Subject: RE: BS: Muslim prejudice
"Straw said that this IS a crime of BPs."
No Keith - he said some British Pakistanis commit this crime, but there is no racial inference to be taken from that fact. Perhaps you forgot to read it when you edited it.
"Rotherham, Preston, Blackburn, Rochdale "
All with high Asian populations - what's your point? Nobody apart yourself has suggested that these are exclusively Pakistani crimes
"He said: "Pakistanis, let's be clear, are not the only people who commit sexual offences, and overwhelmingly the sex offenders' wings of prisons are full of white sex offenders."
Which you edited out of your posting - why, and why are you trying to give the impression that you didn't?
"Mr Straw added: "These young men are in a western society, in any event, they act like any other young men, they're fizzing and popping with testosterone, they want some outlet for that, but Pakistani heritage girls are off-limits and they are expected to marry a Pakistani girl from Pakistan, typically," he said."
Most of which you edited out of your quote - why?
"But there is a specific problem which involves Pakistani heritage men... who target vulnerable young white girls"
Would you like to give us a run down on what those 'specific problems@ are?
"are expected to marry a Pakistani girl from Pakistan,"
As many Jewish, Catholic, Northern Protestant.... are expected to marry within their faith - what's your point?
"Because they're vulnerable they ply them with gifts, they give them drugs, and then of course they're trapped"
As happens outside the Pakistani communities, including the indigenous one - what's your point?
More later
