In the UK the Grooming of white English girls (mostly aged between 13-14 years old) by mostly Pakistani Muslim men for sex has been going on for around 70 years. Often these young girls are raped and then tortured and passed around to other Muslim men over-and-over again.
Yet no one has come to their aid, as most of those in the government, or in the police force, or amongst the social workers in their areas simply dismissed their calls for help by hiding behind "Community Cohesion".
It is only now, after a 219-paged report which came out in June of 2026 by Rupert Lowe MP called "Rape Gang Inquiry" that we know that the number of girls who were groomed and then raped could be over 250,000!
A recurring excuse is that this grooming by Pakistani men has nothing to do with religion, that these men are simply perverts which can be found in any society and amongst every religious group. But is this the case?
In this episode the 4 panelists quote Surah after Surah from within the Qur'an which denigrates the equality of women, and suggests pretty clearly that women are seen as the property of men, who can do much as they please with them.
The panel also look at the Islamic traditions, where a similar scenario can be found, and an overriding view that those outside of Islam are considered 2nd class in comparison to Muslims, particularly the women, whom men can take as "slaves of war" (i.e. in the text it says "what they're right hand possesses"), to do with as they please.
Many verses stipulate how a woman should dress in Islam, and that those women who don't dress accordingly can be considered immoral, and thus be treated as such; giving Muslim men the right to sexualize them accordingly.
The panel for this series is led by Tim Dieppe, who works for Christian Concern, one of the only organizations in the UK that has actually worked with and helped these girls, and advocated for them in public.
Also on the panel is Sonja Dahlmans, a theologian of Islam and Christianity who is doing her PhD thesis at the moment on this very issue with women who are being abused by men in Islam, not just in the UK, but all over the Muslim world.
Joining her is Elizabeth Peltola, who has a Master's Degree from the London School of Theology (LST) on the subject of women in Islam, and rounding up the panel is Dr Jay Smith, who has over 45 years of engaging with Muslims publicly on similar issues
