UK - Police Scared of Muslim Gangs

In a three page article describing how political correctness has gotten out of hand in the UK, resulting in the Police being too afraid to arrest Muslims, The Times (UK) misses the irony in its own reporting. Here's their headline:

Sarwar: police too scared of Asian gangs


And throughout the article the Times continues to call them Asian gangs and not Muslim gangs.

THE Macpherson report into the murder of Stephen Lawrence has led to a politically correct backlash with police afraid to investigate black and Asian crime for fear of being accused of racism, according to one of Britain’s most prominent Muslim MPs.

Mohammad Sarwar, the Labour MP for Glasgow Central, said some communities are being terrorised by black and Asian gangs, but, in many cases, police have failed to act.

The reluctance of police to tackle ethnic criminals has allowed gangs to operate with impunity in areas of Scotland, the north of England and parts of London.

Sarwar claims that black and Asian communities are as much the victims of this criminal activity as white people and he wants police forces to use a zero-tolerance approach to smash the gangs.


It would seem political correctness has also infected the Times.
