Of course the true meaning of the word Asian with respect to people,would mean the people of the continent of Asia which a hugely greater group !
So then,in the UK,references to Asians could generally be read to mean Pakistani and not the wider group of Asian peoples since Pakistani Asians form the vast majority of the UK population sub group.
So then,what then is the link between Asian and Muslim? One might as well say British and Protestant !
There is no link. The media would have us believe that all "Asians" are also Muslims by default. Whilst i accept that there are probably a greater proportion of the faithfull within the Asian population than in the indigenious non Asian population, we cannot assume that Asian/Pakistani = Muslim.
I am not saying that Muslims are involved in Heroin Trafficking. What I am saying is that Asians are involved in Heroin Trafficking. Whether they are Muslim or not is of no consequence to me.
Now then-Heroin trafficking to the UK-Well as i say ,there is no shortage of criminal cases involving Asians (the narrower group) and the trafficking of Heroin.

Fair enough, you've done well and argued that only some of this sector of population are involved.

There have been Asian and Bangladeshi businesses in this country which are merely legitimate looking fronts for the importation of Heroin.

Oh dear now it seems like we should be suspicious about a large number rather than only some.
Can we try to avoid over generalised statements please?
