That being the case how can someone state most crime in the area is caused by British born Muslims on the basis of news reports? The answer is, if course, they can't.

Except when they report on a census - I know for a fact that the Western Mail produced a report about 2 years ago which showed how much crime was commited/reported in the South Wales area when the purportator was British born along with their ethnic 'status' whether Muslim, white European etc.
It's quite maddening that I can't find the link but I'll keep looking.
