The elephant in the living room( or the dog that did not bark to quote Sherlock Holmes) in the British press reportage of the "Asian" sex gang of Pakistani/Afghan men that bought and sold teenaged white girls like cattle is the omission of their religious affiliation- namely Muslim- to my mind. It may be argued that their formal faith is a "red herring" as most Muslims are as appalled by their depraved behaviour as are their Christian, Hindu, Jewish or agnostic/atheistical countrymen but they cannot have it both ways. When Catholic clergy or religous(of either sex) are accused, charged or convicted of sexual abuse of minor children, the press(or certain commentators mainly liberal/leftist/agnostic) rarely hesitate to make the point that they ARE Catholic clergy or religious, but when Muslim men feel free to enslave "kuffar"( infidel or unbeliever) girls for sexual purposes in a way that would be unthinkable for the females of their own faith, the press engages in the sort of mealy mouthed hairsplitting that I have heard all too often from leaders of my own Church(Catholic if anybody wants to know) as well as from "Asian community leaders"( "or old men with beards and nothing going on upstairs" as critics aptly dub them) who spend more time dcrying "Islamophobia"( a boo word used to silence criticisms of jihadism just as much as "reactionary red-baiting" "McCarthyism" was sued to squelch Western criticism of Soviet human rights violations esp during the Cold War).
Anybody think as I do?
