U.K.: Welsh police report forced marriage cases at an all-time high

Jihad Watch reader Philip notes that this report fails to mention any religion -- just a brief mention of an "East v. West clash." The article also states that "forced marriage was a 'hidden harm' among some sectors of the community."

Sectors That Must Not Be Named. If they were Catholics, or Anglicans, the BBC, in its known bias, would be naming names with joyful abandon. "Forced marriages 'at record high' - South Wales Police," from BBC News, March 9:

South Wales Police say they are dealing with the largest number of cases of forced marriage and honour based-violence they have ever seen.
In the past 12 months, the force has dealt with 49 cases of forced marriage, up from a typical 30-35, with new cases almost every week.
The four Welsh forces have been involved in about 60 cases, with four in north Wales in six months.
The figures are released to coincide with International Women's Day.
A forced marriage, as opposed to an arranged marriage, is where either bride or groom, or both, do not consent to a wedding and are coerced into accepting it.
In many cases they are told they will bring their family shame or dishonour if they refuse.
Ch Supt Neil Kinrade, head of South Wales Police's communities and partnerships department, said forced marriage was a "hidden harm" among some sectors of the community.
He said: "I'm pleased that we are dealing with the numbers [of cases that] we are, however, we are still only dealing with a small number of the actual incidents and practices that are taking place.
"This, amongst the community, is a hidden harm.
"It goes on and it goes on often unchecked by senior members of the community who know it's taking place....

That there are Muslims in Wales is both shocking and horrific. I see that the invasion of Islam into the West continues apace.

What needs to take place is Christians, Jews, and other faiths in including those moderate Muslims (if you can find one) and go strait to the BBC headquarters and begin to picket them with thousands of people to show solidarity that we want clarity in our reporting. We want the known criminals to be named and we want the truth about Islamism exposed for what it is by the drive by media. They would hate nothing more than demonstrations outside their dhimmi headquarters. The same goes for here in America with all the political correctness.

OT

Nothing to see here, not a Muslim in sight.

OT vent, and no doubt too familiar. Last night my newly graduated (indoctrinated?) son and I had a *loud discussion* regarding the all too familiar death cult. He seems to believe there are only moderate Muslims. And of course, only a tiny minority of misguided poor marginalized youth, like Jews, Christians etc. . . . are terrorists.
Result: Ongoing. I will, as with others, stay the course and never give up. Our side must win! Against ALL!

"Dr Gill said that family "honour" killings cut across ethnic, class, and religious lines, though it was important to say that they occurred despite religion, rather than because of it. Victims were usually women but sometimes men."

So take it easy you islamophobes. Honour killings has nothing to do with the tenets of Islam. That is a racist myth now rejected by science. And I believe in science. ;-)

Rape victims denied justice in Pakistan

Almost a thousand women were raped in Pakistan during 2010 while more than 2,000 were abducted and almost 1,500 murdered, according to the Aurat Foundation, an organisation working for the protection of women in the country.

A further 500 were the victims of “honour killings”or Karo-kari, a custom under which relatives and other fellow tribesmen kill a woman if they believe she had an affair. http://www.dawn.com/2011/03/08/rape-victims-denied-justice-in-pakista.html

"Welsh police report forced marriage cases at an all-time high."

Could it be that Moslem population is also at an all-time high? Nah. What would that have to do with it?
Wales has a population of ca. 3 million, about 5% of the U.K. total, so if the rates are consistent across the whole country, that's ca. 1200 for the whole U.K.

I was very sorry to read that your graduate (high school? college?) son has been brainwashed by lie-filled political correctness concerning the Mohammedans.

Hopefully with age he will come to his senses.

A useful report (pdf):

"Crimes of the Community: Honour-based violence in the UK"

Ch 2: Forced Marriage.

[Extract]:

"most workers in
women’s refuges say that the majority of people who use
their services to escape an arranged marriage are Pakistani." (page 9.)

*** 33:21 ***

Almost a thousand women were raped in Pakistan during 2010 while more than 2,000 were abducted and almost 1,500 murdered, according to the Aurat Foundation.

Somehow I think these numbers are way low. In that hell-hole a female must be quite reluctant to report a forcible rape.

9 yr old boys, too.

OT from T.O.
Your son needs de-programming and I see that you are trying to do it. He should start by making a one-month serious effort to inform himself. If he hasn't changed by then, he is whistling in no-man's-land.

The "peace" of Islam at work again.

If you continue to live in the stone age, perhaps you should move back to a stone age country.

To be fair, the BBC did provide a "veiled" reference that the forced marriages were in the community of the religion of peace.

Ch Supt Neil Kinrade of South Wales Police is quoted as saying "I think it's less of a problem here than perhaps places like Bradford....."

The comparison with Bradford in West Yorkshire is akin to a comparison with Dearborn MI.

Rauf lies so much I wonder how he manages to lie straight in bed at night.

This creep should be locked up in Gitmo instead of spiraling out of control on TV.

Forced marriage cases at an all-time high...this will be broken next year and the year after that. It will continue to increase util people in the west wake the f&23K up.

Many women don't report these things to the police. If they are given a place in a women's refuge, thanks to their Muslim friendly policy, Muslim police officers then tell the husbands and families the whereabouts of the women. The women then "disappear."

I believe there were loads of moderate Germans in Germany in 1930's. NSDAP and Gestapo were just some radicals -"tiny minority of misguided poor marginalized people", weren't they? Yes they were in the beginning....

TO: Courreges W & Pokermutt & Nina, et al

Thank you all for your encouragement. I'll never stop.

Incidentally, for clarity I wasn't doing a 'poor me'. I simply expressed a likely common circumstance where somehow I/others lost a notion of the intensity of the direction with which our Universities propel our kids to take 'leftist multi-culti' turns (i.e we are not alone in loving our children and concurrently losing touch with their direction).

It seems also overdue to thank the many of you JW'ers who consistently express such amazing an erudite understanding of the death cult. All very encouraging knowing we may be a minority, yet due to your efforts many more are aware than just a few years ago.


WE ARE AT WAR!

SSL, I'm sorry to hear about your son.

As unequipped as our generation has been to fight Jihad—where most of us learned next to nothing about Islam—we have still been in a better situation than our children, so many of which are getting a steady diet of Muslim apologia in school.

At least he'll be getting good guidance from his parents. It might take a while, but I hope your kid wises up eventually.

Europe and Great Britain are sure facing the consequences of letting all of these Muslims into their countries. If they were assimilating it would be different, but it is as if they never want to leave their homelands and try to create them in Europe and Britain and elsewhere.

I think they should be forced to go back to their home countries if they are not willing to live under democracy and the law of the land they are living in.

The governments of these countries are stupid to allow this kind of thing to occur.
