The Home Office’s refusal to release the report commissioned by former Home Secretary Sajid Javid into the subject of the majority Muslim Grooming Gangs has caused a fair amount of anger among ordinary Britons. From reading around, this decision is being seen as arrogant and being taken as evidence that the Home Office has something really bad to hide, maybe something like the amount of Islam-related child grooming being much higher than previously assumed or something that makes Islam look even worse than it does already.

The rising awareness and anger at the problem of what should properly be called Islamic Rape Gangs rather than grooming gangs, has been dealt with in the past by the Left, Islamic grievance mongers and apologists for Islam by smearing those with concerns about Islamic sexual crime as ‘far right’. These groups have used this smear even when those raising the concerns are not at all ‘far right’ but who are just ordinary people wanting to speak out about a grave concern they have about Islamic sex crime. The aforementioned, Leftists, grievance mongers and Islamic apologists have tried to keep this subject from breaking out into the wider public realm and thereby causing justifable anger at the situation, by smearing and in some cases deplatforming those who speak of the issue of Islamic Rape Gangs. This tactic of smearing, deplatforming and then ignoring the voices raised against the problem of Islamic Rape Gangs on the often false grounds that these voices are ‘racist’, has been partially successful when it comes to silencing those who speak up about Islamic Rape Gang problems in their local area or against those who have little support in the wider world.

But things are changing. There are now more voices being raised against both the problem of Islamic Rape Gangs and the Home Office’s decision to withhold a report that was supposed to be public from the public. None of these voices as far as I can see can be easily smeared as ‘far right’ or even ‘racist’ as a means of discrediting them or shutting them up.

Good and thoughtful writers from major publications are starting to speak up about the Home Office’s decision and one really good example is Hardeep Singh, who has written about the subject in the Spectator. Like this blog, Mr Singh is treating the Home Office’s decision as one that could be counterproductive and that it will give cover to the perpetrators of these terrible crimes and also gives oxygen to those who falsely believe that all Muslim men of Pakistani heritage are rapists.

Mr Singh said:

Survivors I’ve spoken to see the government’s hesitation to release the report as an act of betrayal. This includes a Rotherham survivor who goes by the pseudonym Ella Hill. She may have escaped the monsters in Rotherham, but she is now persecuted online for daring to discuss (and write about) the racial and religious dimension to the abuse she suffered. She told me:

“Releasing the report will not cause as much anger as withholding is doing. We already know what it will say. Now we want to know what they [the government] are going to do about it.’

I do share the concern that bringing this information into the light might anger some people, but we must remember that we are not responsible for their actions. It’s the racist rapists who are ultimately responsible for inflaming racial tensions, not those of us who have a duty to pick up the pieces.

Mr Singh and Ms Hill are correct in their assessment of the Home Office’s decision. It is indeed a betrayal of those who have suffered at the hands of Islamic Rape Gangs and is liable to cause more anger over the withholding of the report than may occur from releasing it.

I would strongly advise people to read the entirety of Mr Singh’s Spectator article. It is one prime example of how the Home Office’s decision to treat the British people with derision by withholding publication of the report, is bringing out voices that are much more difficult for the Left, Islamic grievance mongers and Islamic apologists to silence than other voices have been silenced.
