@margot, its pretty obvious why. It is like a game of top trumps. Not speaking out against the appalling attitude of extremist and ignorant muslims against women is trumped by not wanting to be seen as racist. The left are hypocritical wankers who have a name for everyone that does not agree with them, be it racist, mysoginist, bigot, islamaphobe etc. Consequently nobody is able to have a proper debate on these issues without being branded. They are a joke and a disgrace as well as abandoning their traditional voters. The last paragraph in this article sums up exactly why the left should never get a sniff of power ever again, even if it does mean having the tories.

frankly I am more concerned about the Paki murders and rapes of indigenous white girls.

Since when has 'the left' been quiet over 'honour' killings? Oh, you mean the liberal 'I've got my career to consider' pretend-left? 'The left' has also never been quiet over the vicious idiocy of all religions, unlike the liberal pretend-left.

"Shafilea had warned that her parents were trying to marry her off to Pakistan"

What? The whole of Pakistan? Is that technically possible? Or is 'Pakistan' here used as shorthand for an oppressive and undesirable existence? A bit of a lazy and biased generalisation...what might in other circumstances be referred to as bigoted, racist even.
That said, I'm pretty sure I know what Sunny means...and I don't even disagree. I just think its a tad hypocritical that he should get away with it when it's precisely the kind of thing he'd normally jump on with sanctimonious glee. Mind you, his whole 'courageous stance' is precisely the sort of thing that he's been using to try to smear the likes of Nick Cohen as a bigot for years.
I applaud his change of heart but if he's doing any more than bowing to the inevitable, he really should fess up that he's been a major player in the 'left's' complicity for years. The quotes, incidentally are an indication that I don't regard the left as guilty; rather the deluded alliance of liberal idiots who like to style themselves 'left wing' cos they like the brand. No doubt now Sunny's come out against it, we'll see a flood of other useful idiots do likewise...I bet Laurie Penny et al will jump on the bandwagon, after a deafening silence on such issues in the past. It's a step in the right direction but not one that should pass without taking note of the appalling past hypocrisy of those involved.

Unfortunately, no-one dares to bring the subject up, because they will immediately be labelled a racist. The first to jump up and point the finger will be Keith Vaz.

Until we are allowed to debate the whole issue of immigration and multi-culturalism without this accusation, then this kind of murder - for that is what it is - will continue, alongside other culturally acceptable crimes, as witnessed in Rotherham recently.

A good article that nails it pretty much on the head. It falls down a bit at the end though when dealing with a strategy to deal with the problem. Sunny Hundal talks of integration but then says this:

I'm not calling for a sneering attitude that says, "if you want to be British, you have to integrate into our way of life".

If you drop the sneering attitude, what else is wrong with saying the above?
