Rupert Lowe's "rape gang inquiry" report is anti-Muslim propaganda.

It is not commentary that went too far or an inquiry that lost its way. It is propaganda produced with a predetermined conclusion, designed to fix in the public mind the image of Muslims as so morally deviant, so irredeemably alien and so dangerous to the social fabric that their removal becomes not merely justifiable but necessary.

It is a crowdfunded, privately assembled document with no statutory powers, no independent oversight, no peer review and no legal authority, launched last month by a sitting MP whose party advocates mass deportation and has called for a death penalty referendum.

It cites as authoritative sources a self-published book, a lobbying organisation whose founder reportedly believes Islam is "the work of the devil", and a figure it describes as a whistleblower, Tommy Robinson.

It opens by tracing the root cause of child sexual exploitation to the British Nationality Act 1948 and the observation that "oil and water do not mix." It is not a child protection document.
