[Margaret Pilkington]

Our own attitudes and PC-ism have to be called into question too.
The police were too afraid of being labelled racist to pursue the cases with the vigour they deserved....they knew what was going on, but it was bad publicity for the muslim community......who also wanted it kept out of the public view.
Even now there are those in the muslim community who are in denial.
The MP Keith Vaz still says this was not a racist/ethnic crime....yet Trevor Phillips the head of the Racial Equality commission says that it is...only a coloured man could get away with saying that.
