"so you must accept that it might be true. So it can not be racist then."
What kind of twisted logic is that?
We have no information of any kind as to what sort of pressure the perpetrators of these crimes have experienced - and once again - why isn't every single male member of the British Pakistani population a potential paedophile - or are ALL male Pakistanis potential child molesters and if not, why not?
An the answer to my question?
Do you stand by the statement put forward by you that British Pakistani culture in any way contributes to these crimes as stated here?
"There is lots of other dreadful crime for which other groups are responsible, but let us accept that this is a crime that the culture (not the religion) of the Pakistani community is largely responsible for."

And a response to the rest of my posting - do we put them on the shelf along with all the other ignored unanswered questions.
I take it that it goes without saying that you don't withdraw your accusation that nobody has come up with a reply to your statements.
"The explanation is unknowable."
Then why have you made statements implicationg Pakistani culture as a whole if you don't know the answer to one of the most obvious contradictions to your conclusions?
"Be honest Jim. I have put up a lot."
You be honest - you have put up nothing but anecdotally reported incidents and the opinions of a number of people who have in no way qualified those opinions, and you have used those to mount an attack on the British Pakistani community as a whole.
"Why are you and Jim OBSESSED with the explanation."
Because it totally contradicts your case of this being culturally connected. If you don't know the answer you have no grounds for even suggesting that this is a "British Pakistani" problem, let alone that it in any way connected to the culture.
"My case is just the over-rep."
No it isn't; your case from the beginning is that the male Pakistani population in Britain are all potential child rapists because of their culture.
You or anybody have yet to prove the over-rep - not forgetting the "massive and the massive, massive over-rep".
If evidence is given for such next week it will have been gathered responsibly and does not come as part of a not-very-well-hidden agenda.
And now - your answer please - to believe or not to believe?
