“We are ashamed of the shortcomings identified in this report and we are determined to do all we can to ensure nothing like this ever happens again,” said Chief Constable Sara Thornton. No, you aren’t. You did nothing because you were afraid of charges of “racism” and “Islamophobia” from the far-Left propagandists who wag the British government dog, such as Nick Lowles and Fiyaz Mughal. You let these girls’ lives be destroyed because you were afraid those vicious smear merchants would destroy your career. And they would have.
“Sex Gangs May Have Abused Hundreds Of Girls,” by Lisa Dowd, Sky News, March 3, 2015:
Nearly 400 girls may have been sexually exploited in Oxfordshire over a 16-year period, according to a report that has criticised authorities for failing to protect victims.
The Serious Case Review said a paedophile ring was able to rape and abuse six victims for five years because the girls’ complaints were not taken seriously.
They were reported missing 500 times between 2005 and 2010, the review said.
One victim described how she turned up at a police station covered in blood in the early hours, but was ignored.
The review found multiple failings and said authorities could have stopped the abuse in 2005, rather than 2010 when it was finally uncovered.
However, it found no evidence of “wilful professional neglect” by police and social workers.
The report reveals 373 girls have been identified as possible victims of sexual exploitation within the last 16 years in the county.
The horrific accounts of six victims are documented within the review, along with their contact with authorities.
One girl said: “I turned up at the police station at 2/3am, blood all over me, soaked through my trousers to the crotch. They dismissed it as me being naughty, a nuisance.”
Another told the authorities: “The Asian men felt they ran Oxford. That was exciting. People were afraid of them. I felt protected. People respected them.”
Thames Valley’s police chief said she deeply regretted her force’s failings.

“We are ashamed of the shortcomings identified in this report and we are determined to do all we can to ensure nothing like this ever happens again,” said Chief Constable Sara Thornton….
and I challenge any honest Christian here on this forum to explain how to stop these atrocities here on our own soil and abroad by ONLY praying and by abiding by what I posted previously.
And Jan, I’m not being argumentative, abrasive or disrespectful to you - just have yet to get a straight honest answer from any real Christian here or in person when I have brought up this matter. Where in the NT does it say “but after prayer it may come the time to vanquish those who deal in brutal evil” or something to that effect.
And the “sell your cloak for a sword” I believe is not literal.
Islamophobia = pejorative term used to describe those unafraid to speak against Islam.
Ironic, huh?
If your concept is that devout Christians can’t be stern, bearers of swift action, well armed and ready for blind justice, then I would have to suspect you have never been to Missouri, Arkansas or Texas.
The "authorities" are the People and their votes, and making sure their
Government stands accountable. The Voters are just as guilty of this crime.
Have you ever read the entire book of Joshua? How about the account of Gideon? How about any of these verses? And really, I’m not even trying. The Bible is full of warfare, and much is encouraged by God. In fact, in the book of Joshua and Judges, faith is displayed as courage in warfare.
2 Samuel 10:12 Be strong, and let us fight bravely for our people and the cities of our God. The Lord will do what is good in his sight.
Psalms 18:39 For You have girded me with strength for battle; You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
Joshua 1: 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”
Deuteronomy 20:1 “When you go out to battle against your enemies and see horses and chariots and people more numerous than you, do not be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, who brought you up from the land of Egypt, is with you.
Psalm 44:5 Through You we will push back our adversaries; Through Your name we will trample down those who rise up against us.
Judges 6: 14 The LORD turned to him and said, “Go in the strength you have and save Israel out of Midian’s hand. Am I not sending you ...
Galatians 5:1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
Ephesians 6 10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. 11Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm

Oh for goodness sake. There is a big difference between setting out for petty, selfish vengeance (Not a good thing), and restraining evil men from harming those who cant defend themselves (a very good thing). God says throughout the Bible that we are to defend the weak and restrain evil! Please read the whole word of God and not just a little snippet taken out of context.
Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed. Psalm 82:3
Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow. Isaiah 1:17
Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” (Again, a big difference between angry vengeance and bringing evil men to justice and restraining them from harming others.)
Blessed be the Lord, my rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle; Psalm 144:1
He said to them, “But now let the one who has a moneybag take it, and likewise a knapsack. And let the one who has no sword sell his cloak and buy one. Luke 22:36 (Why would this be symbolic?-no justification to interpret it symbolically)
For he is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God’s wrath on the wrongdoer. Romans 13:4 ESV
“Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.
But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. 1 Timothy 5:8 ESV
And for your lifeblood I will require a reckoning: from every beast I will require it and from man. From his fellow man I will require a reckoning for the life of man. “Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in his own image. Genesis 9:5-6 ESV
Who were building on the wall. Those who carried burdens were loaded in such a way that each labored on the work with one hand and held his weapon with the other. And each of the builders had his sword strapped at his side while he built. The man who sounded the trumpet was beside me. Nehemiah 4:17-18 ESV
Ditto all of that!
My fave is the Halifax Gibbet!
Nope. Sorry, I’m not saying they can’t, but show me in the NT how I am wrong regarding my previous post.
And if you can factual regarding the NT, then you will be doing a great service here because I have yet to see anyone make a case.
OT, not NT
OT I agree 100%.
NT, no.
To those posting to me. Realize I am not trying to be argumentative and I respect Christian opinions. But my original posts stands.
Where in the NT does it explicitly state when to get rough so as to speak. Really rough including against established govt or your “neighbor” so as to speak.
I’m checking out now, going to ignore the worries of the world and watch the Jets vs Sens now.
Take Care and I really hope you and your families stay safe in these ridiculous times.
“Nearly 400 girls may have been sexually exploited in Oxfordshire over a 16-year period, according to a report that has criticised authorities for failing to protect victims.”
If our British cousins had any balls left, they should be dragging these PC Nazis into the streets and hanging them from lampposts. The muslim scum raped your children, you morons. Do something, you cowards.
The Old and New Testament are the same story. The entire Bible tells about how God made a perfect world, man messed it up, and how a God of both justice and mercy planned long ago to pay our penalty with his own blood. The story is not over. For now the world will continue to allow for the redemption of many, but someday the Lord will pour out his wrath on all his enemies. We are hardly done with holy warfare. Not at all.
It is said that the Old Testament is the New Testament concealed, and the New Testament is the Old Testament Revealed.
The Bible teaches that the Messiah prophesied in the Old Testament came first as a suffering servant, to sacrifice himself for our sins and to conquer death. But when He comes again, He comes in power, and he will lead and army of his people. He will come ready for battle, and EVERY knee shall bow.
The God of the New Testament and the God of the Old Testament are one and the same.
Perhaps I understand your point now and I will try to re-state it differently. You are commenting that the faith as presented in the NT does not call for the sort of judgment and actions needed in dealing with the perpetrators in the instance that gave rise to the thread.
My only comment is that it is centered on my individual salvation and not on the ordering of all society. If society is or is not ordered in a manner to deal with the instances of evil cited, my path to salvation remains the same is all I can respond.
If you know of a sex crime against a minor in the US, it is a crime not to report it to the police. I think the police may be at risk of prosecution if they act as madams, abandoning children in their towns to the crimes of child rapists.
Give them all “Filipino Haircuts - Instead of just cutting the hair, you cut their head off at the neck .”
