    The video is about debunking robinson's tendentious claim that '90% of grooming gangs are muslims, and muslims make up 4% of the population' - it's more like 90% of 1.5% of paedophilia, so nowhere near the percentage of muslims in britain like he claims. (not to mention the fact that the definition of grooming gangs is dodgy in itself and misses out lots of other similar abuse (seemingly on purpose))

    I wouldn't deny the terrible behaviour of paedophiles that are muslim, or even some toxic cultural elements from some male pakistanis (which aren't inherent to islam anyway), just want to put the figures in the proper context - robinson uses these wrong figures to push hatred of muslims and pakistanis in general which is just not right, morally or statistically.

    To push the idea that islam is inherently a source of paedophilia while not making the same claim for the catholic church is suspiciously one-sided (i'd say neither are).
