British Home Secretary under fire for stating that the majority of paedophile rape gangs in the UK are of Pakistani origin
JUNE 20, 2019 BY BARENAKEDISLAM
Sajid Javid is a self-made millionaire, raised a Muslim, grew-up on Stapleton Road and went to Downend School, and voted Remain in the Brexit referendum
Semi-kudos to Home Secretary Sajid Javid, who is of Pakistani origin himself, for publicly admitting that “most pedophiles in the UK are of Pakistani descent.” He left out the part about them being Muslims, as well, but most people understand that the vast majority of Pakistanis in the UK are also Muslims. A leftist in his position would never make such an admission lest be called a “racist” or “Islamophobe.” Javid has not escaped being excoriated by the left for his statements.
Pakistan Today UK Home Secretary Sajid Javid on Wednesday said that a high proportion of men involved in gang-based child exploitation in the country are of Pakistani descent. Pakistani grooming gangs have recently been convicted in Huddersfield, Oxford, and Rotherham.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4 Today, Javid – who has Pakistani heritage – said that ignoring the ethnicity of abusers gives “oxygen” to extremists. When asked by the British-Pakistani novelist Kamila Shamsie whether he was concerned that his comments may have fueled hate crimes, he said that he was “very much aware of the need for politicians to be careful with their language”.
“When I am asking my officials to go away and do research to look into the causes of gang-based child exploitation, then I want them to leave no stone unturned and to look at everything,” he added. “For me to rule something out just because it would be considered sensitive would be wrong,” he said.
“There could be – I’m not saying that there are – there could be some cultural reasons from the communities that these men came from that could lead to this kind of behaviour,” Javid said..
Hundreds of members of Pakistani Muslim grooming gangs have recently been convicted in Huddersfield, Oxford, and Rotherham.
Independent Sajid Javid has already faced backlash from MPs and race equality advocates earlier this year after tweeting about “sick Asian* paedophiles.” (*Asian is commonly used in place of ‘Muslim’ in the UK as a means of obfuscation of the facts)
The home secretary’s tweet came after a gang of 20 mostly Pakistani Muslim men were found guilty of the rape and sexual abuse of girls aged as young as 11 in Huddersfield. The full Tweet read:
The tweet, which targets Asians (Muslims), was condemned by Labour MP David Lammy who said Mr Javid’s words risked increasing violence against ethnic minorities. “Sajid Javid has brought a great office of state into disrepute. By singling out Asians (Muslims) he not only panders to the far right, but increases the risk of violence and abuse against minorities across the country.”
Mr Lammy said that Mr Javid’s comments were particularly inflammatory as religious hate crimes have risen dramatically in the past year. “It’s no coincidence that religious hate crimes have rocketed up by 40 per cent in the past year, as we have witnessed a degradation of political rhetoric towards hate, division and fear.
“Whatever the underlying motives of the offenders involved paedophilia, it is an abhorrent crime that affects all communities. It does no service to the victims of this evil to pin the blame on any one group.”
Dr Zubaida Haque, the deputy director of race equality think tank Runnymede Trust, described Mr Javid’s tweet as “appalling and a complete disservice to the survivors” of sexual abuse. “Not only does his tweet reflect his lack of knowledge about predictors of sexual abuse, in one moment of ill-conceived, ambitious weakness, he has thrown Asians (Muslims) under the bus.”
Dr Haque echoed Mr Lammy’s warning that the home secretary’s words may increase racial hatred. “Religious hate crimes happen because of politicians like Sajid Javid inciting hatred and social division.” “It’s a nod to the far right. This will have a significantly detrimental impact on how Asian (Muslim) men are treated and perceived.”
With “the start of refugee week” UK Home Secretary Sajid Javid proudly boasts: “Britain has resettled more refugees than any other EU state,” since 2016. So now, Britain wants more refugees. The government has announced that “it will resettle thousands more refugees starting from next year, and for years to come. Javid, son of Pakistani migrants, further indicated his preference for Muslim migrants from the Middle East and Africa. He stated: “It’s something that we’ll continue to do in conflict zones and danger zones and from dangerous countries around the world, especially the Middle East and Africa”.
PING
The only question is, whether it is true. If it is true, it was reasonable for him to state so.
I guess that the UK government didn’t have enough problems so they decided to import more.
Truth Hurts
Crimethink.
He has had too much to think.
Dead Man Walking.
Majority? How about all.
Sadiq Kahn has Pakistani heritage, I believe.
Interestingly anything you can attack muslims on, they proudly declare it on themselves , in fact. How is it islamophobic to say they are pedophiles when they openly pride themselves as such?
My tag line becomes more relevant every day it seems....

It's a good place for some of them.
I guess they don’t read Orwell in the U.K. anymore. If races other than whites will always be overprotected, then any damaging behavior perpetrated by a racial group will also be protected lest it be perceived as an attack on a protected racial group. Just use said group as a vehicle for your Leftist aims and decent people will turn themselves into knots trying not to be perceived as bigoted.
During times of universal deceit; telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
-George Orwell
