The abduction, rape and sexual abuse of young girls by Muslim men is recognized as a problem in numerous different countries, including Sweden, Norway, Holland, France, Denmark, Pakistan, India, Somalia and Egypt

In each of these countries the victims all share the same profile: they are overwhelmingly non-Muslim. For instance, in Pakistan the victims are invariably Christian, in India they are Sikhs and Hindus, in Somalia they are Christians and Animists, and in Egypt they are Copts. Many Islamic cultures consider young girls to have reached adulthood by the time that they are nine or ten. This is rooted in the example set by Islam’s prophet Mohammed. The Islamic texts tell us that Mohammed married Aisha when she was just six years old and that he consummated the marriage (had sex with her) when she was nine. The story of Mohammed’s wedding Aisha forms the foundation for the legal age of consent (or equivalent) in many Islamic countries. The Qur’an dictates that women should have a second class status to men and that unbelievers should live in a state of submission, or dhimmitude. Many mainstream interpretations of Sharia Law make it very clear that any unbelievers living in a Muslim state ought to be granted far fewer rights than Muslims. Being a dhimmi means that any crimes committed against you are punished far less severely than they would be if committed against a Muslim (if they are punished at all). If you happen to be a woman then you’re in an even worse position. If this is how Muslim men are encouraged to see non-Muslim women, as dhimmi who deserve little to no rights or protection, then that attitude would surely lead to exactly the sort of problem that we have with Muslim grooming gangs.
