THis is the first time that I can recall in mainstream media (radio talk shows, 'normal' people expressing their views) that gild grooming and rape is a common problem in this community. I am not referring to myths within the far right.

Because one of them was a "religious teacher" does not mean he understood what he was teaching or the religion he was teaching should be labelled as promoting these acts.. There have been religious leaders in ALL religions who have abused their power/position.
We could go around and around spending hours discussiing religion - so I really don't want to go down that route. The point I am trying to make is that there has been a huge slant on the religion and the community, and an emphasis on this being a racist crime, somehow justified by religion and culture. And I do not think that is the case or how it should be reported/portrayed.
