Suggesting that the attitude of many Muslim men towards women is unhealthy, to say the least, is not racism! It's an honest observation! And that a level of equality is what is expected in a democratic society. thats ok if you can speculatively quote the Koran?

Quoting religious texts wouldn't reflect well on any of the major religions, I suspect. Leviticus, anyone?

Back to the OP I think we need to take care with taking a few recent media stories and treating it as empirical evidence. We all know that the media choose which stories to publish, and how prominent they make them...
True, a few of the most shocking recent stories seem to have involved Asian men but it's not like the Asian's have a monopoly on organised abuse of the vulnerable is it?
Jimmy Saville, Catholic priests anyone?
I think looking at it through a cultural/religious lens is unhelpful and probably misleading. At the end of the day abusive behaviour by ANYONE is the problem...
