"I put it up to pre-empt anyone else doing it."
You are a lying prick Keith
Who,    of those debating, would
You were on your own and most of those opposing you were referring to you as a racist
our references to scriptures that are largely disregarded by British Muslims only underlines you racism
And more lies
Post or link one single statement by either Ahmed or Straw that suggested that All Male Pakistani's were "culturally implanted" to rape children and the only reason they didn't was that they resisted the implant
That is exactly what you said - nothing made up by me - that is what you told don yo believed "Don - I now do believe....."

Thank you Keith. Saved me looking anything up. You say I posted

The question of why there is an over-representation is the one that can be subject to racist conjecture.

The suggestion is, I guess, that simply by quoting the figures, it displays a racial motive? I don't accept that premise in all cases I am afraid. While I would suspect that certain right wing politicians, who shall remain nameless here, do have that hidden agenda, why should I suspect that Lord Ahmed or Jack Straw are acting in the same way?

This perfectly underlines what I just said. While there appears to be an over-rperesentation we will always disagree about the reasons. You go for the cultural implant one while I continue to quest for all possible reasons.

Dave, you had already accepted the over-representation based on the statistics. Nothing to do with Straw or Ahmed.

In that post you were referring to the explanation, and said that Lord Ahmed Jack Straw were credible on that.
They gave a cultural explanation.

Jim, culture is implanted and I quoted them and others saying that the explanation was cultural.

I think the point is that British Pakistanis, and I only use the term to be consistent with the thread, are over-represented in these cases. I have no doubt as to the veracity of Keiths figures. Lox has even agreed that it is an over-representation.

There you have accepted the over representation based on the figures.

You then quote someone else's post,
Subject: RE: BS: Muslim prejudice
From: Lox - PM
Date: 02 Feb 11 - 02:59 PM

"BP" as you call them, are only overrepresented in these cases.

They are not overrepresented in sex crimes in general.

Having dealt with that you move on to the "motive" behind the over representation,

"The question of why there is an over-representation is the one that can be subject to racist conjecture.

The suggestion is, I guess, that simply by quoting the figures, it displays a racial motive? I don't accept that premise in all cases I am afraid.

Ahmed and Straw proposed a cultural explanation, and as you said not a "racial motive."
You clearly endorse their view.

Your final sentence, which again makes clear that you are discussion the explanation for the over representation, and not just the over representation itself,

I did, incidentaly, put up what I felt were reasonable reasons for such an over-representation earlier but only Keith chose to respond. And then to only agree that he, like myself, did not have an answer!

Of course not, because it is just another disgusting Jim lie.

In the thread are the original quotes of Straw, Cryer, Ahmed, Safiq and Alibhai Brown all saying it is cultural.
There have been other quotes since.

I have repeated them often enough. Just search the thread for those names if you want to read them again.

They say the child rapes in question were down to culture, and culture is implanted.

I have always said that the figures show an over representation. I have also always said that there are many plausible reasons for this and I do not know what the right one is. Unlike you, who have always insisted that it must be culture based because that is what some politicians told you.

Is it the fact that their mythical ideology has been rumbled all over the developed West and the years they invested in promoting the idiocy of "liberalism" have turned out to be lives wasted?

Is it just that they have nowhere left to go and have decided to destroy debate as one final spiteful performance?

Timeline: Labour's anti-Semitism crisis

February 16 2016

Oxford University Labour Club co-chair resigns after claiming that its members have "some kind of problem with Jews" and sympathise with terrorist groups like Hamas.

March 6

Two former shadow Cabinet ministers, Michael Dugher MP and Rachel Reeves MP, accuse Jeremy Corbyn of trying to "bury" the Party's problem with anti-Semitism after refusing to publish an investigation into harassment of Jewish students at Oxford University.

March 15

Vicki Kirby, the vice chair of the Labour's Woking branch is suspended after tweeting that Jews have "big noses" and "slaughter the oppressed". MPs attacked the Party leadership after they initially refused to suspend her.

March 16

Jeremy Newmark, national chair of the Jewish Labour Movement, says Jeremy Corbyn is "impotent" in his failure to tackle a resurgence of anti-Semitic views

March 20

Labour peer Lord Levy threatens to leave his party unless Jeremy Corbyn publicly rejects antisemitic comments made by party members.

March 25

Labour Chancellor John McDonnell says he wants to take a "harder line" against anti-Semitism, adding that anyone making anti-Semitic remarks should be thrown out of the party

April 2

President of the Board of Deputies of British Jews warns that Jeremy Corbyn is "failing to lead" Labour away from a damaging trend of anti-Semitism

April 10

Labour councillor Aysegul Gurbuz is suspended over a series of anti-Semitic tweets in which she praised Hitler as the "greatest man in history" and said she hoped Iran would use a "nuclear weapon" to "wipe Israel off the map".

April 27

Labour MP Naz Shah is suspended after backing calls for Israel to "relocate" to America. She had resigned as an aide to the Party's shadow chancellor the previous day, but Jeremy Corbyn was criticised by MPs for initially declining to suspend her from the party whip.

April 28

Ken Livingstone becomes embroiled in the row. In a BBC interview he defends Naz Shah, saying, "I've never heard anybody say anything anti-Semitic, but there's been a very well-orchestrated campaign by the Israel lobby to smear anybody who criticises Israeli policy as anti-Semitic."

The resulting outcry leads to his suspension from the Labour party.

May 4

Britain's Chief Rabbi enters the row for the first time to call on Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn to take "decisive action". Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis criticised the "poisonous invective" and "politics of distortion" from party members such as Ken Livingstone, and in an article for the Telegraph warns that "there must be no place for anti-Semitism in our politics".

David, in case you didn't notice the topic of this thread is UK Labour Party Discussion. If you would like to discuss anti-Semitism in the French elections I suggest you start a thread on that. Anti-Semitism and hate crimes directed against Jews are a growing problem in the world, in fact Jews are targeted more than all other religious groups combined in most of the western world today. In the UK alone hate crimes against Jewish people are at record levels having risen by more than a third from previous years.

Bobad,

You state that Jews are targeted more than all other religious groups in the world today.

You may be correct in this assertion but you offer no evidence.

It could be that people of the Jewish faith are more inclined to raise issues of hate crime, it could be that people of other faiths are less inclined to raise the matter.

Unless you can offer PROOF of that hate crime, your assertion does not carry any credence.

Yes that assertion by bobad does stretch credulity, there is far, far too much religiously motivated hate crime in the world, against people of a variety of religions, but I would have thought that such crimes in South Asia rather outweighed those in the Middle East, if only because of the very large populations there.

But as far as anti-semitism goes, the parallel between the UK and France is of course that anti-semitism, like islamphobia, is largely the preserve of the political right.

Raggy, Shaw, if you do not believe the statement then produce figures that counter what has been said. You have come out with the same in the past when I had stated something similar with regard to hate crimes in the USA. I gave you the source - FBI statistics - For some obscure reason, or other, these were still not good enough for you.
