Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

UK: Survivor of Muslim rape gangs says rapists would quote Quran to her, believed their actions justified by Islam

Mar 18, 2018 11:58 am By Robert Spencer

But she warns against “Islamophobia,” which she claims will make more young Muslims become jihad terrorists and join Muslim rape gangs. She makes some ridiculous equivalence arguments between the Qur’an and the Bible, as if Britain were beset by Christian rape gangs quoting the Old Testament, and charges that those who note, as she does here, that the rape of Infidel women by Muslim men is sanctioned in Islam (see the Qur’an’s passages about the “captives of the right hand,” i.e., sex slaves: 4:3, 4:24, 23:1-6, 33:50, 70:30) are only making matters worse by stoking “Islamophobia.” That is arrant nonsense, of course, as one cannot solve a problem adequately except by knowing and addressing its root causes, but of course including this twaddle in the article, and indeed, making it the article’s focal point, was the only way that these revelations about Muslim rapists’ quoting the Qur’an and believing their activities were justified in Islam were ever going to be published in the Independent.

“As a Rotherham grooming gang survivor, I want people to know about the religious extremism which inspired my abusers,” by Ella Hill, Independent, March 18, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

I’m a Rotherham grooming gang survivor. I call myself a survivor because I’m still alive. I’m part of the UK’s largest ever child sexual abuse investigation.

As a teenager, I was taken to various houses and flats above takeaways in the north of England, to be beaten, tortured and raped over 100 times. I was called a “white slag” and “white c**t” as they beat me.

They made it clear that because I was a non-Muslim, and not a virgin, and because I didn’t dress “modestly”, that they believed I deserved to be “punished”. They said I had to “obey” or be beaten.

Fear of being killed, and threats to my parents’ lives, made it impossible for me to escape for about a year. The police didn’t help me.

As I write this, it has been widely reported that a letter has been sent to Muslim groups around the country declaring a national “Punish a Muslim” day; elsewhere, the leaders of Britain First have been found guilty of religiously aggravated harassment.

In mainland Europe, conflict surrounding immigrants and refugees has been fuelled by stories of women being raped by migrants. People have been calling for violent attacks against “any Muslims” and have declared “war on Islam”.

Islamophobic online hate and personal attacks occur every day. In response, anti-fascist groups and the “far left” have carried out their own violent attacks on groups they perceive to comprise “white supremacists” or “Nazis”.

As someone who has experienced life inside a grooming gang, I can tell you with certainty that none of this is likely to make any difference to the behaviours of groomers. Like terrorists, they firmly believe that the crimes they carry out are justified by their religious beliefs.

If anything, rising anti-Muslim hate will probably make groomers stronger in their convictions, and drive ordinary young Muslim men towards fundamentalism, grooming gangs and terrorism. The camaraderie, protection, money, and kudos that these groups offer, makes them a strong pull for anyone. Worryingly, several young men I have spoken to joke that being a gangster and going to jail are their “life goals”.

However big or small the problem of grooming gang crime is, it is big enough to warrant national concern, not only because of the severity of crimes, but because of the degree of terror and threats to life involved. This really does devastate lives, families and communities. We don’t even talk about the non-survivors.

Experts say that grooming gangs are not the same as paedophile rings. It’s something that central Government really needs to understand in order to prevent more grooming gang crime in the future.

In November 2017, the Swedish government held a meeting where they stated that: “Sexual violence is being used as a tactic of terrorism”, and as such, it was recognised as a threat to Sweden’s national security.

The link between terrorism and rape undertaken by Islamist gangs was not being ignored. They called for counter-extremism education. This sounds like a balanced and intelligent governmental response to me.

Religious indoctrination is a big part of the process of getting young men involved in grooming gang crime. Religious ideas about purity, virginity, modesty and obedience are taken to the extreme until horrific abuse becomes the norm. It was taught to me as a concept of “othering”.

“Muslim girls are good and pure because they dress modestly, covering down to their ankles and wrists, and covering their crotch area. They stay virgins until marriage. They are our girls.

“White girls and non-Muslim girls are bad because you dress like slags. You show the curves of your bodies (showing the gap between your thighs means you’re asking for it) and therefore you’re immoral. White girls sleep with hundreds of men. You are the other girls. You are worthless and you deserve to be gang-raped.”

This hateful religious hypocrisy strikes people to their very core. But it’s far from unique. My main perpetrator quoted scriptures from the Quran to me as he beat me. However, almost identical scriptures (about the stoning to death of virgins who don’t scream when they are raped) can also be found in the Bible.

The problem isn’t the text itself; it’s how it’s fundamentally interpreted. In fact, there are many cases of Bible quotes being used to justify terrible human injustices, like the enslavement of people from Africa, antisemitism and violence towards LGBT+ people.

All the major world religions, including Hinduism and Buddhism, have also at some time been associated with extreme human rights abuses against men, women and children.

I experienced horrific, religiously sanctioned sexual violence and torture – so I definitely believe that we need to be aware of religious extremism as something potentially harmful, so that we can protect people from it.

But for Tommy Robinson and his followers to focus on an entire religion, based on the cruel interpretations of some scriptures by some people, is unhelpful, to say the least. Many of his religious theories and conjecture are not anything that I can relate to in my real life experiences.

Most grooming gang survivors I know absolutely condemn anti-Islamic hate, and we’re uncomfortable with English Defence League protests. We certainly don’t want random attacks on “all Muslims”. You can’t cure harm with more harm. Free-thinking men from Pakistani Muslim backgrounds, like Nazir Afzal, agree, and many deal with all of this incredibly graciously….

    Islamophobia is created by institutions and police who overlook criminal behaviour by Muslims.

    It is now so out of control that the matter can no longer be swept under the carpet or suppressed by Muslims in power threatening to arrest those who complain.

    • Anne Smith says

      I am not sure about that. The Government reach and power is very widespread.

      i attended a speech by Max Hill, the Government’s Independent reviewer of Terrosism Legislation and was startled to hear him refer to right wing t error and extremism, saying it was on the increase and from his speech you would have thought that right wingers had killed just as many innocent people as the Muslims have managed to do in their vicious indiscriminate attacks, 7/7 on the Underground, on bridges in London, Parliament and the Concert Hall where so many young girls were murdered in Manchester,as well as the attack on the train in Parson Green,
      In fact two people have died as the result of attacks from the “Right Wing” neither of which could be fairly ascribed to organised right wing actions, the MP Jo Cox was murdered by a mentally ill man who shouted Britain First and a nutter from Wales drove at a crowd of Muslims in Finsbury Park as they left a mosque. (It is debatable whether he actually did kill the one Muslim who died as he had collapsed before the van ran him over.) However to hear the references to “Finsbury Park” you would think a huge atttack had been perpetrated under the guise of a Right Wing organisation.

      The method of countering any anti Muslim arguments is to inflate the presence of “Right Wing” organisations and their perceived danger, despite the numbers belying the case.

    “Most grooming gang survivors I know absolutely condemn anti-Islamic hate…” Yeah, ‘course they do!
    I call BS on ‘Ella Hill’ and the entire item. It stinks of propaganda. To suggest that Sweden’s “counter-extremism education” is a “balanced and intelligent governmental response” to that countries rape epidemic is so far beyond ridiculous that it could only have been written by a spook.
    Interesting, too, that ‘Ella’ should manage to slag-off the right and Tommy Robinson on the day before the Speakers Corner event. Call me cynical (please) but where the MSM are involved, there’s no such thing as coincidence.

      I agree.

      This article makes several accurate statements in the beginning, but then turns about face towards the end. Likening the thorough going and systematized evil of islam with ANY other religious system is perverse and very distracting. The condemnation of TR and by association anyone else opposing the islamization of the UK or Europe, is sickening.

      It sounds like this girl has been heavily worked over by the social service staff, once they were forced (by the EDL, and others) to notice her existence.

      Disgusting propaganda, all the more insidious because it contains some truth.

    “rising anti-Muslim hate will probably make groomers stronger in their convictions.” Yes, and defending yourself makes them mad, too.

    No one cares about changing their level of “conviction” or wants to hear “you can’t cure harm with more harm” as an excuse for permitting girls to continue being preyed upon (and prayed upon). Virtually everyone in those Muslim communities knew about it and/or participated in it. It’s far beyond just a “gang.” It is, in fact, a war. The deliberately dumb and dhimm just don’t know it.

    Where is her fucking anger at what happened to her and is happening to other girls just like her? But it’s nice she found a gracious “free-thinking” Paki to convince her the Muslim attitudes derived from the Qur’an, and example of Muhammad, and from shari’a need have nothing to do with Islam and “all Muslims.” Just some re-education and the rapists (warriors) will treat young kaffir “whores” with respect, not as “war booty.” Never gonna happen. Your move, UK.

    Time has come to pass a law requiring compulsory sterilization of
    the perpetrators. Just excising their ball is not enough. Cut the penis too.
    That how the Ottoman Turks used to get their harem slaves. For urinating
    the de-balled man used to keep a silver tube for urination.

    In my view there is no bigger crime than destroying the lives of innocent kids.
    By the way, the incentives for sex crimes can be traced to the “holy” Koran.

      An interesting book called “The Years of Salt and Rice” has a storyline involving a young slave boy who has the procedure inflicted upon him. It is an ‘alternate history’ fantasy, where the author writes about several periods of world history, but history after a key past event transpired differently from our real history.

      The description and personal experience of the whole thing is quite well done.

      I mention it here, since i didn’t come across many actual descriptions written by real eunuchs.

    Why is this female so impressed by this ‘free-thinking Paki’ when she already belonged to a nation of genuine ‘free thinkers’ who have a far longer history of civilised morality than anything that crawled out of cesspit like Pakistan?

    UK: Survivor of Muslim rape gangs says rapists would quote Quran to her, believed their actions justified by Islam
    ………………………

    This should not surprise. Remember *this* horrifying story:

    “He said that raping me is his prayer to God”

    https://www.jihadwatch.org/2015/08/he-said-that-raping-me-is-his-prayer-to-god

    Kudos to Ella Hill for speaking out.

    Muslims show their hypocrisy–claiming girls like her are “asking for it”, then threatening to murder her parents to keep her quiet. Obviously this would not be necessary if Infidel girls *really* wanted to be gang raped by Muslim thugs.

    Just sorry to see that even she has bought into to idea that Anti-Jihadists like Tommy Robinson are ‘Islamophobic’, though.

  7. Matthieu Baudin says

    Mar 19, 2018 at 12:25 am

    Well, even if you took all of her opinions to have equal weight, the case for either deporting or jailing (long term) all these gang rapists is on very solid ground. In addition, the case for putting many senior professionals through the courts on criminal neglect charges appears to be on a very firm footing. Time for action from the top from Teresa May if anyone can wake her.

    • Anne Smith says

      Mar 19, 2018 at 7:50 am

      Unlikely – she is well in the Muslims camp. I have posted her Eid message often enough. Still waiting for an Easter message for Christians or a Diwali message for Hindus or any sort of message actually, for anyone who isn’t a Muslim.

    The koran permits..

    murdering innocent infidels k2:191
    adultery k33:50 “What the right hand possesses”
    theft k 48:50
    torture k22 v 19-22
    polygamy k4:3
    sex slaves k 23 v 6
    child brides k65 v 4

    islam permits lying to promote islam{taqqiya,tawriya,kitman,muruna}:But lying is called “Bearing False Witness” and it is condemned in one of God’s Commandments!

    But then allah is the best of deceivers k3:54

    Compare the warped koranic teachings with God’s Official Commandments{ which condemn murder,lying,stealing,adultery…}

    You will notice that islam and the koran VIOLATE God’s Commandments and it is allah himself who sanctions the breaking of God’s laws.

    Just look at the list of God’s Commandments:compare and contrast the Bible with the koran.

    The Bible is in total agreement with God’s laws.You must NOT break His Commandments.
    The koran is in total disagreement with God’s laws.You can break the commandments and allah will reward you..

    No matter what you read in the Bible it is always understood that God’s Laws must be obeyed.
    This is not so in the koran!

    That explains why converts to islam are attracted by the idea that,since the koran permits them to break God’s laws,they are free to do evil..and will be rewarded by allah in paradise for doing so!!

    The koran does NOT pass the Commandments test.
    The fact that the 2 chief laws of God{found in Judaism and Christianity}are completely missing in islam says it all.

    Even if you are an atheist,you must know the difference between the Judeo-Christian God and the islamic koranic counterfeit:they are NOT equivalent.

    There is only one appropriate response to this rape culture and that is to ban any Muslim from entering Britain and deport what is already there. No violence needed. Just common sense and the will to survive as a nation. This is classic Stockholm Syndrome. The woman is certainly to be pitied – more for her reduced mental state than for anything. Obviously this kind of abuse can destroy one mentally and psychologically as well as physically. Here is the evidence. If only the British had the eyes and the will to see.

    She says of TR: “Many of his religious theories and conjecture are not anything that I can relate to in my real life experiences.”

    Of course because:
    “They made it clear that because I was a non-Muslim, and not a virgin, and because I didn’t dress “modestly”, that they believed I deserved to be “punished”. They said I had to “obey” or be beaten.”

    Isn’t anything like TR has ever said about Islam (sarc/off)

    This girl has obviously suffered horrendous abuse but the fatuous cultural relativism doesn’t help one bit.

      “Ella Hill is a pseudonym” – Independent article

      I’m not sure if the girl who wrote the article is this same Ella Hill on the URL you provide.

      A little confusing.
