Will inquiries into grooming gangs consider the religion of its perpetrators? Will investigators hear the testimonies that reveal Qur’anic measures and verses have substantiated perpetrators behaviour as legit in their own eyes? The Qur’an is explicit in the belief that men are above women (Qur’an 4:34a). For vulnerable girls, orphans, and females who become ‘the owned’ –aka abused English and Sikh girls from Rotherham as an example– can be taken for ‘marriage’. Will Islam, Imams, Muslims be mentioned alongside other labels, such as Anglican, the Church, which are also under investigation? What about secular abusers? Will victims find justice and their abusers held to account?

The Taliban have got the world talking! “Women will be given freedom within the limits of Islam.” Those last five words are the sticking point, and the world shudders at what they could potentially mean. Some will say it depends on how you interpret Islamic law; yes, there is that, but what does the Qur’an say? What does the life of Muhammad exemplify for men in their interactions with women. What were his limits? What are the limits implemented by the god of Islam - Allah? What does Allah say?
