It did start with that comparison, and then went on to discuss the nature of the abuse.

Left Wing Liberal Muslim journalist Yasmin Alibhai-Brown has just commented on Ahmed's contention.
"It was time, he told the British Muslim ­community, to look more closely at the ­underlying causes of the crimes committed by such grooming gangs. Time for Muslims to do more to promote UK-based marriages.
For giving an honest, informed and ­heartfelt opinion, Lord Ahmed of ­Rotherham has been assailed, abused and ripped apart by the ­religious and cultural guardians of those ­communities in a reaction that has been utterly disgraceful.
So let me say loud and clear that the coerced marriages Lord Ahmed is talking about are inhuman. Those parents who enforce them claim they are legitimate and say they provide the only way to ensure their young remain linked to extended ­family networks and prevent them becoming 'westernised'
