First they were 'Asian' grooming gangs, then 'Pakistani'. But the most important thing to grasp is that almost all of them ? 87% of convictions ? are Muslim, says Mark Durie. This must not be covered up.

Al Qaeda in Iraq claimed responsibility for the attack and said it had kidnapped the chief of the Algerian mission in Baghdad earlier this week, according to an Internet statement in the name of the Abudal Azzam brigades in Syria and Egypt.
"Algeria rushed to obey the crusaders by sending its envoy to Iraq ... did you not learn from the fate of the ambassador of the Egyptian tyrant?" asked the statement on an Islamist Web site frequently used by the group led by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.
Algerian mission chief Ali Belaroussi and the diplomatic attache were snatched by gunmen in Baghdad on Thursday.
2 are arrested in Baghdad in connection with the kidnapping of the Algerian ambassador and his aide.
On Monday, al-Iraqiya TV broadcast part of an interview with Interior Minister Bayan Jabr, who referred to the detentions.
"More than 30 cars from the special security intelligence forces surrounded the place and they detained two related to the kidnapping," Jabr was qouted as saying by the AP. "They are now under investigation. We were expecting that we would find the Algerian ambassador there, but we found some related persons to the kidnapping."
Gen. Hussein Ali Kamal, a ministry security adviser, did not say who the suspects were nor when they were picked up in last week's abduction of Algeria's top envoy to Iraq, charge d'affaires Ali Belaroussi, 62, and another Algerian diplomat, Azzedine Belkadi, 47.
The two Algerians were kidnapped at gunpoint last Thursday along with their driver in west Baghdad's upscale Mansour district, police and Algerian officials said.
On Saturday, an Internet statement Saturday attributed to al-Qaida in Iraq claimed responsibility for kidnapping the Algerian diplomats, saying their government had ignored warnings against deepening ties to the U.S.-backed Iraqi leadership.
Algeria's leading Islamic militant group congratulated al-Qaida for kidnapping two Algerian diplomats in Baghdad, according to an Internet statement cited by Reuters.
That same group are welcoming back an extremist imam who was deported by France this week.
"a welcoming congregation indeed".
