Hindu And Sikh Organizations Also Accused Muslim Groups Of Sexually Targeting Their Communities

A day after UKs former home secretary Jack Straw blamed some Pakistani Muslim men for targeting vulnerable White girls sexually, UKs Hindu and Sikh organizations also publicly accused Muslim groups of the same offence.

Straw, in an interview to the BBC recently, had said, there is a specific problem which involves Pakistani heritage menwho target vulnerable young white girlsthey see these young women, white girls who are vulnerable, some of them in care who they think are easy meat.

Feeling emboldened by Straws statement, UKs Hindu and Sikh organizations have also come in open and accused some Pakistani men of specifically targeting Hindu and Sikh girls. This has been a serious concern for the last decade, said Hardeep Singh of Network of Sikh Organizations (NSO) while talking to TOI on Monday.

Sikhs and Hindus are annoyed that Straw had shown concern for White girls and not the Hindu and the Sikh teenage girls who have been coaxed by some Pakistani men for sex and religious conversion.

Straw does other communities a disservice by suggesting that only white girls were targets of this predatory behaviour. We raised the issue of our girls with the previous government and the police on several occasions over the last decade. This phenomenon has been there because a minority of Islamic extremists view all non believers as legitimate targets, said director NSO Inderjit Singh.

#1 Importantly, Straw is the former home secretary, as he would have never said this when in office, and will likely not hold office again. And, while it's good that the Hindu and Sikh community are jumping in as well, the bottom line is a big "so what?" to their statement of the obvious.

Only the current government could change things by ordering the police to target these Pakis, and it probably won't.

#2 I'm not so sure. The problem under Blair and Brown was that the Muslim community was/is an important Labour constituancy. Now that the Tories are in, there is no need to treat them with kid gloves.

Boxing gloves would work for me.

A whiff of grape is good too.

Moose, the problem is that you are not allowed to target Muslims, even if they are targeting a particular group (or groups) of victims. It's just part of their culture, after all.

#5 The difference is that more parents will be encouraged to say to their daughters what I felt compelled to say to my nieces in Sydney when they were in their early teens: "don't you ever go out with Muslim boys. They treat non Muslim girls as prey." The girls, well aware of the Muslim rape gangs like the Skafs at that time, just said "don't worry. We know"

"Nice girls shouldn't be out and about without their knife", what mom's everywhere should say.
