Muslim Sex-Grooming Gangs

By Leo Hohmann

In Britain, they call it “sex grooming.”

In the Netherlands, they’re called “Lover Boys.”

But the phenomenon is the same. A gang of Muslim “Asians” of mostly Pakistani descent seeks out, pursues, chats up and cultivates school girls for sex, turning them into bodies for sale.

A new book is out that the European left is trying its best to ignore. It contains research that blows away the theory, widely reported in the media, that it’s a tiny minority of Muslim men involved in the rape gangs and then only in one British town, Rotherham.

Author Peter McLaughlin argues in his exhaustive study, “Easy Meat: Inside Britain’s Grooming Gang Scandal,” that it’s at least 300 Muslim men who were preying on girls in Rotherham over a 16-year period. And the same type of gangs have been operating in dozens of cities across the United Kingdom, as well as in Muslim areas of the Netherlands and Sweden.

“In 2008 one of the policing agencies having to do with sex trafficking commissioned a 20-minute educational video to be shown to school girls to show how the gangs operate,” McLoughlin told WND. “They hang around schools and malls and use an attractive young man to convince them he wants to be their boyfriend and he gets them to drink and do drugs and then she has sex with him and later his ‘brothers’ and his ‘uncles’ and whomever else he pimps her out to.”

That video was never actually shown to the girls, he said. And Britain’s homage to political correctness led police and child-welfare advocates to cover up what was happening for fear of being called racists.

Watch video postulating that it’s unrealistic to believe the Rotherham rape scandal was an isolated incident perpetrated by a few Muslims in one city:

Even today, after the media spotlight has finally shined on the problem, there exists an element of denial as to its scope.

“In Britain people just keep talking about Rotheram and 1,400 victims because, to them, it’s just one town,” McLoughlin told WND. “It’s a big number but it’s not a shocking number. When you say it’s multiple towns and between 100,000 and 350,000 victims, it’s just so big you can’t take it in.”

Up until four years ago most Brits couldn’t place Rotherham on a map, he said.

“That town is completely ordinary. There is nothing unusual about it. It contains 1/250th of the population of the U.K.,” he said. “So there are the equivalent of 250 towns that size and Rotherham also has a slightly lower than average number of Muslim residents.

“So if you do the math: Take 1,400 victims, and that’s a conservative estimate, and multiply 1,400 by 250 and you get 350,000 (victims),” McLoughlin said.

“At least 40 towns have been named in this context but that doesn’t mean it’s not going on in far more.”

He said Muslims make up 5 percent of the population in Britain but have accounted for 90 percent of the sex-gang convictions.

In one area of northeast England, in and around Newcastle, 44 men were charged. All but six, possibly seven, were Muslim.

There have been more than 200 convictions so far in cities across the country, but McLoughlin says this likely amounts to less than 1 percent of the Muslim men who were involved.

How it started

McLoughlin, an Internet technology specialist by trade, said his interest in the sex-grooming gangs was sparked by a 2004 documentary film “Edge of the City.” It included the stories of two British women whose daughters were being abused by grooming gangs in Bradford, a city in west Yorkshire. The film was immediately labeled “racist” by the BBC and other establishment media.

Like many Brits, McLoughlin didn’t believe what he saw in the controversial film. The  victims were as young as 10 and 11 years old.

“I didn’t believe it was going on until 2009 when someone told me it was happening to their child. In 2010 I met another family,” McLoughlin told WND. “One involved the family’s niece who had been seduced by a Pakistani gang in Chester and in the other case it was a Somali gang in South London. So I had two cases in two different parts of the country that got me started on this.”

For the first two years starting in 2014 McLoughlin gave away his books to anyone who would read them.

“I didn’t want people to say ‘you’re making money off of this,'” he said.

A nation in denial

Then he found a publisher, New English Review, which took on the project last year. The books started rolling off the presses in March.

“And so far we’re seeing absolutely no interest in the book in England,” he told WND. “People are buying it, but there have been no book reviews in any newspapers or periodicals, no requests for interviews from media. It’s a cover-up.”

Between 1988 and 2011 there was virtually no mention in the British media of the problem with grooming gangs.

“One of the things that struck me was that people could deny this was going on when there was no information available,” McLoughlin said.

With the publication of “Easy Meat” the denials are no longer possible.

He said public officials, from police to child welfare agencies, all did their best to make sure no data was collected that would show the pattern of Muslim men raping young girls.

Rotherham was the exception, purely by accident.

“One of the things the childcare professionals have done is make sure there is no data,” he said. “And the reason Rotherham has become emblematic and distinct is that Rotherham by accident had a private organization working for the local government called Risky Business. And what it did was ask these victims for details of who was doing these horrible things to them.”

The private agency built case files and took them to police.

“And so because of this organization there is data for Rotherham,” he said.

Strangely, the offices of Risky Business were broken into and many of their files stolen.

“So there are indications police officers were involved in the pimping out and exploitation of the girls,” McLoughlin said. “One officer who was being investigated died mysteriously in a car crash last year.”

With so much information now available, the establishment media and politicians can no longer deny the Rotherham tragedy. Instead, they attempt to minimize it, he said.

That doesn’t change the fact that a huge cover-up took place to hide decades of sexual abuse of English school girls.

Only one female journalist would write about the Muslim gangs with any semblance of honest journalism and she was accused of being “racist” even though she was a left-leaning feminist, McLoughlin said.

“If Rotherham has this problem with 1,400 victims, and that’s a conservative figure, then the local newspaper must have known about it,” he said. “And if the same is true in the other towns, and they all don’t publish anything about it, then it’s like the problem doesn’t exist.”

But they can’t claim ignorance now. McLoughlin’s 130,000 words of documentation, photographs, scanned documents and end notes stand as a huge obstacle between the willfully ignorant and the truth.

“I think it’s the biggest political scandal in 100 years. I don’t have any children myself and this is the last thing I ever thought I would do is write a book about this subject,” he said. “I work in IT. I didn’t want people to say I was trying to capitalize on this problem so I spent two years writing this book with the purpose of wanting to preserve for future generations the record of what happened.

“It’s such a shocking problem,” he continued. “The idea that a country would welcome immigrants, offer them every sort of benefit and rights, in some ways superior rights to its own citizens, and then to stand by and let them organize the baiting and prostitution of school girls is just outrageous. If we did not know about this and document it you would not believe it.”

Importing a culture of rape

In fact, rape is deeply ensconced in the Muslim culture dating back to the seventh century and Muhammad himself, a panel of Islam scholars tells WND.

Daniel Akbari, a former top Shariah defense lawyer in Iran before he converted to Christianity and defected to the U.S., is a recognized expert in Islamic honor violence and recently authored a book on the topic, “Honor Killing: A Professional’s Guide to Sexual Relations and Ghayra Violence from the Islamic Sources.”

Akbari said Islamic migrants bring a culture to their adopted homelands in the West that is foreign to the Judeo-Christian mindset of female equality.

“These men come from Islamic communities in which any association with females other than unmarriageable kin is prohibited and subject to the Islamic punishment of flogging,” he said. “When these Muslim men immigrate to Western countries where women are free to dress and behave as they wish, they become turbulent.”

This “turbulent” behavior is acted out when confronted by Western women who move about freely and dress as they wish.

“For their entire lives these men have been taught that the women who do not wear a hijab and show skin are like whores,” Akbari told WND. “They also assume that only Muslim women who follow sharia rules for women’s dress and conduct, wear a hijab, lower their gaze, do not laugh or eat in public, and do not go out of house without their unmarriageable kin men escorting them deserve respect.”

Even when the victim of a sexual assault is a Muslim woman, the Shariah court will blame her for the crime if she failed to follow Shariah rules for women’s dress and conduct, Akbari said. And she must have multiple male witnesses to testify on her behalf.

But what about the non-Muslim woman? The Shariah rule is clear, says Akbari.

“Merely being a non-Muslim woman provides Muslim men with a legitimate Islamic excuse to justify their sexual harassment,” he said.

There are exceptions under Shariah for Jewish and Christian women, which the Quran calls “people of the Book,” but those exceptions come with a high price.

“Christian or Jewish women who live in lands controlled by Islamic governments are exempted from the rule if they have made a Dhimmi contract with the Islamic ruler promising to respect specific boundaries and limitations on their fundamental rights,” he said.” And they must pay jizya (tax).”

Not all Muslims know these rules, he said, but the general cultural beliefs about women are deeply ingrained. “Because for centuries all these rules have been practiced in their communities, they know by heart how to distinguish between a women who deserves respect and the one who does not.”

Timothy Furnish, a historian of Islam who authors the Mahdi Watch blog and whose latest book is “Secrets, Lies and the Caliphate: 10 Years of Observations about Islam,” said Islam has a very different view of women than Christianity or Judaism.

“Islam perpetuates that men should dominate women in sexual matters culture, as per Sura al-Nisa’ and the examples of Muhammad, who had as many as 11 wives,” Furnish said, citing Quran 4:3 and 34.

See list of Muhammad’s wives and concubines.

“Also, the afterlife in Islam holds the sexual ‘houris’ for men, but nothing for women.”

The houris (explained here) are jinn-like “sex kittens,” available to Islamic men in the afterlife, Furnish explained.

Do these beliefs lead to rape while Muslim men are living here on Earth?

“Not directly,” says Furnish, “But it certainly posits females (both humans and houris) as primarily existing to sexually gratify men, and that can lead Muslim men to see all women that way.”

It goes back to Muhammad

Another scholar, author and filmmaker G.M. Davis, whose latest work is “House of War: Islam’s Jihad Against the World,” devotes a section to Islam’s view of women.

“In seventh century Arabic tribal culture, women were seen as commodities to be bought, sold, or otherwise appropriated as one was able, an attitude that Islam has perpetuated,” writes Davis.

Davis cites the example of Muhammad granting permission to a fellow jihadist to take the slave girl Safiya following the massacre of the Jewish tribe Bani Nadir at a place called Khaibar, as documented by hadith narrator Abdul Aziz.

“We conquered Khaibar, took the captives and the booty was collected. Dihya came and said, ‘O Allah’s Prophet! Give me a slave girl from the captives.’ The Prophet said, ‘Go and take any slave girl.’ He took Safiya bin Huyai.”

As it turned out, Muhammad saw Safiya and decided he wanted her for himself.

“The hapless slave girl Safiya appears as little more than a prestigious trophy to be haggled over and traded at the will of the victors,” Davis writes. “It is the same mentality that gave rise to the Muslim rape epidemic that has plagued major cities in Sweden and Norway, in which Muslims routinely attack unveiled women.”

Muhammad’s treatment of the slave girl’s husband is even more disturbing — he was tortured with a hot iron on his chest until he told the location of his treasure, then beheaded.

More than 25 years of exploitation

McLoughlin said the organized seduction of English school girls by Muslim rape gangs has been going on since at least 1988.

“That was the earliest public document I was able to find,” he said.

“I got into it from a position of, well, it’s a story that’s basically being concealed in Britain,” he said. “And I have a feeling it’s being concealed in other countries as well.”

The member of Parliament who represents Rotherham, Sarah Champion, has estimated there could be as many as 1 million victims across the U.K.

But McLoughlin sticks with his “conservative” estimate of 100,000 to 350,000 victims.

“There’s an aspect of which I don’t wish to believe it’s a million victims, because it’s too shameful for us as a nation to have allowed something like that to happen,” he said. “We effectively have an army of childcare professionals and police officers — it dwarfs the size of the British army — that has ignored and denied this problem for decades.”

Even after hundreds of convictions and Parliamentary hearings, there is still not “full honesty” about the subject of grooming gangs in Britain, McLoughlin said.

“And what’s going on in Rotherham now is the state and the media have turned all their attention on this one town, as if this one town is singularly bad, when there’s all kinds of evidence to suggest this is going on in towns across the country,” he said. “We just don’t have the data in the other towns.”

The Sweet Face of Islam

By Richard Butrick

Face of an Angel with a Heart Full of Hate

After a nasty terrorist attack one can expect to read about how unrepresentative of the true doctrines of Islam such acts are. Not infrequently we are treated to the remarks of an attractive young Muslim woman explaining that Islam is the religion of peace, inclusion and justice for all. Usually we are reassured that Muslims love America and are patriotic, Constitution-supporting citizens. Recently, Republican Muslim Coalition President Saba Ahmed draped in an American flag, proclaimed that she was a proud, patriotic American. After Trump’s misguided remarks that due to terrorist attacks (San Bernardino) Muslims in America needed to wear identification, the Facebook post of Marwa Balkar went viral:

I chose the peace sign because it represents my #Islam. The one that taught me to oppose #injustice and yearn for #unity. The one that taught me that killing one innocent life is equivalent to killing humanity.

One is naturally inclined to believe that someone who is a Muslim and is brought up in a Muslin community knows whereof he/she speaks. And that may be quite correct as regards their assessment of the attitudes of their own community. But it does not follow that that they speak with great knowledge of the Koran or Sunnah or of Sharia law. Even less does it follow that they understand the ultimate agenda of the various Islamic front groups in the U.S. that are affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood or the Wahhabi supported fronts of Saudi Arabia. They may be recruited by such organizations to put a nice face on Islam but that hardly means that that is what the ultimate agenda is of such organizations.

As a case in point, here is an interesting account of the rude awakening of a Muslim American who grew up in a patriotic Muslim community in Hamtramck, Michigan.

As a Muslim growing up in the United States, I was taught by my imams and the community around me that Islam is a religion of peace. My family modeled love for others and love for country, and not just by their words. My father served in the U.S. Navy throughout my childhood, starting as a seaman and retiring as a lieutenant commander. I believed wholeheartedly a slogan often repeated at my mosque after 9/11: “The terrorists who hijacked the planes also hijacked Islam.”

Yet as I began to investigate the Quran and the traditions of Muhammad’s life for myself in college, I found to my genuine surprise that the pages of Islamic history are filled with violence. How could I reconcile this with what I had always been taught about Islam?

The point being that in the last analysis the rank and file and acolytes of Islam can be led to believe whatever their handlers at the time find it tactically expedient for them to believe as they are led down road to Islam Uber Alles. In particular, what matters is the real agenda and beliefs of Islam’s front organizations and their leaders. And what is maddeningly incompressible about that is the extent to which the Muslim Brotherhood and the Saudis have been able to dupe U.S. leadership. Hiding behind the Islamophobia ruse, front groups in the U.S. have suckered the Obama administration into believing in the patriotic, constitution supporting sweet face of Islam, here are the real agendas.

The Saudi agenda. For decades, the Saudis sent ambassadors who were “just like us,” drinking expensive scotch, partying hard, playing tennis with our own political royalty, and making sure that American corporations and key individuals made money. A lot of money. In return the Saudi’s got to fund their Wahhabi supremacist, Jew hating, female subjugating message in their mosques and madrassahs. This despite the fact that the Saudis would never let us fund a church or synagogue in Saudi Arabia.

And the 28 pages excised from the 9/11 Commission’s report? Those pages allegedly document Saudi complicity. Our own government kept those revelations from the American people. Because, even after 9/11, the Saudis were “our friends.”

The Muslim Brotherhood agenda. The Muslim Brotherhood was founded in 1928 by Islamic cleric (and Hitler admirer) Hassan al-Banna after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire.

The group seeks as its end-game to install a Sunni Islamic caliphate throughout the world. The explicit goal of the Muslim Brotherhood. as stated by al-Banna, is that given that is the nature “of Islam to dominate, not to be dominated, to impose its law on all nations and to extend its power to the entire planet.” Both former Al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden and ISIS “caliph” Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi were members of the Brotherhood. Its current spiritual leader, Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, has a knack for bashing Jews and praising Nazis. The Muslim Brotherhood’s motto remains: “Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. Qur’an is our law. Jihad is our way. Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope.”

Yet the president continues to regard the various front groups of MB as legitimate organization combating Islamophobia and acting as “rational agents” in the political arena. In fact, he has just had the leaders of the following Islamic front organization over to the White House on Muslim Brotherhood Day: CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations); MPAC (Muslim Public Affairs Counci); ISNA (Islamic Society of North America).

All these groups have funneled money to terrorist groups, regard Israel as a terrorist nation and reject the designation of Hamas and Hizb’allah as terrorist groups. And, most importantly, support the imposition of Sharia.

Hijacked Islam? When Muslims (Sunni, Shia) have the upper hand is there any other kind? Meanwhile Islam’s useful idiots dance the taqiyya on the yellow brick road to dhimmitude.

Feminists Need To Know — Islam Kills Women

By Anne Marie Waters

I used to be a feminist, but I gave it up so I could speak out for women’s rights. Even before the “intersectional”, “how many genders are there?” lunacy took over, feminism was filled to bursting with types who think men are misogynists who all secretly want to rape us (this despite the fact that men are among the greatest supporters of women’s rights) and a happily married mother is some kind of traitor.

The kind of people, in other words, who nobody in their right mind could possibly get along with.

While I will always speak out for women to maintain our just civil rights, I do want Sharia Watch to spend significantly more time on freedom of speech (we will run an autumn campaign ‘Islam Kills Free Speech’) and the impact of Islam on children, but before I do, I intend to spend the summer doing something very important – informing the ludicrous feminists of today of something they desperately need to know: Islam Kills Women.

Islam Kills Women is a joint effort between Sharia Watch UK and Examine-Islam.org  It aims to do one thing and one thing only, show the world just why it is that women are treated so utterly appallingly in every Muslim society on earth.

As well as producing articles from various writers and information packs and videos, I will challenge every feminist organisation in Britain to debate me, so that they can attempt to prove me wrong.  When they realise that they cannot do this, I invite them to stand alongside me at the culmination of this campaign – a protest rally to be held outside Parliament on August 20th.

Islam kills women not only physically – although of course it does – but it kills the spirit of far greater numbers.  From birth, girls are degraded and humiliated, most often by their own mothers.  These girls accept their status and then pass it on to their own daughters in an endless cycle of what can only be described as evil.

Often forced in to marriage, forced to live with domestic violence, and enslaved under a system of ‘honour’, life can be sheer misery for girls unfortunate enough to have been born in to Islam.  To top it off, many will have their clitoris cut off so that sex will be painful and they can suffer the further humiliation of incontinence and other side-effects.

All of this, but all of it, is maintained and sustained and justified by Islam.  That is a matter of fact. I will prove it right now.

One of the most contentious is FGM so let me start there.  FGM is sanctioned by Islam. Fact. There are several hadiths which justify it.  You can read these here, but I shall recount just one which should be enough to ring a few bells: “Abu al-Malih ibn `Usama’s father relates that the Prophet said: “Circumcision is a law for men and a preservation of honour for women.”’ Ahmad Ibn Hanbal 5:75; Abu Dawud, Adab 167.

While it is true that some Islamic “scholars” have condemned FGM, many others promote it and use hadiths to do so. The Muslim Brotherhood for example pushed for FGM when it took over Egypt, and in  “moderate” Indonesia, where somewhere between 80 and 100 per cent of girls suffer this mutilation, 100 per cent of women interviewed believed it to be an Islamic obligation. According to ‘Stop FGM Mid East’ the practice did not exist in Indonesia until the introduction of Islam.

Let’s move on to forced marriage.  Child marriage is rife in the Muslim world, and it is not, as some suggest, simply a consequence of extreme poverty.  The Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia, for example, has endorsed it on Islamic grounds for the simple reason that Mohammed married a sex year old, therefore it must be permissible.

The relevant hadith is this: “The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage with her while she was nine years old and she remained with him for nine years (i.e. till his death)” (Bukhari 7.62.88)

Iran allows the marriage of nine-year-old girls based on these same hadiths, and recent attempts in Pakistan to prevent child marriage were stopped by the Council of Islamic Ideology who deemed it “blasphemous” and “un-Islamic”.  The chairman of the council helpfully explained: “Parliament cannot create legislation that is against the teachings of the Holy Quran or Sunnah.”

Stoning to death sounds just too terrible to be true.  It sounds like something from pre-history that couldn’t possibly be happening today, but it is – in one kind of society only, Islamic society.  It is a punishment used almost exclusively on women accused of committing adultery.  I say ‘accused’ because that is all it takes, she has no defence.

Remember that under Islamic law, a woman’s word is worth half of a man’s, so if her husband accuses her, her denial is worthless and she will be found guilty on his word alone. This is brilliantly illustrated in the hard-to-watch movie ‘The Stoning of Soraya M’, a true story about the stoning of a young mother in Iran on the word of her husband only; he simply wanted rid of her. Her father and sons joined in with the stoning.

Stoning for adultery occurs under Islamic law for a reason that you may by now be able to guess: it was endorsed by Mohammed. There are several Islamic sources to back this up. I will recount just one part of Sahih Bukhari 3:50:885 which reads: Allah’s Apostle said, “By Him in Whose Hands my soul is, I will judge between you according to Allah’s Laws. The slave-girl and the sheep are to be returned to you, your son is to receive a hundred lashes and be exiled for one year. You, Unais, go to the wife of this (man) and if she confesses her guilt, stone her to death.” Unais went to that woman next morning and she confessed. Allah’s Apostle ordered that she be stoned to death.

Domestic and honour violence can be banded together as I believe they emanate from one verse of the Koran – Sura 4, verse 34, which reads: “Men have authority over women by [right of] what Allah has given one over the other and what they spend [for maintenance] from their wealth. So righteous women are devoutly obedient, guarding in [the husband’s] absence what Allah would have them guard. But those [wives] from whom you fear arrogance – [first] advise them; [then if they persist], forsake them in bed; and [finally], strike them.”

Could this verse be any clearer?  Women must obey and if they don’t, you may use violence against them. This can, and in practice does, justify all kinds of horrors against women. It is very clear that if the men in her family don’t approve of her conduct, they can beat her for it.

I have not even scratched the surface. The oppression of women in Islamic countries is by far the cruellest in the world. No other major societies treat their women in this way and that is not an unfortunate coincidence, it is the direct result of these and many other teachings in Islamic scripture.

With all of this evidence in front of them, my challenge to British feminists is this: will you admit the truth in what I have written, and do you want this religion to have more or less influence in countries where women have fought and died for their freedom?

If, like me, you want to see a religion like this have zero influence, will you stand with me and oppose its import via mass immigration as Sharia Watch and Examine Islam intend to do on August 20th?

My guess is that you will not. You will not even respond to my requests, and you certainly won’t have the courage to debate me. You will continue to pretend that the truth is bigotry and that the lie is moral, and you will continue to deny the most pertinent truth about the treatment of women in the Middle East, Africa, and increasingly in Europe – this abhorrent treatment of women has everything to do with Islam.

ISIS or Islam: Which Breeds Terrorism?

By Raymond Ibrahim

A lie conceals the truth. And hidden truths never have a chance of being acknowledged, addressed, and ultimately ameliorated.

Because of this simple truism, one of the greatest lies of our age -- that violence committed in the name of Islam has nothing to do with Islam -- has made an intrinsically weak Islam the scourge of the modern world, with no signs of relief on the horizon.

One of the latest manifestations of this lie took place in Pakistan. On Easter Sunday, a suicide bombing took place near the children's rides of a public park, where Christians were congregated and celebrating the resurrection of their Lord. At least 74 people -- mostly Christian women and children -- were killed. Nearly 400 were injured.

Recalled a witness:

There was human flesh on the walls of our house.

Who -- or what -- was responsible for this assault? “We claim responsibility for the attack on Christians as they were celebrating Easter,” said Jamaatul Ahraar, a splinter group of the Taliban. In a media statement, the group said it “deliberately targeted the Christian community”:

We had been waiting for this occasion.

The Taliban is not alone. Look here, here, here, and here for examples of similarly lethal attacks on Christians celebrating Christmas or Easter by other Islamic groups and individuals around the world, who also “had been waiting for this occasion.” Even “the terror cell that struck in Brussels (last month, killing 34) was planning to massacre worshippers at Easter church services across Europe, including Britain, intelligence chiefs believe.”

Even so, connecting the dots and understanding what binds all Islamic terrorist groups is a big no-no for mainstream media.

The problem, we will be told, is the “Taliban,” which “has nothing to do with Islam.” Rather, it’s a finite, temporal, localized problem: defeat it and the problem vanishes.

Yet meanwhile -- about 5,000 miles west of the Taliban's territory -- in Nigeria, Christians are also under attack. According to a new report, since 2000 about 12,000 Christians have been slaughtered for their faith and 13,000 churches destroyed.

Just last month, over 500 Christians were butchered. According to the official narrative, something called “Boko Haram” is responsible. This is another group that defines itself exclusively according to Islam, another group that habitually bombs churches during Christmas and Easter, another group that we are told “has nothing to do with Islam.” Again, this group represents a finite, temporal, localized problem: defeat it and the problem vanishes.

About 5,000 miles west of Nigeria, Americans were told that something called “al-Qaeda” attacked and killed 3,000 of their countrymen -- and that defeating that finite group would cease the terror.

Its leader Osama bin Laden was killed, and victory was proclaimed -- except that an even more savage manifestation, this time called the “Islamic State” (it too “has nothing to do with Islam”), arose and has gone further than al-Qaeda could’ve ever dreamed, in great part thanks to the Obama administration.

The problem is not simply that media and decision-makers refuse to connect the dots and insist on treating each of the aforementioned groups as disparate, finite groups with different motivations, none of which is Islam.

The larger problem is that regular Muslims who are not called “Taliban,” “Boko Haram,” “al-Qaeda,” “ISIS,” ad infinitum, commit similar acts, and much more frequently.

Although the “Taliban” was behind the recent Easter Day massacre, everyday Muslims also discriminate against, persecute, enslave, rape, and murder Christians every day in Pakistan (click here for a typical month).

Everyday Muslims who burned a young Christian couple alive due to unsubstantiated rumors that they had insulted Muhammad. Every day, Muslims regularly rape and sometimes murder Christian girls (and boys) because they are subhuman “infidels.”

Those who slaughtered 500 Christians last month in Nigeria were not “Boko Haram.” They were un-affiliated (but Muslim) herdsmen.

Likewise, “Northern Muslim political and religious elite are also major actors of targeted violence towards the Christian minority.”

Although ISIS claimed the Brussels attack, everyday Muslims ban, burn, bomb, and urinate on churches, and as in Pakistan and other Muslim majority nations, target non-Muslim European women for rape on the basis that they are subhuman “infidels.”

The media likes covering this horror when terrorist groups are responsible for especially spectacular attacks, because the media can follow with the customary admonition that they “have nothing to do with Islam.” But few dare acknowledge when Muslims in general engage in acts of violence and intolerance against non-Muslims.

According to a recent study, Muslims  -- of all races, nationalities, languages, and socio-political and economic circumstances, hardly just “terror groups” -- are responsible for persecuting Christians in 41 of the 50 worst nations to live in as a Christian.

These statistics are consistent with a recent Pew poll finding that in 11 countries alone, at least 63 million and as many as 287 million Muslims support ISIS.

Similarly, 81% of respondents to an Al Jazeera poll supported the Islamic State.

What “extremist,” “terrorist,” and “militant” groups (that “have nothing to do with Islam”) are doing is but the tip of the iceberg of what Muslims are doing all around the world.

(See “Muslim Persecution of Christians,” reports which I’ve been compiling every month since July 2011. Nonstop violence and carnage is committed by “everyday” Muslims against Christians. Each monthly report contains dozens of atrocities -- any of which, if committed by Christians against Muslims, would receive 24/7 blanket coverage.)

Media aren’t just covering up for Islam by pretending the attacks committed by Islamic groups on non-Muslims “have nothing to do with Islam. “ They also cover up for Islam by failing to report the everyday persecution non-Muslims experience at the hands of everyday Muslims -- Muslim governments (including the governments of “U.S. friends and allies”), Muslim mobs, and Muslim individuals -- not just Muslim “terrorists.”

Because of these entrenched lies, the world must continue to suffer from Islamic terror. Not only have these lies allowed countless innocents to be persecuted into oblivion in the Muslim world, but they have allowed the same persecution to enter America and Europe, most recently via mass immigration.

The fact remains: an ugly truth must first be acknowledged before it can be addressed and fixed. It may be hard to acknowledge an ugly truth -- that Islam, not “radical Islam,” promotes hate for and violence against non-Muslims -- but anything less will continue to feed the lie and feed the jihad on innocents.
