The recent British media reports on the Rochdale sex gang describing them as ‘Asian’ are both offensive and unfair. The use of the blanket term Asian by the media to describe these criminals’ brands all Asians as potential offenders and attributes either implicitly or often explicitly this kind of behavior to Asians in general, which is both racist and offensive to a large section of the law-abiding Asian community.
Why is it that the national press can't bring itself to use the words Pakistani or Afghan sex gangs in their reporting of these cases or more to the point Muslim sex gangs! Why is it in their efforts to be politically correct they must print headlines that not only twist and hide the truth but libel all Indians and Asians in general with racial and criminal slurs of the worst kind. . The offenders in Rochdale and previous Muslim criminal gangs were acting from a religiously inspired cultural perspective that is incompatible with British society and is not shared by the Asian community. Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism and Christianity all have an older religious and cultural tradition in Asia than Islam with a moral code that is compatible with British law and values. It’s disgraceful that the media should use such racial terms to link the sexual abuse crimes committed by these Muslims with all Asians.
I speak as part of a Tamil family whose members fought bravely in the Second World War for the British and are proud of both their cultural heritage and the place they have earned in British society. The people in my community are all more than tired of the problems associated with Muslim drug gangs, Muslim sex gangs and Muslim supporters of terrorist groups. The funds raised by Muslims for Islamic terrorists are used to finance attacks on Indian as well as British innocents; in Mumbai and in London.
The Sikh community’s contribution to British culture and society has also been a loyal and honorable one. How unfair it is to associate them with the kind of behavior we've seen from Muslims? Sikhs also have a long and proud history in both the British and Indian military and as a valued part of British society. A Sikh told me today,’ the problem lies in the Muslim community and the politically correct left wing press and weak political leadership’s failure to do anything about it’.
I spoke with a Christian friend from Goa in India today as well , who told me how upset his brother was at being labeled as a ‘sex beast’ by the British media. His brother had just read a British newspaper article describing all Asians as ‘sex beasts’! Buddhists are also upset with the British media calling the British Press racist in their careless and frankly reckless use of the term ‘Asian’ in reporting these criminal cases.
It not only puts a racial spin on the story which is unjustified but demonizes the whole British Asian community. British Asians are disgusted with the racist slurs and reporting in the UK media. Why do they insist on introducing a racial element where there is none? Why do you not report on the real problems within the Muslim community and Islam? I myself have already complained to the press complaints commission and urge all British Asians to do the same in an effort to put an end to these racial slurs.
In my opinion Islam is a totalitarian political system that uses religion as a cloak and a means of controlling the masses. Nations and national boundaries mean little to the committed Islamist. This is why you in Europe are having so many problems with Islamics, you refuse to recognize this, and think you can assimilate Islamics. We too suffer from this, to a much lesser degree.
Given this, they should be identified by their “religion”, as it is really their “nationality” or political affiliation.
“This is why you in Europe are having so many problems with Islamics, you refuse to recognize this, and think you can assimilate Islamics. We too suffer from this, to a much lesser degree.”
On the contrary, David Cameron has clearly stated that ‘multiculturalism’ has failed:

I doubt I’ll ever see Obama admit as much, even though we all know it’s true.
As muslim immigration into the UK is at an all-time low since the sixties and we currently have a population that is 92% white British and 2.6% muslim, I think we are in a better position than most and have no danger of ever achieving white minority birth levels as the US just has.
We’ve been here a couple of thousand years, don’t write us off just yet! :)

Our 'Department of Justice' puts Whites and Hispanics in the same category when comparing 'our crime' to black crime. Same type of weirdness.
