Ghanîmah Comes to Rotherham

 

Rotherham, a city of about 257,000 in Yorkshire, England, is a battleground in a war that has been waged for 13 centuries:
More than 1,400 children were sexually abused over a 16 year period by gangs of paedophiles after police and council bosses turned a blind eye for fear of being labeled racist, a damning report has concluded.

Senior officials were responsible for “blatant” failures that saw victims, some as young as 11, being treated with contempt and categorised as being “out of control” or simply ignored when they asked for help.
In some cases, parents who tried to rescue their children from abusers were themselves arrested. Police officers even dismissed the rape of children by saying that sex had been consensual.
Downing Street on Tuesday night described the failure to halt the abuse in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, as “appalling”.
Following the publication of the report, the leader of Rotherham council, Roger Stone, resigned, but no other council employees will face disciplinary proceedings after it was claimed that there was not enough evidence to take action.

There were calls for Shaun Wright, the Police and Crime Commissioner for South Yorkshire (pictured above, left), to step down after it emerged that he was the councilor with responsibility for children’s services in Rotherham for part of the period covered by the report.

Details of the appalling depravity in the town and the systemic failures that allowed it to continue were laid out in a report published by Professor Alexis Jay, the former chief inspector of social work in Scotland. Victims were gang raped, while others were groomed and trafficked across northern England by groups of mainly Asian men.

When children attempted to expose the abuse, they were threatened with guns, warned that their loved ones would be raped and, in one case, doused in petrol and told they would be burnt alive.

Prof Jay wrote: “No one knows the true scale of child sexual exploitation in Rotherham over the years. Our conservative estimate is that approximately 1,400 children were sexually exploited over the full inquiry period, from 1997 to 2013.

 

Go here to read the rest.  What is hilarious in this very grim story is the use of the term “Asian men”, as in the video clip at the beginning of this post, which is a politically correct obfuscation.  The men behind this atrocity were Muslims, either born in Pakistan, or born to Pakistani immigrant families living in Britain.  Go here to read all about it.  To the men engaging in these crimes the girls were not merely girls but infidel girls, and therefore Ghanîmah, the Koran title for war booty, which includes the women and children of the vanquished.  Not all Muslims see the world in this way of course, where the world is divided into human beings and non-Muslims, but enough do so that no one in the Pakistani community in Rotherham, for example, would come forward to inform on what must have been quite a few Pakistani men involved in this ongoing rape of a large number of girls over sixteen years.   More damning is the native English who stood by and did nothing to protect these girls.  A society that cannot protect its kids is a society that is on its way to extinction.  The powers that be in Rotherham are members of the Labour Party.  The Labour Party beginning in 1990 adopted a policy of allowing more immigration to Great Britain to change British society.  They implemented the policy when they came to power in 1997.  Mission accomplished.

“A society that can not protect its kids is a society on its way to extinction.” And remember, right now the most popular boy’s name in England is Mohammed.

Yasmin Alibhai Brown (a Ugandan-born British journalist and author, who describes herself as a “leftie liberal, anti-racist, feminist, Muslim, part-Pakistani) had this to say:-
“The perpetrators are not paedophiles in the normal sense of the word. Racial and cultural odium as much as ugly lust and power drives them to abuse. Most of them are also irreversibly misogynist. It is a lethal mix, this sexist psychopathy.
I partly blame their families and communities. Too many Asian mothers spoil their boys, undervalue their girls, and demean their daughters-in-law. Within some British Asian circles, the West is considered degenerate and immoral. So it’s OK to take their girls and ruin them further. Some of the most fierce rows I have ever had have been with Asian women who hold these disgusting views.”
Of the authorities, she says, “White experts and officers have for too long been reluctant to confront serious offences committed by black and Asian people. Such extreme tolerance is the result of specious morality, that credo that says investigating such crimes would encourage racism or enrage community activists and leaders, or, worse, make the professionals appear racist. So, instead of saving children who were being gang raped, drugged, assaulted, threatened and terrorised, they chose to protect rapists, abusers, traffickers and drug dealers. And themselves.”

This is the latest in a number of cases to come to light. One of them was in Oxford (what was Inspector Morse doing?) The ever-PC BBC managed to find in Rotherham an Asian woman who claimed (without evidence) that Asian girls were also being abused, so it was not a racial issue. Many of the victims were in local authority ‘care’ after family breakdown, but social services have a culture of treading on eggshells when it comes to dealing with racial minorities. These girls had no parental discipline and the professional care-mongers are incapable and unwilling to exert any control. Occasionally some minion might be held to account, but their grossly overpaid bosses usually walk away with clean hands and are promoted or transferred.

The Welfare State in the UK has produced a massive army of incompetent and unaccountable public servants. You only have to hear them interviewed to realize that they are not very clever and speak and think in platitudes. A lot of them end up in Parliament and the culture of not accepting blame for anything goes with them. God help us.

A crime wave was totally ignored, and soft-on-crime policies allowed vicious violent crime to destroy an urban area, because the political Left wanted to use racial politics to insure its continued position – isn’t that just standard practice in America?

I read the Law and Freedom Foundation’s report on Rotherham. Lots of references to “men who regularly collected [girls] from residential care homes.”

And so, the tragedy of the commons.

And people wonder why Catholics insist on preserving the sanctity of the family ideal toward which we can all strive: one man, one woman, caring for their children.

An interesting subplot from the LFF report is that the Sikh community fought back, bravely, without any help from the government.

Political correctness has a cost in human suffering. It’s just a shame that
only some of the people responsible will see justice. Most of the apparatchiks
who demanded the institutionalized blindness and outright dereliction of
duty this scandal required– well, those people will still be writing policy
for their bureaucracies years from now.
.
Britain has a similar institutionalized blindness/ PC insanity when it comes
to female genital mutilation as practiced by the nation’s “Asian” population.
In 1985 Her Majesty’s government passed a law criminalizing FGM. In the
30-or-so years since then, it has been estimated that 6,500 girls each year
are at risk for FGM. It is widely known that “cutting parties” will be held
where families will pool funds and have a ‘doctor’ flown in from the old
country to mutilate the families’ girls. Such “cutting parties” are known to
be most often held during school holidays, to give the girls a chance to
heal before going back to school. Amazingly, details like this are widely
known, and there have been numerous government studies of the practice
as it occurs in the UK– yet in the 30 years since FGM was criminalized, it
wasn’t until a couple of months ago that anyone has ever been
prosecuted under the law. That’s right– as far as the police and the
courts have been concerned, FGM has never once happened in the UK in the
past 30 years. Not because of lack of evidence, since it’s so widely known
how and when and where it happens– but because prosecution is
politically inconvenient.
.
For thirty years the PC pharisees have insisted that a blind eye be turned to
FGM as practiced by Her Majesty’s “Asian” subjects. It’s ironic that many if
not most of those PC enforcers would describe themselves as ‘feminists’,
yet they’ve perpetuated the suffering of these women all in the name of their
ideology. Rotherham is but the tip of the iceberg– the institutionalized
disconnect from reality demanded by the PC culture has caused untold
suffering in Britain.

The Labour Party lost its soul, when at Tony Blair’s behest it abandoned Clause Four of it constitution: “To secure for the workers by hand or by brain the full fruits of their industry and the most equitable distribution thereof that may be possible upon the basis of the common ownership of the means of production, distribution and exchange, and the best obtainable system of popular administration and control of each industry or service.”

FGM is not practised by the Asian community and is unknown on the Indian sub-continent.

In the UK, it is most widely practiced in the large Somali community, but also by members of the Eritrean, Sudanese and Yemini communities and by some Egyptians and Iraqui Kurds.

The Prohibition of Female Circumcision Act 1985 first created a specific offence, although, in 1976 the High Court of Justiciary in Scotland had found the indictment for the common law offence of Demembration of the Lieges of a grandmother, who had mutilated her granddaughter relevant to infer the pains of law.

The Prohibition of Female Genital Mutilation (Scotland) Act 2005 covers arranging the FGM of UK citizens or permanent residents anywhere in the world. This means that prosecutors may now take a wide latitude in averring the locus – “or elsewhere to the prosecutor unknown.”

Mr. Paterson-Seymour, FGM is indeed practiced in the Indian sub-continent,
certainly in Pakistan. There, especially in the southern province of Sindh, it
is widely practiced among the various minorities who were brought to the
region as slaves back in the 19th century. The WHO has also documented an
increasing occurrence of FGM in India, Malaysia, and Indonesia. However, you
are absolutely correct that the vast majority of those who practice FGM in the
UK are African in national origin.
.
MPS, I am sure you would know better than I whether or not the PC term “Asian”
as used in the UK is used exclusively as a euphemism for Pakistani and Indian
Muslims or if its use extends to Muslims in general. I am not British.
.
In the end, I think my point stands– it seems that the ideology of the PC class
in Britain would have been threatened by folks speaking frankly about what was
happening in Rotherham just as it would have been by looking into FGM as it is
practiced in the UK. And if an untold number of women and children were to
suffer because the PC mandarins preferred to disconnect from the reality of
what was going on in order to keep their precious fictions, then the PC mandarins
appear to have been fine with that.

In the UK, “Asian” is used exclusively to describe people from the Sub-Continent, India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. Nor is it confined to Muslims; Buddhists, Hindus, Jains and Sikhs are included. It is never e used to refer to the Chinese community, for example, nor people from the Arabian peninsula.

In France, where there have been 100s of prosecutions for FGM, Muslim women’s groups have been particularly vocal in their attacks on “Multiculturalism.” Thus, Sihem Habchi, former President of « Ni Putes Ni Soumises » [Neither Sluts nor Door-mats] has demanded, “No more justifications of our oppression in the name of the right to be different and of respect toward those men who force us to bow our heads”

She has been echoed by Muslim politicians, notably Rachida Dati, a former Minister of Justice (garde des Sceaux) in the Sarkozy government and by Fadela Amara, a former Secretary of State for Urban Policies. Nor are these lonely or isolated voices. Anyone who knows France and the French press will know that there is great concern about « communautarisme »,by which they mean ethnic and religious solidarities and allegiances that threaten to override Republican unity, whilst politicians, of the Left and Right, berate the perceived racism of “Anglo-Saxon” multiculturalism.

It wasn’t all racism on the part of the government. Some of the council bosses were themselves of Pakistani decent. The motives of these particular bosses may have been complex, but ultimately they were siding with their co-religious who were arguably following Quranic verses.

The Labour Party lost its soul, when at Tony Blair’s behest it abandoned Clause Four of it constitution:

The Labour Party lost its soul when it elected to fight political battles by packing the meeting with foreigners. The Democratic Party does the same here. Peter Hitchens has offered a brief memoir of his time as a student pinko and the disposition toward immigration amongst his fellows: they wanted immigration because they did not like Britain, and more foreigners dilutes the influence of native British.

Compare the biographies of Harry Truman and James Callaghan to those of Barack Obama and the Milliband brothers. That’s what’s happened to the Democratic Party and the Labour Party alike.

Supposedly, the department head who looked the other way during this disaster is the same individual who stripped a local couple of their franchise to have foster children and removed the children in their care because that couple were UKIP supporters.

I think the brave, honorable Sikhs stood by the English during the 1857 Sepoy Mutiny when the East India Company’s mercenary Hindu (new cartridges oiled with beef fat) and Muslim (greased with pork fat),savages based on a butcher’s list of excuses (same same as al Qaeda and ISIS fling about) similarly exhibited their courage toward English women and children.
.

Some contemporary Hindu Indians try to deny any good work the Brits may have accomplished, e.g., suppressing thousands of Ma Cali cult murderers and keeping at bay savage Pathans and bestial Russians.

You are right.

During the Mutiny, the Sikhs of the garrison at Lucknow remained faithful and the city was relieved by the 93rd Highlanders and the 4th Punjab Infantry. Hope Grant’s cavalry division also included the 2nd and 5th Punjab cavalry and Wale’s Sikh Horse and Campbell’s brigade included the 1st Sikh cavalry, all Sikh regiments.

It was at this time that the Punjab infantry adopted the pibroch of the Highlanders and their regimental lament is still the heart-rendingly beautiful “flowers of the Forest.”

Violating the sexual integrity of innocent minor children calls to heaven for rectitude. When Allah learns what crimes his followers are committing, Allah will reject them and their deeds.
Religion is acknowledging the truth and goodness Who is God; loving God and our neighbor as ourselves. Calling our neighbor “infidel” and claiming to know how he loves and thinks, claiming to live his life in his body for him and usurping power of attorney from him is not the way of religion or of Allah.
.
Peace at any price is a fancy way of saying cowardice. Throwing our innocent children to Molloch has no decent word to express the supreme idiocy of allowing crime to save oneself. This is nothing but stupidity. Britain has lost its mind and is no long Great.
.
n a couple of months this will get blamed on the Catholic Church just like the burning of Rome by Nero and the 800 bodies who never were.
.
The American Catholic goes a long way to informing the people of the truth of the matter. Viva Freedom of the press.

I suppose these misguided misfits would say regarding Ghanimah and FMG, “It is our custom”. To which the proper reply would be that of the Nineteenth Century British Officer regarding the practice in India of Suttee. To wit, if you erect a pyre to burn a man’s widow at his funeral, I will erect a gallows and hang you. For that is our custom.
