Will Self on Pakistani Muslim Misogyny

The following exchange between Will Self and Louise Mensch is rather interesting, for Self carefully outlines why he thinks that there is a particular Pakistani Muslim problem with paedophilia and the systematic grooming of English girls, and that whereas it has formerly been glossed over, it should be no longer. He identifies this pattern of abuse as being specifically rooted in the misogyny of part of the male Pakistani Muslim population. His approach is altogether measured and reasonable, whereas Mensch's interjection can be interpreted as little more than the recitation of PC 'anti-racist' shibboleths designed to curry favour with the Muslim electorate, describing the Islam that Self correctly identifies as fostering an intense misogyny and specific contempt for non-Muslim English girls as "a particularly warped extremist version of Islam that no mainstream British Muslim would recognise for a second." In uttering such a statement Mensch either betrays her intense ignorance, or a cynical propensity to elevate the interests of Pakistani Muslims over English working class girls for whom I imagine she has little respect. Of course, Self quite correctly never said that it was all men from such a background who possess such views and who condone this type of behaviour, but it proved convenient for Mensch to pretend that this is what he did say.

Mensch doesn't have a clue. She is as out of touch as Cameron, Osborne and the other habitués of the cocktail set. She ought to quit politics and return to judging the local gymkhana. Her profoundly ignorant and stigmatising attitudes are precisely those which have permitted the systematic Muslim paedophile abuse of English girls to continue unchallenged for years, and if these attitudes are not ditched and the problem recognised for what it is, then many more girls will fall victim to this dreadful crime. Is Louise Mensch your MP? If so, why not write to her and ask her why she is so complacent about the fate of underage English girls, and more concerned with the welfare of Pakistani Muslim paedophiles.
