“Pakistani ‘’ Grooming gangs :The truth (A thread: 🧵) .

Lets talk about the infamous Pakistani grooming gangs and why they are being called the Pakistani groomers and what average Pakistanis and what are the honest reactions and opinions of British Pakistani regarding this situation?

Who are groomers ? They are a organized groups exploiting vulnerable children and individuals for systemic sexual abuse.

The term became popular in linked to heinous crimes in Rotherham, Rochdale, Telford , and beyond.

Definition: “Grooming gangs are not your average perpetrators of sexual violence.”

These are networks of individuals who lure, manipulate, and abuse victims in a calculated manner mosty young girls are their victims.

Their crimes aren’t impulsive they’re premeditated and systemic.

Modus Operandi:

These gangs employ deceit. Men often pose as boyfriends to gain victims’ trust.

They shower young girls with attention and gifts, isolating them from family.

Once trust is established, they drug, rape, and traffic them to other towns and other people .

In the below video the interviewer is interviewing a convicted criminal/groomer.

The victims were Overwhelmingly poor, white, working-class girls often already vulnerable due to neglect or abusive home environments.

The three factor combined , Isolated, voiceless, and trapped, they become easy prey for predators who exploit every opportunity.

Between 1997 and 2013, an estimated 1,400 children were abused in Rotherham alone (Jay Report).

Most perpetrators were described as of Pakistani origin.

The abuse wasn’t subtle victims were raped in cars, parks, and hotel rooms.

Some were branded with initials to signify ownership, others threatened with death if they spoke out , kept a 15 year old girl in a cage like a dog, while using her as a sex slave.

The teenage girl, Victoria Agoglia, who was abused by the Rochdale grooming gang, was r*ped before being killed by a lethal heroine injection that was injected into her by a 50 year old man.

The same gang also kept the aborted fetus of another teenage girl as a souvenir, storing it in a freezer.

In September 2003 the 15 year old girl visited the home of a 50-year-old Pakistani Muslim man - Mohammed Yaqoob - who injected her with heroin.

She died in hospital five days later.

He was later jailed for three and half years for injecting her with a noxious substance after being cleared of manslaughter.

The girl was one of hundreds of teens, some as young as 11, that were groomed, trafficked and abused by gangs between 2004-2012 in the Greater Manchester area.

Shabir Ahmed, one of the ringleaders of the Rochdale child grooming gang who forced his victims to call him 'Daddy' was jailed for a total of 41 years for multiple r*pes and sexual offences against children.

Think of your sister, daughter, or granddaughter as a child. Picture them.

Lucy Lowe was 14.
Vicky Round was 12.
Becky Watson was 11.
Charlene Downes was 11 or 12.
Sammy Woodhouse was 14.
Victoria Agoglia was 13.
Sarah Wilson was 11.
And there are countless more.

children barely out of primary school, young and in no way responsible for the atrocities committed against them.

When girls attempted to end the abuse, the men would remind them of what happened to Lucy Lowe, a grooming gang victim who was burned alive by her abuser, along with her family in a deliberate house fire Lucy had a child with her abuser when she was only 14-years-old.

The groomers plied them with alcohol and drugs, they raped them in graveyards, they put them into the back of taxis and drove them to be gang-raped by 20+ of their friends, they dismembered them and sold them as kebab meat.

They inserted a pump into their anal cavity and had multiple men sodomise them at once, they raped them on filthy mattresses above takeaway shops, they forced panties down their throat to muffle the screams, they threatened to murder them if they told anyone.

They brutally beat them, they killed them and torched their houses with their family inside,

they picked them up from local authority care homes to be raped, they forced them to take crack cocaine and heroin,

they convinced them they loved them so they could abuse them, they killed their unborn children,

they targeted the most vulnerable and marginalised, they told them no one would believe them, they forced them to get abortions, they passed them round like a piece of meat,

they threatened to kill their families, they gaslit and manipulated them. 💔

Watch the interview of a survivor.
8/
They branded them “white slags”, “child prostitutes”, and “shaggers”. They walked in on victims naked and drugged with 20+ adult men and only arrested the child, they arrested girls for prostitution and handed them back to the same men that were exploiting them.

They added the victims to dockets as co-defendants in their own abuse, they downplayed the scale of abuse, they refused to investigate reports, they paid for the taxi rides the girls got raped during, they silenced .

they blamed the girls for their own abuse, they tried to block inquiries, and more.

Imagine all of this happened to your sister. Or your daughter.

Now think again about how young they were, how vulnerable, how innocent.

And understand the true horror of child sexual exploitation and the depravity of grooming gangs.
10/
Now the question is “Why didn’t authorities act? “

Local councils and police feared accusations of racism.

The majority of offenders in these cases were of Pakistani, indian ,a afghani bengali , making the issue politically sensitive.

Political correctness overrode justice.
11/Image
Image
Social workers and whistleblowers tried raising the alarm, but they were ignored or silenced.

Files went missing. Victims were labeled as “problematic” or even “consenting.” Imagine being a 13-year-old victim and being told it was your fault.

12/
Now, let’s address the contentious term: “Muslim grooming gangs.” Why are they called this? Critics argue it’s unfair to attach religion to these crimes, while others emphasize that religious ideology plays a role in the mindset of many perpetrators.

Here’s the nuance: Rape is not inherently tied to any religion. It’s a heinous crime committed across every community.

But when a perpetrator specifically targets non-Muslim girls because they believe them to be “impure” or “fair game,” that’s ideological.
12/
In these cases, many perpetrators seem influenced by Islamist extremist ideologies. The belief that non-Muslim girls are “lesser” or “conquerable” is not cultural it’s rooted in a religiopolitical mindset that seeks to justify heinous acts in the name of supremacy.

So, yes, there’s nothing wrong with identifying these networks as Muslim grooming gangs.

It’s not an indictment of an entire faith, but a recognition that ideology motivated these crimes. Ignoring this is a disservice to the victims and to justice.
13/Image

This isn’t limited to the UK either.

Similar patterns have emerged in other European countries.

The scale and systematic nature of these crimes suggest that it’s not just a localized issue but part of a much larger problem tied to extremist ideologies.

Muslims who feel defensive about this term need to self-reflect and engage in community conversations.

Ask tough questions: Why do these individuals believe such ideologies? What steps can we take to counter them? Silence isn’t an option anymore.

UAE placed 19 individuals and entities on its Local Terrorist List for terrorist organization Muslim Brotherhood affiliation.

EIGHT of the entities are based in the United Kingdom.

The UAE is sanctioning entities in the UK, let that sink in.

Everyone of those Pakistani, Afghani and Bangladeshi men should be deported, and blacklisted - along with all their contact list thoroughly investigated and if any found receive the same treatment or should be given a death penalty.

Most of these people are on asylum or illegal immigrants . They have abandoned pakistan ,and refused to intergerate into western culture . They have their one leg in Pakistan and one in uk and causinh chaos in both .

There should be a new taskforce established, a better one, with powers to take immediate action and resolve this epidemic of these monsters.

15/Image
Image
Image
Non-Muslims should stop mollycoddling Muslims over this issue. Political correctness doesn’t help victims.

Naming the problem and addressing its ideological roots is the only way forward.

And no, this isn’t about painting an entire community with the same brush. Many Muslims are horrified by these crimes.

But deflection or denial only enables perpetrators and gives extremists a free pass to continue their exploitation.
16/Image
In some cases, the offenders held deep-rooted misogyny, seeing women (especially non-Muslim women) as objects.

This toxic mix of cultural and ideological supremacy must be confronted head-on.

In Pakistan such events never happened because it was never allowed .

Pakistanis make up just 2% of the UK population, yet:

- 6% of British doctors are Pakistani.

- 8% of junior doctors and nurses are Pakistani.

20% of small & medium enterprises (SMEs) are owned by South Asians, many Pakistani-led.

The British Pakistani community contributes £1+ billion annually to the UK economy.

Proportional to their population, 2% of all sexual violence in the U.K. is carried out by Pakistanis. Jail them.

Hang them. Do whatever with them, as long as it is consistently applied to all offenders of all backgrounds.
18/Image
We disown this trash. And we will not be known by them.

The grooming gang from a decade ago represents all 2 Billion Muslims and everyone than the rapes in churches? represents Christianity.

The widely circulated claim that "80% of grooming cases are Asians" is based on just 120 cases over 12 years.

Tommy Robinson is not in prison for ANYTHING to do with a grooming gang.

He is in prison for defaming a CHILD victim of abuse.

He was ordered by the court NOT to do it again.

He then did it TEN TIMES.

He had 10 chances. He broke the court order. He broke the law.

All of Tommy Robinson’s friends are pedøphiIes.
19/Image
Image
So, what’s the takeaway? This is a multilayered problem ideological, cultural, and systemic.

It demands accountability from communities, law enforcement, and policymakers.

Protecting vulnerable children must override all fears of political backlash.

The victims of these grooming gangs deserve justice.

They were failed by their families, communities, and systems.

Their stories must be heard, their pain acknowledged, and their abusers brought to justice without exceptions.

In March 2000, a secret deal was cut. It was arranged between a child rapist and police officers.

An abused girl was handed over to the police by her abuser. In return, he was allowed to go free.

Jahanghir Akhtar, who later became deputy head of the council, was accused of facilitating the deal. He denied it.

The abuser was his cousin, Arshid Hussain, a notorious gangster.

Foreign systems of prioritising distant family kinship over justice causing a crisis? In South Yorkshire?

Hassan Ali, the policeman who helped arrange the secret deal, was run over and killed by a car on the day he was told he was under investigation.

With his death, there was no further inquiry.

Decisive Airstrikes in Afghanistan: A Severe Blow to TTP. 🪡🧵

In an escalation of counterterrorism efforts, a series of airstrikes were conducted against (TTP) and Hafiz Gul Bahadur (HGB) factions in Afghanistan’s Bermal district of Paktika and parts of Khost province.

These strikes, reportedly carried out in response to a recent attack on soldiers near the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, have dealt a significant blow to the operational capacity of the TTP.

(Image unrelated.)
1/Image
The airstrikes appear to be a reaction to a gruesome incident where 16 soldiers were ambushed, killed,by TTP militants in Pakistan’s North Waziristan district.

Following the attack, the militants allegedly fled across the border into Afghanistan, where they were reportedly tracked and targeted.

The cross-border movement of these militants has reignited the debate about the presence of TTP safe havens in Afghan territory an issue that has long strained relations between the neighboring countries.
2/Image
According to reports, key areas targeted included Margha village and Laman area in Bermal, Paktika.

These locations were believed to house critical TTP operational hubs and senior commanders.

Among the significant hits was the residence of Qari Muhammad Shoaib, a TTP official allegedly involved in propaganda operations.

1. Commander Sher Zaman @ Mukhlis Yar, a trainer of suicide bombers
2. Commander Izhar @ Abu Hamza
3. Commander Akhtar Muhammad @ Khalil (Majlis e Askari)
4. Commander Shoaib Iqbal @ Muneeb Jatt ( TTP Umar media Cell Incharge)

22 comander along with their associates got killed in Barmal. ,Paktika.While Shoaib and his family were reportedly injured in the strikes.

The Afghan transit trade: A good will gesture turned economic burden for pakistan . ( A thread 🧵)

The Afghan transit trade was established to help Afghanistan , a landlocked, country gain access to international markets via Pakistan.

The ATT has turned into a double edged sword for Pakistan.

This short thread explores why and how the misuse of ATT is impacting Pakistan’s economy and why reform is urgently needed. (1/9)Image
Afghanistan a landlocked country shares 2640 km border with pakistan has no direct access to sea.

The Afghan Transit Trade (ATT) was established in 1965 under the (ATTA) to allow landlocked Afghanistan to access global markets through Pakistani ports, primarily Karachi.

Goods imported by Afghan traders are tax-free in Pakistan but taxed when they enter Afghanistan. (2/9)Image
Pakistan has also attempted to help Afghanistan diversify its trade routes, offering access not only to Karachi but also to Gwadar.

ATT goods, however, are restricted to routes passing through Pakistan.

They do not legally enter other countries, but Afghanistan’s reliance on Pakistani routes has sparked resentment, with some Afghan groups openly criticizing and disrespecting Pakistan on international forums.(3/9)Image
