mj.scuba Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 The articles I read on the BBC website described them as 'Asians' not muslims, some people argue that it was not relevant to describe them as such because it was 'stereotyping'. The issue I have is that some would prefer them not to be described as such for fear of upsetting 'Asians' and those who prefer the media etc to be 'politically correct' in which case it is bordering on censorship ! It is only natural to be descriptive, so why should people be subject to criticism for describing things as they see fit ? The trouble is, because they've been falling over themselves not to offend one particular group (they won't use the M word), they've ended up causing offence to my other people that also fall into the same group (Asian).

It is only natural to be descriptive, so why should people be subject to criticism for describing things as they see fit ? These media sources didn't see fit to describe these unsavoury creatures as white or Christian, perhaps because it was irrelevant to their offending behaviour. "Paedophiles jailed for porn ring" http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/1168112.stm or this one: "worst internet paedophile" http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/8022957/Warning-to-parents-as-worst-ever-internet-paedophile-jailed.html or this one "Paedophile Jailed After Sky News Sting" http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/UK-News/Paedophile-Simon-Beard-Sentenced-For-Grooming-A-Minor-For-Sex-Over-The-Internet/Article/201008115678299 Maybe they're all Muslims, but something they definitely have in common with the Asian/Muslim paedophiles is that they used grooming techniques to snare their victims.

spindrift Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Read Michael_W's post I was replying too then read my reply Yep, Michael said the media avoid using the word "muslim" when describing these cases, you agreed with him, and I've just demonstrated you're both talking rubbish, the men WERE described in the media as muslims, although the judge made it clear in the sentencing that they weren't devote mosque-goers. So you're wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point being though bf, is if they had, would they have been criticised for doing so ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're wrong. I did not say the media avoid using the word muslim at all, I said the articles I read on the BBC website described them as Asian, please read again and admit you were WRONG !!

So you're wrong. No Michael_W didn't say "the media", Spindrift telling lies again. This is what Michael_W wrote, you can see the original post above. He said the BBC website, which is what I was replying to, so stop fabricating your lies. The articles I read on the BBC website described them as 'Asians' not muslims Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
