A bombshell investigation has linked the phenomenon of Britain’s grooming gangs to Islamist supremacism, concluding that “religious justification” drawn from the Qur’an “enabled the systematic rape and even slaughter of White British girls.”
The case for recording the religion of both offenders and victims is urgent and important in understanding the ideologies of these gangs.
The Rape Gang Inquiry Report, initiated by Rupert Lowe MP, founder and leader of the political party Restore Britain, confirms previous research establishing a causal relationship between the sexual atrocities committed by Britain’s rape gangs and Islamist religious drivers.
“Our inquiry report proves that without doubt there is an undeniable link between religion and the rape gangs. Islam. As a country, we need to find the courage to finally say so,” Lowe wrote on X, after the report was published on June 16.
The report noted that 87 percent of convicted offenders were Muslim, despite Muslims accounting for only 6 percent of Britain’s population. It cited Taj Hargey, an imam of the Oxford Islamic Congregation, who estimated the “true proportion of gang members who are Muslims to be around 95 percent.”
While noting that smaller groups of Somali, Iranian, Syrian, Turkish, and other Muslim backgrounds were also involved, the report highlighted the increase in Muslim perpetrators, especially since the “start of orchestrated mass immigration” in the late 1990s. More than 250,000 white working-class girls were groomed and sexually abused in at least 50 British towns and cities since 2001.
Focus on Western Islamism (FWI) reached out to the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB), which, in 2018, condemned the BBC for referring to a “Muslim gang-rape trial.” The MCB has not responded to the inquiry.
Report Ignored By Parliament, BBC
“I intend to use my parliamentary privilege to name perpetrators and their enablers in the chamber,” Lowe stated, describing “the mass rape of vulnerable working-class white girls by gangs of primarily Pakistani Muslim men” as “pure, unfettered evil.”
Lowe has tabled the report in the House of Commons, asking the government “to formally engage with the inquiry’s findings and recommendations, to provide a full written response to Parliament, [and] to publish a timetable for action,” while warning that no “fear of causing offense” should “ever again take precedence over the protection of children.”
As of this writing, only two parliamentarians, Sir Gavin Williamson and Alex Easton, had signed to sponsor the motion for parliamentary discussion. The BBC, Britain’s publicly funded broadcaster, “continues to ignore our rape gang inquiry when it’s convenient,” Lowe lamented.
Demanding capital punishment for the rapists, Lowe tweeted: “Reform has today said they want the worst rape gang offenders to ‘face whole-life sentences.’ Weak. They must be put to death.”
Robert Jenrick MP, Reform UK’s Shadow Chancellor, replied: Men who gang raped children are only spending a few years in jail. It’s abhorrent. I’d gladly see them get the death penalty.”
Harrowing Testimonies Cite Islamist Abuse
The report quoted Ella Hill, a victim of the Rotherham grooming gangs who now works as a doctor, who consistently described the abuse as racially and religiously aggravated. During the rapes, the perpetrators explicitly told her that she was being abused because she was white and Christian.
“I was told that Muslim girls are good and pure, and stay virgins until marriage, but all white girls are slags, and they all sleep with hundreds of people,” Hill testified. “They are lower than shit under your shoe. They don’t obey Allah, so they deserve to be punished.”
Hill’s abusers told her that “Muslim women are pure because they cover down to their ankles, and down to their wrists, and the hem of their top comes down below their knees. White girls show the curves of their body, so they are asking for it. They should be raped as punishment for not obeying Allah.”
“Many times I was told that the Quran says, ‘If one of your wives disobeys you, beat her.’ This was often quoted to me before they beat me with their hands. They believed they had a position of religious moral superiority over ‘nonbelievers.’ They believed it was their duty to punish us, as they believed that doing so made them good Muslims,” Hill narrated.
Evidence in grooming gang trials has repeatedly shown that perpetrators described victims as “white slags,” “white trash,” “kuffar bitches,” or told them they were “only good for men like me to fuck and use like trash.” Perpetrators shouted “Allahu Akbar” and boasted of racial supremacy, the report stated.
Report Vindicates Research on Islamist-Driven Sexual Crimes
In November 2025, Mark Durie, a senior research fellow at the Melbourne School of Theology’s Arthur Jeffery Centre for the Study of Islam and a Middle East Forum Writing Fellow, concluded that Islamic supremacism was a key driver behind the rape gangs.
Durie’s 34-page study titled U.K. Grooming Gangs and Islam identified eight theological and legal aspects of Islam that influenced and enabled the rape gangs. It warned that “there has been a systemic avoidance of collecting data on the religious identities of grooming gang members and their victims,” FWI reported.

Islam.
As a country, we need to find the courage to finally say so.
The report cited Durie’s findings extensively, noting that the abuse was reinforced by eight theological and legal aspects of Islam, including the doctrine of Muslim superiority drawn from Quranic verses that position Muslims at the top with a duty to correct non-believers.
The gangs’ justification for their crimes can be found in the Islamic principles of loyalty and disavowal known as al-walā’ wa-l-barā’, which demands enmity towards non-Muslims, male superiority over women, forced marriage, perceiving female sexuality as inherently dangerous, sex slavery that authorises sexual relations with non-Muslim captives, and a religiously sanctioned social hierarchy that subjugates conquered non-Muslims, the report explained.
“Lowe’s inquiry into UK grooming gangs makes for harrowing reading. Yet it has only begun the task of exposing the rape gang atrocities to the full light of day,” Durie told FWI. “It is beyond shocking that the industrial-scale rape and trafficking of hundreds of thousands of girls across the UK could only have happened with the connivance of complicit responsible authorities.”
“The Lowe report has ripped the covers off a horrific, suppurating wound in the nation’s psyche. This is a wound that the governing authorities have no idea how to heal. Meanwhile, storm clouds of hurt and rage are gathering,” Durie added.
FWI reported in June 2025 that a landmark report into grooming gangs had omitted any reference to the Islamist links or motivations of the overwhelmingly Muslim perpetrators. It also ignored copious evidence from victims’ courtroom testimonies about how attitudes of Islamist supremacism and Islamist prejudices against non-Muslims played a key role in the sexual crimes.
Despite the evidence, nobody in a June 1 debate at Westminster Hall on the official grooming gangs data “took steps to argue that the gangs are Islamic by nature,” Carys Moseley, public policy researcher at Christian Concern, wrote in an article on “Why religion data matters in the grooming gangs debate.”
“The Islamic and jihadist nature of the grooming gangs was not acknowledged in the debate,” Moseley concluded. “The case for recording the religion of both offenders and victims is urgent and important in understanding the ideologies of these gangs.”
