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

UK: Muslim rape gang known to police but allowed to operate freely for fear of “Islamophobia” charges

Jan 16, 2020 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

These revelations come after it has long been known that 1,400 British non-Muslim children were gang-raped and brutalized by Muslims in one city alone, and “several staff described their nervousness about identifying the ethnic origins of perpetrators for fear of being thought as racist; others remembered clear direction from their managers not to do so.”

Why did they fear being thought of as racist? The Muslim rape gangs went unreported, unprosecuted, and in general unstopped because of far-Left organizations including Hope Not Hate, Faith Matters, and Tell Mama, which waged relentless war against anyone and everyone who spoke out about these issue. They demonized as “Islamophobic,” “hateful” and “bigoted” anyone who said that there were Muslim rape gangs at all, and that they had to be stopped. They led the campaign to ban Pamela Geller and me from entering the country, when one of the events we had discussed going to was a rally against the Muslim rape gangs.

Hope Not Hate has scrubbed the evidence, but it used to be possible to search for “grooming” (as these gangs are usually called “grooming gangs” in the British media) at Hope Not Hate’s site. You would have seen that the vast majority of the articles mentioning this practice were attacking those who were calling attention to it and protesting against it.

Who is responsible for the mass gang-rape of British girls by Muslims? The British Left — in particular the “anti-hate” crusaders Nick Lowles and Matthew Collins of Hope Not Hate, Fiyaz Mughal of Faith Matters and Tell Mama, and their friends, supporters, and allies.

The lives of at least 1,400 girls are ruined today because of these men. If Britain were even close to being a sane society today, these people would be being subjected to scorching criticism, and there would be a thorough public reevaluation of how much the Left’s alliance with Islamic supremacism and smear campaign against foes of jihad terror has harmed the nation and its people.

But Britain is not a sane society today, and these sinister individuals — Lowles, Mughal, and the rest of them — continue to wield their considerable power and influence in British society. If Britain is ever to recover itself and stave off chaos, civil war and Sharia, Lowles, Collins, Mughal and others like them would be arrested and tried. But that is not going to happen.

“A paedophile grooming gang was left to roam the streets of Manchester – and police knew who they were and exactly what they were doing,” by Jennifer Williams, Manchester Evening News, January 14, 2020:

Children were raped and abused by up to 100 members of a Manchester grooming gang sixteen years ago – but despite police and social workers knowing what was happening they weren’t stopped.

At least 57 young girls are thought to have been exploited by a paedophile network based in south Manchester. They were hooked on drugs, groomed, raped and emotionally broken – one youngster, aged fifteen, died.

The disturbing story of the gang’s crimes, the betrayal of the victims, and the scale of institutional neglect is disclosed in a damning two year inquiry into historic failures in the protection of children in Manchester.

The report, commissioned by Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham, found:

– Social workers knew that one 15-year-old girl, Victoria Agoglia, was being forcibly injected with heroin, but failed to act. She died two months later.

– Abusers were allowed to freely pick up and have sex with Victoria and other children from city care homes, ‘in plain sight’ of officials.

– Greater Manchester Police dropped an operation that identified up to 97 potential suspects and at least 57 potential victims. Eight of the men went on to later assault or rape girls.

– As recently as August 2018, the Chief Constable refused to reopen the dropped operation.
The disturbing story of the gang’s crimes, the betrayal of the victims, and the scale of institutional neglect is disclosed in a damning two year inquiry into historic failures in the protection of children in Manchester

The review, commissioned by Greater Manchester mayor’s office in 2017 and written by experts Malcolm Newsam and Gary Ridgway, looked at the way authorities have dealt with child sexual exploitation.

It was launched on the back of allegations made by former GMP detective Maggie Oliver.

At its heart is the death of 15-year-old Victoria Agoglia, also known as Victoria Byrne, in 2003.

Its conclusions lay bare the scale of the abuse she suffered at the hands of men who freely came and went from her care home with the full knowledge of the authorities – also revealing she had repeatedly told social workers she was being injected with drugs and raped. It finds no action was taken to protect her.

After her death a police investigation, Operation Augusta, was set up to see if there was a wider problem of child sexual exploitation in south Manchester. Officers managed to quickly identify a network of nearly 100 Asian men potentially involved in the abuse of scores of girls via takeaways in and around Rusholme, but the operation was shut down shortly afterwards due to resources, ‘rather than a sound understanding’ of whether lines of inquiry had been exhausted.

Barely any charges were made against the men identified by the operation. Eight of them later went on to commit serious sexual crimes, including the rape of a child, the rape of a young woman, sexual assault and sexual activity with a child. …

    Great to read that there was an official investigation into what all went wrong. Can we please have a follow-up article in a month if there was anything done as consequence of the report? Or if it is just shelved as “That’s horrible! Let’s continue in the same horrible way”

    • Kish says

      Jan 16, 2020 at 12:53 pm

      Actually better than a follow up article would be British citizens committing to visiting mayor Andy Burnham in person once every week to ask for progress on fixing the problem.

      no need to have a follow-up, Kish; i’ll close my eyes and confidently predict that *N*O*T*H*I*N*G* will be done.

    The ultimate sign of capitulation — offering up your children to your conquerors for your own survival. Utterly despicable! UK is well and truly finished.

    Britain was done a long time ago. My comparison is the end of the 1980s and early 1990s when I studied in the UK: pork vindaloo was on almost all Indian restaurants’ menus because they were actually Indian and not Pakistani. Now many big cities look like Pakistan or Nigeria.

    The only just thing to do now is to arrest and charge the police chief, social workers, and all others who looked the other way while this was going on. All of those people were accessories to these crimes.

    Hey Brits defend your children! They take your girls for sex slaves. They take your boys like the Turks took Balkan boys to be turned into weapons against their parents. There was a time when Britain inspired the world with its resistance to the evil of slavery. Have you capitulated now? A Colonial Meathead wants to know.

    This appalling behaviour is due to two trends: the first is the indoctrination by a group called Common Cause of various professional associations in Britain. A look at their website ( valuesandframes.org) will inform you of the intellectual garbage that is taught. The second is how senior police officials are now appointed. Previously, those chosen had come up through the ranks and were focused on law and order. When David Cameron was prime minister, this pathway closed. The government began to choose senior police officials from university graduates who had little or no experience on the street. They did have, however, the outlook fostered by universities; namely, bend over backwards not to offend any minority that was deemed to be repressed, depressed, suppressed and oppressed. Any reform must begin with shutting down all ties with Common Cause and a return to promotion from within the ranks.

      Good points. My grandfather was a police superintendent in the West Midlands, and he came up through the ranks with a background in the British Army–but that was a long time ago.

      RELIGION!!!Religion is the problem…officials almost all over Europe have given in to islam by ALLOWING Religion to drive their governments..if they don’t Doon pass laws that describe WHAT RELIGION IS NOT, then hold everyone who has the responsibility for law enforcement to the LETter of the LAW..
      Officials being afraid of being called racist, bigots, islamophobic etc. has caused the death of thousands st the hands of Muslims who fall back on RELIGION to cover up their atrocities.
      It’s time for governments to bite the bullet and make it possible for NO ONE to be afraid to take action against others so called religious culprits who are getting away with murder.
      It will take guts and LAWS to reverse what should never been allowed to happen…..

        Jan 17, 2020 at 10:41 pm

        The idea that religion is the problem is odd. Religious people fought against Islam for centuries–you would not be free today were this not true.

        This dhimmitude has more to do with “political correctness” than it does with religion.

        You are totally right, it was only through Farage that immigration ever got to be talked about, to talk about it was not allowed becore too racist. We need honest debate it it is Muslims carrying out crimes say so, if it’s Black’s say so, if it’s whites say so it’s fact not racism. Stop trying to please ethnic groups at the expense of the indigenous population.

    The UK government has already capitulated to their new overlords. While the people obsess about the “Royal Family,” the new arrivals take advantage of the people’s trance to march in and establish themselves.

    One day the people will wake up, but it will be too late.

  8. Hindu American says

    Jan 16, 2020 at 4:26 pm

    I am sorry but this report itself is a HUGE cover up. It oozes of political correctness and nuances but does not explicitly call out where the problems lie. While it correctly points out that hundreds and hundreds of lives of innocent British girls have been destroyed because the authorities looked the other way, it skirts around the crux of the problem. The report mentions “Asian men” (Damn you Koreans, Chinese and Indians) but never once mentions that these are pakistanis and muslims. Once again, liberals and progressives win.

    • gravenimage says

      Jan 16, 2020 at 4:57 pm

      Also true, Hindu American, You would never gather from this report that the perps are almost entirely Muslim. Still, at least there was an investigation–this has been all too rare.

      They don’t seem to mind smearing non muslim Asians with their broad brush. If I were a non muslim Asian I would be enraged.

    UK: Muslim rape gang known to police but allowed to operate freely for fear of “Islamophobia” charges
    …………………

    Just sickening–and Manchester was not the only place where this happened, although this may have been more blatant than most.

    Is this still going on in Britain? I have no reason to think not.

    Low-class Anglo-Saxon British girls were sacrificed on the altar of political correctness.

    What happened to @ME TOO ???

    • gravenimage says

      Jan 16, 2020 at 5:29 pm

      Yes–many of the victims have been poor “at risk” girls–the very people that are supposed to be respected, but are actually treated with deep contempt by the left.

  11. tgusa says

    Jan 16, 2020 at 6:10 pm

    Calling this filth police is an insult to real police. There is no excuse for their disgusting behavior.

    On a side note, the left all around the world has a serious problem regarding sexual exploitation, sexual assault. It is as if that is a prerequisite to becoming a leftist in good standing.

    And the degenerates call us deplorable.

  12. Huh!?! says

    Jan 17, 2020 at 3:58 pm

    England will pay dearly for this, more so than they are already. True Brits are going to have to form up vigilante type squads to protect their children.
    There is Someone coming in the End Of Days that will provide justice for these children. At that time those islamists are going to find out, in terror, just how useless allah will be for them.

      Patriotic Britons need to speak out first. Many have been silent.

  13. OLD GUY says

    Jan 17, 2020 at 11:42 pm

    It seams a shame that Brits are willing to give up its children for the sake of being politically correct. I know that not all muslims are rapist or killers of innocent people, but if a group of muslims are responsible for those actions let’s call a spade a spade. It definitely appears that islam is a “religion” that advocates child marriages, rape of non islam girls and boys along with murder and terrorism. Under these ideologies it seems to be perfectly proper to place the blame right at the feet of the islamic/muslim people who practice islam and support it monetarily and with their defending their leaders continued radical actions and threats to anyone who is not practicing their form of islam. If the islamist will not clean up their behavior in modern society then they will have to suffer the consequences of their actions against civilized people. If we continue to bend to their will they will continue to respond as they are, with more atrocities. Time to say no to ISLAM.
    Stop the immigration of all muslims who practice islam and shut off the funding and military assistance to all islamic countries.
