"That is a perfectly reasonable and rational link to suggest."

Just to recap,

Keith thinks that an 'alleged' "absence" of courtship in "pakistani culture" is a reasonable explanation for the existence of an orhanizde crime gang who abduct and abuse underage girls.

Well of course ... now I can see that it is me who is ranting hysterically.

Your Hypothesis Keith is so shot to pieces that that is all that is left of it.


"Of course she raised the issue with Pakistani councillors and other representatives, and with influential people like local Immams."

You are dodging the point keith - Anne Cryer argues that if "community leaders" had talked to the "community" about respecting white teenage girls (because obviously without this 'talking to', the community would never have thought of it themselves), then that could have prevented organized gangs from abducting teenagers, trafficking them and subjecting them to rape and other abuse.


Maybe some kind of research in this field would be useful, but until we actually kknow anything about the causes and effects of sexual taboo Islam style, then we are none of us qualified to assert anything that might suggest an entire culture is at risk of turning to rape and abduction unless its "leaders" step in to make sure they don't.
