This Theodore Dalrymple article covers Pakistani-“British” families’ reluctance to educate girls; forced marriages, beatings, handicapped children born in cousin-marriages, and so much more. It does mention the existance of a “unit of the local police” (this would be Birmingham I think) dedicated to rescuing local girls who have been imprisoned by their families.
From another Dalrymple article,
http://old.nationalreview.com/september11/sept11-dalrymple.asp
“Education in Britain is compulsory for children between the ages of 5 and 16 (whether it should be is another question). But untold numbers of Muslim parents withdraw their daughters from school at the age of 11 or 12 and keep them at home, without other instruction, which is against the law. Although I have met scores of young women to whom this has happened, I have yet to meet one who was returned to school by the threat of legal action against her parents by the educational authorities. By contrast, I have heard of many white parents who have been harried by the courts for much lesser infractions of the educational law. What is most definitely not sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.”
I’ve read about cases where workers in British women’s shelters made a practice of reporting Muslim women who had fled abusive marriages to their families; remember shelters are usually staffed by locals, so it’s a “community” thing.
I have been somewhat disappointed by these developments in the UK.
Simple logic would be to bet on the socker hooligans…..the rage boys would get trashed.
This persectution of these 6 “good ol boys” by the authorites is an expression of fear by the nanny state.
KevinS, I was aware of the Steyn reportage on the Ayatolah’s ruling.
Which is kind of frightening in and of itself. This stuff is so crazy you can’t lampoon it.
However, what’s important here is if the aggrieved Stubby Al Dinnerjacket can eat the goat and thereby get his willy back. Sort of. Seeing as how he didn’t actually have “relations” with the goat and all. Or at least not this goat anyway.
Because the goat is all he gots left, since Lorena Al Dinnerjacket done ran off with his camel after she flung the Little General out the window to the goat in question.
You know what’s -really- scary? I be there’s a ruling on this someplace.
Black Mamba, good article. Reinforces my point that the problem is not Islam. The problem multi-culti leftist victim group politics has created a two tier, RACIST, SEXIST, law enforcement regime.
Its hilarious when you look at it. Here’s the same ACLU-style Leftists who won’t allow a Nativity scene in the town square, allowing girls to be locked up from age 12 onward due to -religion-. The same Leftists who want to bas guns so as to protect women from domestic violence will allow womens shelters to turn the abused back over to their abusers due to -religion-.
Which also goes to show the Lefties never gave a sh1t about women or religion in the first place. All a sham, all a scam to get power and use it to get more power.
What they -really- were after was the power to have 6 random kids arrested for nothing. That’s the purpose of the whole deal. Next step, arrest the entire English Defense League. Step after that, arrest the entire Muslim Brotherhood network.
Your papers, please.
Just for accuracy’s sake, this:
http://www.city-journal.org/html/14_2_when_islam.html
is the Dalrymple article which deals with genetic defects and cousin-marriage.
(The whole thing is worth reading, as all his stuff is; he mentions performing as a student in Romeo and Juliet in Afghanistan for the Crown Prince.)
I’m sure people here know “Godwin’s Law” – I would propose a modification of it to “Larsen’s Law” – I’m so depressed that when I’m talking to my friends, I end up talking about radical Islam – but they don’t care.
It is shocking the way the left leaning media does not have the backbone to call islam for what it is, a hateful totalitarian ideology pretending to be a religion.
Erik, wrong tack. Try asking your friends if its ok that 6 kids get arrested for a You-tube of them burning a religious book. Probably get more of a rise out of them.
