Government To Ban Forced Marriages
Both The Times and The Guardian are saying that the Government is to ban forced marriage. The report in the latter is here. This is the first paragraph.
PM to announce whether forcing someone to marry should be outlawed amid speculation it could carry jail term.
We should have had this law in place several years ago.
Some might thing that The Times is particularly anti-Muslim today, as in addition, it has a leader very critical of Rotherham Council about covering up a report about the grooming of young girls by men of Pakistani origin and a report about Muslim thuggery in Whitemoor Prison.
I don’t.
All of these abuses must be removed from this country and I support those devout Muslims, who are working to that end.

I completely agree. Both forced marriage or child abuse are against teaching of Islam, as are many other things. I would go as far as to day that Muslims who carry these practices are inviting racial hatred because they are causing
non-Muslims to hate Muslims.

Absolutely. But in this area of London most Muslins seem to be much more integrated. At the Jubilee for instance, there were several women wearing Union Flags as head scarves. You’ll also see groups of young women, where there are several races and religions amongst obvious friends. I could give a lot more examples. Although go to the east of London and relations may not be as good.
