Stupid, Failed Police Strategy of Trying to Curry Favour With Muslim Community Leaders (So They'd Help Stop the Jihad) Implicated in the Rot in Rotherham

Jonathan Foreman writes:
So much attention has been paid to the troubling role of political correctness and multiculturalism on one side, and bigotry, misogyny, and anti-white racism on the other that it’s easy to miss another factor in the failure to confront “grooming.” That factor is the essential but largely unspoken element of the UK’s  counterterrorism strategy, which is premised on cultivating key figures in certain communities, even if that means making unsavory compromises. Put simply, in order to get information on potential jihadist terrorists, government authorities have tried to curry favor with selected Muslim community leaders by turning a blind eye to various morally abhorrent or illegal practices. 
Abandoning low-status white girls to the cruelties of local sex traffickers is arguably only one disturbing manifestation of this policy. Muslim women and girls have also been deprived of the equal protection of the law in order to win the support of elders and self-appointed leaders whom the authorities foolishly believed might help them root out young jihadists.
It did no such thing, of course. All it did was allow a great evil to go unchallenged for far too long, thereby leaving, writes Forman, "a moral stain on the nation that may be impossible to remove."
