The story that recently came out of Rotherham England<\/a> is extremely upsetting. The U.K. Telegraph<\/a> posted a story on Sunday about the sexual abuse<\/a> of at least 1,400 children over 16 years. The fact that this continued over a sixteen-year period is horrendous. These children can never buy back their innocence. They will probably never fully recover from the damage that was done when the abuse continued for sixteen years without being addressed. The really scary fact here is that the authorities were hesitant to pursue reports of the abuse because they did not want to be called racists. That is truly sad. People in charge were afraid to stand up for justice because it might not be politically correct.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

The Rotherham scandal and a series of cases in towns including Rochdale<\/a> highlighted how evidence of Pakistani men targeting white girls for abuse was repeatedly played down for fear of accusations of racism.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr Danczuk (Simon Danczuk<\/a>, who helped expose a pattern of grooming of white teenage girls by men from a Pakistani background in Rochdale, where he is the Labour MP<\/a>) said the elements of Pakistani political culture itself were partly to blame for the cover-up.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThere are cultural issues around the way politics are done in the Asian community which have to change,\u201d he said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He said he had personally come under pressure from Asian councillors and members of the community for speaking out as well as being warned by prominent figures in his party.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He pointed to the way in which two Muslim<\/a> councillors in Rochdale had provided character references for one of the perpetrators of the Rochdale abuse.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cPolitics<\/a> are done differently in Pakistan<\/a>, it is a cultural difference we have imported some of that into some of these northern towns and cities and I think we have to face up to the fact that we can\u2019t carry on doing politics like that.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is not healthy and the direct consequence is that we end up having to tackle issues like has been faced in Rotherham.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

He described it as \u201ca looking after your own\u201d within the Asian community which other politicians had accepted.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the danger in allowing an immigrant population to settle in a country and not assimilate. We have the same problem in America. I am not opposed to legal immigration, but when you bring in a population and do not teach them how America (or Britain) works, you may find that population doing things that are considered illegal here.<\/p>\n

The role of women in Britain and America is very different from the role of women in Muslim countries<\/a>. We need to make sure that young girls and women who live in America and Britain are treated with the respect the law grants them. In Muslim countries, under Sharia Law<\/a>, women have no legal standing. Rape is not rape unless a woman has male witnesses to confirm that it was a rape. A women can be jailed or killed for being raped in a Muslim country. We do not need those laws or that attitude here. Immigrants should be welcomed, but they should also be required to understand that all citizens have rights in America and Britain–not just male citizens.<\/p>\n
