When Progressives Consider Child-Rape Defensible

Rotherham-abusers_3018211bThe umpteenth case of child sex abuse in Britain perpetrated by Muslims, the Rotherham abuse case, has understandably left the self-proclaimed “progressives” and multiculturalists in disarray. The Leftist media outlets are on the defensive but still trying to maintain their ground.

Their best weapons are to distract public attention by diverting it to whatever has not been committed by Muslims, and the use of double standards, of which the most shocking example is the differential treatment of Muslims versus the Catholic Church.

The same people, assorted Leftists and secularists, who immediately jumped to the conclusion that all Catholic clergymen are either directly involved in paedophile abuse or in its cover-up are now bending over backwards to deny any connection between the Muslim grooming and sex-slavery gangs and Islam.

An article in The Guardian by Slovenian Marxist psychoanalyst Slavoj Žižek, included by Foreign Policy in its 2012 list of Top 100 Global Thinkers (no less), seems to condemn but in fact displays this behaviour. Deceitfully entitled “Rotherham child sex abuse: it is our duty to ask difficult questions,” it covers just about everything but Rotherham – and generally Muslim — child sex abuse.

The word “Muslim” appears twice, “Islam” once, “Islamophobic” once, “Catholic” three times (the same number as “priests” and “racism”), plus assorted uses of “Christian” and “Christianity”.

It doesn’t talk about Islam at all, except to briefly mention women’s second place within it, but immediately prevents the reader from dwelling on the subject too much: “Without blaming Islam as such (which is in itself no more misogynistic than Christianity)…”

The most ironic part of the piece is where Žižek blames his comrades for doing the same thing as he does:

The left exhibited the worst of political correctness, mostly via generalisations: perpetrators were vaguely designated as “Asians”, claims were made that it was not about ethnicity and religion but about the domination of men over women, plus who are we – with our church paedophilia and Jimmy Savile – to adopt a high moral ground against a victimised minority.

The double standard in this kind of coverage and comment is so gigantic that it’s better described as a total reversal of the truth.

We have on one hand Muslim paedophile and sex-slave gangs who act in total accordance with Islam on many levels. To begin with, Muhammad, the model man for all Muslims worthy of the name, gave the good example by marrying a 6-year-old, Aisha, and consummating their marriage when she was 9. He also owned sex slaves. Both sex with underage, even pre-menstruating, girls and sex slavery – both relevant to the Rotherham case — are permissible in Islamic Scriptures and law. Even today, child marriage is commonly practised in the Muslim world.

In fact, in Pakistan – the country of origin of most of the UK child groomers or their families –

according to UNICEF, child marriages accounted for 32 per cent of all marriages in the country from 1987 to 2005…

Around 100 million girls are expected to enter into child marriage in the next decade. [Emphasis added.]

Pakistan has or has had the world record for paedophilia-related Internet searches, such as “child sex video.” Child molestation in Punjab, a region of Pakistan where 97.21% of the population is Muslim, has reached alarming levels, and “68 percent [of] girls and 32 percent [of] boys have been the victims of paedophilia.”

Add to all this the contempt which Muslims have for white women, considered as “easy meat” due to the way they dress and their drinking habits, and you can easily see that the disproportionate representation of Muslims among those convicted for child rape, grooming of girls for sex, and child prostitution in the UK – 91%, while Muslims are 4-5% of the total population – is not coincidental.

The arguments for linking the epidemic of paedophile rings in Britain with its Muslim immigrant population are strong, solidly founded and well-reasoned. The bias and distortion of the facts are on the part of those who deny them, contrary to all evidence.

We then have on the other hand an extensive media treatment, that lasted for a very long time, of the Catholic Church as a hotbed of paedophilia, vigorously connecting it to its preaching, including chastity, whereas in fact the overwhelming majority of sex offenders have wives or girlfriends.

In reality, research on the subject shows exactly the opposite of the Left’s claims. These are the main findings in the USA: Catholic priests who ever abused minors are less than 2%, the same figure for Protestant clergy is 2-3%, and most of the abusers are not clergy or staff, but Church volunteers; the figure for rabbis within organised Judaism is 2-3%.

In secular institutions the abuse is even more widespread.

The most reasonable conclusion is that the Catholic Church, far from being especially connected to paedophilia – which it condemns — has itself partly succumbed to the ethos of our age, although greatly less than other institutions dealing with children.

While the Left was caught unaware, the British political Right and its warnings about the dangers of Islam have been vindicated by the Rotherham outrage. The UK public, in the middle, may be – ever so slightly – waking up to the reality of the “religion of peace”.

The BBC says:

Islamic State extremism and the Rotherham abuse scandal are fuelling a far-right backlash in the UK, one of the Home Office’s most senior advisers on right-wing extremism has said…

But the Institute for Strategic Dialogue claims the government must engage more with the far right.

After what former Rotherham MP Denis MacShane admitted:

Perhaps yes, as a true Guardian reader, and liberal leftie, I suppose I didn’t want to raise that too hard…

[I] should have done more to investigate child abuse…

Maybe “liberal leftie,” “Guardian reader” and “multiculturalist” should finally become dirty words, insults of the same grade as “fascist”?

Saturday 20th September the English Defence League (EDL) held a demonstration in Downing Street in front of the Prime Minister’s residence over this scandal, which I attended.

I had never been to an EDL demo before. Yes, they are working class, heavily tattooed, and — with their flag waving, slogan chanting and raucous singing — closely resembling beer-drinking football fans in appearance and behaviour. But they are decent folks doing their bit in a legal and peaceful way for their own country and all ours, for the survival of Western civilisation. Their courage and commitment are unfortunately not widely matched in the general population.

The EDL’s bad reputation in the public perception is largely due to the kind of media reporting we are well used to. In the same way as Christians being slaughtered all over the Islamic world is for the media equally-balanced “sectarian violence,” and Israel’s reaction to Hamas rockets is “indiscriminate bombing of civilians,” so the throwing of stones and bottles at EDL crowds by the Leftist thugs of UAF (Unite Against Fascism, an offshoot of the Socialist Workers Party) becomes for the BBC and mainstream press “clashes between the UAF and the English Defence League.”

Just witness this ABC News report in which the “hate next door” in the title incongruously doesn’t refer to radical Islam, but to the EDL that tries to protect us from it.

The leader of my party, Liberty GB, Paul Weston, looking at some litter from the food and drinks consumed by the 400-500 people attending the demonstration, tidily kept in a corner, pointed out to me how you never see that at events organised by the “liberals,” where garbage is left all over the place.

Liberty GB is considering fielding as a candidate in Rotherham at the 2015 British Parliament elections a former Muslim who converted to Christianity.

Paul Weston gave a brilliant, passionate speech in front of the Prime Minister’s residence, culminating in “Cameron, you’re a liar and you’re a traitor!”

From the pen (a cage would have been better) in which the police wisely kept them, the only contribution to the subject of the Rotherham child-grooming gangs coming from the “counterdemonstration” of the UAF was “Nazi scum!” which is more or less their only “argument” against the critics of Islam.

    Pedophiles are the next “sexual minority” the Left will promote, just as they pushed the entire Giblet/homo movement.

    • Bamaguje

      Don’t you know the right to sexually assault children is in the constitution?
      Just like gay marriage.

      • JB Ziggy Zoggy

        And sharia.

  • Bamaguje

    Why are these leftist nutjobs called “progressives”, when in fact they cause regression of society?

    • laura r

      jut a way to lead the ignorant mainstream. its all semantic bs.

  • Gee

    Let me see if I understand this “Perhaps yes, as a true Guardian reader, and liberal leftie, I suppose I didn’t want to raise that too hard…

    [I] should have done more to investigate child abuse…”

    That would translate as aiding and abetting – I do believe that those are real crimes even in Londonistan and he should be investigated and charged.

    • Bamaguje

      Indeed those who shirked their responsibility, and turned the other way should be prosecuted.

    • Dan Knight

      Gee: Bingo. They’d be charged here. And if they were Clergy, the Church would be sued as well. The accusations would go front page on the NYT, and if it turned out to be a hoax, or a fraud, the retraction would be buried.

  • ProgNorth

    We are at a crossroads. There are many groups like the EDL springing up, in various western nations, who see the death of western culture looming on the horizon, predominantly from the influx of Muslims from poor and backward countries, spurred on and aided by the ‘progressive’ utopian failed dream of multiculturalism.
    Already Sweden, has seemed to have succumbed, as a new law on the books would prevent any from criticizing immigration or immigrants ( Muslims ) even on the Internet. Norway, Holland, Spain, France and Great Britain seem to be on the cusp of defeat as well. Western women and girls are free game, western traditions are systematically squashed, so as not to offend and woe be to those who enter into ‘no go zones’ as the hordes of the most hateful bigots on the planet will beat, rape and kill while the authorities turn a blind eye, out of fear or outright complicity.
    If you haven’t figured it out yet, we’re at war! Of course your elected leaders won’t tell you that because they are aiding and abetting in the destruction of Judeo-Christianity for their own gain to power, or even worse because they see those very values that built the west, as backward, while using the truly backward and barbaric hammer of Islam to finish the job, either in ignorance or collusion.
    What strange bedfellows the left and Islam. In ideology diametrically opposed to each other in every way save one…that they would see the west and Christianity destroyed. Know your two-pronged enemy. Islam cannot – nor has it ever desired to – coexist. Liberal progressives tear at the very foundations upon which they were allowed to build their lies and contradictions. They both must be defeated if we are to survive.

      Well said.

  • Hank Rearden

    The response is still too moderate. Parliament has wide latitude, really infinite latitude, because Britain doesn’t have a written consitution. So, why not introduce a bill to zero out the Rotherham police department and whatever the name is for the social services organization.

    Just go to zero. Everybody laid off. Immediately. No more pay. Lock the relevant buildings as a prelude to demolishing them – no matter now new or in what good shape they are.

    These services are a disgrace to the commonweal and need to be replaced. They can do something like that in Britain whereas we could not do it here.

    • Dan Knight

      Brilliant suggestion Hank.

  • ping

    plus who are we – with our church paedophilia and Jimmy Savile – to adopt a high moral ground against a victimised minority.

    Jimmy Saville of the Bolshevik Broadcasting Corporation is not completely separate from the Rotherham scandal. Just like the Socialist Workers Party rape scandal, the Occupy Glasgow rapes and subsequent coverups (“don’t tell the bourgeois police!”), and the Labour Party pedophiles. The British left and rape apologia go hand-in-hand.

    Not one muslim should be allowed in America. What is happening there will happen here .

    If we can rake Catholic priests over the coals for the priest sexual scandal – why can’t we deal the same with the Muslims.

    Why are Muslims always so special?

    • UCSPanther

      The answer: They are considered a “protected group” by political correctness. They can do no wrong, even if their acts are downright evil.

  • krinks

    It is no different than here in the states. Whites are preyed upon by black savages and continue to be because black hatred of white people is a forbidden topic. Were it a permitted topic whites would know not to go anywhere blacks congregate in any number.
    Lest you think me some sort of crackpot, can you point me to an all white area here in the states that is anywhere close to as dangerous or violent as the typical black big city? Didn’t think so. Why is this not a valid topic then? There in is why Muslim rapists isn’t a permitted topic in the UK and why they were able to get away with it for so long.

  • gnubi

    Just another front of the left’s war on children.

  • Sheik Yerbouti

    You must be smoking that greenhouse hydro up there, the KKK is nothing. They have zero political pull at all. They have been reduced to a few costumed kooks here and there. They don’t actually DO anything.

    So what the he|| are you talking about here?

    • laura r

      KKK has split off into differnt groups. they dont even get along. no threat to anyone.

      • Sheik Yerbouti

        Anyone who sees these fools in their costumes on TV and thinks “There goes the KKK” is an absolute moron. The “Real” KKK stayed way below the radar. They were called the Invisible Empire for a reason. MOST of the actions of the KKK remain totally unknown. There’s a good chance that most of the recorded cases were staged one way or another. And I’m speaking of the KKK’s most recent incarnation that still had a national charter. All that ended years ago.

        BUT, even when the klan was at their peak, MOST white Americans did NOT support hem in any way. White people generally don’t think much of gangs. Black or white. Why do blacks so often idolize gangs and dope dealers? Pimps seem to be heroes too.

        What strange priorities.

        • laura r

          glenn miller was a grand wizard. thats the most recent incident. dont think they have done a cross burning or murder in 50 years before that. the south did support them long time back when they were college grads & were congressmen. but now see how far david duke has gotton: no where.

  • Boots

    What is interesting is that British media treats Muslim behavior the same as American traditional media treats black on white, black on other monority, or black on black violence while making any incident of white on black violence part of the 24/7 news cycle. British women don’t deserve what British liberals have done to them.

  • Vaud

    My Indian, progressive, neighbor just explained to me, that the rapes in Rotherham were not racist, because Pakistani men also rape their own. That settles it in her liberal mind: they are EQUAL OPPORTUNITY rapists. Everything having the word “equal” in its description is a good thing, as we all know.

    • Dan Knight

      Yes, that’s always an interesting phenomena with Leftists.

      Any crime can be excused or ignored if: Insert non sequitur.

      But eating meat, driving a big truck, too much salt, too little exercise, wearing your flag where hostile, angry leftists might see it, etc., etc., those crimes are inexcusable.

  • LindaRivera

    Every day I am grieved and angry that UK ruling elites for decades ALLOWED dirty, demonic, inhuman, savage, violent gang raping, sex-slaver muslim monsters – the Spawn of Satan to gang rape, torture and force into prostitution and sex-slavery Britain’s white infidel little girls. Desperate child sex-slave victims begged the authorities for help and were ignored.

    Every society, every nation protects their women and children, but not British and European leaders who for many years have allowed muslims – the Sons of the Devil to wage a massive Rape War against Britain and Europe’s females. Mass rape of a nation’s females is perpetrated by vicious enemy invaders who have conquered a country. Nations who have suffered a massive military defeat by deadly enemies are tragically unable to stop this terrible evil against God and defenseless females.

    Although it appears to be the case, Britain and Europe have not been conquered by muslim military armies. EVIL British and European leaders DELIBERATELY colonised each one of our tiny nations enabling muslims to OBEY the quran and physically and sexually attack our females. The quran instructs muslims that raping and mass sex-slave taking of infidel females is what should be done to non-muslim females. Ethical leaders would drive out muslims back to their countries, but not our evil leaders. They continually import massive numbers of muslims so that muslims can rape a lot more of our women and children. Along with the muslim sex-slavers, our leaders are also monsters and barbarians. They are the most evil people who ever walked God’s earth.

    Not ONE feminist has said a word about this. Not a single one.

  • Dan Knight

    “a far-right backlash in the UK” …

    Definition: anti-child rape. Also, anti-murder, anti-violence, anti-rape, anti-racism, anti-bigotry, anti-etc. Synonyms include _______-phobia, extremist, RWNJ, etc.

    In other words: They have no answer for their hatred except smearing the messengers. It’s a good thing none of the EDL are as sin-free as Jewish carpenters – if they were, they’d be nailed to a tree.

    It’s denial. Not just a river in Egypt.

    Those you call “liberal” are not liberal but socialist. See John Stuart Mill, On Liberty, for the liberal view.
