    The root cause of child abuse is child abusers!
    You want to link it to a specific religion for some reason.

    Linking to Muslims - cant have that.
    Linking to Protestants- sure fire away.
    Lining to Catholic priests - open season

    has anybody said that catholic priests abused children because they were catholic? they abused children because they were part of an organisation that allowed them to get away it and covered it up. a subtle difference I know but a difference none the less.

    they abused children because they were people who wanted to abuse children and potentially caught a career path that they knew would shield them from detection.

    but on the part that I bolded , they had to join the Catholic Church, now you just have to be non white and the government and the internet left will do the cover up for you.

    in a thread about a child grooming gang being busted you go on about a cover-up. not doing a very good job are they? whoever "they" are.

    “They” are senior members of the police forces that cover the areas where thousands of children were raped.

    And they did a good enough job of covering it up as it went on for years longer than it should have.

    Reports were ignored, victim statements were mocked and dismissed, social workers were sacked for speaking out, several brave Labour MPs lost the party whip for speaking out about the vile beasts committing these offenses and their shared cultural background of (at least 84%) Pakistan and Bangladesh nationality.

    Is there a whiff of "has anybody said swim coaches abused kids who swim?"

    Anyway, the point is criticism of Muslims seems to trigger a reaction, criticism of Protestants doesn't.

    And its the fault of all Muslims that non muslim police forces ignored reports?

    You still want to tar them all with the same brush don't you?
    What % of Pakistani and Bangladeshis abuse children?

    What? Prove a point with evidence? That's not how this thread works.

    Any evidence of the religion of any attackers? Course not, it's not mentioned outside of rare cases. Names generally not either.

    https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/courts/sentence-too-lenient-for-convicted-killer-in-brutal-gang-rape-37351546.html

    That's a white catholic Russian.


    https://www.thefreelibrary.com/Teen+gang+is+quizzed+over+rape+of+12+year+old+girl%3b+CINEMA+NIGHT...-a060627810

    Local youths in coolock. More likely to be white Catholics based on the population.

    Here's a study, read away: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.rcni.ie/wp-content/uploads/Rape-and-Justice-in-Ireland.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwj9lb-V0cztAhWCzoUKHcr8DRU4ChAWMAZ6BAgDEAE&usg=AOvVaw0B6EJT5w1y8C3F07_CfaIk

    Im asking you to provide a source to confirm the statement you boldly made, which is how it goes when in a discussion forum.
    "most gang rapes in Ireland are committed by white Catholics."

    You stated this as a fact. Not as an opinion. Nowhere in the first article states the dirtbag was a "white catholic Russian" nor was there confirmation of three lads guilty of the sexual assault.

    Please back up your statement.

    Do you expect anyone to have the percentage of Pakistanis that abuse children? It's a state where child marriage is legal so it happens quite a lot in comparison to Western countries.

    The culture doesn't fit in well if you try to transfer it straight to Western countries and that's probably the biggest issue of immigration. A lot of it is done with a view that we should be 100% tolerant of the culture immigrants come from, they've come to the UK (in this case) to make a better life for themselves but that should include leaving behind the practices that are not agreeable.

    If that person is taking UK statistics to somehow prove that child abuse is inherent to these people, then yeah, I kinda do to be honest.

    I wouldn't be in favour at all with 100% tolerance of "imported" cultural norms, you should want to move to a place because you want to live there, not just because it gets you away from where you are.

    Where this gets very complicated is when people are fleeing tyranny etc, of course they are going to worry less about the destination in favour of just "getting away".

    But I still stand behind the idea that its up to you as the immigrant to attempt to fit in. You dont need to start wearing trackies and hanging out at the bookies all day, but if your ways are at complete odds to the society you live in, then you need to rethink either your ways or where you live.

    Thats a bit bigoted


  • Registered Users Posts: 27,164 ✭✭✭✭GreeBo


    BTW someone asked recently what we get from immigration (other than nice food :rolleyes:)
    Well Ugur Sahin was a Turkish immigrant into Germany a few decades ago and he created the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine, so there ya go.

    What we get are people.

    Bit dangerous in these Covid times to allow a mask to slip like that eh ?

    Denying any issues with other cultures is ban enough but bigotry against our own country ? Not cool.

    I'd ask you what you yourself have contributed that makes you so special and worthy of citizenship, but there is little point, the children have taken over this thread also it seems.

    Oh by all means, if you think the granting of citizenship to migrants should be contingent on extraordinary contributions to society, i'm all ears...


  • Registered Users Posts: 40,462 ✭✭✭✭ohnonotgmail

    so you're in favour of giving citizenship to people born here?


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,802 ✭✭✭✭suicide_circus


    I'm the child of an Irish person, hence my citizenship. I'm also the citizen of another European country through parentage.

    If your parents enter the state shortly before being born - no

    If a reasonable period has elapsed since your parents entered the state - than yes.

    Theres a thread on it somewhere


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,822 ✭✭✭NickNickleby


    I'm going to stick my neck out here, as someone is going to disagree with me, based on the arguments that have gone on here.

    As a child I had friends who were : Indian, Pakistani, Turkish, Yugoslavian, West Indian, Jewish*, Welsh, Scots, Irish and predominately English. I lived in Birmingham.

    All these children acknowledged their own identities (which is why I mentioned Jewish - that's how they identified). For none of them - nor their families, most of whom I knew - was there any type of isolation due to ethnicity or race or colour or nationality. These things didn't matter. When Christopher once again one the sprint on sports day, no one said "ah the black kid won". Nope "Christopher won again!!" leaving the rest of us deflated as he seemed unbeatable. But despite the unsurprising outcome, parents and children would applaud the worthy winner.

    Our family left Birmingham for Dublin long before the Birmingham bombs. I remember worrying were any of my old school chums killed or hurt, we were now of an age to go to the pub. I'm pretty sure that any Irish in Birmingham that we knew would have been aghast at their neighbours children being targetted like that. But I then heard that the Irish community in Birmingham was getting a bit of a pasting for something they didn't do.

    Now move forward to this case. To me it doesn't matter who the perpetrators are, as long as they're caught and brought to justice. Their ethnicity would only matter to me, if the authorities were to 'stand back' rather than offend a community. My brief reading of this story from the original link, doesn't seem to suggest this happened.

    Remember, most people are good. And by the power of copy-and-paste :most Indian, Pakistani, Turkish, Yugoslavian, West Indian, Jewish*, Welsh, Scots, Irish and English are good people.

    Just to highlight the exception .. one summer we returned from Ireland after a summer visit to the Grannies. They naturally gave us our 'pingins' to spend in the shop when we got home. Old English and Irish pennies were identical value, and English pennies were common currency in Ireland at the time. Anyway, 8 year old me and my younger brother and sister ran round to the local newsagent next day to spend our new fortunes. When all the stuff was on the counter we handed over our pennies. Typical of his type he sneered "Ah'm not takin' that funnay monay". Despite the fact he knew our family well, and the Bank would have accepted the pennies (as I was later informed). It was the only time I encountered anything like that.

    So, lets not tar whole communities with the one brush.

    So the justification for unlimited migration is now :

    One college educated turk coming to germany
    Welfare class people wearing tracksuits
    Somebody born to natives of a country having citizenship
    The food

    We’re doing so well with these wealth of reasons.

    While there is so much deflection going on, we might as well bring the Hindus into the conversation too. :)

    So, lets not tar whole communities with the one brush.

    The authorities keep there eyes out for terrorists of all sorts including Islamic and right wing terrorists, these grooming gang all have the same modus operandi and generally from the same culture so it would not be absurd for the authorities to keep and eye in these communities for such activities, it doesn't make all Muslim terrorists and it doesn't make all muslims rapists to keep an eye out, its common sense and also common sense to not tar all communities with the one brush. Also would have made common sense to keep an ear to ground of Irish communities in England during the IRA bombings.
