Inquiry dodges Islam’s crucial role in grooming gangs scandal

Inquiry dodges Islam’s crucial role in grooming gangs scandal

By T Dieppe

 LAST month, details of the Independent Inquiry into Grooming Gangs were finally published by the government. This included draft terms of reference which determine what it can and cannot consider. They are very carefully worded and agreed.

There has been a lot of discussion about the role of religion in grooming gang abuse. Late last year, Christian Concern published a report by internationally respected academic Dr Mark Durie, an Australian Anglican priest and a scholar in linguistics and theology, into UK grooming gangs and Islam. He outlines eight aspects of Islamic law and theology that influence and enable grooming gang criminality. These are:

1.    The doctrine of the superiority of Muslims over non-Muslims.

2.    The doctrine of loyalty and disavowal, also known as ‘love and hate for the sake of God’.

3.    The superiority and dominance of men over women.

4.    The mandated seclusion of women by men.

5.    The religious practice of forced marriage, and the lack of a concept of an age of consent.

6.    The perceived threat of dangerous female sexuality.

7.    The practice of sex slavery as an aspect of the laws of jihad.

8.    Dhimmitude and the treatment of conquered non-Muslim peoples in Islamic law.

The report concludes with 11 policy recommendations to tackle the Islamic nature of these grooming gangs.

Although the Prime Minister has said that the inquiry will ‘leave no stone unturned’ in its investigations, the draft terms of reference exclude looking at the role of religion in the abuse. This despite the many expert witnesses who have insisted that the role of religion and culture should be part of its remit.

The draft terms of reference make no reference to Islam or to Muslims at all. There are just three references to ‘religion’. It is very telling what they say.

Paragraph 4.3 is the key paragraph containing two of the references to ‘religion’. Here is what it says:

‘The inquiry should examine how ethnicity, religion or culture played a role in responses at a local and national level, as well as other issues of denial, as discussed in the National Audit. It will also consider the background (including ethnicity, religion and culture) of perpetrators and victims.’

Notice that it says the inquiry should consider how ‘ethnicity role of culture played a role in responses’ [emphasis added]. The inquiry is only to consider the role of religion in responses to the abuse, not the role of religion in facilitating or enabling the abuse itself! It goes on to say that it will consider the background ‘including ethnicity, religion and culture’ of the perpetrators and victims. Again this does not consider the role of religion in the abuse itself.

The other mention of ‘religion’ occurs in paragraph 4.5.2 which lists various things ‘the inquiry may consider’. These include ‘whether ethnicity, religion or culture played a role in the response’.

Note again that there is no consideration of the role of religion in the actual abuse itself. If the role of religion in the abuse is not mentioned in the terms of reference, then the inquiry will certainly not consider it. The draft terms of reference have been worded so that the government can say that ‘the inquiry will consider the role of religion’, but nevertheless the inquiry will not look at the role of religion in the abuse itself. 

Lord Pearson asked a written parliamentary question about this. It reads:

‘To ask His Majesty’s Government whether the Independent Inquiry into Grooming Gangs will consider the role that religion or culture played in enabling or facilitating abuse by grooming gangs, and not only the role that those factors played in responses to the abuse, as outlined in paragraph 4.3 of the draft terms of reference.’

Lord Hanson of Flint responded for the government as follows:

‘On 9 December 2025, the Home Secretary published the draft Terms of Reference for the Independent Inquiry into Grooming Gangs and asked the Chair to consult on them.

‘Following the consultation, the Chair will make recommendations to the Home Secretary. Final Terms of Reference will be agreed and published by 31 March 2026. The Home Secretary has been clear (in her Oral Statement of 9 December) that the inquiry will consider, explicitly, the background of offenders – including their ethnicity, religion and culture – and whether the authorities failed to properly investigate what happened out of a misplaced desire to protect community cohesion. The inquiry will act without fear or favour, identifying individual, institutional and systemic failure, inadequate organisational responses, and failures of leadership.

‘The Home Secretary has also commissioned new research from UK Research and Innovation to address longstanding gaps in our understanding of perpetrators’ backgrounds and motivations, including factors such as ethnicity and religion.’

This response is a tacit admission that the draft terms of reference do not include considering the role of religion in the abuse. Notice the emphasis on:’whether the authorities failed to properly investigate what happened out of a misplaced desire to protect community cohesion’.This is an important aspect, and I am pleased that it will be considered, but it does not include the role of religion in the abuse itself.

Lord Hanson, as if to excuse this omission from the draft terms of reference, goes on to say that the government has commissioned research into ’our understanding of the perpetrator’s backgrounds and motivations, including factor such as ethnicity and religion’. Now that is precisely what we want to see in the inquiry. But it is not there. Instead, research has been commissioned separately on this point. This research was originally mentioned within the government’s announcement of Baroness Longfield as chair of the Independent Inquiry last year. 

It seems then that the government deliberately wants to keep the role of religion in motivating grooming gang abuse out of the scope of the inquiry. To stave off criticism on this point, it has commissioned separate research into this question. But research is not the same as an inquiry. It will not have the powers of an inquiry. We have no details about who is carrying out this research or what resources they have or when the research is expected to be published. Indeed, the government has not promised that this research will ever be published. It may well not be published at all.

When the government announced the details of the inquiry in December, it promised to consult on the draft terms of reference. It said: 

‘As the inquiry is required to finalise the terms of reference by 31 March 2026, the consultation period will be focused and time limited. Further details on how to take part will be shared by the inquiry in early February 2026.’

It is now early February. We will watch with interest for details of the promised consultation. When we have them, we will encourage supporters to respond to the consultation and to insist that the role of religion in motivating and encouraging the criminal abuse of grooming gangs is included in the final terms of reference of the inquiry.

The victims deserve a proper inquiry which will consider all aspects of the horrific grooming gang abuse that has been going on for decades. The role of religion cannot be sidelined. I hope that the final terms of reference make this clear.

In 1994, He Exposed Their Entire System… and Predicted 2026 Perfectly.

In 1994, researcher and author John Coleman made a serious claim about how power works behind the scenes. After decades of research, he argued that major decisions don’t come only from politicians or public institutions, but from a network of influence that operates above national borders. In his book “The Committee of 300”, Coleman says he’s not speaking in vague theories. He insists he can provide specifics — names, structure, and a clear chain of control that most people never notice. This video breaks down Coleman’s core ideas, what he believed was happening at the highest level of power, and why parts of his framework still connect with the way people interpret the modern world today. Excerpts used in this video come from publicly available interviews/recordings and are used for commentary and analysis.

Helen Andrews drops two bold, provocative claims on feminisation's impact on civilisation:

By Camus

Helen Andrews drops two bold, provocative claims on feminisation's impact on civilization: 1. Feminisation isn't neutral—in key institutions, it's actively harmful. - Rule of law crumbles when judges prioritise "context & relationships" over strict, objective rules (even if outcomes feel harsh). - Academia loses its purpose when it censors "dangerous" ideas instead of pursuing truth relentlessly. - Business innovation stalls when HR-compliant niceness trumps bold, disruptive leadership. - Immigration policy becomes paralysed: laws exist on paper, but enforcement is blocked if it might "make someone sad." Without rule of law, truth-seeking, secure borders, and innovation, a fully feminised society risks collapse. 2. Demographic feminisation → substantive feminisation Can we have majority-female professions (lawyers, judges, professors) while keeping the old uncompromising standards? Andrews says no—not enough women consistently embody the hard-edged, truth-first, outcome-over-feelings ethos that historically defined those fields. Some women absolutely do, but scaling to majority-female shifts the institutional culture inevitably. She calls it difficult but true: "A thoroughly feminised civilisation will set itself on the road to collapse." Uncomfortable, politically incorrect, and worth debating. What do you think—does she overstate the case, or is there truth here?

Completely Pissed Off

Completely Pissed Off 

By James Melville 

Almost everyone I speak to feels completely pissed off with what is happening to Britain. The extortionate costs, high taxes, petty authority rules and the fact that nothing works properly. A country in serious decline. A decline facilitated by governments for corporate greed.

Britain faces huge difficulties and we don’t have the calibre of politicians to deal with the issues being faced. We have the most useless, insincere and out of touch politicians ever seen in British history. It’s a dreadful situation. We are being led by a bunch of shysters with their nests being feathered by their corporate cronies. Britain is broken. You can feel the decline everywhere, except in the deep pockets of the greedy corporations who have been allowed to plunder the assets of Britain. We are an island full of natural resources & with a temperate climate. We should have energy security, vibrant agriculture and fishing industries, blue collar industries to be proud of, manufacturing centres of excellence, but instead, it's all being destroyed, sold off or closed down. The industrial and community fabric of so many communities has been wilfully destroyed or neglected for decades. We have infrastructures and public services that are rotting despite having the highest tax burden in history. We have an ongoing cost of living crisis where supermarkets & utility & energy companies fleece consumers on a daily basis while showing record profits. And for all of this, I blame governments for being more concerned in political game playing, consolidation of power, suppressing freedom of speech, indulging in petty punishment rules and surveillance culture, facilitating corporate greed rather than addressing the many concerns and challenges faced by individuals and communities right across the country. The first job of any government should be to wholeheartedly serve and protect the citizens that they are supposed to represent. Instead, we have successive governments who are punishing the public and are in thrall to billionaires, global technocrats and asset stripping corporations like BlackRock. Britain has turned into a total mess. Nothing works. Everything is bogged down in governmental petty bureaucracy or punishment politics. Pensioners, small businesses, students, farmers, fishing communities and the disabled are wilfully hammered by the Labour government. Over £100bn of taxpayers’ money is now spent per year on interest payments for the national debt, £30bn is being spaffed away on carbon capture machines, The cost of living for basic essentials like water, energy and food is through the roof. We are taxed to the hilt and yet public services and core infrastructures are rotting. We have water, energy and food security concerns despite having the national resources to be secure in all of these. We have a warmongering Prime Minister who is the most pompous and conceited individual ever to walk through the doors of 10 Downing Street. We have successive governments literally asset stripping the country to give everything away to multinational corporations. We have massive amounts of poverty and homelessness. We have thousands of migrants arriving across the channel while £millions are spent every day on housing them in 5 star hotels. We have an NHS that is in a total mess with millions of people living in excruciating pain because they can’t get treated for months on end. We have governments who are more concerned with sucking up to the likes of BlackRock rather than fixing the mess that they created. And we even have a government who ram through plastering solar panels on thousands of acres of prime farmland while spending £50bn on sun dimming experiments. It’s an utter disgrace what has happened to Britain and for all of this, I blame successive governments. Britain is broken. A gigantic asset stripping and plundering Britain - facilitated by successive governments - at our own expense. Absolutely shameful.
