Dame Vera, Northumbria Police and Crime Commissioner, said: “I think an important point to make is some of the victims were Asian as well.”

But one of the victims, Sammy Woodhouse, said that “her abusers and all those reported to her by other victims were from Muslim backgrounds. ‘Nobody is saying that all Muslims commit abuse, but by saying it’s not an issue you’re silencing the victims.’ Ms Woodhouse, who is now 32, said she knew one girl who was ‘read statements from the Quran’ while being raped and said she was made to eat halal, while Mad Ash wanted to make her his second wife under Sharia law.”

“In Bradford, white children were over-represented in the latest figures among those affected compared to the general population, making up 70 per cent of open cases, compared to 16 per cent Asian and 7 per cent mixed.”

One problem is that British authorities and media continue to see this entire issue, as well as the issues of jihad terror and Islamization, wholly and solely through the prism of race. These Muslim rapists are universally dubbed “Asian,” because the establishment media doesn’t want to report on these issues in any way that would make people think negatively of Islam. But the term “Asian” also includes other groups. So when the Independent tells us that among the victims, “16 per cent Asian and 7 per cent mixed,” we have no way of knowing how many of those victims were Muslim and how many were not Muslim.

The conversation that Britain needs to have, but won’t, is over these facts: the Qur’an teaches that Infidel women can be lawfully taken for sexual use (cf. its allowance for a man to take “captives of the right hand,” 4:3, 4:24, 23:1-6, 33:50, 70:30). The Qur’an says: “O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.” (33:59) The implication there is that if women do not cover themselves adequately with their outer garments, they may be abused, and that such abuse would be justified.

Unless and until those facts are confronted, these Muslim rape gangs will continue to operate — especially since authorities in Britain are no doubt still afraid to move on these cases, for fear of being dubbed “racist” and “Islamophobic.”
