Are The Grooming Rape Gangs Just A Cultural Trait?
The issue of Pakistani child rape gangs is back in the news thanks to Elon Musk – my favourite African American immigrant. This issue is not only a historic problem but is still happening across the UK – and probably everywhere you find Pakistanis.
I have just made one hell of a racist statement. Of course, it is racist. Any statement that tries to address or explore a complicated issue involving race is by definition, a racist.
People are creatures of habit. When these habits are practised by a community, we call it culture – some are better than others. The Aztec practice of human sacrifice was not very progressive, but the Protestant pursuit of science was. Female Genital Mutilation is bad - sending kids to school is good. Aborting babies for convenience is abominable - treating everyone as valuable is honourable.
What makes grown men abuse vulnerable girls? Paedophilia and sexual abuse can be found in all groups and communities – no one is saying that it only happens in the Pakistani community. What we are discussing here is a particular type of sexual abuse called ‘grooming gangs’ – the coercion, control and mass rape of girls by groups of men who see such girls as worthless and share this abuse with close friends and family members.
A 2017 Quilliam Report stated that 84% of UK offenders in this particular crime were of Asian / Pakistani heritage. Is this a new phenomenon or a long-standing cultural trait?
When I was a child, we had East Pakistan and West Pakistan – two Pakistans existed. When India gained independence in 1948, it was split into two countries – Hindu majority and Muslim majority. The latter was spread over two locations and eventually led to civil war. East Pakistan became Bangladesh.
During this civil war in Bangladesh during the early 1970s, members of the Pakistani military raped between 200,000 and 400,000 Bengali women and girls in a systematic campaign of genocidal rape. Many of the victims were Hindu women - some died in captivity, and others committed suicide.
Imams and Muslim religious leaders in West Pakistan issued fatwas declaring these women ‘war booty’ and therefore permissible to rape. Leaders of Islamic parties were involved in the rape and abductions.
It is noted that the Quran discusses such topics and gives a green light to such actions. A recent example would be the mass rape of Yazidi women by ISIS fighters who justified their actions through the Quran.
In 2009, a report published by the War Crimes Fact Finding Committee of Bangladesh accused 1,597 people of war crimes, including rape. The International Crimes Tribunal has indicted, tried, and sentenced people to life imprisonment or death for their actions during the conflict.
Allow me to point out the obvious. If Pakistani men are happy to rape and abuse their fellow citizens, then would they treat foreign white girls any better? Of course not. Most of the Pakistani community in the UK live in semi-isolation from wider society. This breeds an Us & Them mentality – just what is needed to look upon others as an enemy ready to be abused.
The prophet of Islam is a problem when it comes to paedophilia and sexual abuse. Muhammad was gifted a sex slave called Mariya by the Roman governor of Alexandria. He married Aisha when she was six years old and consummated the marriage when she was nine. We all copy who we admire and respect.
We need to remember that Pakistani culture is a backwards culture, hence why their country is failing. They are stuck in a time that no longer exists in the West. The culture of modern-day Pakistanis is not much different to a thousand years ago: cousin marriage, honour killings, corruption and fraud, rape and sexual abuse, the importance of clan, and a holy allegiance to a book they have never read.
To understand a people, we must study their culture. It is their unique story of hundreds of years of existence and development. It is who they are. Change may happen but will be slow and never noticed in one lifetime.
We may be asking too much from the Pakistani community and all the other migrant communities we have allowed to move to the UK with no expectation of integrating or assimilating.
Do not forget the story of the frog and scorpion. We may try to resist who we really are, but eventually, our true selves appear.
