I stopped reading at the "oil and water don't mix" comment in the introduction.

I find that there are interesting parallels behind the reports of murder of babies and snuff films and similar allegations that have been levelled against various other groups historically - the Satanic panic, the blood libel etc.

No point in you posting really is there? This thread is about a report that you didn't bother to read.

This is truly horrific..I hardly have words. But also the lack of traction on here. Why?

I see posters on here daily, almost constantly..they live their lives on here they post so much i wonder if they ever leave the house. Not on here though.

And, almost certainly if this was white working class men they would be all over it.

Because people don’t want to admit that diversity isn’t our strength and different cultures and religions hold different beliefs and values to us in this country.

Yes. They still believe the worst thing you could be called is "racist"

Will the BBC report on it now?

They understandably have to be very careful regarding this; public speculation and opinion over social media can be exceptionally damaging, especially over very sensitive topics like this, which can be very emotive.

The Nicola Bully case was very different to this one, and just look at the damage public speculation caused there; the authorities had to disclose sensitive information to stop public speculation and prevent harm to the investigation and the immediate family members and friends of Nicola, something which should never have happened if the public hadn't behaved the way they did.

Sometimes it has to happen to protect the review process and to prevent the process from being deviated, and to minimise harm from public speculation, where the public just don't have the facts to make a sound and rational judgment, just (and quite understandably) a very angry emotional one.

This thread is extremely slow going when you consider the subject matter. I can’t believe more people on here aren’t appalled by this either.

In my opinion, different cultures can absolutely mix but as you say, not when fundamental values are so different. Any religion that believes that their doctrine is above the law of the land whilst simultaneously promotes violence and abuse against women has no place here

Yep. That poster read three whole words they didn’t like and decided not to bother. Couldn’t even skip past that part to read some of the victims testimonies.
