""Now I don't have any of the figures necessary to say whether the OP's assertion is correct in saying this is more common with Muslim prepetrators than any other group, but it seems a perfectly reasonable thing to analyse the court records and see if there is any statistical significance to the claim and if so to act upon it.""

Quite right DMcG, and the fact that is being ignored is that disaffected girls have been groomed by opportunist males and put to work as sexual slaves since long before the first Pakistani immigrant set foot on British soil.

Also ignored is the fact that the vast majority of new young prostitutes are either groomed British girls or Eastern European imports run by Eastern European men.

Those exploiters' religious orientation is unknown, but it seems likely that they either ignore, or pay lip service only, toward any moral or religious creed.

True, there are now gangs of exploiters who are variously described as Muslim, Pakistani, or both, and certain parties delight in being offered the chance to denigrate those they hate, but the fact is that they are just the ones who happen to be in the news at the moment, not because of their crimes, but because of their origins.

Far from being allowed to get away with it for racial reasons, their activities hit the headlines while East European and British abusers don't even reach local news.

What does that say about this nation?
