No thanks, by all means have an ideological debate on Islam or cultural factors, but not if he is going round as a senior MP with soundbites like Pakistanis are rapists. Imagine how that makes a decent self respecting Pakistani Mullah feel, one who will never sit next to a woman or shake her hand? And its people like him who will influence the next generation of Jihadis.
Where has he actually said ALL Pakistani's are ALL rapists?
Straw said: "Pakistanis are not the only people who commit sexual offences and overwhelmingly sex offenders' wings are full of white offenders.
"But there is a specific problem which involves Pakistani heritage men who target vulnerable young white girls
He merely advocated a SUBSET of Pakistani men. And there is clear social issues as play (i.e. young Pakistani men are forced to be incels before marriage, cannot mix with Pakistani women, view English people outside of their boundary to be respected and all combined we end up with growing cases like this). And to be quite frank, I will be honest that many Bengali second generations are thankful they aren't born in to the far harsher Pakistani culture. Pakistani parents are far more likely to force their kids into marriage than Bengali ones who give more of an introduction. I mean no offence, only a generalisation by pure analysis. As a result, I don't think it is a coincidence that a
SUBSET of second generation Pakistani men are more likely to end up in this type of crime than say Indian, Bengali or Arab men. These are necessary facts in order to resolve these issues with the Pakistani community.
And to argue that Jihadis will be born out of Jack Straw's comments - come on now, are you really saying that Jihadis are going to think, "That Jack Straw, because he insulted Pakistani second generations (because they abused white girls), I'm going to blow up a part of London" - then I think this is incredible because you're saying their a senior politician cannot pass comment son ANY FACTS based on a subset of people because it may lead to a nutjob terrorist.
We need to get out of this culture that, "You can't do thing in case it upsets a Jihadi". You can't ban the burka because it will upset a jihadi. You can't depict Mohammed because it might upset a Jihadi. You can't ban Sharia Law because it might upset a Jihadi. Look, these Jihadi's don't deserve the right to not be offended. The value system of the UK (implemented by law and order) should come before offending Jihadis. "Oh but what if these Jihadis blow you up in London tomorrow" - well quite frankly there is so much going on enough anyway I don't see how appeasing Jihadis will make any difference. Keep up the intelligence work and foil their plots, while curbing the deterioration of developed values in society I think is the best way forward - if politicians have the spine.
