The Big Lie of Blaming the U.S. and Israel for Islamic Child Rape in Gaza and Afghanistan
by Daniel Greenfield
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.
Listen to sex workers when they assure you that the men buying them are misogynists who treat them as an acceptable outlet for their violent, depraved fantasies.
Women are already disproportionately affected by geopolitical issues, AI is no different. Our survival relies on natural resources, democracy and human rights. Humanity needs to collectively resist the revolution.
“In Wales, all new profit-making in this sector was stopped in April, and the practice is being phased out altogether. But in England, the government seeks only to tweak this immoral and dysfunctional system.”
Profits are being put before children’s lives in England.

There are no words to describe the horrors that Sudanese women and girls are enduring at the hands of the RSF, and which have not received a fraction of the outrage, attention and action by World leaders that it deserves.
Glamour, the magazine who last year named 7 men “Women of the Year”, is now telling women that what matters when giving birth is what they’re wearing. Meanwhile, women are facing a real crisis in maternity care across the NHS. These people are Exhausting.
In conflict, sexual violence escalates. Whether as a weapon by militias or by men in communities amid institutional breakdown, the impact is devastating. This is the reality for women & girls in Congo today. Hundreds of cases reported weekly, while countless others go unreported
I think some of you forget that autistic people can come across as awkward, phrase things poorly, miss social cues, or use a tone that doesn’t match their intentions, because they’re autistic.
Something most people won't know about me is my interest in religion, isn't a new thing for me. This isn't my first rodeo.
I’ve been fascinated with religion since I could read — maybe before.
Don’t ask me why.
Maybe because my house had none.
No prayers before bed, no crosses on the wall,
Just a lapsed Catholic mum
And a dad who toyed with Jesus one year and Jah the next, but nothing stuck
But my extended family?
We were a mosaic — not just racially,
But spiritually.
Muslim. Jewish. Catholic. Christian.
Jehovah’s Witness on a Tuesday,
Rasta on a Sunday,
Buddhist uncle burning incense in between.
And what I couldn’t get from family,
I got next door.
Hindu neighbours with open doors and open hearts.
Persian friends telling Zoroastrian tales
As I sat wide-eyed, soaking up every word.
Me and my little bestie —
Storming the church down the road like two tiny theologians,
Firing off questions at the poor priest
Like he had a direct line to God.
And as I grew older,
Those childish questions sharpened.
Wonder became study,
Curiosity turned into critique.
The playful “why”s grew teeth.
I wasn’t just asking anymore —
I was debating, challenging,
Pushing ancient texts against modern truths
And refusing to be shushed.
People are free to believe whatever they like.
They are not free to stop the criticism,
The questioning,
Or the rejection of those beliefs.
That’s the deal.
That’s the line — bold, bright, and unbreakable.
I did the same with everyone:
Relatives, neighbours, family friends & teachers.
If you had a god, I wanted to know.
If you had a story, I wanted to hear.
I read the books, I took part in the celebrations, I immersed myself as much as possible in as much as possible.
Three decades in,
My bookshelf groans under the weight of holy texts —
Torah, Qur’an, Bible, Bhagavad Gita,
And more.
And still, I say this with my whole chest:
If the price of free speech
Is to stack those books sky high,
Strike a match,
And let them burn —
Then I will dance barefoot around the flames,
Howling like a wild heathen,
Because no truth needs protection from a question.
And no god worth following fears the fire.
Women in Gaza are speaking out about sexual violence by Hamas and the UK pro Gaza lot respond by calling them liars. Not ignorance. A deliberate refusal to believe women when it doesn’t suit them.
Obviously #BonnieBlue actions are grim, but let's remember she does this because THOUSANDS of MEN participate and millions of MEN pay to watch and the MEN that run #onlyfans profit from it.
She's not the problem. She's the inevitable outcome.
Someone needs to do a public service and leak the names of every single one of her Johns. Those men are your brothers, husbands, fathers and sons. They are not separate from us whatsover....
A groundbreaking book that uncovers the hidden histories of disabled people who fought against injustice shows disabled people are still “locked in bureaucratic battles” for support, just as they were in the 16th and 17th centuries.
