Culture, not ethnicity

lives of Muslim men and women in Britain. Casey’s report is a stark wake up call for things to change.

Muslim leaders need to stand with the women who had their lives shattered when they were girls by Asian men of Pakistani heritage. These men lived split lives, some acting as if they were holier than holy, yet their actions demonstrated that they were monsters who could not spare an ounce of empathy for vulnerable children. Such actions happen because religious, political and social leadership in British Muslim communities have failed to speak up to protect the weakest in our society.

It's not earth-shattering, but it's a rare and welcome acknowledgement of the problem from a British muslim.
