Subject: RE: BS: Muslim prejudice
Jim, Straw said they did it because girls from their own community were off limits to them.
They are off limits because the culture is restrictive of them. That is a cultural explanation of the behaviour.

I thought it carried more weight coming from actual BPs and Muslims so I did not need Straw.
I did use Straw's testimony as evidence that there is an issue to be explained.
His work as an MP gave him experience of it in his constituency.
That is why I referred to him so many times, and because you keep pretending not to believe it (except when you are tired and go off message).
