Not only has the Islamophilic BBC managed to make a drama about girls trafficked by Muslim rape gangs without mentioning Islam in press releases or the trailer, but the show's writer even asserts that “there was no religious basis for this” grotesque abuse.

Breitbart London reports that on May 16, BBC One will air Three Girls, a dramatization of the Rochdale human trafficking carried out by a gang of Pakistani and Afghani origin Muslims between 2005 and 2008. The story will focus on three children who were targeted.

As Breitbart notes, the case resulted in the 2012 conviction of nine men for serious sexual offenses, including rape and human trafficking, inflicted on white English girls as young as 13.

“The drama will look at the way in which these girls were groomed, how they were ignored by the authorities directly responsible for protecting them, and how they eventually made themselves heard,” the BBC explained in a statement.

The good news is that such a program will expose this nightmare to a wide audience; the bad news is that the program will ignore a significant element at the root of the abuse: the fact that the traffickers targeted their victims precisely because they were non-Muslim.

But in The Guardian, the series writer Nicole Taylor insisted, “There was no religious basis for this, but a wider discussion about why this was, and is, a distinct pattern would be welcome.”

Welcome, that is, unless one wants to discuss the Islamic element of the crime. In that case, discussion is very unwelcome indeed.

Taylor said she “didn’t want to give these people [the English Defence League] an opportunity,” by telling the story, adding, “But that’s not a reason to do the drama.”

The judge who sentenced the men disagreed. Judge Gerald Clifton clearly stated that religion was a factor in the case and part of what motivated the men to treat the girls “as though they were worthless and beyond respect.”

“One of the factors leading to that was the fact that they were not part of your community or religion.”

Breitbart continues:

The BBC insisted they had done extensive research and worked with victims to tell the true story as accurately as possible.

Charlotte Moore, the Controller of BBC TV Channels and iPlayer, commented: “The team behind the award-winning Five Daughters have spent three years talking to the girls, unraveling the shocking scale of abuse, the horror of what they’ve been through and the enormous courage it’s taken for them to speak out.”

Writer Ms. Taylor added: “Whatever I thought I knew about what had happened in Rochdale, I knew nothing until I met the girls and their families. Listening to them was the beginning of understanding – not just of the terrible suffering they experienced, but of the courage it took to persist and persist over years, in telling authorities who didn’t want to know, and ultimately participate in the court proceedings that brought justice.”

Perhaps justice would be even more thoroughly served if the show hadn't whitewashed Islam as a motivating factor in the trafficking.
