Grooming Gangs: Why it is wrong to use the term ‘Asian’ instead of ‘Pakistani’

Whenever there is a mention of grooming of young children in Britain, the first thing anyone would think of, is the Rochdale Grooming gang, where two separate grooming gangs were rounded up in late 90s and then in 2000s. Of the 56 offenders convicted since 1997 for crimes relating to on-street grooming of girls aged 11 to 16, three were white, 53 were Asian of which 50 were Muslim, and most were from the British Pakistani community.
Four of the convicted had dual British and Pakistani citizenships. They were stripped of their Beitish citizenship and deported to Pakistan.
This is just one of the ghastly stories about the grooming of underaged girls at the hands of Pakistani men.
Years ago, I was talking to a friend, who had a Pakistani Dad and German Mum, but she didnt look Asian at all. She was 14 at the time. She told me that, at our mutual work place (a B&B) in London, where we were summer jobbing, she met two Pakistani British boys in their mid-teens, and they had an older man with them. The brother of one of the boys was going to the same school as her. She said they were very polite and normal, and the talk moved to music and bands. Then she heard them talk to each other in Punjabi, and the older man saying to them “Is chitti chamdi ko Ch***ne ke liye tayar karo”. She kept her best poker face and didnt give them any sign that she knew what they had said. The boys then invited her for a milkshake with ‘a bunch of other lads from the school’. Thankfully she got out of that one.
In November 2021, 50-year-old Zia Chishti — an American businessman and multi-millionaire who served as the CEO of Bermuda-based Afiniti — was made to step down after a former employee alleged that he sexually assaulted her. In a video statement, Tattiana Spottiswood shared how Chishti knew her family since her childhood, and how he groomed her in later years. Chishti is a close acquaintence, and a prominent donation giver to the political party of former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan.
In 2014, a report on the Rotherham grooming gang by Professor Alexis Jay revealed how more than 1400 children were raped, trafficked, and abused between 1997 and 2013 by men predominantly of Pakistani heritage. The report mentioned the nationality of the perpetrators
A report considering Operation Augusta was launched in 2004 in South Manchester after the death of a 15-year-old girl, who told those supposed to be caring for her of her sexual abuse at the hands of men. Victoria Agoglia died after she was injected with heroin by a Pakistani man then aged 50 in Rochdale who was later convicted and jailed. The report tells how children were raped and abused by up to 97 suspected members of a grooming gang 15 years ago in south Manchester. At least 57 children were identified as potential victims.
In 2011, UK’s former Home Secretary said that Pakistani men find white girls as easy meat.
In 2017, Labour MP Sarah Champion admitted gang grooming by Pakistani men was going on in every city and town of the UK.
“Nearly always the gangs are from the Pakistani community, we told West Yorkshire Police, Social Services, no one will do anything, friends in the Labour Party had known about it for years”
Grooming of young girls and boys is practiced inside houses and religious places by the community. Additionally, the women belonging to a faith other than their own are considered “game” for being exploited for financial and physical gratification.
Two years ago, rape survivor Dr. Ella Hill revealed that at least half a million Non-Muslim (Kaffir) girls have been raped by grooming gangs, operated by Muslim (mainly Pakistani) men in the United Kingdom, in the past 40 years. Hill informed that she was targeted as a teenager by her Pakistani Muslim boyfriend. She said that the relationship soon turned into a ‘controlling, obsessive, and religiously charged’ one. She reminisced about being taken to different flats around Rotherham, Sheffield, and Bradford and subsequently raped, tortured, and strangled. “You know (I) was covered in bruises that lasted over a year.” Her Pakistani boyfriend also threatened to kill her and her parents if she confided in them, the harrowing tale of brutality. She was raped multiple times by a number of friends and associates of her boyfriend. As such, she was coerced into silence.
According to statistics, a British Pakistani man is 70 times more likely to indulge in grooming activities. Also, there are no recorded incidents in UK or anywhere else, where a non Muslim girl has attempted to groom a Muslim girl. The attacks on these girls are a lot more than just sexual abuse. They go through unspeakable acts of violence, including severe beatings including savage acts like having the victim’s tongue nailed to the table, mental trauma, threats to kill parents, belittling, and making the victim feel insignificant.
These cases that we mentioned here, are those which have come to the fore due to the courage shown by victim women and efforts, albeit delayed at times, by the concerned authorities. It will not be far from the truth to assume that the overall situation is at least 100 times worse than this. 9.5 out of 10 times, the perpetrator is a Muslim, of Pakistani origin, and the media, in an effort not to alienate Europe’s largest ‘misrepresented’ population group, commits the harrowing crime of labelling them as ‘Asian’.
