According to a confidential report, British police failed to warn the public about Islamic sex trafficking rings for fear of sparking anti-Muslim backlash.

Recent revelations concerning the endemic sexual grooming of British girls by Muslim men demonstrate how crippling political correctness is, and how it complements the most abusive elements of Islamic law, or Sharia.

According to a June 24 report by the Birmingham Mail, as far back as March 2010, West Midlands Police knew that Muslim grooming gangs "were targeting children outside schools across the city—but failed to make the threat public."

A confidential report obtained under a Freedom of Information Act indicates that police were well aware that British pupils were being targeted by mostly Muslim men. Several passages from the report make this clear:

In one heavily redacted passage, entitled 'Schools', it states: "In (redacted) a teacher at a (redacted) that a group of Asian males were approaching pupils at the school gate and grooming them. Strong anecdotal evidence shows this MO (modus operandi) is being used across the force."

The 2010 report also reveals how these "Asian" gangs used victims to target other girls.
For example, by using "a young girl in a children's home to target and groom other residents on their behalf.... The girl's motivation to recruit new victims is often that the provision of new girls provides her a way to escape the cycle of abuse."

The report indicates that police were well aware that young girls were being targeted by mostly Muslim men.

Other victims were systematically "forced into prostitution and high levels of intimidation and force are used to keep the victims compliant."
Although police knew all this, the Birmingham Mail said it "is unaware of any police public appeals or warnings from that time"—appeals and warnings that no doubt would have saved many girls from the Islamic sex rings.

So what paralyzed police from any action, even warnings to the community? The report sheds light:

The predominant offender profile of Pakistani Muslim males... combined with the predominant victim profile of white females has the potential to cause significant community tensions.... There is a potential for a backlash against the vast majority of law abiding citizens from Asian/Pakistani communities from other members of the community believing their children have been exploited.

Once again, then, political correctness—this time under the pretext of fear of a "backlash"—was enough to paralyze the police from arresting Muslim sex predators and releasing their victims.

Political correctness prevented the police from arresting Muslim sex predators and releasing their victims.

And what if a "backlash" were to occur? Why is it okay for innocent children to be plied with drugs and passed around in kabob shops and taxicabs while police stand by—but it's not okay for the so-called "majority of law abiding citizens from Asian/Pakistani communities" to ever experience anything negative?

Maybe if they did, they'd actually rein in the sexual predators of their community—some of whom are, in fact, "pillars of their community." Maybe they'd implore their imams in the UK—the majority of whom reportedly promote the sexual grooming of "infidel" children—to change their tune.

In reality, the great fear is that a backlash would demonstrate once and for all that multiculturalism—especially in the context of Islam—is an abysmal failure; it would be an admittance that even the West is part of the "real world," one full of ugly truths that must be combated, not merely "understood" or appeased.

Police were reluctant to besmirch the reputations of Muslim sex traffickers considered to be "pillars of their community."

Better sacrifice some British kids on the altar of multiculturalism than overturn the altar altogether.

It's also interesting to see that political correctness not only exonerates Islamic-inspired crimes, but has a symbiotic relationship with the supremacist elements of Sharia.
For example, some know that, while Islamic law bans any mockery of its founder, Muhammad, so too does Western censorship in the name of political correctness accommodate this Sharia statute (meanwhile, Islamic teachings—based on the precedent of Muhammad—hold it the right of a Muslim to curse, mock, and desecrate other religions).

In the case of Muslim-led sex grooming rings in Britain, just as Islamic law permits the sexual exploitation of "infidel" women, so too does Western political correctness allow it to flourish in Western lands.

Worst of all, it's not just politicians and other jesters who are engaging in this form of Sharia-enabling political correctness. In the UK, it's the very police departments themselves.
