    See, this is kind of my question about this thread.

    What does Islam have to do with that? It's not like Ireland is historically divorced from child abuse.

    We're just picking out any activities we don't like perpetrated by people from the middle east and lumping them in a thread.

    Does no-one else seriously see this?

    Ah i know that, there will be no shortage of muslims doing it either as the population grows. There are lessons to be learned from whats happening across the water.

    But of course most of the sheep believe we will be immume to that.

    Yes but the irish ones doing it are our problem
    Why do we need to import more problems.


    It's like the french, when they started getting problems with immigrants and a lot of them creating ghettos, no go areas for the indigenous french people and increasing crime, the government marketed them as "une chance pour la france". Except they were not "une chance", and france has one of the worst problematic societies as large chunks of the population have not integrated and actively dislike france.

    Oh absolutely don't import more if they're scumbuckets. This POS seems to be illegal too going by his own admissions so fcuk him. He's a pure dog but I don't think it's massively relevant to Islam or anything.

    In other news here in Cork, some parents request not to have a male teacher teach their girl ( in primary school) was accomdated by moving the teacher to another class.

    Yes.

    When your "faith" was started by a paedophile, and over 80% of grooming gang members in the UK are from less than 2% of a population (all sharing same nonce led belief system) then yes, yes, a thousand times yes.

    If true, the teacher should have refused to move and the shame on the principal for giving in to this parents demand. Already a shortage of male primary teachers as it is.

    The link I posted says this exactly;

    However, they discovered that 222 of those convicted, or 84 per cent, were men of Asian origin. Only 22 were black and 18 were white with two offenders not having an identified ethnicity. The findings are in stark contrast to the fact Asians make up only seven per cent of the UK population, the report said.

    You might as well stop asking the defenders of islam\multiculturalism what the benefits could be from bringing in a few 100.000 more of them. There are none.

    Dutch minister of Integration and Housing Vogelaar (member of the pro islam\immigrant party PVDA) a few years ago was asked the same question and she stuttered something about "dresses worn over jeans" and "food" and that was it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,555 ✭✭✭Roger Hassenforder

    If true, the teacher should have refused to move and the shame on the principal for giving in to this parents demand. Already a shortage of male primary teachers as it is.

    No link, it's not in the news.

    Teacher is a new teacher (not permanent) to the school, hardly in a position to kick off.
    You're right, shame on the principal.

    Fine. Have it your way.

    Your link only relates to 'grooming gangs'. Snake Pllisken said 'all child grooming cases'.

    So he's stateing that of the child grooming cases in the UK, 84% were carried out by British Asians which is simply not not true. It's not. Read the actual article please.

    The truth is that 84% of the people who groomed children with others were British Asian - which is totally messed up. No denying. But we're talking pedophilia here, they're all messed up.

    Surely the question should be 'are British Asians more likely to abuse children?'

    The same article you just quoted to me says that a 2012 report from the The National Crime Agency’s Child Exploitation and Online Protection Command (CEOP) found that 85% of child sex abusers were white. WHITE!!!

    In 2011, the Last British census, 86% of the population were white. So instances of child abuse are fairly evenly spread and that's before you get to questions of under-reporting in particular communities.

    It also says that 100% of the people convicted of pedophile rings were white, as I mentioned earlier.

    If I was being really nitpicky, I'd say you also said 2% in your original statement but Muslims make up about 5%.

    My question for you again is where does Islam fit into this? I've just explained how a white British person is just as likely to abuse a child as a British Asian. There's no mention of religion.

    Yes, Asian immigrants from Pakistan and Bangladesh generally tend to follow Scientology and the Seventh Day Aventists.

    However, researchers said their data’s sample size had been too small and more research needed to be conducted.

    To be honest. I've stated my case.

    If you want to get into a tit for tat, I'm sure someone else will oblige.

    Having spent a morning in here wasting my time (well hopefully not, maybe someone will actually approach things with an open mind), I think I can see what this thread is. That is basically a echo-chamber/dumping ground for any negative story that involves someone who looks like a muslim.

    When you delve into the specifics, you find that the facts are mis-represented and loose anti-Islamic sentiment is liberally thrown around. So very quickly we have postings claiming that about 6/7 of child grooming in the UK is done by Muslims.

    This is patently untrue. It's a distortion of a fact that British-Pakistani communities seemingly have a disturbing problem where their child groomers hunt in packs. It says nothing about people who do it alone, and says nothing about other forms of child abuse. I believe that you read that headline and literally thought that '84% of child abusers in the UK are Muslim', which is such a dangerous thing to throw around.

    The truth, which has been mentioned, is that 85% of child abuse cases in the UK were perpetrated by white people.

    Anyway, as mentioned, we're talking pedophiles here so while British-Pakistani grooming gangs would represent an obvious demographic or cultural problem, which is is important to address. Pedophiles. You pounce, and extrapolate it to be about all Muslims. That's 25% of the world. Are indigenous Indonesians, Malaysians and the 30 or 40 million Chinese Muslim population all more likely to be sex abusers too?

    I don't think so. Similarly, if I convert to Islam, am I suddenly more likely to engage in child abuse?

    There's very suspect rationale displayed in this thread, which I suspect is about skin-colour and country of origin rather than religion(as I seem to be the only one questioning the religion bit).

    I'm would argue that if Catholicism did not exist in Ireland, I could state just as strong a case(as I have read in here to date) on how it is not 'right' for our liberal democratic values. You should think about that in detail rather than just grabbing and quoting anti-Islamic/middle-east headlines.

    Why is it inherent on Islam to bring benefits. Can the people not be beneficial?

    If you hear of an Italian coming to the country, do you think 'great, a Catholic because .....'

    What about Hindus? Are they OK?
