Is anybody here seriously suggesting that the techniques described in the Muslim trials are NOT used by Eastern European sex traffickers or by our indigenous sex-for-sale industry?
These cases are recent and they are occurring in communities which are traditionally recognised as being law abiding, industrious and unintrusive to the point of being accused to being "secretive" - all of which makes them "newsworthy".
Similar crimes in other communities are not highlighted because they are ongoing - the are reported in the local papers as local news, (and such crimes certainly are challenged as being "Exclusively Muslim" in left wing publications regularly) but they are part and parcel of the British sex scene in general.
While the national press does concentrate on Muslim crimes I can't recall any responsible newspaper (left or right) attempting to claim that these crimes happen nowhere else - can anybody else?
Keith and his ilk rush to quote "experts" (in some cases, having doctored reports) but they always ignore the fact that Jack Straw, judges, police and other involved warned that "it would be wrong and to draw any racial or cultural conclusions from these events".
Jack Straw actually described some of the criminals as being no different from any other testosterone-driven" young men from any racial or cultural group - a statement that Keith saw fit to omit from his cut-'n-paste.
