"The only evidence you have provided is the opinion of 5 people who also "think" that British Pakistani culture has contributed to these crimes."
No.
I also cited the conviction statistics.
And, they were not just people, but recognised, eminent authorities worthy of the term "expert witness."

When I first heard of this, I did not assume a cultural dimension.
Why would I?
That is the default position, as with monkeys behind the moon.

But you do not post long, multiple, passionate posts to defend the default position.
Only if you have good reason to believe that no alternative is possible.

You have no reasons, except a certainty that all minorities are above all criticism, except sometimes Jews.
Only Western culture may ever be criticised.
You respond like a religious fundamentalist whose core beliefs are challenged.
Not like someone just holding a default position.
