UK: Sikhs and Hindus complain about media use of "Asian" to describe Muslims

These crimes are not race-based, as Hindu and Sikh girls were victimized along with "white" girls. They were religion-based: preying on non-Muslim girls as sex slaves is in accord with Islamic law. But the British press, like the American press completely unwilling to examine the root causes of this kind of behavior within Islam and to challenge the Muslim community about it, fastidiously and inaccurately terms the perpetrators "Asian" rather than "Muslim." And now, finally, non-Muslim Asians have had enough of this defamation.

"Complaints over use of 'Asian' label in grooming cases," from the BBC, May 16 (thanks to Pamela Geller):

Groups representing Sikh and Hindu communities have complained about the term "Asian" being used to describe the men involved in grooming trials.

Earlier this month, nine men were jailed for being part of a sex ring in Rochdale which groomed girls for sex.

The groups said the men involved were "almost always of Pakistani origin" and the term "Asian" was inaccurate.

The Ramadan Foundation has said grooming is "a significant problem for the British Pakistani community".

The joint statement was released by the Network of Sikh Organisations UK, The Hindu Forum of Britain, and The Sikh Media Monitoring Group UK.

It says the reluctance of the media and the government to discuss the "disproportionate representation of Muslims in such cases" and the fact victims are "almost always non-Muslim girls" is adding to the cause of far-right groups such as the BNP.

Yes, let's all agree not to tell the truth so that the wrong people don't capitalize upon it.

It said blanket use of the word "Asian" was "unfair to other communities of Asian origin".

"We believe that in this case the government itself is sanctioning the use of term Asian as a way of clouding responsibility," the groups say.

The groups say sex gangs have targeted Hindu and Sikh girls but the cases are rarely reported as they seldom reach the courts.

The statement says: "We believe that political correctness stifles debate and will not facilitate a frank and mature discussion or solutions to get to the root of why the above pattern is emerging in these crimes and how to help find a solution to the problem.

"We will not be able to do that if we mask the identity of those involved based on misguided views of 'protecting a vulnerable community' of the perpetrators and not looking at the vulnerable community of victims."

It's about time. This has gone on for far too long. Of course, I can't discuss this because I'm a whitey and my views don't count - I have been waiting for the right person, ie an Asian - to make a fuss.

Japanese, Chinese, South Koreans, Taiwanese, Singaporeans. Filipinos... every asian should speak up against this BS, trying to label them and pedohammedans with the same etiquette. What can you expect from the socialist Euro media?.

I heard about this a while back that the UK guys stack up all Asians together. I am a little surprised it has taken a long while for these communities to speak out. I hope they press the Government into action to do something about the media's disproportionate biasing in the favor of the Pakistani Muslim community.

That's barge pole material.

You don't want to be connected to that.


And besides in places like Pakistan - it would be the Hindu and likely Sikh girls who would be raped, kidnapped and forcibly married [converted to Islam] - all with the blessing of the Pakistani state and judiciary.


Over there everyone is 'Asian' - but as was starting to happen in the UK - Muslims [men] are given priority under Pakistani law.


The media will probably have to find another term.

I'm sure they'll think of something - look at the creative way they have worked to portray Islam in the news.

Mosques' advice: 'don't report abusive husbands’

To confuse the issue in Australia, the PC correct media now omits a description, while the PC incorrect media still uses the term "of Middle Eastern or Mediterranean appearance;" a synonym for a Muslim who is often Lebanese. Now it seems that it's more important to protect our "vulnerable and persecuted" Muslim community than find the perpetrators of home invasions, violent assaults, robberies, carjackings, drive by shootings and the sexual predations that are now daily occurrences that make life unbearable for the rest of the "multicultural community". As if anyone would confuse a bearded thug with an Italian, Greek or Spaniard. I note that recently, violent knife assaults of people in cars are described as as "road rage" incidents.

Given that most Brtish Asians are law abiding non-Muslims, it is unfair to lump them with the 'religion of peace' criminals.
The Orwellian lamestream media will have to find another politcal correct term for Muslims who wreak havoc in the name of their devilish hate cult.

And...it would be just as offensive to refer to muslims here in the USA as "Americans..."

Finally some law-abiding Asians have noticed they are getting poor treatment being lumped in with Muslim criminals.

In India it is called " Love Jihad" and common among Wahabi induced Muslims to convert Christian and Hindu girls by making them falling in love.

Meryl, most of the groups you name are tiny to non-existent in Britain. We have a Chinese community, but outside of the university campuses, not enough Japanese, Korean, Taiwanese, Singaporeans or Filipinos to amount to a significant community voice.

"Asian" traditionally means "from the Indian sub-continent". More recently, there have been immigrants from the Middle East - Arabs, Turks, Persians, etc. However, in popular speech, people still thinnk of "Asian" as "Indian".

It's clear that Britain hosts three basic groups of people from India. There are a few additional groups but, again, they are tiny. There are only three groups that are large enough to coordinate a community voice.

It sounds as if two of those groups are talking about the third.

Absolutely! I have posted on many sites protesting at the use of the term 'Asian' to describe these muslim paedophile rape gangs. Asians, apart from muslims, do not carry out these outrageous crimes. Whether white, black or brown the one single common denominator is that they are muslims. The media are not that stupid - they know - but political correctness dictates that they cannot say 'muslims' in connection with any crime. This is simply moral cowardice and does nothing to solve the problem. Meantime, muslims and their dhimmi supporters are coming up with all manner of ways to show that the perpetrators, the paedophiles, are the victims and the child victims are the criminals. Sikhs, Hindus and any other non-muslims ( 'kuffars' ) are just as vulnerable and just as likely to be victims as Christians. Non-muslim Asians really do need to start speaking up about this travesty - it is not a racial problem - it is a muslim problem - now, which part of that do the media and government and police not understand?

I too have long wondered why British Hindus and Sikhs never complained before. There were once those leaflets going around the local ummah describing how to nail Sikh girls, and others encouraging the conversion of Hindu girls as well.

Incidentally, what does 'grooming' mean here? Never heard that word used in the above context.

The Network of Sikh Organisations UK, The Hindu Forum of Britain, and The Sikh Media Monitoring Group UK should put aside their differences w/ the BNP and close ranks w/ it.

Unfortunately, the traditional problem with the BNP has been its hostility to all non-white and/or non-English-speaking immigrants. It is not Hindus and Sikhs who have a problem with indigenous Britons - it is the BNP that has a problem with Hindus and Sikhs.

Maybe that's changed? We can only hope.

The media is protecting its profits from jihad. They know the Muslim world will gladly seek revenge for any criticism of Islam or Mohammad or of any Muslim, and they want to prevent any damage to property or abuse of personnel they might have to pay for. It is amazing that the Leftist Liberal (supremacist) elitist seem to think they will hold on to their wealth if the global jihad succeeds. They do not seem to realize that jizya (tribute extracted by Muslims) has historically been 50 percent of non-Muslim wealth. When jizya is systematically extracted, Leftist Liberal elitists will be the loudest whiners and belly-achers and will demand everyone do something (for them).

It’s common to lump all people together under one name. in India any white looking person is called aungrazi or English meaning white. Sometimes even white looking Indians are called this until it becomes known that they aren’t. any person who with Chinese features including Indians are called chin or Chinese.

The muslims have hi-jacked the description of Asian to as to hide their muslim background. The description of asian covers many groups including Russians, Chinese, Vietnamese, Indians, Iranians, and so on. I am glad that Indian and Sikhs are standing up against this. We want sny scts of terror and criminality by the muslims to be recognized as being committed by muslims or asian muslims.

actually Goereg, we should catagorize mulims three way:

1- law obiding american muslims who go about their business and they are mot a threat.

2-Jihadists american muslims generally imported, who plant bombs, suicide bombers etc. they are just looking for 72 virgins by murdering innocent people. this froup however should be the least of our worries, as our intellengt and counter intellegene agencies for most part doing a great job of keeping them out.

3- stealth jihadists american muslims such as cair and reza asla. now they are the biggest threat to ur freedom. these people are highly educated, highly organized, well funded and in bed with politicians. you see George, my son as you know is a sniper in the marines. he can go and take a DB out. it takes alot more to take on the stealth jihadists.

Paul Weston's BFP has changed all that debris-from-the-past.


This is now the Code-word or PC-Speak in canada for our MSM because they fear the Human Rights Commissions that are pro-Shariah and will rake them over the coals, plus, after the failed mass-slaughter plot by a groups of Pakistani-canadian muslims awhile back that the MSM fears for their workers lives and fears bomb attacks on their buildings.

So the answer to solve terrosims is to appease the muslim thugs and not offend their thin-skin.
The other MSM self-censor is the jamaican violence and gang murders in Toronto because we all know now that when the Police put out a APB for a killer as non-white with an accent and the murder took place in little-Jamaica, it's code for another Black-2-Black drug deal gone bad.
The ex-mayor of Toronto tried to solve the crime problme in Black areas by building basket ball courts , but that fizzed out when a guy was shot on the Court because the killer knew where the punks were to be killed.
Typical solution from the wealthy white liberal leftists like David Miller who thought Blacks could be tricked into putting down their guns if they saw a basket ball bounce by them. Truely and amazing white-guilt racism that the mSM never calls to the carpet for insulting all Blacks in Toronto when we know it's a Jamaican problem not Afro-Canadian one.

It had to happen sometime.

Media "neutrality" exposed again.

We Brits have no complaints about Hindus and Sikhs. Their deities, while no more real than Allah, Jehovah or Jesus's dad, do not advocate jihad, killing, converting or subjugating to dhimmi status. They quietly go about their business without demanding special treatment. They are quite right to complain about the blanket term Asian. The groomers are Muslim. Repeat Muslim.

Finally! Yes, Chinese and other Confucians, Buddhists and taoists should join the protest, in the uk and Asia. Boycott the British media.

Ruslan Tokhchukov.

Hindus and Sikhs in the UK - and the quite significant community of people of Indian ethnicity, whether from Pakistan, Bengal or India proper, who are Christians - should be joining the British Freedom Party en masse; and their *men* should team up either with March For England or with the EDL (yes, the EDL, they are not anywhere near what they are painted, Esmerelda Weatherwax at New English Review has gotten to know quite a few of them and personally witnessed some of their little rallies in London, and she vouches for them), whenever there are rallies and marches, *especially* the recent rallies and marches to protest Mohammedan predation upon non-Muslim women in the UK, and to complain against the construction of mosques (in particular, there is a horrendous proposal for a monstrous mosque - basically, a vast military base for Tablighi Jamaat - in London, near the Olympic stadium.)

If there are parents'/ citizen organisations protesting specifically about the Mohammedan sex/rape/pedophile gangs, then Sikh and Hindu parents should form common cause with the native Anglo non-Muslims, and be seen. Hold up placards with the names of victimised daughters/ sisters/ cousins. **Be angry** loud and clear, right along with the native Brits. Pour it on hot and strong. If necessary, all the concerned mums and grandmas - white Anglo Britons, and Hindu and Sikh mums and grandmas in their full colourful traditional clothing - should hold a ladies' sit-in outside Parliament and refuse to move until they get some answers from the government. Or they could hold a sit-in outside BBC Headquarters, demanding some truth-telling about the identity and motives of the perps.

My suspicion is that if a large contingent of Gurkhas and Sikhs in traditional garb turned out on the street to reinforce the sturdy yeomanry of the EDL, whenever there is a rally, it would scare the Mohammedan mobsters absolutely sh*tless.

The very last thing the Mohammedans want - and the thing that I suspect they are trying very hard, in various nefarious ways, to prevent- is for *all* the different kinds of infidels in any given country to team up and act together against the Ummah.

Have a read of their policies and see what you think.

If the UK media's terminology were really based on multicultural principle, they wouldn't victimize Sikhs and Hindus and other Asians just to provide cover for Muslims. So if multicultural principles of noble intent are not the motivator of the UK media terminology, what is? Pure terror of 1) being attacked physically and otherwise by Muslims and 2) being thought xenophobes or racists. Much of the UK media richly deserve contempt for surrendering to this terminology that protects only their own hides at the expense of minority Hindus, Sikhs, and other non-Muslim Asians.

But it's also been disgusting to find for years now that even the best of the resistance to Islam in the UK -- the anti-racist resistance to Islam -- frequently yields to this idiotic terminology of "whites" as against "Asians." That is precisely the way Islamic totalitarianism wants this situation framed. Why are you adopting the enemy's terminology? This is not about race, it's about Muslims against non-Muslims. If non-Muslims of all shades fail to unite in defense of a free culture, the UK will lose what freedom it has left. You in the UK should get it through your skulls, please, this is not about "Asians" or "whites"!
