:::That's cute. However, the more I think about it the less I think this section belongs in a general article on a large population.

::::: Here I agree with AnkhMorpork, let's keep this civil. But I still don't see why this section belongs on this page. It creates the false impression that single instances of crime somehow reflect upon the larger group, a logic which only seems to apply in the case of this specific group of immigrants. This goes against the NPOV policy of Misplaced Pages. We're not talking about removing all references to the child grooming issue, as it already has its own entry. Even if you can find sources that say that this reflects badly upon Pakistanis in Britain (which is probably true), that doesn't make this a general controversy regarding the continued existence of Pakistani immigrants in Britain, and that is why this section should be removed. ] (]) 17:01, 9 May 2012 (UTC) |

The impact of these events and their effect on the Pakistani community has been commented upon by sources, including a that investigated the grooming of young girls for sex by Pakistani men in the UK.<small style="border: 1px solid;padding:1px 4px 1px 3px;white-space:nowrap">''']'''.''']'''</small> 17:05, 9 May 2012 (UTC) |

:::::::If that is the case, then the paragraph should be rephrased to reflect the backlash, as that is what is pertinent to the main article. Also, I see that on the wiki page for the Rochdale sex trafficking gang, the "concerns" section has been marked with a weasel tag. I don't think this paragraph should be restored until it is rewritten to reflect how this case has caused a massive backlash, and sourced correctly.] (]) 17:35, 9 May 2012 (UTC) |

::::::::It is not just that though is it? "in the recent scandal regarding two Asian men found guilty of grooming young girls for sex, and then abusing them. The local MP, Jack Straw, said that it was “a specific problem which involves Pakistani heritage men”" ''Thought Paralysis: The Virtues of Discrimination'' "Agencies have identified a long term pattern of offending by gangs of men, predominately from the British Pakistani community, who have befriended and abused hundreds of vulnerable girls aged 11 to 16" ''The Terrorist Next Door'' ] (]) 18:11, 9 May 2012 (UTC) |

:::::::::I'm sorry, but I don't think these last changes cut it. The source of the first claim, Erick Stakelbeck, cannot be called neutral by any definition of the word. He is a known anti-Muslim agitator with no formal training in cases of terrorism and Muslim immigration (I believe he used to be a sports reporter) and also subscribes to bizarre views such as fearing that Muslims will attack the U.S. with electro-magnetic pulse weapons. He has also said he thinks George Bush jr. was a coward because he did not declare war on Islam after 9/11. The second source not only contradicts its own title later in the article (most UK child abusers are in fact whites, even if Asians are overrepresented), but the Times article that is referenced is not a news article but an opinion piece. It even states unequivocally "Of course, most British Pakistanis are not in a CSE network." So why does this issue deserve its own subsection on this page? I still think it should be left out completely until someone comes up with a well-sourced argument for why some sex offenders should be connected to the larger population of British Pakistanis (and I suspect that this is the reason we don't see similar entries on the main pages for Belgium or Austria) ] (]) 20:18, 9 May 2012 (UTC) |

:::Well, well. AnkhMorpork, would you like to provide the entire sentence for "most of the convicted offenders are of Pakistani heritage..."? Actually, you'd better, because, from what I've been able to find elsewhere, it seems to continue "..., unlike other known models of child-sex offending in Britain, including child abuse initiated by online grooming, in which the vast majority of perpetrators are white". This blatant misrepresentation of sources is sufficient grounds alone to call for a topic ban, if not an outright block.

:::::::::Ok, I found the paywalled Times article, it can be read in its entirety here . It explicitly states that indeed street-level grooming in certain parts of Britain is dominated by British Pakistanis, but also that in general grooming is dominated by white Brits. Other areas of the country are plagued with Kurdish, West Caribbean and Bangladeshi grooming gangs. Seems to me that the case for this being a particularly British Pakistani problem is pretty weak. And that's it from me, now I'm off to edit somewhere people can work together to make good articles instead of bickering like this. ] (]) 15:07, 16 May 2012 (UTC) |

''In February 2009, it was reported that the Central Intelligence Agency believed that a British-born Pakistani extremist entering the US under the Visa Waiver Program was the most likely source of a major terrorist attack on American soil.'' - by whom? By the Telegraph. This needs to be attributed if it is included. And I'm not sure it should be included since it's pretty much a single sentence from a single source but a very substantial claim. And substantial claims require more serious sources. This is just cherry picking and undue. Additionally, it is also a COPYVIO since it's pretty much copied verbatim from the original source. Please remove this ASAP, or at least reword it appropriately. |

''The publication of Salman Rushdie's The Satanic Verses in 1988 is said to have been a precursor for the September 11 attacks.'' - this is supposedly sourced to the New York Times. But actually the link is to middleeast.about.com. Furthermore, the page very clearly states that it was actually originally published by ''Daytona Beach, Fla., News-Journal''. This may or may not be a reliable source, but unless I'm missing something, it ain't the New York Times. Additionally this appears to be an opinion piece, which opens up with "''In 2005, anyone who loves the American language celebrated the 50th anniversary of Vladimir Nabokov’s Lolita, still the greatest American novel of the last half century. ''" - so actually, it's NOT a reliable source. And on top of that the present Misplaced Pages article, by pulling a sentence completely out of context, manages to give a very different impression than what is actually in the source (hint: verbatim =/ representative) Remove it. |

== Grooming Gangs[ == |

This: ''"The publication of The Satanic Verses, coupled with violence in the Middle East and the wider Muslim world, helped radicalised Muslim men whose ancestors had come to the UK from Pakistan and elsewhere"'' is cited to two sources. The first one is, again, an opinion piece, and NOT a reliable source for these kinds of claims. It is also disputable whether or not the source actually supports the text being included. The other source is which is another opinion piece. |

Why this page doesn't contain anything regarding Grooming Gangs, while those at the top of british government, themselves saying that grooming gangs are made up of "almost all british Pakistani" |
|
This: ''"British Pakistanis, male and female, on average claim to have had only one sexual partner. The average British Pakistani male claims to have lost his virginity at the age of 20, the average female at 22, giving an average age of 21. 3.2 per cent of Pakistani males report that they have been diagnosed with a sexually transmitted infection (STI), compared to 3.6 per cent of Pakistani females. Cultural norms regarding issues such as chastity and marriage have resulted in British Pakistanis having a substantially older age for first intercourse, lower number of partners, and lower STI rates than the national average"''. WHO. THE. FUCK. CARES? This is not encyclopedic content. At BEST it's trivia. |

Home Secretary Suella Braverman said that the perpetrators of such crimes are “groups of men, almost all British Pakistani”. To the BBC she said the gangs were "overwhelmingly" made up of British-Pakistani males. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has vowed to do whatever it takes to root out grooming gangs and put more perpetrators behind bars. The UK PM announced a new Grooming Gangs Taskforce to tackle the menace. |

The rest of the section is also very much in the "let's find as many negative things as possible to say about these people we don't like vein". It's mostly UNDUE. |

::The "British Pakistanis, male and female, on average claim to have had..." stuff. I think it can be rephrased. But it is probably interesting to note. Such info is MUCH better than making a list of "person X, who committed crime Y, happens to be a British-Pakistani". But hard statistics about the British Pakistani community should be fine.''']''' <sub>]</sub> 02:42, 25 May 2012 (UTC) |
