""But I defy anyone to deny that such customs as I have rubricated above are part of the conditioned expectations of some young males of the community; some among whom might jib at such demands and expectations, and express their dissatisfaction by the sort of unfortunate behaviour we are speaking of here.""

Mike, would you not agree that if the above were true, we should be seeing similar percentages arising in other groups which live with exactly the same constraints on premarital sex?

One might expect that there would be young male Hindu gangs and gangs of non Pakistani Muslims indulging in the same activities.

Doesn't the fact that this is not so give reason to doubt the "Cultural Paedophile Theory" (and it is nothing more than a theory) espoused with such relish by Keith?

Psychologists would take issue with that theory on principle, because they would see Paedophilia as an innate state, not as a lifestyle choice. "Kiddie fiddlers are born, not made", and the vast majority of men do not find children sexually attractive.

Perhaps that will convince you that I am not seeking to pardon these criminals, but to prevent the dissemination of the idea that British Pakistanis are somehow turned into abusive criminals because they are Pakistani and/or Muslim.
