I was pretty clear in my initial response as to my position. Can you clarify yours please?
Do you support a greater penalty (incarceration time) for a convicted rapist if they are an immigrant rather than if it was someone who holds citizenship? Is that what you are actually arguing?
Not knowing who your people are may be indicative of the problem.
I wasn't challenging your wording, I was challenging to fundamental lack of understanding of reality that it demonstrated. You didn't write "multiculturalism" by mistake, you wrote it because you truly thought it was relevant here.
You didn't repeat the lie about accepting the rape of children in return for cheap labour by mistake, you really wanted to make that accusation.
You didn't mention "Labour party officials" by mistake, you really wanted to spin a partisan political attack in to this for some reason.
If you really cared about the victims of this kind of crime (both British and foreign), there are constructive ways you can do something about it - for example, there are all sorts of charitable organisations set up to support them. This kind thread doesn't help anyone and if anything it can cause harm, feeding the misinformation and misdirection which leads to whole groups of often innocent people being tarred with the crimes of a minority and a whole load of actual criminals being ignored because they don't fit the stereotypes.
In other words you do not wish to address the challenges on every lie you told.Whenever I ask British members of the board to list the benefits ....................~.
This really isn't a case of resisting multiculturalism. It's a case of insisting that all who immigrate to a country agree to abide by that nation's laws and codes above all else, including any religious tenets that might be in opposition to the laws and codes of the host nation.
People of all races and religions rape but some (sub)cultures actually use rape as a method of control. This is a cultural throwback to a time when rape was considered as just one of many ways to subvert an enemy.
The West, for the most part, has evolved beyond that disgusting idea, and the laws of western nations reflect that evolution. When non-westerners immigrate from nations where that ideal still holds sway, we can see a culture shock, which we've increasingly seeing.
The way western host countries can stop the infiltration of an undesirable subculture is to set stricter assimilation standards for immigrants so they know, in no unsure terms, that cultural norms that may have been tolerated in the nations from which they emigrated, will not be tolerated in the host nation.
Immigrants should undergo a probationary period during which any infractions of host laws will be punished on a greater scale than those of a native or an immigrant who has successfully completed probation with no violations.
Making excuses for this type of cultural misbehavior is akin to encouraging further rapes. Those who do it are typically closet misogynists.
Care to show us any examples of nations that did well as a result of resisting multiculturalism?
I don't believe you. That's the problem with dishonesty in your posts. Anyway, your OP here was about asylum seekers, not migrants. Do you actually know the difference?Whenever I ask British members of the board to list the benefits of migration from the Muslim world to the UK, the invariable one word reply they muster is 'diversity'.
I'm not supporting migration of Muslims. I'm not specifically opposed to migration of Muslims as a general principle either. Many of the problems associated with them aren't exclusive to Muslims and most Muslims aren't responsible for. Immigration is a much wider and more complex issue deserving of more intelligent and honest discussion.Given the downsides of migration from the Muslim world, i.e, grooming gangs, reliance on government benefits, racial division, housing shortages, & terrorism, please list all positive benefits that Muslim migration brings to the UK.
The same as for any other crime with any other victim - the criminals who commit it.Who's to blame for the fact that English girls are being drugged and raped by groups of Muslim men in many parts of England?
That has certainly been an issue, though far from a Labour one. One of the main causes of that was the legitimate fear that people like you would react to revelations of individual Muslim criminals by targeting hatred to all Muslims (and people you mistake for Muslims), which can and does lead to discrimination and violence. Silence was the wrong response to that but you can't avoid your share in the responsibility any more than Muslims can avoid their share in responsibility for the religious and cultural problems they bring.A code of silence has previously existed in the UK, whereby members of local government and law enforcement felt the need to keep the citenzry uninformed of the monsters in their midst. This code of silence was promulgated throughout government by the politically correct assholes of Labour.
Well I'm not a member of any political party so that's an accusation you're wrong on from the start. I've helped bring cases to court of abuse victims, bringing attackers to justice to stop them creating more victims. You're sitting over there cheering them on because it supports your partisan political hatred. I feel sorry for you.Ah, you'd prefer that old code of silence I just mentioned. But those who you really wish to silence are the victims, in order to spare the public image of the Muslim community. A true Labour party enthusiast, you've proven my every accusation correct.
Asylum seekers are using Facebook to find English children to drug and rape. Has this experiment in multiculturalism worked out well for England? I can't imagine that the common Brit feels that receiving cheap laborers in exchange for having their children drugged and raped was really a great deal to make. Maybe it's just Labour party officials who are content with that arrangement?

While many of the British posters on the board choose to split hairs over terminology, foreign gangs that traffic in sex slavery are preying on English children.
Simply put, I don't give a **** if my wording wasn't perfect. eace
The USA has it's own problem with child rapes and sex slavery.
It recently hit home with me when I was listening to a young lady from Virginia Beach talking on Tony Macrini's talk AM 790 morning show about funding a shelter for ex sex slaves. There are over 100,000 young sex slaves right here at home.

The wife and I have cut a $100.00 check for the latest fundraiser. It's not much, but every little bit helps.
Funny how the OP never talks about the far more cases of child abuse and grooming done by non asylum seekers and non Muslims...
Immigrants do go through a "probationary period"...because if they commit a felony before they become citizens, they can be deported.
What's more, if you'll Google around, you'd find that immigrants - legal AND illegal - generally commit significantly LESS crime than native-born Americans. I can provide you references on demand - and my reference for the latter would certainly be from the strongly-conservative Cato Institute, the scholarly wing of the Heritage Foundation.
In other words, perhaps instead of taking the word of Fox News and Hannity and Limbaugh and Bannon about how terrible and violent immigrants are so often, you should look at the overall numbers and see if the right-wing media is factual and accurate...or if they're feeding you a line of BS. In other words, you should be every bit as cynical of right-wing media as you are of left-wing media.

Lol, you couldn't even name one solitary benefit of migration from Muslim areas.

One benefit is that it annoys racist people like you.
About 2,000 children went missing in the US today, like every other day. Haven't seen you speaking about that problem either.
The self righteous are always more right.
Again, because I'm not promoting migration from Muslim areas. Why won't you tell us when you stopped beating your wife?Lol, you couldn't even name one solitary benefit of migration from Muslim areas!
The vast majority of child abuse in this country isn't related to these "gangs" though and the vast majority of Muslims in the UK aren't involved in it or any other crime. If you actually want to deal with the real problems, you need to have a much more detailed and accurate understanding of them that you do.My OP contained a news article about asylum seekers, but went on to address the problems of grooming gangs, which are not limited to asylum seekers. The only common thread to these gangs seems to be that the men who run them are from Muslim backgrounds.
Where are you getting your information about Muslim communities in the UK? Have you ever spoken to any Muslims (not on forums, actually spoken)? Have you ever lived and worked with any Muslims? Or are you relying exclusively on selected extracts from tabloid news reports?I'm curious as to why the Islamic communities of the UK aren't doing more to educate people in their neighborhoods about these gangs? I've heard of Sharia Patrols that roamed streets looking for people to shame. Why don't these Sharia Patrols shame men who are preying on children in their midsts? They don't care? Or maybe they participate behind closed doors?
You sound like you've already decided my opinion and aren't actually reading what I'm writing.You sounded earlier like you'd be quite content going back to the old method of ignoring victims' pleas for help in order to keep people from asking just why in the hell are immigrants to the UK raping native children to begin with.
There is no foe seeking to rape our children. There are individuals, all over the world, who attack, abuse and rape. Once you start labelling vast groups of people - Muslims, Arabs, foreigners or indeed whites, men, Christians - as "the enemy", you've already lost.Especially a foe who sought to rape their children for Christ's sake.
That was intentional; it was what you accused the British of doing!A familiar and stupid insult.
Just proven criminals or all Muslims? Your statements aren't very clear about the difference.In fact, I'd probably be banned if I said what I really want to happen to them.
Nope, but I also dont go around blaming a minority constantly for some of those disappearances..
None of that matters if we're talking about making excuses for (sub)cultural ideas that run counter to our laws.
Those ideals, the ones that are especially abhorrent, such as subjugation of women, or intolerance of homosexuals must be nipped in the bud early on. There must be no excuses and the behavior must be labeled and denounced.
We're not so so much seeing a cultural rape problem in the US, but we are seeing a problem in the US in the form of female genital mutilation (FGM). A handful of Muslim doctors have been arrested and charged but not nearly enough to stop the problem.
That's the best example of a cultural issue that has to be stopped in the US today. It's estimated that literally 500,000 females have either already undergone the surgical procedure, or are at risk of having the surgery.
Arresting and charging a few doctors hasn't stopped the risk or the practice.
Now, the doctors that have been arrested have been here longer than a probationary period and are being charged as any other US doctor charged with surgical negligence.
But, how do you stop this practice that is mutilating the genitals of little girls so they will not experience sexual gratification as adults?
These types of cultural atrocities must be dealt with. We ignored it and tiptoed around it so we didn't step on any toes, and it got worse. We hoped it would not happen -- but it did -- and is.
I don't have cable TV, so I don't get any of those shows, nor would I watch them if I did. You make a mistake thinking my perspective comes from a far right wing source. It comes from logic. We are responsible for protecting the weaker within our midst, the women, the children, the homosexuals. Not all Muslims take part, or even defend the actions of the subculture that allows the domination and subordination of these groups, but far too high a percentage agree, at least in part, with the subculture.
Tiptoeing only worsens the situation. We need to come out and strongly denounce any ideas that it's okay to treat others like second-class citizens, and if, during an immigrant's probationary period, he or she violates our rules, they must be made an example of to send a message to others that they have to leave those damaging cultural ideas behind when they come to the West.
Finland, Poland, Belgium (speaks liberally, doesn't follow thru), Portugal, Lichtenstein, Russia, most of the former Soviet Republics, Saudi Arabia (with exception of day laborers, servants and slaves), Bahrain, Oman, Sri Lanka, Mexico, Ecuador, Peru, Panama, Jamaica, Columbia, Nepal, Myanmar (where they are killing off muslims), there are plenty more.
By staying as a cohesive political unit? too many to count...
A half million American women have gone through female genital mutilation? References, please...'cause it sure looks like you bought a first-class ticket on the right-wing crazy train.
According to Equality Now, up to 513,000 women and girls in the United States are at risk of FGM or have undergone the practice.
