""I have always stated that only a tiny minority are involved, the vast majority of good decent people feel disgraced by them.""

True, but your statement about "all male British Pakistanis" having that cultural tendency does indeed suggest that locking up the daughters might be a good idea, since any Pakistani you meet may be a part of that minority.

You cannot be unaware of the potential effect of that idea.

So Jon's comment "Diving in with conclusions which some could conceivably "translate" into "Stay clear of Paki's if you value your daughters". Is certainly not the way forward."" does indeed have considerable validity.
