Thread Name: BS: Muslim prejudice
Subject: RE: BS: Muslim prejudice
"Designating the procuring and marketing of underage girls as 'Muslim' or 'British Pakistani' or any secific racial or cultural group, predominantly or otherwise, is as racist as it was when it was used against the Irish and the West Indian communities in the past. "

"So what have we got - a mish-mash of hearsay evidence that some Pakistanis may be involved in prostitution in some parts of the North of England - no cultural connection and no documentary proof whatever to back these statements up. "

"My concern is, and remains, that accusations of a crime were being made, without proof, against a single national/religious (bit of an ambiguity there as well) community,"

"Is anybody claiming that the result you have come up with is only to be found in the Asian community? That would be racist and stupid."
