When the abuse scandal in the Catholic Church was exposed, there was massive public outcry from Catholics.
But with Pakistani-Muslim grooming gangs, I’ve seen hardly any Muslims condemn the atrocities committed by their own.
“But It’s not all Muslims”
Yes, like it wasn’t all Catholics.
But they still condemned the actions of the minority and accepted the failings that were enabled and covered-up by members of their community.
In fact, there was widespread disgust and demands for swift justice on behalf of the victims. Pedophile priests were prosecuted and church leaders ousted for facilitating abuse.
Yet, I’ve seen Muslims trying to blame the victims, suggest that their “lifestyle” or decisions caused the abuse, downplay the scale of grooming gangs, or even simply claim Islamophobia.
Why does accountability apply to everyone except one demographic? Why could other religions condemn the evil perpetrated by members of their faith but it’s “racist” to expect the Muslim community to do the same?
Why?
@CityPowerJhb BS….. not suspected, power is out! Let me guess.. the team need overtime money for Christmas and have simply flicked the switch and will again take 2 days to “locate the fault”

Just as our government seeks peace in Ukraine, it must pay at least similar attention to the tasks of delivering policing, facilitating jobs, and thereby creating social harmony and peace in South Africa. #Echobox=1686978124" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">dailymaverick.co.za/opinionista/20…
@MyJRA pls help to fix these 3 craters. Eastwood ave, Randpark Ridge(closest Beyers Naude) entrance to Flamingo pointe complex. Just seen delivery guy fall off bike hitting one of these.
@WOOLWORTHS_SA changing room situation at clearwater is pathetic. Men need to walk across store to try clothes cause u cant use the Trenery/Country cause u aren’t buying brands?Obviously people buying brand are more valued than those buying plain Woolworths brand.
@JHBWater@CityofJoburgZA come on… water gushing out in two places on Dale lace (Scott and Benguela, Randpark Ridge) reported last night but just drove past and no one on site??!!
@wimpy_sa come on… time to open all the kids play areas at the various petrol stations along the N1 to CT. After 8 hours in a car, kids need a break too!!
So people must drive to the office, in this rain, through load shedding, with the price of petrol going up, just because companies need to build their “gees” back up again post-Covid. We really have wasted the last two years of our lives if we’re trying to go back to that shit.
@ADvTECHGroup this isn’t ok!! We have spoken 2 Trinity house Randpark Ridge about this for years, yet they continue to park buses at 4:45 against our wall,which is by my bedroom .. there is an open parking at the front of school… park there?? School ignores calls, pls help!
