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