This has probably a lot of chins wagging in Britain today, but it’s a problem worthy of debate elsewhere too. The Times has revealed that for well over a decade, mostly old Pakistani men in Britain have been abusing white girls as young as 11. According to the newspaper, the real shocker is not that this has been going on – unfortunately, children are abused everywhere – but that the clear ethnic profile of those predators has not been given wider prominence so far.

The problem, however, doesn’t seem to be limited to Britain. Your columnist has seen those dirty old Pakistanis in action while still living in Toronto. In a local coffee shop, where they’d gather most of the time, some of those men, aged anywhere from 50 to well over 60, would ogle school girls from the schools nearby and often make lewd and direct comments about and to them. Seeing the extent of the problem in Britain, there’s no doubt that similar things have been going on in the Pakistani community in Canada, particularly in Toronto.

Mohammed Shafiq, himself a Muslim Pakistani, is disgusted by the conduct and beliefs of his compatriots, as he writes in The Times (subscription required):

We need to establish why such men are mainly choosing to groom white teenagers and not Muslim girls. The simple answer is that these people think that white girls have fewer morals and are less valuable than our girls. They also believe that by grooming white girls there will be no reprisal within their own community. This is a form of racism that is abhorrent and totally unacceptable in a society that prides itself on equality and justice.

Indeed, this kind of thinking is often encountered, even among those who constantly profess that they want to live in harmony and peace with Westerners (infidels). They may appear nice and accommodating, but they always think that the Westerner is inferior to them and, in the case of young girls, can be used and abused with impunity. Shafiq is right to say that his own ethnic community must address the problem, and acknowledge it as such. For if it doesn’t, others – including racists – will do it for them.

Thankfully, a lot of those Pakistani predators in Britain have been put in jail over the years, and many of them will probably never see the light of day again. But that doesn’t mean that others in their community have stopped abusing children. It’s shameful, to say the least, that the powers that be have not gone after this with greater vehemence and transparency. Keeping this from the public, out of misguided concerns inspired by political correctness, the biggest cancer festering in Western civilization, is nothing short of irresponsible and reckless.

It also goes to show that, in the name of that cancer, political correctness, crimes and other anti-social behaviour are simply ignored or swept under the rug so as not to offend specific ethnic or religious groups, instead of doing what’s right: protecting the general public from criminals of all kinds. Quite often, including in Canada, official crime statistics are doctored to hide clusters of criminal activity in ethnic groups. Of course, a quick look into daily newspapers in all major cities across Canada shows that virtually 95 percent of all crime reports involve “foreign names” (e.g., Calgary’s first murder of the new year). Similarly, anyone going through life with their eyes and ears open knows what goes on around them (just as your columnist was “treated” to observing – exclusively – immigrant crimes in his former Toronto neighbourhood on a daily basis).

Not all Pakistani men, of course, are sexual deviants, but clearly, as the numbers and stats in the UK show, there seems to be a trend in that group. Keeping quiet about it will only make the situation worse. When Western countries are so adamant about opening their doors to people from around the world, it goes without saying that the good is imported together with the bad, which means crime. A lot of today’s crimes can be assigned to specific ethnic groups, such as Asian gangs or, now, sexual predators from Pakistan. Since they are often unique and specific to certain groups, any measures used to address or fight them must also be ethnic in nature, that is, we must call a spade a spade and not allow ourselves to become willing abettors and accomplices by remaining politically correct.
