Danny at 14:50, you are a retired teacher I believe. You should know all about common denominators then. A refusal to acknowledge the truth because the perpetrators were, and in this instance are, members of an ‘ethnic minority’ is the reason so many of these crimes have been ignored for so long. You need to address your priorities. Denying it does nothing to remedy it - but *** the victims, eh? Let's all be politically correct.
danny, I must be mixing you up with someone else. The point is it is important to acknowledge what is happening. As much as we don't want all Muslims tarred with the same brush, we don't want all Asians tarred with the same brush either - and neither do the Sikh, Hindu and other groups who have complained about the media's use of the term 'Asian' in relation to these gangs. This is coming predominately from one section of the community and that must be acknowledged. Anything less and we're dealing with it with one hand tied behind our backs.
It's the price of a couple of decades in which no-one in the public sector was allowed to make any adverse comments regarding certain groups, it was deemed racist and so continued. It was their 'culture' to have certain attitudes to females and we should not intervene in their 'culture'.
I once had a parent, male of course, who objected to his son being in a woman's class, he couldn't be expected to endure a woman in authority over him. The management went out of their way to accommodate his opinions, I was told off for calling them his prejudice.

It seems that you are missing some language, Naomi. Your logic seems to go something like:
We don't want to tar all people with the same brush.
We don't want to tar all men with the same brush.
We don't want to tar all Asian men with the same brush.
Let's just call them what they are - Muslims.
And therefore you tar all Muslims with the same brush. Not even Muslim men, as it happens.
If you want to call them what they are, then you need more descriptive language. You complain on the one hand that "Asian men" is too wide, but then suggest on the other hand that "Muslims" is sufficiently narrow. Clearly it isn't.

Zebo, That I believe. Within Islam women are only allowed to teach other women and children.
Ellipsis, deny it all you like but these gangs consist predominately of men from one section of the community. There is a very clear common factor involved. Ignoring that does nothing to address the problem.
