Not All Sicilians

Wife kitteh's first husband was Sicilian. If I recall correctly, his parents were first generation. They still have close ties to Sicily.

Some of his family members were in organized crime, mostly running gambling rings and other minor odds and ends. Everyone in the community knew who the Big Tuna was and what he did.

Now dig this description of just a sliver of the horrors and moral cowardice of the industrial-scale gang-rape of white British girls that has been going on for over a decade in England.

Social workers were intimidated into silence. Local police ignored, excused, and even abetted pedophile rapists across dozens of cities. Senior police and Home Office officials deliberately avoided action in the name of maintaining what they called “community relations.” Local councilors and Members of Parliament rejected pleas for help from the parents of raped children. Charities, NGOs, and Labour MPs accused those who discussed the scandal of racism and Islamophobia. The media mostly ignored or downplayed the biggest story of their lifetimes. Zealous in their incuriosity, much of Britain’s media elite remained barnacled to the bubble of Westminster politics and its self-serving priorities.

Among the Sicilians, everyone in the community knew who the Big Tuna was and what he did. The Big Tuna and his buds ran the numbers racket out of the back of their dry cleaning business. They didn't organize the gang-rape of thousands of girls.

One night in Oldham in 2006, for example, a 12-year-old girl named “Sophie” entered a police station and reported that she had just been molested in a graveyard by a man named “Ali.” A desk officer told her to come back with an adult when she was sober. Two men accosted her in the police station. Joined by a third, they raped her in their car. When they dumped her on the street, she asked a man named Sarwar Ali for directions. He took her to his home, raped her, and gave her money for bus fare home. A man named Shakil Chowdhury pulled up in his car and offered to take her home. He abducted her and took her to a house where he and four other men repeatedly raped her.

It beggars the imagination to suggest that Muslim men raping 200,000 white British girls over more than a decade was concealed from the Muslim community. If it wasn't concealed from the journalists, the politicians and law enforcement, it most certainly didn't come as a surprise to the Muslims themselves. Those white girls must have stuck out like sore thumbs in the Muslim sections of town.

In any army, the majority of the members are not in combat arms. Most of them work in logistics, transportation, administration, maintenance and other support roles.

I guess we shouldn't judge a military based solely on the actions of the few guys who pull the triggers.

It's unjust and bigoted to suggest that she has any awareness of the artillery barrage going on at the front.

Bonus Data Point

So the cops knew, but the next-door neighbors didn't?

Did you know the police shut down two operations that identified a disproportionate number of Pakistani Muslims engaged in organized crime for fear of being called racist. Baldy and Crazy were two of those scumbags.

I'm in Cornwall at the moment but can send you details when I…
