I guess in this situation it would be like a group of white European paedophiles referred to as Christian paedophiles which never happens, lets be honest
I can't help feel to an extent it does stem from religion in the sense that women are not equals in the Muslim faith which then bleeds into culture family life. How do you expect people to respect women if their whole belief system is telling them that women are less than men.
