(LifeSiteNews) — Two men, reportedly Afghan nationals, appeared in court in Coventry, UK, on July 28. Twenty-three-year-old Ahmad Mulakhil faced two charges of rape and Mohammed Kabir, also 23, faced charges of kidnapping, strangulation, and aiding and abetting the rape of a girl under age 13. Their next appearance in Warwick Crown Court is scheduled for August 26.
The rape of the 12-year-old girl in Nuneaton — and the identity of her alleged assailants — has poured yet more gasoline into the UK migrant crisis tinderbox, with Warwickshire County Council leader George Finch stating that Ahmad and Mohammed were asylum seekers, and the police insisting that “Once someone is charged with an offence, we follow national guidance. This guidance does not include sharing ethnicity or immigration status.”
This official brushoff is no longer being accepted by an increasingly angry public and the populist politicians purporting to speak for them. Finch, whom the BBC describes as “the youngest council leader (age 19) in the UK and represents Reform UK,” published a public letter to Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, Chief Constable of Warwickshire Police Alex Franklin-Smith, and Chief Executive of Council Monica Fogarty, stating that the citizens of Warwickshire are outraged by the crime and alleged coverup.
“Residents of Warwickshire can see they have not been told the full story,” he wrote. “I am disgusted that one year on from the social unrest that we saw in parts of the UK in 2024, the Home Office and the police have clearly not learned any lessons from the handling of similar incidents last year. I strongly believe that the only risk to public order from this case in Warwickshire comes from the cover-up itself.”
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage also referred to a “coverup” in the case, similar to “what happened after the Southport killings last year,” in which authorities refused to disclose identity of the terrorist who stabbed three children to death and badly injured 10 others at a dance workshop. The murders caused mass riots, with authorities accusing those who assumed the identity of the killer “Islamophobic.”
“It is not … in any way at all a contempt of court for the British public to know the identity of those who allegedly have committed serious crimes,” Farage told the press. “I felt that in the wake of the Southport attacks, and I feel that ever more strongly today.”
UK authorities have been eager to cover up the identities of “asylum seekers” perpetrating sex crimes against girls and women because their migration policies have led directly to the growing crisis. In her 2021 book Prey: Immigration, Islam, and the Erosion of Women’s Rights, Ayaan Hirsi Ali — who recently converted to Christianity — laid out the chilling data on sex crimes committed by Muslim migrants and described “no-go zones” in major European cities in which the natives of those cities cannot go for fear of violence by migrant interlopers.
Hirsi Ali details a 17% increase in rapes in France between 2017 and 2018; a 12% increase in Sweden in 2016; a 41% increase in Germany in 2017; a 11.8% increase in sexual offenses in Austria since 2009. In Denmark, non-Westerners made up two-fifths of rape convictions and “between a quarter and a third of groping convictions” despite making up less than 13% of the population.
In the UK, of course, there were the Rotherham rape gangs, which abused more than 1,500 child victims while authorities remained silent for fear of being labeled racist and the perpetrators were disingenuously referred to as “Asian.” In Cologne, there were mass sexual assaults for which only two men — a 26-year-old Algerian and a 21-year-old Iraqi — were convicted of sexual assault and each given one year probation. Hirsi Ali details scores of gruesome, individual instances; taken together, they highlight a continental crisis.
The crisis, however, is manmade — and European leaders are understandably desperate to avoid accountability for it. Last month, Reuters detailed a “secret scheme to bring thousands of Afghans to the UK” in order to protect them from Taliban reprisals — but sought to keep the plan from the public, which was of course expected to absorb these new arrivals. As of May, 16,000 Afghans were flown secretly into the UK. A court found that the risk of Taliban reprisal was actually minimal.
The cultural differences between many migrants and “asylum seekers” and the natives of the countries they arrive in are denied by authorities or dubbed “Islamophobic,” but some advocates are happy to emphasize those differences when it is convenient. In a recent case in Minneapolis, a Somali immigrant who seized a 12-year-old girl from her back yard and raped her (he was sentenced to 12 years) was supported by the Al-Ihsan Islamic Center in St. Paul, which wrote a community support letter on behalf of the rapist, specifically citing the challenges he faced of “starting over in a new culture.”
A government’s first responsibility is the protection of its citizens. Too many European leaders seem to feel that their primary obligations are to those flooding into their countries, and that their task is to inform the public that they have a moral obligation to support these migrant policies. They are attempting to push down the lid of a boiling pot — and a steady stream of stories about men such as Ahmad Mulakhil and Mohammed Kabir are making that task more difficult by the day.
