Labour MPs go to war with each other over profiling Pakistani men as sexual abusers of young white girls
'I also have two sons. Blanket racialised loaded statements like these set them up to fail'
Rob Merrick Deputy Political Editor 
A Labour MP has launched a fierce attack on a colleague’s claim that most men grooming children for sexual abuse are Pakistanis, branding her “irresponsible”.
Naz Shah accused Sarah Champion – Labour’s equalities spokesperson, with responsibility for how to prevent abuse – of making “blanket, racialised, loaded statements” that would set up stigmatised Pakistani boys to fail.
Actually, ignoring the truth, ignoring the problem is more likely to set them up to fail. That, obviously, has not worked so far.
In fact, the Bradford West MP said, the vast majority of abusers are white men – including, as recent scandals have revealed, football coaches and entertainers.
Ms Champion, a shadow minister, hit the headlines when she warned people were failing to tell the truth about child abuse because they were afraid of being called racist.
It was “predominately Pakistani men” who were involved in such cases “time and time and time again”, said the MP for Rotherham – a town where a notorious grooming gang was exposed.
Ms Champion followed up her comments with a column in The Sun newspaper, under the provocative headline:
“British Pakistani men ARE raping and exploiting white girls –
and it’s time we faced up to it.”
“Britain has a problem with British Pakistani men raping and exploiting white girls. There. I said it,” she wrote.
But, in an article for The Independent, Ms Shah said: “Such an incendiary headline and article is not only irresponsible but is also setting a very dangerous precedent and must be challenged.”
She argued that nearly 90 per cent of child abusers are white men, but “we wouldn't suggest that white people ‘are raping children’ and or use the whole community to describe the actions of a few criminals.
“That would not only be horrific but simply put, it would be ridiculous,” Ms Shah continued.
Now, Ms Shah, that 90% number is literally dropping day-by-day as more and more Pakistani men are being prosecuted. There is still a reluctance, as Sarah Champion and even Amber Rudd said, to go after Pakistanis because of the racial card. You would appear to want to keep it that way.
(Although Amber Rudd's comments yesterday struck me as being completely hypocritical). (See last story on link).
But if Brits can overcome that absurdity of protecting Pakistani predators while sacrificing young, British girls on the altar of political correctness, then the numbers of Pakistanis being prosecuted will climb even higher, for, I suspect, wherever there are Pakistani enclaves, there is organized child sex abuse happening. And, it is almost entirely young, white, British girls - that's a hate crime, if ever I saw one.
Very little of the child sex abuse that white men have been responsible for occur on an industrial scale as is the case in Rotherham, Rochdale, Oxford, Newcastle and who knows how many other cities.
There are roughly a half million ethnic Pakistani men in the UK and about 20 million white men. Consequently, one would expect about 40 times as many white men accused of child sex abuse, not 9 times, and remember, many have not yet been charged.
Even ethnic Pakistanis are speaking out about the obvious problem. Perhaps you should listen to them. I know you have to be concerned about your constituents, but you ought not to be protecting the criminal elements who are abusing the Quran as justification for their right to assault and abuse little, white girls.
“I also have two sons. Blanket racialised loaded statements like these set them up to fail before they even reach their teenage years.”
The MP said she had received death threats for challenging “patriarchy and misogyny” in her Pakistani community, but added: “What I won’t accept, or tolerate, is a narrative that demonises every Pakistani man as a rapist.”
Now you are just getting absurd. No-one is doing that, not even me! But ethnic Pakistanis are heavily over-represented in child-rape category. If you can't see that and if you are not interested enough to find out why, then you are never going to make this situation better.
The answer is not to hide the truth or sweep it under the rug. The answer is to determine why the problem is and then address what to do about it. You don't even know why the problem exists because you are not willing to admit that it does.
Shall I tell you why the problem exists? Do you want to know? It is in a literal interpretation of the Quran. Here, let a Muslim scholar explain it:
Moreover, Islamic clerics routinely encourage Muslims to migrate to the West and help empower Islam anyway they can—including through propaganda, proselytization, apologetics, births, theft, etc.—and not just through violent jihad. If they do any of these, they technically become jihadis (after all and as the apologists are fond of insisting, jihad literally means "striving" on behalf of Islam.) Thus many Muslim rapists in Europe believe it is their Islamic right and reward to molest and rape infidel women.
She asked whether Ms Champion was also referring to prominent politicians from Pakistani backgrounds such as Sajid Javid, the Local Government Secretary, or London Mayor Sadiq Khan.
“By focusing entirely on one community it is taking the focus away from the fact that vulnerable young girls of all ethnicities are targeted by men,” she added.
1400 girls in Rotherham and all of them were young, white and British. The same is true for Rochdale, Oxford and Newcastle, and many other cities not yet revealed. Again, ethnic Pakistanis rape on an industrial scale compared to almost all other child rapes in Britain, orphanages excepted.
Ms Champion spoke out after 17 men from Asian backgrounds were convicted of or admitted offences in a series of trials related to child sexual exploitation in Newcastle.
The shadow minister for women and equalities also urged the Government to commission research into the crimes and said she “hadn’t slept” over criticism she could face over her comments.
Stick to it, Sarah. You are right to do so. Someone has to stand up for these voiceless girls.
The convicted men in Newcastle were mostly British-born, from Iraqi, Bangladeshi, Pakistani, Indian, Iranian and Turkish communities.
There is one thing that is common to most of those convicted in Newcastle - they are certainly, mostly Muslims.
