Call me cynical, but the people posting the most vitriolic stuff in this thread are hardly the most empathic people for the rights of women & children. This is not a thread stocked to the brim with misunderstood children's rights campaigners or feminists (real ones, not internet feminists).
The very same people directly support polices which increase the crime rate & cause suffering to these very groups. So no, this isn't a revulsion at the abuse of children, this is anger at foreigners doing it.
Simple yes or no elmarko:
Are there strong indicators from several investigations and from metrics that abuse and grooming of young girls is overly represented in men of Asian origin primarily from Muslim faiths?
This is the problem here once again with everyone polarising the issue. Helping people will not start until people accept that is an issue there that need tackling. Moreover, cries of racism and discrimination will only increase when traditional abuse until recently and in some cases (ie political perpertrators) is still being pushed to one side.
To solves these issues there needs to be strong action through a variety of means. Being to frightened to actually call it like it is because the Guardianeque crowd will instantly call foul is not helping anyone - see Rochdale. The problem with the Guardianesque crowd is that they are all for tolerance when it is not on their own doorstep. It is social nimbyism at its worst.
The problem here is authorities have had their hands tied: fear of investigations because of fame, fear of investigation because of political clout, and now fear of investigation because of the racial connotation. Well that is plain
******** - high profile 70's stars did abuse and should be locked up for life what they did, high profile politicians did abuse and should be locked up for life for what they did, and now Asian (mainly Muslim) men are abusing and should be locked up for life for what they are doing. And when a white middle-class bloke abuses (by and large the largest number if not in representation) then they too should be locked up for life.
They should be locked up for life because they have imposed a life sentence on the victims and those victims themselves will then pass that onto society and their own family in all likelihood.
Lock the sick ***** up whatever their skyfairy, skin colour or career pathway.
