Asian gangs, schoolgirls and a sinister taboo

They have Muslim names, all but one. Why does Britain call them “Asians”?

The Brits are actually geographically correct, and less politically correct then the US press.

Pakistan and India are located in Asia. They typically refer to the people the US media refers to as "Asian" and come from the region around Japan, China, and the "far East" as "Oriental."

The PC thought process in the American media is so pervasive, I'll never forget an article I read that referred to a Black from Africa (who had never actually been to America) as an "African American African!"

If Hinduism as practiced is not polytheistic, then the word has no meaning.

[Racehorse]

That is precisely why Hinduism is so interesting and unintelligible to me. There are local or popular cults worshipping any number of gods or deities. There are those who believe all those gods or deities are simply the manifestations of a supreme being. I think there is even a branch which is somewhat atheistic. Maddening, trying to sort it out.

[James C. Bennett]

It's complicated, true.

Chapter XII

ARJUNA: LORD! of the men who serve Thee—true in heart—
As God revealed; and of the men who serve,
Worshipping Thee Unrevealed, Unbodied, far,
Which take the better way of faith and life?
KRISHNA: Whoever serve Me—as I show Myself—	5
Constantly true, in full devotion fixed,
These hold I very holy. But who serve—
Worshipping Me The One, The Invisible,
The Unrevealed, Unnamed, Unthinkable,
Uttermost, All-pervading, Highest, Sure—	10
Who thus adore Me, mastering their sense,
Of one set mind to all, glad in all good,
These blessed souls come unto Me.
Yet, hard
The travail is for whoso bend their minds	15
To reach th’ Unmanifest. That viewless path
Shall scarce be trod by man bearing his flesh!
But whereso any doeth all his deeds,
Renouncing self in Me, full of Me, fixed
To serve only the Highest, night and day	20
Musing on Me—him will I swiftly lift
Forth from life’s ocean of distress and death
Whose soul clings fast to Me. Cling thou to Me!
Clasp Me with heart and mind! so shalt thou dwell
Surely with Me on high. But if thy thought	25
Droops from such height; if thou be’st weak to set
Body and soul upon Me constantly,
Despair not! give Me lower service! seek
To read Me, worshipping with steadfast will;
And, if thou canst not worship steadfastly,	30
Work for Me, toil in works pleasing to Me!
For he that laboreth right for love of Me
Shall finally attain! But, if in this
Thy faint heart fails, bring Me thy failure! find
Refuge in Me! let fruits of labor go,	35
Renouncing all for Me, with lowliest heart,
So shalt thou come; for, though to know is more
Than diligence, yet worship better is
Than knowing, and renouncing better still
Near to renunciation—very near—	40
Dwelleth Eternal Peace!
Who hateth nought
Of all which lives, living himself benign,
Compassionate, from arrogance exempt,
Exempt from love of self, unchangeable	45
By good or ill; patient, contented, firm
In faith, mastering himself, true to his word,
Seeking Me, heart and soul; vowed unto Me,—
That man I love! Who troubleth not his kind,
And is not troubled by them; clear of wrath,	50
Living too high for gladness, grief, or fear,
That man I love!  Who, dwelling quiet-eyed,
Stainless, serene, well-balanced, unperplexed,
Working with Me, yet from all works detached,
That man I love!  Who, fixed in faith on Me,	55
Dotes upon none, scorns none; rejoices not,
And grieves not, letting good and evil hap
Light when it will, and when it will depart,
That man I love!  Who, unto friend and foe
Keeping an equal heart, with equal mind	60
Bears shame and glory, with an equal peace
Takes heat and cold, pleasure and pain; abides
Quit of desires, hears praise or calumny
In passionless restraint, unmoved by each,
Linked by no ties to earth, steadfast in Me,	65
That man I love!  But most of all I love
Those happy ones to whom ’tis life to live
In single fervid faith and love unseeing,
Eating the blessèd Amrit of my Being!
Here endeth Chapter XII. of the Bhagavad-Gîtâ,	70
entitled “Bhakityôgô,” or “The Book of
the Religion of Faith”.

Just to clarify by "Asian" the reporter means of Pakistani descent.

Thanks PotatoHeadMick.

"It is a subject that in politically correct modern Britain is almost taboo — rarely spoken about by the police, the courts or even the ­agencies that counsel the girls afterwards.

The simple fact is that the ­perpetrators are almost all Asian and from the north of England — and their victims white."

And from later in the article:

"At this point, it should be said loud and clear that the vast majority of Asian men are decent, law-abiding citizens and that rapists come from all racial and social backgrounds."

And a bit after that:

In Derby this week, Shokat Lal, chairman of the city’s Pakistani Community Centre in the Normanton area — where many of the girls were taken to seedy flats and then sexually attacked by the gang – spoke out, too: ‘It is important that political correctness or fear of offending any particular group of people does not get in the way of protecting those who are vulnerable.

These people are just like Obaama: they think that mouthing the right words will make everything OK, even if you then turn around and *do* the opposite of what is required.

NO cheers, unfortunately. We're doing much the same thing with respect to illegal immigrants from Mexico -- whether Mexican expatriates or jihadists sneaking in *through* Mexico.

Bump! And God bless you for your relentless work!

I read the article, and two of the four men sentenced had Pakistani names - but one had a Hindu name, and the other was a white British man.

In London and the south, a lot of the organised pimping is by Jamaican gangs.

The girls in question are lured by underage drinking and drug taking. Where are their parents? Why are they freely going out onto the streets to be driven off in cars by men whom they do not even know?
