"I do believe that repressed sexuality can lead to deviant behaviour."
But you select to apply it only to Pakistanis and make no reference to it in connection with other races.
Perhaps you might explain your mantra of "repressed sexuality can lead to deviant behaviour".
Muslim society is extremely male dominated; even to the point of women being stoned to death for immorality. I can fully understand why this can lead to women breaking free, often into extreme poverty, but how does this turn young Muslim men into pimps and procurers?
You have ignored the point made earlier that the main cause of prostitution is universally recognised to be poverty and those who prey on poverty; the extent to which sexual repression plays a part in the practice is unknown and undocumented - pimping is a business, and always has been throughout history - the oldest one in the world. You, as with other racists, are using the culture bit selectively.
Prostitution is thought to be among the highest in the US - are you claiming that they are sexually repressed; on what grounds do you excuse them?
Where it does exist, prostitution among Muslims in Britain is a relatively new phenomenon - have they not always been sexually supperessed - according to you that is part of their culture.
I have not claimed anybody to be racist liars (other than your good self); I have said there are no figures to back up the claims and that some of the statements refer to local situations - already discussed, but ignored by you.
Why a middle-class Asian baron, a member of an extremely elite club; should be an expert on prostitution in depressed areas such as Bradford is a little beyond me - he probably knows about as much about those communities as any peer knows about the one I grew up in. I will admit he might know a little about criminality as he was tried and convicted for causing a fatal accident by using his mobile phone five times while driving (he was, of course freed on appeal 12 days into his sentence). Ahmed is a politician - lying seems to come with the job. Would you trust the word of a criminal and politician such as he? Of course you would if suited your argument.
I know nothing about the others you mentioned except that it is unclear if they are referring to Britain as a whole, their own specific and localised area of experience - or even Rupert Murdoch's survey on the subject.
