Neither the Catholic Church or the Church of England, as I understand, encourage their followers to view the Bible or the actions of their prophet as totally and completely infallible, and immune from criticism.

This is not reliably true of Islam - I know, because I grew up Muslim. I also came to this country as a very young child fleeing persecution, so I know all about Islamophobia too (Perhaps it is also why I feel so strongly about your country which my family found to be a safe haven with a uniquely generous and tolerant culture that I will forever be grateful for). Dismissing the acknowledgment these issues within Islam as Islamophobia is so foolish. It also does huge disservice to the Muslim girls and women who suffer under Islam - perhaps it is more politically “correct” to care about us than it is white working class girls?

Besides, the link between the christian institutions and their roles in child abuse is widely acknowledged and spoken about. As it should be!

RE your other comment, if you won’t read this report then what other sources do you suggest we look at for the experiences of these victims? Which ones have you read? Which of the victims who speaks out publicly do you follow or support? Genuine question.

This is such a powerful post. Thank you! Xx

Yes these were atrocities.
Yes huge lessons need to be learned
No to prefacing the ‘report’ with: “Britain has an immigration problem”.
No to the cynical use of victims’ testimonies to further political propaganda and whip-up social division.
No to arguably further exploiting these victims.

This report has been written in such a way as to deliberately stir-up racial tension.

It was funded by Restore Britain. Which should ring alarm bells.

Such huge, important reviews need to be non-partisan. I don’t want to read propaganda.

Britain does have an immigration problem, as does the rest of Europe and Scandinavia.

They are not being protected,that's the trouble.

That was just plain wrong and it gives certain quarters more ammunition.

You don’t think he just passionately believes in what he says?

You aren’t serious!?!?

The far right are revolting opportunists and will have you back in the kitchen/abusive marriage before you can say "stop the boats" - they are NOT our friends.

And the Bible explicitly contains incest as a moral "good". In most US states there is no legal minimum age to get married. You may also have heard about the international sex trafficking ring run by that well known Muslim convert Jeffrey E who has ties to other Muslims like Andrew and Donald.

You're correct, and I know several 'peaceful' wonderful people who are Muslim.

However as approx 25% of the world population is Muslim - Law of averages (as well as actual data collected and as well as some of the violent / misogynistic tenets of the religion) means thousands if not millions of Muslims, aren't 'peaceful'. It is not difficult to understand. Unless you willingly don't wish to.

Edited

So, if so many people are peaceful, why are they many who are not?

It's not religion per se, it's extremists who use a twisted version of religion as an excuse to carry out these hellish acts.
To blame everything on the Islamic faith is doing everyone a disservice and that's not difficult to understand, unless you willingly do not wish to.

The little detail about "Chloe's" social worker just wanting her to play the part of a sexually exploited child on Emmerdale is particularly... I can't think of a word to describe it. Obscene?

That completely floored me yesterday.

I dont think words exist to describe the sheer heartlessness of that.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 17/06/2026 10:23

Sammy Woodhouse went on Good Morning Britain yesterday to talk about the gangs, and before she went on a producer instructed her not to mention race/culture. She called this out live on air with Ed Balls and Susannah Reid and ITV have now apologised to her.

Course it is.

In the last year or so, Putin (not Muslim) has launched repeated attacks against civilians in Ukraine; Bibi N (not Muslim) has had the IDF bomb hospitals; Trump (not Muslim) has bombed a school.

All of which proves that Islam is the uniquely violent culture.

Stick to the issue at hand... which is the mass organised rape of white British girls by Muslim men.

Not all Muslims are terrorists.

However... all terrorist atrocities seem to be perpetrated by.... guess who?

And many blow up pop concerts, and fly planes into buildings, and blow up trains.

No Evidence?! This is the problem, it’s not a scientific study!! There is overwhelming victim accounts about what happened (and still is happening)

Paganpentacle · 17/06/2026 10:18

There are an awful lot of claims being made in this report with no evidence presented. I mean beyond what the victims said.

Yes. Not being believed as a victim is a massive problem, wouldn't you say?

Happyjoe · 17/06/2026 10:16

Paganpentacle · 17/06/2026 10:14

They are not Lowe's testimonies.
If you cannot see beyond your personal prejudice towards him you are part of the problem.

My answer was to do with the person I highlighted and replied to. Thanks.

The report itself appears to be very circular. That is a lot of right wing blogs etc in the citations. The Daily Mail is referenced a few times. As is Youtube.

Page 102 has stuff about Stephen Yaxley-Lennon" reportedly also faced fabricated charges, asset freezes, and threats that forced repeated relocations."

218 pages. About 70-80 pages of victim testimonies, and the rest appears to be an anti Muslim thing.

Appendix 4 has a long list of local authority districts where gangs have operated, and not s single reference to any data.

Some replies on this thread - even now - explain clearly why this abuse was ignored - encouraged - for so long. People saying wrong writer, wrong people , I won't read it etc - make me sick. Those sort of apologist people are the reason mass grooming and sex abuse of very young white working class girls by older Pakistani / Pakistani British men, was covered up in the first place. Disgusting.

And by the way - those days are gone. People aren't afraid to call out what they see in front of them, any more.
