"Reaksjonene har vært forutsigbare. Med en politisk korrekthet av verste sort har mange på venstresida tydd til alle slags strategier for å bortforklare hendelsene, for det meste med generaliseringer: Gjerningspersonenes opphavsland- og region har blitt forsøkt uvesentliggjort, det har blitt påstått at dette ikke handler om etnisitet og religion, men om menns dominans over kvinner, og det har blitt satt spørsmålstegn ved med hvilken moralsk rett overgriperne kan anklages når hvite vestlige menn begår den samme type handlinger. Er det mulig å forestille seg en mer effektiv måte å rydde veien for innvandringsfiendtlige populister som utnytter vanlige folks bekymringer på?
Dette er ikke våre ord, men en forsiktig bearbeiding av det den slovakiske marxisten Slavoj Zizek skreiv etter de tilsvarende britiske hendelsene i artikkelen «Mulitkulturalismens grenser», gjengitt i Le Monde diplomatique oktober 2014. I den engelske byen Rotherham ble 1400 barn brutalt seksuelt utnyttet av pakistanske gjenger i perioden 1997 til 2013. Barn helt ned til elleveårsalderen ble voldtatt, bortført, truet og slått av gjengmedlemmene. Flere granskingsrapporter avslørte groteske forhold som at barn ble dynket i bensin og truet med å bli påtent, truet med pistoler og tvunget til være vitne til brutale voldtekter."

economic problem plaguing the world's developing and emerging
economies, said GFI President Raymond Baker, a longtime authority on
financial crime. These outflows already greater than the combined sum
of all FDI and ODA flowing into these countries are sapping roughly a
trillion dollars per year from the world's poor and middle-income
economies.
Alan Gilbert: "The description in James Risen's New York Times article yesterday - below - of the desperate meeting of the psychologist/torturers in the US 'intelligence" apparatus with the leadership of the APA following the released photographs about Abu
Ghraib and trying to hide the obvious is hilarious - these are the keystone cops of "intelligence" - though the light this meeting casts on a kind of pseudo-neutral, "value-free" "professionalism" in the social sciences (political science as well) which serves the Pentagon and the CIA is anything but."
