To Be a Girl in Islam > Islamic child brides blamed on the USA and Israel by far-left news media

 

The Big Lie of Blaming the U.S. and Israel for Islamic Child Rape in Gaza and Afghanistan

Jun 6, 2026 5:00 pm By Daniel Greenfield25 Comments

Muslim men selling their daughters into sex slavery isn’t our fault, it’s Islam’s fault.

Last month, the BBC ran a story about Afghan men selling daughters as young as five years old into the sex slavery known as Islamic marriage. Rather than blaming the Koran and the example set by Islam’s pedophile founder Mohammed who married his most prominent ‘wife’ Aisha at the tender age of seven, the radical state media outlet instead blamed the Trump administration.

The BBC complained that “the US – once the top donor to Afghanistan – cut nearly all aid to the country last year” without explaining that the aid was cut because the money was going through the UN to the Taliban which is once again hosting Al Qaeda and aiding Islamic terrorists.

Selling girls into sex slavery was a common practice in Afghanistan specifically and Islam in general not only before the U.S. invasion after 9/11, but before the existence of the U.S. These are cultural behaviors in Islamic and Afghan culture that the media is too terrified to criticize.

The media knows better because it’s been covering stories about Afghans selling little girls into sex slavery going back decades. There were stories about the sale of three-olds into sex slavery in 2021, before the end of U.S. aid, the sale of 8-year-olds back in 2007, and 10-year-olds in 2003.

An NBC News story from 2007 headlined “Afghan girls traded like currency to settle debts”, described how a man sold his daughter in exchange for 9 sheep, another in which a taxi driver who hit and killed a boy bought an 11-year-old girl and gave her in exchange to the dead boy’s relatives, and the girl was then killed, none of which had to do with U.S. foreign aid.

The NBC story quoted the Afghan government stating that “roughly two out of five Afghan marriages are forced” and an NGO that “investigated about 500 cases of girls given in marriage to settle blood feuds.” That’s not about Afghanistan’s regular fake ‘famines’ or about foreign aid.

Girls are being sold and traded because they’re considered property in Islam. It’s why the UN estimates that 90% of Afghan women and girls have experienced domestic violence.

More recently in Israel, the Associated Press, ran a story about Muslims in Gaza selling their daughters into the Islamic institution of sex slavery that they call marriage, describing the sale and rape of a 14-year-old girl with the assistance of her new husband’s family.

“Eventually, his mother ‘tied up my hands above my head,’ the daughter said. The husband then raped her. After that, he repeatedly threatened to bring his mother to tie her up if she screamed, she said. She recounted repeated instances of rape and said on one occasion, she had to be taken to the hospital with bleeding.”

The AP, which had known ties to Hamas, in a new low, illustrated this story with imaginary drawings of the supposed suffering in Gaza and blamed the situation on Israel, but child marriage increased early on after the Hamas takeover because it was considered more Islamic.

The AP blames Israel for the traditional Islamic sale of daughters in Gaza, featuring a quote claiming that “at times of widespread displacement in conflicts with Israel, some Palestinians have seen marriage as a way to bring stability for their daughters.” The AP queried the Supreme Sharia Court in Gaza which stated that “20.6% of the 35,474 marriages recorded in 2024 and 2025 involved a girl under 18, including 627 marriages of girls under 15.” That number was at 21% in 2017 when there was no significant conflict. And it’s always been higher in Gaza in part because there hasn’t been much in the way of a Christian population to balance out Islam.

The official statistics coming out of Hamas are likely fictional anyway. In the previous decade, nearly a quarter of girls in Gaza had a live birth before they had turned 18 years old. Since out-of-wedlock births result in honor killings, these would be births within marriages.

Much as Islamic child rape in Afghanistan was blamed on the U.S., the UN and the AP blame the sale of girls into sex slavery in Gaza on Israel. But, as in Afghanistan, if the sale of girls is supposedly happening due to the Oct 7 war, why did it also predate the war?

And, if as the AP claims, this is the work of loving parents who just can’t provide for their families, why did the UN report in 2019 that 38% of women in Gaza surveyed described domestic abuse by their husbands? And why did it report that under Hamas, “the prevalence of violence against women by their husbands is significantly higher in the Gaza Strip than in the West Bank?” Is Israel making Muslim men in Gaza beat their wives at higher rates?

Domestic abuse, like child sex slavery, is sanctioned by Islam. And Hamas, apart from promising to destroy Israel and kill all the Jews, is a Muslim Brotherhood organization whose mission is imposing Islamic Sharia law.

In Egypt, which ruled Gaza until 1967, and where much of Gaza’s Arab Muslim colonist population came from as shown by the prevalence of last names like ‘Al-Masri’ or ‘Egyptian’ in Gaza, the underage marriage rate is 17%. But, much more relevantly, in the parts of Egypt in the Sinai that are closest to Gaza, the numbers are far higher.

In Egypt’s Rafah, the main crossing between Egypt and Gaza, 7 out of 10 marriages involved a minor, while in North Sinai, it’s 1 out of 3 marriages.

None of this has anything to do with Israel or the Oct 7 war.

The numbers are likely similar in Gaza when accounting for the large number of unregistered marriages. The media is once again playing statistical bait and switch in Gaza, comparing registered marriages before the war with unregistered marriages after the war, but most underage marriages were always unregistered because it allowed the PLO and Hamas, and the Western NGOs which funnel money to them, to pretend that child marriage rates were improving.

The only thing that has ever improved these numbers is westernization and once the Hamas takeover happened, Gaza went down the same path as Afghanistan, breeding generations of ‘soldiers’ tasked with the mission of conquering and eliminating non-Muslim minorities.

Child marriage rates are high because girls are seen as property and breeding machines for the war. Yasser Arafat, the leader of the PLO, bragged that, “the womb of the Arab woman is my strongest weapon.” The Egyptian Islamic terrorist didn’t of course mean his actual wife or single daughter, who lived in luxury in Paris with billions in stolen foreign aid, but the ‘fellaheen’, the peasant who is expected to breed sons as cannon fodder and daughters as breeding fodder.

These aren’t new innovations, but standard Islamic practices that explain its worldwide spread.

Blaming America and Israel for the tribal feudal nature of Islam, its abuse of women and its hunger for conquest, is a matter of blaming the victims for the outrages of their oppressors.

Muslim men in Afghanistan and Gaza sell their daughters because they’re means to an end. And that ‘end’ is the conquest and subjugation of the rest of the world commanded by Islam.

Raping children is just how more child soldiers are made to conquer the children of the world.

Wolves Among the Sheep > Buddhist Monks up to no good in Sri Lanka, media hides it

 

Child Abuse Claims Made Against Nearly 300 Sri Lankan Buddhist Monks in Last Three Years

News

The revelation that a large number of Buddhist monks in Sri Lanka are accused of abusing children was made in response to a freedom of information request by OCCRP. It comes as the country grapples with child sex allegations against one of its most senior Buddhist clergymen.

Nearly 300 Sri Lankan monks have been accused of abusing children in the last three years, leading to charges against nearly 30 of them, the country’s child protection agency has disclosed.

The revelation by Sri Lanka’s National Child Protection Authority (NCPA), which was made in response to a freedom of information request by OCCRP, comes as the Buddhist-majority country grapples with the recent arrest of one of its most senior clergymen for alleged child sex offences.

Venerable Pallegama Hemarathana Thero, 71, who oversees eight of the country’s most sacred Buddhist sites, was arrested on May 9 for the alleged sexual abuse of a 15-year-old girl over a number of years. 

When the top leaders of any organisation misbehave, their morals, or lack thereof, tend to spread to the lower ranks, even in religious institutions.

The cleric has not been charged and was released on bail last week. One of his defense lawyers, Mahesh Kotuwella, said that Hemarathana is currently under investigation for statutory rape.

“My client firmly denies all allegations made against him,” Hemarathana’s lawyer told OCCRP.

Hemarathana’s arrest has led to controversy in Sri Lanka, where monks are deeply admired and respected, and criticism of clergy is often viewed as an attack on the identity of the country’s dominant Sinhalese Buddhist majority.

Sensitivities are so strong that many Sri Lankan media outlets have not reported on Hemarathana’s arrest, despite his case attracting international coverage.

The NCPA told OCCRP that members of the public and clergy had made complaints against 285 different Buddhist monks between May 1, 2023 and May 1, 2026. NCPA referrals led to charges against 27 of the accused monks, the agency said, but added it did not have data on how many were convicted.

The NCPA’s chairperson, retired justice Preethi Inoka Ranasinghe, told OCCRP that over 70 percent of the complaints were for sexual offences. She added that cases are rising in the country, and that much abuse, including by religious figures, continues to go unreported.

The NCPA has also criticized the response of authorities to allegations of sexual abuse by the senior monk, Hemarathana. The agency’s legal officer, Sajeewani Abeykoon, recently told a court that the authority “had to take a stick and chase the police” to get him arrested.

Professor Harendra de Silva, the founding chairperson of the NCPA, told OCCRP that the elevated status of Buddhist monks in Sri Lanka’s conservative society makes it difficult to arrest those accused of offences against children.

“You need to remember that a clergy, especially a leading figure, means a powerful person with a lot of money,” he said. 

As the investigation in Hemarathana’s case proceeds, his lawyer Kotuwella told OCCRP that the Attorney General of Sri Lanka will determine “whether indictments will be filed before the High Court in relation to the allegation of statutory rape.”

More on Hemarathana

Monk suspended over child sex abuse claims

The nation’s Buddhist hierarchy suspended a senior monk accused of sexually abusing an 11-year-old girl, in a high-profile case that has shocked the religiously conservative nation.

In a rare disciplinary move, 71-year-old Pallegama Hema­ra­thana on Saturday was stripped of his responsibilities as the chief custodian of a highly venerated ficus grown from a sapling of a tree believed to have sheltered the Buddha.

“The Council of Monks of the Malwatte Chapter decided today to suspend Ven Hema­rathana until the conclusion of the legal proceedings against him,” a statement issued by the chief priests said.

Police arrested Hemarathana on May 9 over allegations that he had sexually abused an 11-year-old girl in 2022 at the Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi temple in the city of Anuradhapura.

The monk has since been granted bail while a court has barred him from travelling abroad.

The temple draws thousands of people daily who pay homage at the tree Buddhists believe is closely connected to the same ficus that sheltered the Buddha when he attained enlightenment.

Obviously, it didn't have the same effect on Hema­ra­thana.

There have been several cases of clergy abusing children in Sri Lanka, but Hemarathana is the most senior monk to be accused of such a crime. — AFP

Croatia: Muslim migrants from UK gang-rape woman,

Daily Mail calls attackers ‘three Brits’

Aug 2, 2025 8:00 am By Robert Spencer11 Comments

It is unlikely that Ami Arifi, Gezhim Xhafa, and Sohqib Shakibi think of themselves as “Brits.” They are much more likely to claim citizenship in the global umma. But they’re British citizens now, and so the Daily Mail plays along with the charade.

Why does this keep happening? Yes, sexual molestation happens all over. But we see Muslim migrants involved in this kind of story is seen on a not infrequent basis. Why? One reason may be because such treatment of infidel women is sanctioned in the Qur’an.

In France, a Muslim quoted Qur’an while raping his victim. A survivor of a Muslim rape gang in the UK has said that her rapists would quote the Qur’an to her, and believed their actions justified by Islam. Thus it came as no surprise when Muslim migrants in France raped a girl and videoed the rape while praising Allah and invoking the Qur’an. In India, a Muslim gave a Qur’an and a prayer rug to the woman he was holding captive and repeatedly raping. And the victim of an Islamic State jihadi rapist recalled: “He told me that according to Islam he is allowed to rape an unbeliever. He said that by raping me, he is drawing closer to God…He said that raping me is his prayer to God.” In India, a Muslim kidnapped and raped a 14-year-old Hindu girl, and forced her to read the Qur’an and Islamic prayers. In Pakistan, another Christian woman recounted that her rapist was also religious: “He threw me on the bed and started to rape me. He demanded I marry him and convert to Islam. I refused. I am not willing to deny Jesus and he said that if I would not agree he would kill me.” Rapists demanded that another girl’s family turn her over to them, claiming that she had recited the Islamic profession of faith during the rape and thus could not live among infidels.

The Qur’an teaches that Infidel women can be lawfully taken for sexual use (cf. its allowance for a man to take “captives of the right hand,” 4:3, 4:24, 23:1-6, 33:50, 70:30). The Qur’an says: “O prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused. And Allah is always forgiving and merciful.” (33:59) The implication there is that if women do not cover themselves adequately with their outer garments, they may be abused, and that such abuse would be justified.

Woman, 28, ‘gang-raped by three Brits was bitten all over her body during two-hour ordeal in Croatian beach hotel'

by Nick Pisa, Daily Mail, July 25, 2025 (thanks to Pamela Geller):

Three British men have appeared in court in Croatia charged with the gang rape of a local woman at a popular holiday resort.

Ami Arifi, 29, Gezhim Xhafa, 28, and Sohqib Shakibi, 24, appeared before an investigating judge on Thursday….

Police said the 28-year-old woman, who is local, was the victim of a planned attack and the men, who are all from London, face up to ten years in jail if convicted.

One of the suspects is said to have offered a bail of 30 thousand euros, but it was not accepted.

The suspects met the woman that same evening on Matejuška, the popular waterfront in Split and popular with tourists and locals.

She is said to have taken a ride on a motorbike with one of them, then accepted their invitation to go to their four star hotel room at around 5.30 in the morning.

According to local media, the first defendant insulted and swore at her, bit her lips and touched her private parts.

The court heard the alleged victim objected to this behaviour and said it hurt, but the first defendant continued to assault her.

He is alleged to have taken away the woman’s mobile phone and asked her to have sexual intercourse with the second defendant.

The victim, in fear, agreed and went to the room with the second defendant, it is alleged.

After that, the first defendant allegedly asked the victim to perform oral sex on the third defendant, the court heard.

According to the woman, he bit her and touched her all over her body. She says she resisted, but at one point managed to free herself and call her ex boyfriend who alerted police….

Two are originally from Kosovo, but have British citizenship as does the third.

Antisemitism in Spain > 50 Jewish kids kicked off plane as terrorists for singing

 

Singing is a normal practice for a bunch of kids travelling to or from an event. BA needs to take some serious action here to regain some form of credibility. I hope a large lawsuit is in order.

Airline crew eject Jewish kids from flight – ‘Israel is a terrorist state’

A young woman, chaperoning the children, was tackled and arrested after defending Jewish campers on a Spanish flight.

By World Israel News Staff

Dozens of Jewish children and teens en route to summer camp were removed from a flight in Spain, and their chaperone was reportedly assaulted by police— after airline staff allegedly called Israel a “terrorist state.”

The incident occurred aboard a Vueling flight scheduled to depart from Valencia. According to reports, the disturbance began while the plane was still on the tarmac.

While waiting for takeoff, the youth group began singing songs in Hebrew — an act that reportedly angered the flight crew.

Members of the Vueling staff allegedly shouted at the children, calling Israel a “terrorist state,” and demanded they stop singing.

Even after the children complied, police boarded the aircraft and forced the group off the plane.

According to a report by the aviation blog View from the Wing, police instructed passengers to place their cell phones on the floor, telling them they were not allowed to record the children’s removal from the aircraft.

When the camp’s director — a young woman — challenged the legality of that demand, she was tackled to the ground and handcuffed.

A video circulating on social media shows the woman being forcibly restrained by officers as she pleads for help, while they handcuff her behind her back.

Some reports indicate she was physically assaulted during the arrest.

“The woman who was arrested and beaten is the director of the Kinneret summer camp. Fifty Jewish French children, aged 10 to 15, were singing Hebrew songs on the plane. The @vueling airline crew said that Israel is a terrorist state and forced the children off the aircraft; they are now in Valencia, waiting to return to France,” Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli wrote on X.

Child Sexual Abuse in France > Le Scouarnec's 299 victims complain about the lack of attention the trial is getting

 

Victims of Le Scouarnec slam lack of action in France’s landmark child sex abuse case

Analysis

France

Former French surgeon Joël Le Scouarnec sexually abused 299 children over the course of 25 years, most of whom were under the age of 15, in one of the largest cases of child sexual abuse France has ever seen. As the trial comes to a close, his victims and organisations combatting violence against children wish the case had garnered more public attention or political action.

Just over a dozen victims and their families rallied outside a courthouse in western France last week, surrounded by activists.

By their feet, a crime scene had been reconstructed. Symbolic objects like children’s clothes, toys and a notebook were scattered atop a white sheet. Each object was given a number, as though it would later be taken in for forensic testing.

Joël Le Scouarnec, a French paedophile surgeon accused of raping and abusing 299 child patients between 1989 and 2014, has been on trial since February in one of the largest sex abuse cases France has ever seen.

A final verdict is expected tomorrow, on May 28.  

As the three-month trial draws to a close, victims and organisations combatting child abuse are not only frustrated with the lack of attention the case has received, but angry at the meagre actions taken by the French government to ensure a crime of this scale never happens again.

‘Shame must change sides’

But it is not for want of trying. Those who fell victim to Le Scouarnec’s abuse as children have made significant efforts to try and draw public attention to the case, and the issue of child sexual abuse more broadly.

Many waived their right to anonymity in the hearings, agreeing to testify in the courtroom. Others demanded action, like Nicolas Gourlet, who during his testimony in late April asked that “things change so we don’t end up with another Le Scouarnec out there”.

Gourlet was sexually assaulted by Le Scouarnec in 2006 at the age of 13, after undergoing surgery for a cyst on his navel. He is now 31 years old.

Throughout the trial, an increasing number of victims also changed their minds about speaking openly to the press in the hope that “shame changes sides”, as Gourlet said, echoing the words of Gisèle Pelicot in the mass rape trial that rocked France last year. 

‘We are all in denial’: Le Scouarnec trial draws little media attention despite outcry

But despite their efforts, Le Scouarnec’s victims say very little has been done.

“Nothing is happening. We haven’t seen a single political reaction,” Manon Lemoine, who was 11 when she was raped by Le Scouarnec, told AFP. “Despite how difficult this trial is for us, we are obliged to put our energy into making ourselves heard, to try and get a bit of visibility, a bit of consideration,” she said.

The victims' group has asked the French government to form a special committee of representatives from the health and justice ministries, as well as the children’s commissioner, to draw lessons from the Scouarnec case and improve the government response to, and prevention of, child sexual abuse. 

“We haven’t heard back yet, but we’re waiting for them to act on what’s happening now, on this tragedy,” Lemoine said.

Gabriel Trouve, who was assaulted by Le Scouarnec at age 5 when he was hospitalised, believes the trial should serve as an “open-air lab” to expose “all the systemic failures” that exist, and to ensure a “solid support and prevention system” is put in place.
