Returning to the grooming gangs, Mr Mohamed Shafiq, chief executive of The Ramadhan Foundation, a moderate Muslim group trying to foster better relationships with non-Muslims, said this,

"Mr Shafiq profiles the offenders as Asian men, predominantly Pakistani, who want easy sex and are prepared to pay to abuse girls as young as 13.
Of 68 recent convictions for on-street grooming, 59 were of British Pakistani men.
"They have a respectable life in the community and then they have their night life.
"Asian girls are not available to them and so they look to Western girls. They think they're easy. They see them as tarts who are there to be used."
He is appalled that the oldest defendant in the Liverpool trial was set free by police soon after one of his victims came forward.
"He was released and they just carried on," said Mr Shafiq. "They got more girls and they thought `The police can't touch us`. That's a scandal."

He also said, "This gang was the talk of the town among the taxi drivers. People were appalled because it's nothing to do with faith, nothing to do with Islam.
"For all that people like the BNP might want to stir things up, it's a fact that the vast majority of British Pakistanis find these crimes disgusting. They will be as pleased as everyone else in society to have seen these men convicted."
