This is simply not true. Why would it be? Homogeneous communities are different and therefore have different strengths and weaknesses (although the strengths in Muslim communities are often cunningly concealed). Diversity swings both ways. Muslim communities (considered as a distinct subset of Muslims in the UK) have very specific and serious problems
I appreciate what you mean, sure different groups require different strategies, but the challenges in everyday policing such as lack of reporting from such groups, intelligence gathering, concealment etc are pretty much the same, whatever the group and their reasons are. I was viewing that from the perspective of routine policing, rather than terrorism.
the most obvious being the rape gangs occurring in practically every major town and city in England.
Sexual assault and predatory behavior does occur pretty much everywhere, but a claim of organized rape gangs in every major city, Muslim or not, probably requires it's own thread. I won't rule out that such things might be happening, sex trafficking of many different kinds is a genuine problem, but not specifically a Muslim thing to my knowledge. Happy to learn more of course if you could provide some sources.
Muslims are over-represented by 300% in the prison system and so too in crimes such as heroin trafficking and, of course, terrorism.
This is interesting and if true definitely warrants it's own thread. 300% over-representation (by population percentage) is a staggering amount and certainly warrants discussion. However in this particular thread it is also completely contradictory to the OP that Muslims are running wild and not being challenged by the Police.
I can understand that people who lap up the mainstream media would attempt to deny this. ...... Hate crime. Not very nice but kind of fades into the background compared to 22 dead kids at a concert.
Well I'm not going to argue against the idea media reporting can be a problem or can provide an unbalanced perspective. As I mentioned with Baylor, Rotherham was horrific and I'm not going to defend the failings that were uncovered, but at least some progress has made since. I won't pretend that such things can't happen again but I hope that we can do a better job to prevent anything happening on that scale.
The Manchester bombing was terrible, targeting civilians is always reprehensible and feels even worse when children are involved. Radical ideology is a serious problem and a difficult one to address. Islamic terrorism is obviously the current ideology that has led directly to attacks, but it isn't the only one and it isn't solved by alienating the people who can help us best defeat it. Contrary to some opinions not every community has links to terrorism, or supports radical Islam. They are not all in isolation or anti police and the majority actively condemn such actions and co-operate with authorities. Of course there are exceptions, in any group you apply a label too there will be a wide variety of individuals, good and bad. There are real problems, some of which include people who are Muslim, but the reason I de-lurked is that inaccurate misinformation and hyperbole. deliberately misleading propaganda and vilifying entire groups, are good examples of those problems. It's the same kind of manipulation often used to recruit extremists and we should do better, not stoop to their level.
