Which of us worked as a headline writer and editor for 40+ years? Oh, right, that would be me.
In your latest version, "rape" is modifying "gang" and not, properly, the reverse. I understand your wanting to shoehorn that horrible concept in there, but you're going to have to choose if you want something
• immediately impactful andTo achieve this goal, the wording must be precise and fit together seamlessly in a way that doesn't need to be explained.
• easily memorable.
You need to choose between the "gang rape" concept, which can be done by any group of depraved persons, and the "rape jihad" concept, which in my estimation is more heinous because it conveys the fanaticism of evil acts based on religious fervor, which conveys the perpetrators' self-deluded illusion of righteousness, and also identifies the ideology from which this evil springs.
Once you have people's attention, they may pay attention to the rest of the sordid details, like "gang." But it's not always gang. It is, however, always under the excuses of the religion of peace—which is also the reason the police were too PC and too frightened to protect the native English girls.
its a british newspaper. in the UK “asian” means south-asian.
And hindus, christians, sikhs etc. from the subcontinent are angry that the newspapers are using the term “asian” instead of muslim.
Fun fact - hindus, christians, sikhs and parsis from the subcontinent are HEAVILY UNDERREPRESENTED IN PRISONS - close to 0% and the ones that ARE there are for white-collar crimes.
Muslims from the same ethnic/racial background are OVERREPRESENTED by 4 times in prisons.
Ahem.
BAD prison to be a non muslim!!
No aryan nation over there i guess!
Aryan Nation are hardly christian.
There are white groups in prison as well - the biggest being the Russians.
But among the Muslims they also have white and black converts to Islam - criminals there fall into Islam.
