Pakistan lashes out at UK Home Secretary for discrimination against Pakistani men in addressing rape gangs

Pakistan’s foreign office is now criticizing British Home Secretary Suella Braverman for “’discriminatory and xenophobic’ comments after she said that British Pakistani men ‘hold cultural values at odds with British values’….Braverman also alleged British Pakistani men worked in child abuse rings or networks that targeted ‘vulnerable white English girls.’” Braverman is absolutely correct, but one more thing needs to be added: it isn’t mere “culture” that is involved in this. Some also insist that it is simply a “cultural” practice for Muslim women to be covered. It isn’t. It is a Qur’anic edict that is enforced inSharia states.

And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and be modest, and to display of their adornment only what is apparent, and to draw their veils over their bosoms, and not to reveal their adornment except to their own husbands or fathers or husbands’ fathers, or their sons or their husbands’ sons, or their brothers or their brothers’ sons or sisters’ sons, or their women, or their slaves, or male attendants who lack desire, or children who know nothing of women’s nakedness. And do not let them stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. And turn to Allah together, O believers, so that you may succeed. (Qur’an 24:31)

And if a woman is not covered:

O prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their veils close around them. That will be better, so that they may be recognized and not molested. Allah is always forgiving, merciful. (Qur’an 33:59)

The implication of Qur’an 33:59 is that a woman has a choice to either cover up or be abused. The former, according to the Qur’an, is a better choice than being molested. Despite the shocking news that “as many as one million white English children may have been the victims of Muslim rape gangs,” the truth about the ideology followed by these men is swept under the rug.

In 2018, the Daily Mail reported that police also recklessly ignored the sexual exploitation of Sikh girls by Muslim rape gangs due to political correctness. The media referenced these criminals as “Asian sex gangs,” or as just “grooming gangs,” in a further attempt to be politically correct. The Network of Sikh Organisations (NSO) rightly took issue with the term “Asian,” and editors’ group recommended an end to describing Muslim rape gangs as “Asian.”

Former Home Secretary and parliament member Jack Straw once said, “There’s a particular problem involving Pakistani heritage men who target young, vulnerable, white English girls.”

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak also recently pledged to clamp down on “sex-grooming gangs,” but unlike Braverman, he stopped short of identifying them as mostly Pakistani men, or “Muslim rape gangs.” Yet identifying a factual problem is not discrimination. It is a necessary step toward stopping the problem in question. The inconvenient truth is that Britain’s open borders and lax immigration practice have allowed in a multitude of migrants from Sharia-adherent countries whose views are completely incompatible with those of the West, and there are no expectations of assimilation. Instead, unreasonable accommodation is the policy; this is a threat to the safety and security of citizens. For example:

In France, a Muslim quoted Qur’an while raping his victim. A survivor of a Muslim rape gang in the UK has said that her rapists would quote the Qur’an to her, and believed their actions justified by Islam. Thus it came as no surprise when Muslim migrants in France raped a girl and videoed the rape while praising Allah and invoking the Qur’an. In India, a Muslim gave a Qur’an and a prayer rug to the woman he was holding captive and repeatedly raping. And the victim of an Islamic State jihadi rapist recalled: “He told me that according to Islam he is allowed to rape an unbeliever. He said that by raping me, he is drawing closer to God…He said that raping me is his prayer to God.” In India, a Muslim kidnapped and raped a 14-year-old Hindu girl, and forced her to read the Qur’an and Islamic prayers. In Pakistan, another Christian woman recounted that her rapist was also religious: “He threw me on the bed and started to rape me. He demanded I marry him and convert to Islam. I refused. I am not willing to deny Jesus and he said that if I would not agree he would kill me.” Rapists demanded that another girl’s family turn her over to them, claiming that she had recited the Islamic profession of faith during the rape and thus could not live among infidels.

Compounding the problem is the fact that Western leaders have not prioritized the urgency for all immigrants to assimilate and uphold the rule of law. For the past few decades, the fear of being branded “Islamophobic” has been a phobia in itself, which has contributed to the inaction against these predatory gangs. Back in 2017, Labour MP Naz Shah slammed MP Sarah Champion for pointing out that Pakistani men were “predominately” involved in grooming young girls for sexual abuse. Shah accused Champion of making “blanket, racialized, loaded statements” and branded her as “irresponsible.” Shah herself once retweeted a statement to the effect that Muslim rape gang victims should “shut up for the good of diversity.” She got away with it.

Braverman’s words about Pakistani men may be offensive to some, but her offense does not compare to the crimes of these Muslim rape gangs who ruined the lives of so many innocent girls. Although Braverman was correct in her identification of Pakistani men, the religious beliefs these offenders see as justification for their activities needs to be openly addressed.

Pakistan’s foreign office spokesperson Mehnaz Baloch on Wednesday condemned Braverman’s remarks which, he said, painted a “highly misleading picture signalling the intent to target and treat British Pakistanis differently”.

There is no such intent at all. This accusation is merely a ruse to cover up the aspects of Islamic belief and practice that are harmful to Western societies, such as teaching the inferiority of women and the permissibility of raping infidel women, as well as the shutting down of the freedom of expression to silence speech that might be deemed offensive to Islam.

British authorities and media have persistently danced around the subject of how Islamic supremacist ideology has been putting their population at risk. Too many adherents of this ideology view infidels as filth and women who do not cover up as “easy meat” who are fair game to be attacked. The Muslim rape gangs have been a threat to infidel girls for far too long. 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).

All Western countries need comprehensive statistical reviews to identify who is committing crimes, in order to work out a plan to keep citizens safe. It is often reported that non-Muslims commit the same crimes; however, one needs to weigh per capita data. What percentage of non-Muslims participate in rape gangs versus Muslims who do so? Instead, Leftists have partnered with Islamic supremacists as they try to make every important issue fit woke ideologies of victimhood while ignoring the real victims and sowing the seeds of discord everywhere. Law-abiding visible minorities who uphold freedom are just as concerned as everyone else is about the prevalence of Muslim rape gangs, as can be seen in regard to Suella Braverman and the UK Sikh community, yet these minorities are often ignored as the woke brand their opponents as “white supremacists.”

“Braverman words on British Pakistani men discriminatory: Pakistan,” Al Jazeera, April 5, 2023:

Pakistan’s foreign office has criticised British Home Secretary Suella Braverman for “discriminatory and xenophobic” comments after she said that British Pakistani men “hold cultural values at odds with British values”.

In an interview with Sky News on Monday, Braverman also alleged British Pakistani men worked in child abuse rings or networks that targeted “vulnerable white English girls”.

Pakistan’s foreign office spokesperson Mehnaz Baloch on Wednesday condemned Braverman’s remarks which, he said, painted a “highly misleading picture signalling the intent to target and treat British Pakistanis differently”.

Baloch said Braverman had “erroneously branded criminal behaviour of some individuals as a representation of the entire community”.

“She fails to take note of the systemic racism and ghettoisation of communities and omits to recognise the tremendous cultural, economic and political contributions that British Pakistanis continue to make in British society,” Baloch said in her weekly briefing in the Pakistani capital, Islamabad…..
