Islam in the UK > After 11 years, Home Office finally comes out with guidance for asylum seekers

It only took 11 years for Home Office to come up with this guidance. It should have taken 11 weeks in 2015. Does the booklet mention that British law trumps Sharia? 

Asylum seekers told rape and harassment illegal in UK in new Home Office booklet

Asylum seekers have been told that rape, sexual harassment and domestic abuse are illegal in the UK, in guidance for new arrivals published by the Home Office.

A nine-page online booklet covers respect in public, sex and consent, and gender equality, with guidance on how UK laws and customs may be different from their home countries.

The Conservatives said any asylum seekers breaking UK law should be deported and Reform said the publication showed the government "knows that they are a menace".

Prime Minister Andy Burnham said the government had "a very clear principle that if you break UK law, you will be removed from the country".

He said the number of removals of illegal immigrants from the UK "are significantly up" and that he was working to ensure that foreign national offenders are removed from the prison system.

He added: "It follows that if we're taking this approach, it's made explicitly clear what the UK law is and what the societal norms of the UK are and that's why this approach is being taken."

According to the latest Home Office figures, a total of 93,525 people applied for asylum in the UK from April 2025 to March 2026, which was down by 12% on the same period in the previous year.

The booklet sets out how asylum seekers must understand UK law, because the consequences of breaking the law mean "you could get in trouble with the police, lose your asylum support, or it could affect your asylum claim."

A section on gender explains that women in the UK have equal rights to men, and do not need the permission from a husband, father, brother or any other man to do things like work, study, travel, or make decisions.

Another section on sex and consent sets out how both people must agree to sex or sexual contact of any kind, and consent cannot be given if someone is asleep, drunk, or unable to respond.

"If you have sex with someone who does not want to, this is called rape. Rape is a serious crime," the document says.

"It is still rape if: You are married to the person or in a relationship. They agreed once, but changed their mind."

And a section headed Respect in Public outlines how it is not acceptable to whistle or make kissing noises at people on the street, nor "make sexual comments to someone, even if you think it is a compliment".

The guidance also contains contact details for organisations for victims and those seeking help with the issues raised.

The Home Office spokesman added: "Returns of failed asylum seekers have reached their highest level since 2010 under this government."

The latest government figures show nearly 70,000 illegal migrants and foreign criminals have been returned or deported from the UK since Labour came to power in July 2024.

The BBC understands nearly 10,000 foreign criminals, including murderers and rapists, have been removed since the last election – a 36% increase on the previous 21 months.

Iran: Uncle murders niece with hunting rifle because she wanted to marry for love over family’s opposition

Aug 18, 2026 9:00 am By Robert Spencer5 Comments

In the Qur’an, a mysterious figure, known as Khidr in Islamic tradition, kills a boy in an apparently random and gratuitous attack. He then explains: “And as for the boy, his parents were believers, and we feared that he would overburden them by transgression and disbelief. So we intended that their Lord should substitute for them one better than him in purity and nearer to mercy.” (18:80-81)

And according to Islamic law, “retaliation is obligatory against anyone who kills a human being purely intentionally and without right.” However, “not subject to retaliation” is “a father or mother (or their fathers or mothers) for killing their offspring, or offspring’s offspring.” (Reliance of the Traveller o1.1-2).

Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. The Palestinian Authority gives pardons or suspended sentences for honor murders. Iraqi women have asked for tougher sentences for Islamic honor murderers, who get off lightly now. Syria in 2009 scrapped a law limiting the length of sentences for honor killings, but “the new law says a man can still benefit from extenuating circumstances in crimes of passion or honour ‘provided he serves a prison term of no less than two years in the case of killing.’” And in 2003 the Jordanian Parliament voted down on Islamic grounds a provision designed to stiffen penalties for honor killings. Al-Jazeera reported that “Islamists and conservatives said the laws violated religious traditions and would destroy families and values.”

15-year-old Sanaz Mehrabi shot dead by her uncle in ‘honor’ killing case

Hengaw, August 11, 2026 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Sanaz Mehrabi Dashtaki, a 15-year-old girl from Marvdasht County, Fars province, was murdered by her uncle in an “honor”-motivated crime after her family opposed her decision to marry the person she loved.

According to information received by the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, Mehrabi was shot by her uncle in Dashtak village, Marvdasht County, on Thursday, July 30, 2026.

Informed sources said her uncle targeted her with a hunting rifle because she wanted to marry the person she loved despite her family’s opposition. She died from her injuries….

Somehow, murdering your daughter or niece for falling in love brings honor to Muslim families. That tells you just how screwed up and utterly mad some of these people are.

MN man gets 21 years in federal prison for grooming dozens of kids online

• Mike Bunge

ST. PAUL, Minn. — A Minnesota man got 260 months in prison for using social media to groom and sexually abuse children across multiple states.

Trent Fair, 31, was sentenced before U.S. District Judge Donovan W. Frank. He pleaded guilty in April.

The U.S. Attorney's Office for Minnesota says from August 2024 through February 2025, Fair used social media apps and the internet to communicate with and groom a 15-year-old girl to obtain sexually explicit material, according to court documents. The girl sent Fair several sexually explicit videos, and Fair admitted he knew she was 15 years old at the time.

Investigators say in January 2025, Fair traveled from Minnesota to Virginia to engage in sexual activity with the girl. While in Virginia, law enforcement was contacted to investigate a fight involving Fair, and he was caught after investigators confirmed his sexual abuse of the girl.

As the investigation unfolded, law enforcement became aware that Fair had used social media to solicit and obtain child sexual abuse material from several other children, some as young as 10 years old. Confronted with his social media history, Fair admitted to producing child pornography with at least a "few dozen" children for several years. Investigators also located an additional child Fair traveled to and sexually abused.

"The defendant is a serial child sexual predator," said United States Attorney Daniel N. Rosen. "This sentence ensures that he is taken off the streets and it is a sign to offenders that my office will find and prosecute those who prey on vulnerable children."

"This arrest sends a clear message to anyone who uses social media to prey on children: we will find you, arrest you, and hold you accountable," said Fairfax County Chief of Police Kevin Davis. "This individual targeted a 15-year-old online and traveled hundreds of miles to exploit that child."

"Trent Fair self-identified as a pedophile and admitted to victimizing dozens of children," said FBI Minneapolis Field Office Special Agent in Charge Christopher D. Dotson. "His conduct is the embodiment of every parent's worst fears when their children go online."

Fair will also serve 20 years of supervised release after his prison sentence. The case was investigated by the Fairfax County Police Department in Virginia, FBI, with assistance from the Minneapolis Police Department and other law enforcement partners.

Monterey Co.: 64-Year-Old Man Sentenced To 225 Years To Life In Prison For Child Molestation

A 64-year-old Monterey County man was sentenced to 225 years to life in state prison after a jury convicted him of sexually assaulting five children over a period of 16 years, Monterey County District Attorney Jeannine M. Pacioni announced Friday.

Jose Guadalupe Reyes was sentenced by Judge Carrie Panetta after a jury on July 21 found him guilty of 14 counts of forcible lewd or lascivious acts on a child under 14 and two counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child under 14, according to the Monterey County District Attorney's Office.

Prosecutors said Reyes assaulted the five victims, identified in court documents as Jane Does 1 through 5, between 1996 and 2012 in the City of Marina.

The victims did not report the assaults until they were adults, with the DA's office noting research that said victims are more likely to delay report for sexual abuse when the victim is a minor and has a close relationship with the perpetrator.

Three victims were his nieces, one was his girlfriend's daughter, and one was his granddaughter, the DA's office noted.

Reyes was arrested in Texas in 2025 and extradited to Monterey County to face charges. Reyes was also ordered to register as a sex offender.

‘Like a bad dream’: Mother quickly cleared of child sex abuse charges. She’s now speaking

Prosecutors say ‘no evidence of sexual intent’

MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — Released and reunited with family, Maylin Viana wants to tell her story.

She spoke with Local 10 News a day after the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office dropped all charges against her.

The 29-year-old mom was accused of molestation and posting lewd videos of her 4-year-old son online.

She says: Not true.

“I feel like I’m dreaming,” Viana said. “Like a bad dream. In my mind, I never (did) anything wrong.”

Police records show it was social media giant TikTok that flagged one video from her account as “child sexual abuse material,” allegedly showing the boy only with a shirt on, naked otherwise, and Viana touching him.

On Aug. 5, the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office would arrive at her house in southwest Miami-Dade.

“I was like, that has to be a joke,” her cousin, Raúl Salazar said. “We’re like, That’s not the kind of person she is. That’s not something that she would do.”

Deputies said Viana consented to having her phone searched.

That’s when they found another video of her kissing her son. Viana maintains they were normal, innocent pecks between mom and child.

In a closeout memo, prosecutors say the state “is unable to proceed with criminal charges” and that “there is no evidence of sexual intent” in either video.

Viana says all she wants now is to be with family.

“They’ve got to be really mindful of the accusations they make before ruining a reputation,” Salazar said.
