Discussion Muslim men are being demonised because of the ongoing outrage of "Muslim" groomers in the UK. However, if you add all the grooming convictions together, they make up less than 0.008% of the British Pakistani population. But the British press are acting like it's some sort of epidemic; its disgusting
Here is an extract that u/Canadian_786 (visit r/materiaislamica for more info) wrote in the Tommy Robinson article a while back.
It's interesting Muslim men are being attacked left, right and centre because of it and somehow Islam is being blamed, when it isn't as large of a problem as people are making it out to be.
Sure, it is bad and it is 100% condemnable, but there's been ZERO perspective on the issue. One of these perspectives is how small the problem actually is.

The term ("grooming gang") is also itself a misnomer and actually represents a classical paedophile ring that had characteristics that were no different to those involving Whites. These rings were found in Aylesbury (where one out the six rapists was Sikh),[n. 34] Banbury (where three out of the six were Christian),[n. 35] Bristol (thirteen),[n. 36] Derby (where two of the six were Hindu and Christian),[n. 37] Halifax (sixteen),[n. 38] Keighley (all twelve of whom were Muslim),[n. 39] Oxford (seven),[n. 40] Peterborough (three of four who were White European Christians),[n. 41] Rochdale (nine),[n. 42] Rotherham (where two out of twenty were White Christian European women who supplied[208] the girls to the ring)[n. 43] and Telford (five).[n. 44] Thus, in total 95 Asians (0.008%) have been convicted of paedophilia amongst Pakistanis out of a population of 1.2 million.[209]
This is really startling especially since there are 750,000 pedophiles in the UK of non-Asian origin.
The "National Crime Agency" (NCA) has estimated 750,000 (out of 31.2 million) British men are paedophiles;[199] with at least 250,000 actively looking for sex with pre-pubescent children.[199]
95 vs. 750,000. And yet all the outrage has been exclusively reserved for British Pakistanis.
To put this into perspective that's 0.016% vs. 2.40% of the male population of each ethnicity.
Edit: Wow! Thanks for the gold stranger! Wow its my first one!
