Islamic Rape Gangs? Just Get Over It

A Georgetown University professor has sparked outrage by telling the British public to simply “get over it” regarding the country’s grooming gang crisis.

Professor Jonathan A.C. Brown, who holds the chair of Islamic Civilization at Georgetown, responded dismissively to mounting evidence linking repeated patterns of child sexual exploitation to one specific religion.

The remarks landed as Britain prepares to launch a statutory Independent Inquiry into Grooming Gangs on April 13. The final terms of reference, published March 31, explicitly state that the probe will examine the ethnicity, culture, and religion of perpetrators alongside institutional failures that enabled the abuse of thousands of children.

Rupert Lowe MP highlighted the reality in his March 31 X post:

There is a link between the rape gangs and one particular religion – we have seen it again and again and again at our inquiry.

That religion is Islam.

As a country, we must have the courage to face up to that fact.

Brown’s response was blunt: “get over it.”

When another user described the stance as “absurdly evil,” Brown repeated the exact same phrase: “Get over it.”

Libs of TikTok highlighted the exchange: 

Jonathan Brown, a Professor at @Georgetown, responded to a post calling out Islamic rape gangs in the UK, saying, "Get over it."

He deleted the comment, but then DOUBLED DOWN using the SAME disgusting response when another user called him out.

Arminho captured the public reaction: “There is something absurdly evil about saying ‘get over it’ in context with gang rape, torture and murder for religious reasons. Something like this would never be said about any other group for lesser crimes.”

Brown has since made his X account private and removed the comments.

A Georgetown student called for consequences. Shae McInnis, president of the university’s College Republicans chapter, stated: “Professor Jonathan Brown’s recent remarks continue a troubling pattern of reckless, incendiary, and dangerous statements that he has made without remorse… The university should take decisive action and remove him from his position.”

Brown’s flippant dismissal fits a broader pattern of elite denial that has shielded grooming gangs across the UK for years. Authorities in towns like Rotherham, Rochdale, and Telford repeatedly ignored or minimized the ethnic and religious patterns to avoid accusations of racism.

The problem shows no signs of abating. Last month we highlighted how a new mini-mart grooming scandal is exploding in the UK, with kids abused in exchange for alcohol and cigarettes. 

Days prior, another disgrace surfaced involving illegal shops handing free vapes to children for sexual favours. 

In London, Mayor Sadiq Khan faced backlash after a BBC investigation laid bare the scale of grooming gangs operating in the capital. 

This is all in addition to what many regard as a clear institutional cover-up of the grooming gangs scandal:

These cases reflect the same systemic failures the upcoming national inquiry must now address. Political correctness and unchecked mass immigration without assimilation have repeatedly placed British children at risk while elites looked the other way.

Brown’s “get over it” attitude perfectly embodies the establishment mindset: name the religious pattern and you’re the problem. Demand protection for vulnerable kids and you’re smeared as bigoted.

Britain’s grooming gang scandal is not a relic of the past. It is an ongoing consequence of open borders policies and a refusal to confront uncomfortable cultural realities. The new inquiry’s inclusion of ethnicity and religion in its scope marks an overdue acknowledgment of facts long suppressed.
