussion if it is to be productive. We all know bigots exist, and that some people are bigoted about some things, but there is really no need to point at them and shout 'bigot' - that's no better than calling the fat kid 'fatty'. Real bigotry is self-advertising.

I had not the knowledge to form such an opinion.

To say that Allibhai-Brown, Ahmed and Safiq are guilty of racism against their own community is laughable, and you make yourself ridiculous.
They ascribed the over-representation of their people in this crime to the marriage customs of the people.
I have no reason to doubt what they say.

Ok, back to talking about bigotry in a more general way:
What is the best response when confronted with public bigotry, and why? Is there a response that works well for most situations, or is it a case-by-case answer? Does the attempt to stigmatize the speaker accomplish anything useful? Does ignoring the bigotry? Does an attempt to make the speaker change his mind ever work?

Personally, I have tried all these approaches. I'm currently on the stigmatize side of things, but I hate to go straight there if there is a chance that someone may change their attitude. On the other hand, I've tried to have conversations about this and all of them have always broken down as soon as I scratch the surface of the rationale for the beliefs. People just get angry and insulting when asked to support their statements. I don't feel very good about myself if I ignore public bigotry. Anyone have a winning approach?

Now the title of this thread could actually be considered offense. Fattism is discrimination on the basis of weight, it is prejudice against those considered to be overweight. The Occupational Therapist (OT) who treated my mom was a hell of a big lady.

To start a thread or participate in one about Big Occupational Therapists (BIGOTS) could offence some people.

"Don I do now " believe that all male Pakistani Muslims have a culturally implanted tendency" but only because of the testimony of all those knowledgeable people, and always acknowledging that only a tiny minority succumb."
That is direct quote from you, nobody else, it is your statement it is a direct reference to the seduction of underage girls (paedophelia, and to suggest that "all male Pakistanis....." are potential paedophiles because of their culture is outrageously racist.

And these are people not in held in slavery for a mere five hundred years but thousands of years.

My own father as a CID man used to have duties staking out toilets. he used to attend lectures by experts proving that anal sex will kill anyone who takes part in it. That was the orthodoxies of the time. And a bloody sad disgraceful time it was.

You must know same sex couples who live together in loving relationships. if you don't - you should -theres enough of them about nowadays. many Christian churches have gay groups within them.

just to clarify-
a homosexual has to indicate that he has not had anal/oral sex with another man for at least 6 months or a year[not sure which]under the new rules re giving blood.
seems to indicate the dangers of the "gay" lifestyle being recognized by govt, as also akeneton contends.
such recognition hardly makes either bigotted-certainly not cameron who seems pretty PC on "gay rights"

i think true bigotry is manifest by using verbal gutrot instead of reasoned argument and though a generalization, those lacking the latter often resort to the namecalling.

It doesn't bother me personally Al, but it sure bothers lots of Christians who have always believed that marriage, procreation and family structure were bound together and between man and woman.

The problem with redefining such matters is where do you stop? Before long the institution becomes worthless.

A couple of weeks ago, I read a "rights activist" comment that the issue was not about rights, as rights could be granted through civil union.

It was about the word. About being the same as everybody else, but they are not the same as everybody else, they are a sexual minority whose behaviour carries with it massive rates of a very serious, potentially fatal disease......I do not know why this is so, but until we do know, this type of sexual behaviour should not be promoted as "safe, healthy and normal"

Just to repeat from another thread, unaids latest figures for the UK show that male homosexuals account for 71% of new hiv infections.
CDC in the US state that 1 in 5 male homosexuals carry the hiv virus.
These figures are being concealed from the general public in the UK as all demographics are being lumped together showing that hiv rates are falling...whilst in reality, the infection rates amonst male homosexuals are rising rapidly.

If these rates were transferred to any other demographic, like white girls, drug users, or asian men there would be immediate demands for a medical inquiry, but rather than cast doubt on the all powerful "liberal equality agenda" we continue to allow young men to die in their thousands.

Still, to this day, which has now been over a year and a half, there still is no defining evidence that it has anything to do with genes!...but, at least a couple of my antagonists, on here has softened their points of contention..(also due to the fact that one of them has been shredded repeatedly on the subject....to which he still holds a grudge).

I do think that one reason bigots get elected so often though is that they exploit reasonable fears that the population have, and fears that for which there are no simplistic answers, that the politicians can trot out as 'the answer'.

Case in point. Cameron today announces that he instituting a policy of 'zero tolerance' for schools that fail. Does any sane person think that Cameron cares more about this issue than teachers who have worked their entire lives in the deprived areas of our cities?

The answers why the schools are failing are many and varied and the reasons would not fit into a soundbyte. You can't help thinking perhaps he should have gone the whole hog and blamed it on the gypsies and homosexuals.

Our resident heterosexual, homosexual activist Mr John Peekstok,and to a lesser extent Jim, are both liars.
I am slightly bigotted against liars as they tend to kill reasonable discussion.
They accuse Keith A of being an "anti Pakistani bigot" and myself and Sanity of being an "anti gay bigots".....this is simply a way of trashing our arguments on the issues involved. How can any sane person be "anti gay", or "anti Pakistani"?   the contention is laughable. My stance has always been against the promotion of homosexuality in society as being a safe healthy and normal lifestyle. This promotion is being carried out not by homosexuals, but by successive "liberal" governments aided by the media and people like Mr Peekstok who would like us to believe they speak for the majority of our society. They do not, but have succeeded in bullying and intimidating many into silence.....this is the action of Fascists.
I have spent a long time on this forum constructing an argument to support my case, complete with health statistics for hiv/aids amongst male homosexuals which are horrific and worsening year by year.
The crowning idiocy of the "liberal" homosexual agenda has been revealed in the UK this week, with the announcement that male homosexuals are no longer to be banned from contributing to national blood bank......on grounds of equality!
This on top of the decision to redefine Christian marriage to accomodate the same sexual minority.

It is surely a form of madness in this society of ours.
No wonder we see it crumbling around us.

""There are certain people who are bigots and by virtue of that ....? they should not be listened to, their point of view is invalid, they should be be outed as a disgrace to humanity...""

I'd say that's a distortion of what Jim said, Al, as he was quite specific in his references to those posters.

Would you say that anybody has the right openly to slander a whole ethnic grouping, sexual orientation, or other such entity, and not be called to account for it?

Nobody is suggesting that bigots be ignored or ostracised in all areas of communication, but surely attention must be drawn to the fact that the majority of the community finds their ideas and feelings on certain subjects to be inappropriate, unacceptable and offensive to put it mildly.

And Mudcat, like it or not, is such a community.

"or the earlier 'Muslim prejudice' threads - baoth contain racism and bigotry in the extreme"

May I remind you Jim that when I and MtheGm asked you for examples, you failed to find any!

Jim Carroll,
"Describing all male Pakistanis as "culturally inclined to paedophelia" is plain and simple racism."

No-one described them thus Jim.
I repeatedly corrected you about this.
There was no suggestion of paedophilia. Minors were said to be targeted for pimping because the were easier meat.
It was suggested that this demographic was over-represented in this abuse because of tensions related to unhappy arranged cousin marriages and absence of any courtship practices.
This suggestion came not from me, but from national figures with extensive knowledge and experience, who in most cases were well known anti-racists from within that community.

So what are the implications of what you think Jim?

There are certain people who are bigots and by virtue of that ....? they should not be listened to, their point of view is invalid, they should be be outed as a disgrace to humanity...

If the situaton is as you say, what do you suggest?
