There is a huge difference between your vicar and an imam.
The imams have a vast influence in their community......therefore the power to influence the male population.
They aren't just religious leaders they are respected in their community and are seen as wise.
The muslim religion is different too.....the children are inculcated(some would say brainwashed) into the dogmas of the faith as soon as they can talk....some would say, as soon as they are born as the newborn child has a prayer whispered into its ear as soon as possible after it is born.
Granny I know what you are saying, but it still doesn't excuse the men......they(in lots of cases) drugged or plied the girls with alcohol so that they couldn't resist, they isolated them from any friends and family that they might have, and then they used threats and intimidation in order to sexually abuse the girls.......and this is a very serious situation.
It has been going on for a number of years.......the LET highlighted it a couple of years ago and still it is happening.
It is not before time that Jack Straw has woken up to this fact.
