Political correctness foils detection and punishment of 1400 sex abuse cases in English city

Here's the story in a PC nutshell. Rotherham is a city in South Yorkshire, England. Its population is about 260,000, a substantial (and visible) minority of whom are south Asian -- Pakistani Muslims to be precise. For sixteen (16) years, a ring of Pakistani perverts preyed on something like 1400 (fourteen hundred) children, in what police describe as "organized child sexual exploitation".

In 2010, five Pakistani Muslim men from Rotherham were found guilty of sex offences against girls as young as 12. In 2011 Ashtiaq Asghar was jailed for the murder of 17-year-old Laura Wilson, who had been a victim of sexual exploitation.

There have been four separate enquiries into the scandal, going back as far as 2003, with the most recent being released just this month. Yet the perps mentioned above are the only only ones to have been convicted of anything. No-one else has been charged. None of the officials or "authorities" charged with protecting children from such predators have lost their jobs. Instead there has been only a massive, scandalous and ongoing coverup.

How can this be? No prize for guessing it's because of political correctness. The sexual abuse, exploitation and trafficking of children by Muslim vizmins has been called a "taboo" subject. City councillors and other officials stand accused of "ignoring a politically inconvenient truth". Why? For "fear of being thought racist" and "threatening 'community cohesion'". Such is life in politically correct Britain.

Of course nothing like this could ever happen in Canada or the USA!
