Extraordinary Lox!
Those two innocuous, anodyne statements are the strongest things you can put up to justify your almost hysterical ranting against me!

I did say,"let us accept that this is a crime that the culture (not the religion) of the Pakistani community is largely responsible for."

But, the only aspect of the culture I ever referred to was the absence of courtship activities, and you chose not to deny the truth of that yesterday.
There is nothing wrong with saying that.

I also said, "Under such a regime, some young men of any ethnic group would be tempted to go and get sex from where they can."

That is a perfectly reasonable and rational link to suggest.
What is wrong with you?

Anne Cryer.
She speaks from knowledge and experience.
Anyone would need a reason to believe you over her.
She has spent years working with the Pakistani community she represents, and is respected and supported by them.
They voted for her.
She also had first hand experience with victims and their families. (Likewise Jack Straw, and the police officers.)

Community leaders?
Of course she raised the issue with Pakistani councillors and other representatives, and with influential people like local Immams.
She would have a working relationship with them and would be failing in her responsibilities not to raise such an issue with them.

What is wrong with you that you can not be rational about all this?
