Firstly, to be clear, I believe the vast majority of the UK Pakistani population have nothing to do with the rape gangs and are getting about living their lives peaceably with their families.
Now to go off at a tangent . When I was a kid, in my area , the population would have been 99% white . If anyone was suspected / charged with being a nonce, the minimum said nonce could expect was their windows put through, maybe paint daubed on the property . If it was more certain, the door broken down and beaten to a pulp or if they were well barricaded in then setting fire to the property to flush them out would have been considered reasonable . I am not condoning that, just making the point that there was zero tolerance of sexual abuse of children ( at least by third parties) in that community.
So compare that with the response of the Pakistani / Muslim communities these Rape gang offenders originate from.
I have seen several call for Pakistani / Muslim leaders to speak out in support of Baroness Casey's findings and recommendations - The silence is deafening . But it always is.!
Here is the headline of an article I have posted before from the Guardian ( must be right) of an interview with Nazir Afsal - where he addresses this issue in Bradford and asks the community to take responsibility for the grooming issue. The article is 11 years old.
Did they take responsibility for? Did they speak out - Did they fuck.
Why not ? These are tight communities with strong patriarchal clans, they know who these people are, they know what is happening but they stay silent.
Whenever a gang is convicted there are some official comments of disapproval, but that's it.
Why aren't they reporting these people to the police ?
Why are they not ostracised in their community ?
Why do the Imams not speak out ?
Why does the community not take responsibility ?
This is not just an issue about a small minority of abusers, it is an issue for the communities themselves that allow this to thrive amongst them.
Of course it is neither fair nor correct to tarnish the whole community as abusers but by remaining silent they are enablers .
Maybe one reason they don't speak out is because they don't feel they have to , after all they have an army of useful idiots in the form of the progressive left to maintain denial , deflect and obfuscate on the issue and keep playing the race card on their behalf.
Rather than asking glib questions like " All of them" it might be time to ask yourself how you might challenge the Pakistani / Muslim community to really start helping themselves and community relations by identifying what they stand for and publicly ostracise these people.
They should be putting them on the plane back to Pakistan themselves.
