The video is 11 minutes and 39 second. I'm posting this simply because I've seen some people here suggest that this sort of thing is a myth or rare occurrence etc. and not only do I disagree but I think Western tolerance aka "Political Correctness" has run its course.

And this still seems to fail logically speaking: the fact of certain groups doing this in a majority in certain areas doesn't follow that one should make sweeping claims about people associated tangentially with the group (Muslims from those countries that migrated to America rather than Europe)

So, none of the first 5 responses on this important topic actually comment on the content of the video. That's disappointing.

Thanks for voicing my unspoken disappointment.

Sargon is not going to let this kind of Denial go, was going to post his new video on it, but with him cussing (for good reasons) I probably shouldn't given the site standards etc.

There are certainly different standards extant in relation to videos offered up on forums. The differences between these standards is substantial in some regards. I'm not sure if this is related to age, political persuasion, religious inclination, education, or some other factor. In the hope that it may offer you a means of increasing the views of videos you might most in future, here is why I do not intend - currently - to view the one in the OP.

There are a great many excellent, informative, educational videos out there. Unfortunately their numbers are far exceeded by those that are misleading, deceitful, inaccurate, simply wrong, filled with nonsense, self-contradictory, incoherent, incomprehensible, biased, agenda driven, or some combination of the foregoing. Consequently I require some sound reasons to invest (and possibly waste) the time to view any video.

First, I expect the courtesy of being provided some information about the video. Thank you for telling me how long it lasts. That's important. But I would also like to know who the author is. The only Sargon of Akkad I know has been dead and buried these many centuries, so a one sentence capsule history of his "succcessor" would be useful.

Now you mention grooming gangs. That suggests the probable subject of the video, but it is ambiguous. Grooming gangs have been an issue in a handful of UK cities, but I notice you are from the US. Perhaps there is a totally different situation there. Why, these gangs you refer to may even be groups of horse lovers who break into stables armed with curry combs! Clarification would have been welcome.

Finally - and most important - a one or two paragraph of the argument presented in the video would let me decide if this is something I will benefit from viewing.

I am sure you intended no discourtesy in failing to meet the standards I set myself, but I am also sure that were I equally lax it would be a discourtesy on my part, so I find it off-putting.

While this will not contribute anything to your aims for the thread I hope it might be of use to you in future.

The video is about the many child rape gangs that have been operating in many towns and cities in the UK. The vast majority of perpetrators have been Pakistani Muslims. The authorities have been afraid to pursue cases for fear of being accused of racism.
Sargon is excellent at presenting facts and reasoned arguements. I highly recommend his videos.
