Thread Name: BS: Muslim prejudice
Subject: RE: BS: Muslim prejudice
Repeated storming in and storming out is just as irrational as your earlier ranting anger.
Why can we not have a normal discussion?
Don, you are very angry, without even familiarising with the issue.
It is not a single gang in a single case.
But in 17 court cases since 1997 where groups of men were prosecuted for grooming 11 to 16 year old girls on the street, 53 of the 56 people found guilty were Asian, 50 of them Muslim, while just three were white.

For a minority group that is a massive over representation that is not seen in other crimes.
The question why has to be asked.
Not by us of course, but I did not start it.

Respected, intelligent people with intimate knowledge of the culture have put forward plausible explanations.
Why does that make you angry?
It is irrational.

However plausible, no explanation is provable.
One consequence of the culture of cousin marriage is a large over representation of Pakistanis in infant mortality and crippling genetic disease.
The link here IS provable but that debate has also been rejected as racist by many in the community.
Is that rational?

I will not storm out, but I will not put up any more evidence.
I am prepared to discuss rationally, or leave it there.
Over to you.
