Ollaimh, you know nothing about us, yet you hate us with a vengeance.
Had you used my links, or Googled Ahmed yourself, you would know that he is no blue blood aristo!

He is a BP and the son of an immigrant.
He is a lifelong socialist who has worked tirelessly for the poorest of that community.
The Labour party put him in the Lords to continue his work there.
No better witness. Why do you dismiss and discredit such a man?

Don, I made no ad hominem attack, just a generalised insult to people unable to distinguish culture and race.

Unlike other "istans" Pakistan is not named for any single tribal group.
It has been a separate country only since the partition.
Pakistanis in Britain form a well defined and distinct cultural group.
First cousin marriage for instance is part of their culture but not based in Islam or any racial characteristic.

Don, when you flounced out you threw a groundless slur on many contributors.

It is estimated that at least 55% of British Pakistanis are married to first cousins and the tradition is also common among some other South Asian communities and in some Middle Eastern countries.

British Pakistanis are 13 times more likely to have children with genetic disorders than the general population - they account for just over 3% of all births but have just under a third of all British children with such illnesses.

Indeed, Birmingham Primary Care Trust estimates that one in ten of all children born to first cousins in the city either dies in infancy or goes on to develop serious disability as a result of a recessive genetic disorder.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/newsnight/4442010.stm

Their culture predisposes BP children to genetic disease.
Is it racist to say that?

The genetic risk from first-cousin unions depends on repetition of the practice down generations. There is a similar level of genetic risk resulting from the practice of western women having their babies older and older. If you have a baby at 40 you're taking approximately the same risk as you would be in a one-off first-cousin union. You're taking risks for your baby if you drink, smoke or abuse substances, or if you're obese or otherwise malnourished. I'm interested to know why this particular issue has been homed in on here. No, let me guess....

Any waY i used to follow this band around called Brownsville Banned. When you think of all the bands in EnglaND - THEY HAD A PRETTY SMALL FOLLOWING.

Years later I found out that both sisters had married two of the guys in the band. We had been in the same room and not known.

we live in an upside down world that would have shocked george orwell. criticizing an empire thst pushed drugs in china, muddered innoncent native children profited from the slave trade for three centuries before they got religion, and murders its own citizens on bloody sunday is now hate.

well keith you are so delusional ans ignorant that hate is probably the only real idea you can master.

the american continue on with military cap[iitalism, frrely killing civilians in iraq. see the wikkileaks video of good ole american boys gunning down a cameraman and a van full of children try to help the wounded, while laughing at them.

to get people to commit atrocities you have to get them to self dehumanize. that's done with the ideology of empres and the perversions of re;igion called the anglicam church(among others). people don't easily kill. in the first world war they found the recruits would only fire their gins about seven per cent of the time, so you have to motivate them with perverted religion and ideology, and they still do it.

for the purveyors of this perverted religion to be criticizing muslums is the height of hypocracy but we live in a wicked age when the liars cheats and killers are aok if they can find some spin.

the fact remain that muslims have no worse record that the british empire. many times they have no better a record but islam isn't to blame for the abuses in the world today. military capitalism shoulders most of the blame.

and its the height of shameless hypocracy for the house of lords or any british institution to be pointing fingers untill they clean their own house. the way thats done is by confessing the pasr rather than pertending it didn't happen or to pretend that evil done was somehow justified. thats what truth and reconcilliation commissions are about--i\d love to see one for the british and american empires but that willhave to wait untill the chinese rule the world.

as to the two types of deities. many religions recognize the jealous gods as a lesser form of deity. they have devas and ashuras, also called ahuras, titans and jealous gods. the ideology of the old testiment is that of self confessed jealous gods. gods of war and power. well thats what most of the followers have been up to and maybe christians should consider that. muslums as well.

finally the reason the bhopal disaster victums got so little and the bp got so much (or will get so much)is that the bp abuses were subjrect to american litigation which has a high value on compensation to even the werakest and pooreest .while the indian system puts very low compensation on the harm done to the lower classes. so does any body know where the indian government got their legal system? the one that puts almost no value on lower calss suffering and death. guess???

now the difference is when it is the stated aim of governmet policy and established church. which the british imperial abuse is. that is general responsibility of the people in question and that does requre some fessin up before forgiveness can be given. instead keith and others are pointing fingers again at others in hopes their own evils will be missed.

Keith, pay attention.

The reason that we know that procreation between cousins creates a higher risk of birth defects is that volume upon volume of medical research has been done on the subject.

There is no research anywhere that deals with any alleged link between British Pakistani or Moslem culture and the crimes of British Pakistani pimps.

Keiths generalized cultural behavioural profile of British Pakistani men is not based on any research, but purely on his amateur anthropological musings.

If my stats are wrong I am sorry, but they came from an authoritative site. I will be surprised if you find different.

You gave us your clear definition of what constitutes a racist theory.
I just applied it to a few situations.

And Lox, we need no experts to tell us that a sexually deprived male may be predisposed to this kind of offence, albeit just the weak and wicked.
Extrapolate that to a whole tightly knit community of overlapping extended families, and you have a reasonable explanation for the known fact that they are massively over represented in this crime.

All this is a lot more complex than most of think. I agree totally with Keith, I simply don't understand the case of defence put up by Steve.

In Saudi Arabia and other countries where the genders are rigorously separated, many men have their first sexual experiences with other men, which affects their attitudes toward sex in marriage. Many men who had anal sex with men before marriage want the same thing with their wives, because they don't know anything else. This is one reason they need sex education in their schools.


Pashtun men commonly have sex with other men, admire other men physically, have sexual relationships with boys and shun women both socially and sexually — yet they completely reject the label of "homosexual."

Pashtun men interpret the Islamic prohibition on homosexuality to mean they cannot "love" another man — but that doesn't mean they can't use men for "sexual gratification."

Lara Logan is prominent in a report in this morning's papers. This from The Times ~~

TV REPORTER [Lara Logan] WAS SEXUALLY ASSAULTED AND BEATEN BY MOB OF 200 IN TAHRIR SQUARE

An 'analysis' insert by James Hider reads:~

The frenzy of the sexual assault on CBS correspondent Lara Logan shocked many people, but a woman being sexually harassed was not surprising. Egypt has a terrible reputation for men molesting women, especially foreigners, who are seen by many of the poorer-educated men as having looser morals. Few women visit Egypt without encountering some abuse. While many brush it off, there is a sinister aspect.

The results of a 2008 survey by the Egyptian Centre for Women's Rights found that 83% of Egyptian women have suffered some form of sexual abuse ~ and that rises to a staggering 98% among foreign women.

Part of the problem is a culture of impunity, with inadequate laws and a corrupt and incompetent police force. Women are often led to believe they are to blame for any sex abuse and discouraged from reporting abuse.

60% of men in the 2008 survey admitted harassment, and they are often shocked when Western women they have groped turn on them, shouting or kicking them.



Further comment would be superfluous.

OK, so western women was a somewhat loose expression (the expression, not the women) which was intended to mean women in the US, UK, Europe... I could have said it better, but had I been arguing against me I doubt that I would have been arsed to up the ante over it. Women in the west are not a race, neither do they all share the same culture, so it's hard to know what else I could refer to them as. The point is that the trend for, er, these groups to have children later in life has increased, slightly, the risk of birth defects. For all I know that could be sperm, eggs or both contributing to that. I have no axe to grind. The statistic I quoted was that the slightly-increased risk of a birth defect arising from a birth to a 40-year-old is approximately the same as that from a one-off first-cousin union. Now that's the third time I've typed "one-off," and I did indicate that the risk increases in cases where serial first-cousin marriages occur. I did also point out the other, equally-important, elective risk factors. Saying all this is not in any way meant to be tendentious. I'm just saying it. Though, I repeat, I do wonder why it's come up in this context.

If you ever took the trouble to do your homework you would be aware that it is not being a North West African which gives them this extra ability, but being born and living at high altitude.

Don T: "And for those of us whose first language is English........??"


Huh?...Somehow that connection got by me....but, as pointed out by my previous post, of which you're commenting on, your response makes sense to me, in the fact that it makes no sense, (or disconnected sense from disconnected thought patterns) from you!....

We've gotten to expect these sort of things from you!


...Unless it was a joke?..quip?....ummm..I give up....

Don, you obviously do not read MY posts!
I have said repeatedly that it is not the race, or the religion, but the culture of BPs that I believe has led so many of them into this crime.
It is utterly groundless to say I do not distinguish race and culture, which would be moronic, wouldn't it? (and not ad hominem!!)
I have not made mistakes like that about anyone's posts.

If YOU read posts how could you say this about contributors here??
"There are NO alternatives for them. Muslims are all evil, oppressive, chauvinist, paedophile rapists, made so by their cultural upbringing."
Totally and utterly groundless Don, and offensive to decent people.

You might be right that adaptation to altitude is a factor in NW Africans' predisposition to marathon running (though you might expect more Swiss marathon runners.)

My point was that it is OK for you or anyone to theorise about it.

The theory I have described is that the over representation may be caused by a culture that denies men any intimate relationships before a late marriage.

Not unreasonable.
Of all the alternative explanations that you and Lox have put forward, which would you say is the most reasonable Don??

Having said all that, I am very glad that you saw off that heart attack, and wish you a full recovery.
keith.

""Of all the alternative explanations that you and Lox have put forward, which would you say is the most reasonable Don??""

You've tried that route too often. You said yourself that you don't bother reading our posts.

Read the bloody posts, then you might know the answer to the above question.

1. At least half a dozen others have pointed out that Paedophilia, Rape and Trafficking are not intrinsically religious crimes, but committed by criminals of every class and culture.

2. The circumstance you describe regarding Muslim restrictions on sex might lead to promiscuous sex outside their own community, but, with the number of willing and promiscuous young women available in almost every town in Britain, why would that lead to the crimes under discussion? The easiest and safest course would be to avail themselves of those girls and avoid the risk of jail.

3. The obvious conclusion is that they are first predisposed to these crimes, and only incidentally British Muslim Pakistanis. It happens that a number of cases have appeared in an area where there is an anomalously high population of Pakistanis, and it is no surprise that the gangs are composed primarily of such, given that most of the surrounding white population share your view of immigrant minorities.

Don T.

P.S. Keith will only read the first four lines or so, bless him. It's all his attention span can manage.

P.P.S. Akenaton, you have added nothing of value in the last three hundred posts. Why not just STFU and leave it to those who have.

Their Culture is an integral part of their Religion and of their Race. Explain to me how you remove the precepts of Islam and the Pakistani Heritage, and are left with a separate entity identifiable as "Culture".

And I do wish you would show them the respect of dropping that dehumanising BPs tag.

Don, I would just like to know which of the alternative suggestions YOU find most convincing.
No amount of my reading will answer that.

Your point 1.
No one could possibly disagree with that.
What is the point of that point?

Your point 2.
"The easiest and safest course would be to avail themselves of those girls and avoid the risk of jail."

The expert witnesses did address that.
It appears, despite your low opinion, that most girls are hoping for some kind of relationship, and only the young and naive do not realise that these men are all promised in marriage.

Your point 3.
Even in these areas, BPs are not the majority.
But these areas are the hot spots and BPs are overwhelmingly responsible.

Your best explanation?

The BP culture is quite different to other British Moslem cultural groups, e.g. Somali, Turkish, Arab, etc.

Keith,


Its time you defined British Pakistani culture.


Your hypothesis is based on yor implied claim that you have a comprehensive understanding of it.


If you don't claim to understand it then it is more logical bullshit to claim that you can hold it responsible for anything.


Then once you have accurately defined it in a way that stands scrutiny, you can clarify exactly which common feature of British Pakistani culture makes them more likely to enslave and rape underage girls than other cultures.

I read in the Metro this morning that the ringleader of another group who groom underage teenagers for sexual abuse and rape was arrested in Devon.

Was he British Pakistani? ...

... guess ...

(the answer doesn't rhyme with guess)


So the most recent reports on this subject so far have been about a romanian gang - and now a white british paedophile ring.
