Maajid: We're In Denial That Child Sex Abuse Is A 'Sickness' In British Pakistani Muslims

British Pakistani Muslim criticizes liberal do-gooders for not acknowledging the obvious problem of child sex abuse in Britain's Pakistani Muslim communities. 

Fear of being called racist is still enabling Pakistani gangs to groom and abuse children and that rate of abuse is increasing exponentially.

What a sad commentary on British society that a British Pakistani Muslim had to be the one to point out the lunacy.

Maajid Nawaz: Child Sex Abuse Is A 'Sickness' In Our Communities

Off the back of the Rochdale sex abuse scandal, Maajid says we all need to acknowledge that there are problems within the Pakistani-Muslim community.

In a powerful speech on LBC, Maajid Nawaz says there is a sense of "denial" that the problem exists in certain communities for fear of appearing racist.

After Nazir Afzal, a prosecutor in the Rochdale child sex abuse scandal, called upon Muslim communities to stop blaming the victims of the abuse, Maajid Nawaz has confessed that there is a sense of denial about the problem in the Muslim communities. 

In a powerful speech on his LBC show, Maajid said that there is a sense of "denial" about the problem in certain communities and that the "problem is getting worse".

He said: "Over a three year period, 4066 sex crimes against girls and boys under the age of 13 were reported last year. We're not talking about consenting sex, or you know, the grey area. We're not asking 'was it date rape?'. We're talking about children under the age of 13. There can never be consent. 

"This sickness must first be acknowledged and then rooted out. It cannot be rooted out unless of course it is first acknowledged.

"The situation is being made worse by do-gooders who are attempting to brush it under the carpet for fear of appearing racist."

Maajid quotes a report by a Labour MP who states that the number of child sex abuse offences in Greater Manchester increased from 136 in 2013 to 714 in 2016. An astonishing increase in light of the Rochdale, Rotherham, Oxford, and other scandals.

Pakistani men are disproportionately involved in the grooming and child sex abuse. This needs to be acknowledged before any progress can be made to even slow down the extraordinary increase in child sex abuse.
