in the UK, groom-rapes, apart from terrorism, have no religion.
when the slugfests over the BBC-deception & Udwin's documentary were at the peak, news about these 'grooming' gangs were used to show some over-excited & sermonising british (and the brown-british aka indian sepoys) the other side of the reality.
i believe the islamic cult definitely has some evil supernormal aura to it, which lends it kind of a 'God-mode' power against criticism (and reform), in the name of the unspoken or hush-hush 'political correctness'. the (liberal) world is the most sensitive to any critique about islam, while its 'universalistic' thoughts/values try desperately to distance any wrongdoing in the name of islam from islam itself, in the name of 'but religion has nothing to do with it'; and this affinity is seen generally only for islam, but when its other religions, the liberalness of many a liberal go for a toss!
regarding the politicians of democracies, their position doesn't seem very different from those of the white women of USA who participated in the civil rights movement - if one refused to do sexual intercourse with a black man (the 'rad-fad' of that movement), she was termed a 'racist'; and if she accepted, she was a 'slut'.
similarly, if a politician calls an islamist spade an ISLAMIST spade, he's a 'racist'/'communal'; and if he cosies up to the islamists, he's 'secular'/'liberal' (a slut in my and many others' eyes). what to talk of politicians! just see in what tone the british/european MSM reports about/treats those groups of people who protest against the islamic immigrant leeches (in short, the protesters are a bunch of 'crazy RW-racists/fascists' for them!).
the ultra-permissive west wasn't/isn't satisfied with all-out hedonism & its new-age internet-edition (plus spreading it globally), but it wants to indulge in a different type of liberal orgy it appears, by inviting scum of the earth in the name of 'cultural/religious & racial amalgamation'; just that this 'pleasure-seeking pursuit' is giving more pain, more quickly, but the subject is still blind to it (deliberately partially) & yet to fully realise its misadventure.
@jouni sir - please believe religion has much to do with it. in our part of the world, the secular-brigades have repeatedly raised this bogey of joblessness, hopelessness etc. in order to try to 'explain' away the horrible acts of the 'poor peacefuls', but they get to eat dirt when cases of educated & gainfully working peacefuls being involved in peaceful acts keep coming up. terrorism isn't the sole utility in the pocket of an islamist. taqqiya/deception, covert means, changing demographics, soft means, etc. form his utility-kit. believe us. we've centuries-old constant, continuous & consistent experience of all of this, which continue(s) still (just a day back the governor of a state of India warned of an impending and irreversible demographic-change in it if nothing done soon, although he too sugar-coated it by saying that it has nothing to do with religion; you now may get an idea as to why the majority Hindus have to suffer at the hands of the islamists - yes, on account of their pusillanimous politically correct politicians). the islamic immigrants in europe are not there to 'intermix' (even if they want, or some of them want; they can't help it) & reciprocate with the same feelings/intentions relayed out to/for them. they are simply not wired/bred that way, are a highly communal people who live like bees and sting like them, won't be grateful to you for providing with amenities & opportunities & won't leave a chance to spew curses on you (chk youtube comments sections, esp. some arabic comments on some vids, a few of which may've nothing to do with europe v/s islam thing at all! some jerk starts and the chain follows), come from a misogynistic cult, and hence the incidents that europe's been seeing. won't write more for now, but what's there in the OP has much to do (intricately as well as simply) with religion (of the perpetrators; western 'universalism' doesn't apply. not all religions are made the same) when its (in) a pattern.
