A ‘baradari’/’biradri’ social stratification is what ‘governs’ this region. It stems from the pre-Islamic era of the Hindu caste system in India, where marriage and ‘destiny’ are determined by virtue (or vice) of birth; which itself stems from the polytheistic systems of ancient Egypt; from a priestly class ‘down to’ an untouchable slave class.
‘freshie’ taxi drivers would be used to courier illegal drugs . . . the freshies would be themselves groomed into being part of this criminal network which itself was operating from a clandestine biradri network from Pakistan where opium was being grown and exported . . .
. . . councillors elected after being selected by the elders of the clan. (Some) Sufi-influenced ‘Barelvi’ Mosques in these communities became control and command but not in the political extremist way that Islamophobes may conjure up, but as a business. (Barelvi being a tolerated branch of Sufism which essentially keeps a focus of worship as personal duty and not one to impact/improve society.)
Friday prayer donations in their hundreds and thousands of pounds culminated in multi-million pound places of worship . . . The planning permission approved or influenced by councils who had ‘their man’ in office elected on biradri lines . . .
This familial commitment, to pay towards the mosque and in return no condemnation from the mosque whose Imam is appointed by the Mosque ‘Committee’ who are drawn on biradri lines as to who is the Chair, Secretary and who is the Treasurer.
. . . most who know they have a sibling or cousin involved in fraud, drug dealing and may ‘suspect’ they are also involved in illicit sexual activity live in a combination of denial, and not speak about it as taboo, for if spoken about, it would bring ‘shame’ and break the principles of honour codified as ‘izzat’.
Possible solutions to cure this disease of perverse criminality
None of these are simple proposals.
More confidence in justice for any victims including tougher sentences for the convicted of such heinous child abuse. The victims were too often ignored or not believed which is horrific by the social services and law enforcement authorities.
Systematic mentoring and better outreach work and earlier intervention for Boys in late Primary and early Secondary school education (Key Stage 2 and 3) that they pursue a law-abiding educated pathway and not one for the night economy.
Ensure the mosques in these communities have a programme of education to condemn the illicit (haram) money being pumped in and to call out criminality.
Systematically intervene to eradicate the biradri system as it has no place in a society built on equality of opportunity and faith for all.
Work with overseas authorities to provide better interventions in these rural communities where many wrongs go unchallenged.
" . . . eradicate the biradri system as it has no place in a society built on equality . . . "
I have a feeling there may be some resistance to this proposal.
This whole thing is being played to create a war between religions when really it's just closed-mentality heroin dealers paying taxes to politicians and preachers while raping children as a pastime.
