+++Pakistani community must tackle grooming gangs, justice minister insists+++
+++Just days after seven Asian men were convicted of carrying out crimes of “medieval” depravity against girls as young as 11, in Oxford, Mr Green said it was time to dismiss any vestiges of political correctness around the issue.+++
+++The Oxford scandal was the fifth such case since 2010 with gangs of Pakistani men being convicted of similar grooming outrages in Rochdale, Derby, Rotherham and Shropshire.+++

+++Oxford grooming gang: We will regret ignoring Asian thugs who target white girls+++
+++Rochdale, Rotherham, Derby, Oxford. The towns change, but the pattern is always the same. Gangs of men, mainly of Pakistani Muslim heritage, lure white girls as young as 10 with gifts and displays of affection. Next, the girl is raped as a way of “breaking her in”. Once the child’s spirit is subdued, and her mind fogged with drugs, she is sold for sex to multiple men at £200 a time. If the girl tries to break away, a gang member might threaten to behead her or firebomb her home. Mohammed Karrar, who was found guilty in the Oxford sex-grooming case this week, took a scalding hairpin and branded one girl so she would know she was his property. Later, the gang gave the same girl a DIY abortion. She was 12 years old. And this, all this, is happening in Britain now.+++
+++Back in January, there was a profoundly disturbing case at Nottingham Crown Court. Adil Rashid, who had “raped” an underage girl, was spared a prison term after the judge heard that the naïve 18-year-old attended an Islamic faith school where he was taught that women are worthless. Rashid told psychologists he had no idea that having sex with a willing 13-year-old was against the law; besides, his education had taught him to believe that “women are no more worthy than a lollipop that has been dropped on the ground”.+++

That last paragraph I quoted, from the Telegraph article, gets to the heart of the issue. Muslims do this because of the attitude towards women in Islam. This was also highlighted by a Channel 4 Dispatches documentary on the subject, which interviewed a number of Muslims for their reactions. A number of them said that the young white girls (and remember we’re talking about girls as young as 10 here) shouldn’t have been wearing such revealing clothes, and so on.
Of his 17 known wives, Muhammad’s favourite, Aisha, was 6 when he married her and 9 when he had sex with her. Taking Muhammad as the perfect example of a human being, Muslim societies today still think it’s ok to marry children off to middle aged men (Muhammad was in his mid-50s when he married Aisha). This is why it won’t do as a defence to say that child marriage was common in Arabia in those days. It may well have been, but because Islam is set in stone and can’t evolve, it will never be able to be anything other than a barbaric 7th century desert cult, while the rest of us have moved on.
For this reason, it is fundamentally incompatible with modern, liberal Western societies.
