The Documentary titled “Groomed for Sex” was aired on on BBC three last week.

The subject was related to the Pakistani Community and when contacted i felt obliged to participate and try to present some clear thoughts on the issue that may help salvage the Pakistani and Muslim Community from the Media Witch hunt, which we often see after such issues come to the forefront.

The aired documentary covered many parts of the UK and was packed with many interviews for the hour-long show.

Inevitably that meant that when it came to edit time, only selected clips would be used due to time restrictions. BBC filmed myself and three other Friends from Rochdale for over an hour. Many of which would not make it to the final edit.

I therefore wish to shed some light on the discussions which didn’t get airtime that took place on the day of filming. My Key points were ■Jack Straw, a seasoned Politician with a track record of high positions in Government raised the issue now (january 2011) rather than before when odd cases were being reported. Why?

■There have been European Gangs operating for years on end with a sophisticated Network, trafficking women from Europe for Prostitution. Why no reference to ‘European Culture’ being responsible for this sort of treatment of women?

■Britain has a legal Adult industry where men can ‘take their pick’ to choose from a wide range of resources for Sexual Gratification which pushes the boundaries all the time on how they feel about women ■Many people could come under the bracket of viewing women as “Easy Meat”. This breeds reckless and irresponsible attitudes and behaviours towards women.

■When Pakistani Culture is attacked, it essentially is talking about Islamic Values which opens the door to unjustified Religious hatred and intolerance based on a handful of cases of men convicted for Grooming. ■There is a mentality that “We will commit crime if we can get away with it”. This mindset was seen with the rioters in Summer, MP Expenses, Bankers and even Celebrities who earn millions but yet were found stealing from Shops!

This view is born from ‘looking after Number 1′ where a person feels unaccountable to any Govt, Police, person or deity.
