A serious debate has erupted on social media platforms, concerning the UK polity, regarding radical Islam after a number of terrorist incidents in Europe and the resurgence of the infamous grooming jihad cases. Notable faces and social media influencers have lashed out at Islamists for their abject contempt for non-Muslims and their shameless defence of Islamic crimes in the facade coined as Islamophobia.
Recently, alleged kickboxer, Andrew Tate stirred a hornet’s nest advocating that the Muslim community in Europe should come out to condemn ‘Islamic crimes’. Tate, a Christian by birth had converted to Islam and had been in the news for all the negative reasons.
Displaying monkey balancing, he then argued that by defending such heinous crimes Muslims were besmirching the image of Islam. For those unversed, Tate has been a notorious figure in the UK and Europe, furthering hooliganism in the name of advocacy for ‘Alpha Males’. He also launched his own party, BRUV, in order to contest the PM election in the UK. His latest assertion concerning Grooming Jihad cases is also being seen in that context.
Taking to X, Andrew Tate said, “Muslims in Europe are defending heinous crimes and then act confused when there is obvious bigotry against Islam in the future.”
The tweet further added, “The grooming gangs were disgusting. Every sane human is against them. The Muslims defending those actions purely because they were committed by other Muslims are destroying the imagine (sic) of Islam in the West.”

His posts has garnered contrasting reactions with Islamist vehemently disagreeing with him for conceding over the fact that Islamic Crimes is indeed a major cause of concern, while several Christian users have flagged ‘Islamic crimes’ against non-believers (Kafir, a derogatory slur used for them), be it in European member nations, India, or elsewhere, even mentioning religious citations advocating for such a deranged and animalistic behaviour.
You have ambitions now and demonizing Muslims is what sells, so you opted for what sells. One thing you should keep in mind is that this tactics have been tried for the past 1400 years+ and failed. You will surely will not succeed. A Muslim does not condone rape, but you already…

I don’t recall a single Muslim defending any of these crimes
We all know how disgusting and heinous it is
It’s completely against Islam.
However what we did do is defend our religion from the slander of those that started spreading the rhetoric that Islam teach this.

For Islamists, Tate was wrong in admitting Islamic crimes and thinking that they should condemn grooming Jihad (sugar-coated term for systemic gang rape Jihad) as for them, child rape through coercion (grooming) or even paedophilia is not a crime, as per Sharia followers. For them, girl child, duty bound solely for the continuation of the human race, crossing puberty is fit for taking mature decisions, eg, developing adulterous relationships.

Racist, Islamaphobic, Anti Semetic, Misogynistic, Homophobic, Transphobic etc
These are the words they use to make you IGNORE THE TRUTH.

The endless self victimisation of crying “Islamaphobia” everytime valid concerns are made is ridiculous.
You would struggle to find a more accommodating nation than the UK.
Its disingenious.
It is self destructive and garners resentment.

In a series of tweets, Andrew Tate also questioned the facade of Islamophobia, a trope which the Islamists often resort to, to shield, white wash Islamist crimes and play victim card.
Contrarily, a section of netizens slammed Islamists and ilk, as well as Tate for falsely claiming moral supremacy when there is none, pointing out the worst of sexual crimes meted against non-Muslims, particularly women, be it Yazidi slaves, Hindu girls under the regime of Islamic tyrants, in Middle East and North African nations among others. Some disgruntled seemingly Christian users even launched a tirade against sermons and preachings of Islamic clergy, who claim to have backing from Islamic scriptures, to advocate for such acts against non-believers.
Meanwhile, several X users also highlighted several heinous crimes, stating data and quotations from different leaders from different times. A user named Harris Sultan, asked some serious questions stating, “Is gang rape an Islamic problem, a Pakistani problem, or a far-right conspiracy? For it to be an Islamic problem, we’d need to see other Muslims committing gang rapes of non-Muslim women in other parts of the world as well. So, what do the numbers say?”
The user also answered the query by citing data from the UK, Germany, Sweden, and Norway.
In a long twitter thread, Sultan highlighted the offenders of the heinous crime noting that the maximum incidences of rape in the UK society have been committed, based on conviction, as well, predominantly by Pakistanis.
A 2017 report by an anti-extremism Think Tank Quilliam Foundation found that 84% of grooming gang offenders convicted since 2005 were of South Asian heritage, especially Pakistani. Additionally, a 2013 report by the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP) indicated that among those offenders whose ethnicity was recorded, 75% were Asian, 17% were white, and 5% Black.
The fact that in Britain, most gang rapes are committed by a specific community—Pakistanis. Maybe it’s just a Pakistani problem, as other Muslims don’t seem to engage in this behaviour—or do they?
The case is very similar to the Swedish society, where court cases from 2012 to 2017 found that 58% of those convicted of rape or attempted rape were born outside of Europe. Specifically, in cases of gang rape, the proportion was higher, with 76% of the convicted individuals being foreign-born, primarily from countries in the West Asia and North Africa.
Sweden, once one of the most liveable countries in the world 15 years ago, has now become the rape capital of the world. Why? Because they believed all cultures were the same.
In Germany, Syrians and Afghans make up less than 2% of the population yet account for 34% of gang rapes, the user further added.

Lastly, the user asserted that it’s the same thing in Norway. Now, you tell me, followers of which religion predominantly live in North Africa and the Middle East? He concluded that it is a Muslim problem because they are taught from a very young age that Kafirs (infidels) are filthy creatures.
In a second interesting conversation on X, one can find a debate between Piers Morgan and an X user, Gad Saad, where the user asked some serious and crucial questions after Piers Morgan tweeted, “No, I said he was Islamophobic, which he is.”
Dear @piersmorgan, please forgive me for questioning you publicly but what do you mean by “Islamophobic” specifically? Could you provide a framework under which the scrutiny of Islam (and its values) would constitute fair criticism versus when it falls under the rubric of… https://t.co/WpMMmFVxsp

Could you provide a framework under which the scrutiny of Islam (and its values) would constitute fair criticism versus when it falls under the rubric of Islamophobia? Perhaps I could ask you the following question: Do you think that the incursion of Islam in Britain has been a net benefit to your country? If so, how? If not, would this be Islamophobic? Cheers.”
Even Musk replied, “Piers’s brain hasn’t received its software update yet.”

After intensified debate and discussion on the migrated Muslim community in Western countries, a general study and observation have emerged. Experts have mentioned several times that the values of the migrated Muslim community are not in parallel with the Western society.
Western society is based on freedom of expression, liberty and democracy, but most Muslim people do not believe in these values. Rather, they have seen authoritarian regimes and have followed strict religious texts which do not give them permission to mingle with Western Society. They are very adamant when it comes to following religious law and tradition of the land. Previously, the community has spread its religious ideologies and converted people all around the world by using swords.
During the infamous era of Caliph, the Islamic tyrants converted Zoroastrians into Muslims; during the Mughal era, they forcefully converted a significant number of Hindus in the Indian Subcontinent and rape of non-believers’ women was used as a tool to humiliate them and incentivise animal instinct of their followers in the furtherance of Islam. That was the time when they were a powerful force, and with the help of their force, the community forcefully changed societal norms and religion. Today, they are not in a position to exert these radical ideas or convert people forcefully, and that’s why they are adopting coercive, or fatal flaws of the liberal nations to destabilise Western society from within.
Christopher Eric Hitchens, a British and American author and journalist and author of 18 books on faith, culture, politics, and literature, said in 2009, “This is very urgent business, ladies and gentlemen, I beseech you. Resist it while you still can and before the right to complain about it is taken away, which will be the next thing. You will be told that you can’t complain because you’re Islamophobic. The term is already being introduced into the culture as if it was an accusation of race hatred, for example, or bigotry, whereas it’s only an objection to the preachings of a very extreme and absolutist religion. Watch out for these symptoms. They are just symptoms of surrender, very often offered to you ecumenically by men of God or in other robes, Christian and Jewish, and smarmy ecumenical. These are the ones who hold open the gates for the Barbarians. The Barbarians never take a city until someone holds the gates open for them. And it’s your own preachers who will do it to you and your own multicultural authorities who will do it for you. Resist it while you can.”
