So we've got to look at the reasons how it happened.

Now, it obviously, because it wasn't nipped in the bud, as we say in England, it grew.

And it grew from, I think, if you read our report, the fact that culturally,

we were a very high trust society.

And over thousands of years, we'd come to respect and honor women who are a big part of all of our culture.

Whereas I think if you read

Islam has a very different view of women and it treats them very differently.

And I never quite understand why the Me Too movement is so vocal about young white men treating women badly when it doesn't have anything to say about the way in which Islam treats its women and the fact that they are forced to cover up.

And if you read our report, you can see that culturally it is like trying to mix oil and water.

so so i didn't write that report to make any judgments or we didn't it's a collective effort it's not me it's it's a collection of very concerned people and very brave people and to your point earlier yes i it does come with personal risk i've had many death threats uh uh and uh you know taking on an issue like this which is probably linked to organized crime

It's certainly linked to rings of prostitution and it's big business.

So there's always money involved somewhere.

So yes, it's high risk, but I think if Britain is to repair itself, and I don't know to what extent it's happening in the US, but if Britain is to repair itself, we have to confront this evil and we have to deal with it and we have to

accept the fact it's been happening, and we have to have a frank, honest, Anglo-Saxon type debate about it.

That is the strength of your constitution.

It's the strength of our constitution.

Well, the majority of the perpetrators of the rape were of Muslim background from predominantly Pakistan and very often from one part of Pakistan called Mirpur.

But there were other perpetrators from Eritrea, from Somalia, from Bangladesh, from Afghanistan.

So look, I mean, it's predominantly an issue, we think, from doing our research with Pakistani Muslim men.

And by the way, it's not just girls who get raped, it's boys as well.
