I didn't mention Muslims, I tend not to... However, there are areas of the world that are particularly dangerous for women due to lack of education/wrong type of education/religiously taught intolerance etc.
For sure. So more generally, it’s a male problem. Power, entitlement, gratification, opportunity etc. Brooking10 said:

Thing is I think we both know what you are getting it so probably easiest if you just come out and say it.
It makes debate much easier.

I'm not really seeing it in South America, not in Africa when I lived there. Poor parts of Russia perhaps, no? Point us to it then...
Perhaps you could open your eyes a bit. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/www.hurriyetdailynews...

To borrow a term, it's intersectional. You need just the right amount of lack of education, low intelligence, stty cultural norms and religious enablement. Just being a muslim isn't enough. Rape as a summary punishment or even just as a bonding activity with the lads isn't happening among Pakistan's educated university set, but it is happening in other parts of society and creating attitudes that we are in turn importing.
I don’t think it has anything to do with religion. Alpinestars said:

it's nothing to do with religion, AS is correct, a lot of it is cultural, women are very much second class citizens in Pakistan, especially the more rural/backward areas. A woman on her own is seen as loose/begging for it
This, together with people in the U.K. (those in the community that knew, social workers, police etc) turning a blind eye to the abuse. Hopefully not the case (or certainly not as widely the case) now. Alpinestars said:

So you think the minority Christians act this way as well and that maybe it's not reported?I'm not sure you're serious about it not being a religion based issue.
For example, they consider the prophet Mo ( who married Aisha at six and impregnated her after she started menstruating at 9) to be infallible, nigh on the all-perfect prophet and that they want to be good Muslims. What's good enough for Mo, is good enough for them.
But there again, I could be totally wrong and it's got nothing to do with the religion that's a couple of bricks short of a full load.

Married at 6 and consummated at 9. Apparently I'm not sure you're serious about it not being a religion based issue.

Which group is responsible for most sexual abuse against young children?

Then again, rape isn't even covered by their Penal Code any more - it was removed from that and moved to a separate Ordnance in the 1970s. That has stronger punishments but much higher evidential requirements, which seems to mean fewer prosecutions succeed.

No they did it because they were perverts and repressed homosexuals
I abhor anyone who is a pervert, be they Pakistani or catholic, I sometimes look at the world and want to cry
I agree with you.I abhor anyone who is a pervert, be they Pakistani or catholic, I sometimes look at the world and want to cry
Pakistani perverts aren't perverts because they're muslim, any more than RC priests/Scoutmasters/Radio 1 DJs etc are perverts because they're Christian.

However, it's hard to deny the religion gave them a shield against the authorities due to fear of isms etc...

Actually, this whole thread is about the disproportionate representation of certain demographics in highly organised. well publicised abuse gangs that tend to be from a small part of one country. They are more than sex attackers, they are taught through their perverted version of a religion that it's OK to prey on young, vulnerable girls from certain backgrounds identified by 'their' religion as viable targets. They are well organised physical abusers and traffickers that see their victims as 'nothing' to be concerned about. Their common traits and origins speak volumes about their motives and justifications.
There are problems everywhere in the world, to greater or lesser degrees, so people could start threads on those specifics. Maybe honour killings, priests, acid attacks, forced marriage, kids club stewards, sex slavery, blaming rape victims, gymnastics coaches, murdering rape victims etc, etc... But, this thread has pointed out the common origins of one set of attackers and their huge numbers and common MO's. Some of the posters are just here to deflect the focus where perhaps their own communities could actually help the victims...
