Stopped by Fear of Being called Racist

By | November 22, 2025

[November 22, 2025]  In a recent PowerLineBlog post by John Hinderaker, I became aware of the preventable torture and murder of 10-year old Sara Sharif.  In Britain, this case became public because of failures by government agency employees.  These employees were stopped from doing their job by their own fear of being called a racist, ultimately leading to this girl’s murder.

“Sara Sharif was murdered by her father and stepmother after a professional who may have “feared causing offence” failed to question why she was wearing a hijab that hid her injuries, a damning review has found.” — The Times (UK) November 13, 2025

The failures by the county council, a family court judge, and Sara’s school, all led to Sara being handed over to her father; a Pakistani native.  Her father has a long history of violence (including many Pakistani men in the UK), including arrests for assaults on women and his own children.  Being a Middle Eastern native, everyone was reluctant to say anything, anything that would have brought suspicion upon a known violent criminal.

“Neighbours also told the review that they had been reluctant to report concerns because they “feared being branded as being racist, especially on social media”. The report said: “While understanding their point of view, this is concerning that race was a bar to reporting possible child abuse and it needs to be overcome.”

As Hinderaker writes, “The facts of the crime are appalling.”  I will add that Britain is known to arrest people who make social media posts, saying that this sort of thing should not be happening.  Maybe the UK police should stop making arrests of those who tell the truth.  The UK government is teaching cowardice and that speaking out against crime is not tolerated.

An earlier report notes:

“Sara had suffered 71 injuries, including 25 broken bones, iron burns on her bottom, scalding marks to her feet and human bite marks.’” — irwinmitchell July 21, 2025

Hinderaker reports that the Pakistani father and stepmother hid in Pakistan for a time, before returning to Britain where they were arrested, tried, and convicted of murder.

In prison, Sara’s father was attacked by fellow inmates only a few weeks after being imprisoned.

“He was lucky to survive, has had to have stitches and will have scars as a permanent reminder of the attack.” – The Times (UK), January 2, 2025

The first comment on this article in PowerLineBlog.com is good:

“Your country is in a pretty sad shape when your convicted felons have a better sense of justice than your judiciary does.”

Nuff said.

    This is so sad, and it made me angry. What is wrong with the Pakistani men? And what’s up with a culture that allows, or encourages first cousin marriages. I heard somewhere that the average IQ of a Pakistani is somewhere around 65 (maybe 70). While the average American has an IQ of 100. 65 or 70 is in the retard range. No wonder they have so many problems there. Plus, they have the Islamic religion that gives them the answers to life, which is to do as little in their community as possible.

      Paulette, so true! I just cannot imagine why any country would take in any members of this society because all they are going to get is trouble, primarily violence, as evidenced by this incident. Just ask the Swedes how that is working out for them.

    Islam is THE problem by Gen. Satterfield.
    “ [January 3, 2025] There is a gathering storm over the world. Many scholars within today’s Islamic community are admitting their religion of Islam is the problem that spurs terror across the West. They are correct and things are getting worse.”

    Let’s not pretend that introducing a backward culture into some of the most modern and advanced nations in the world is not working. Rape, murder, torture, and violence of all kinds is just a feature of Islam. It is a cancer upon the world, much like Communism (which there is a love feast between them). Stop Islam.

      Bernie, exactly and spot-on comment about Islam being the problem. But But But …. It’s “racist” to talk about. We, the common folks, have discovered the problem and our government sits back and only encourages the problem to continue. Throw the bums out. 🤡. Clowns to the left and clowns to the right.

        LOL, you got that right Bernie and Unwoke Dude. Thanks. My problem is that our political class has become too comfortable. Mostly it’s the Democrat Party in America that allows all this to happen because they want power (the votes of Muslims) and so they embrace the Devil to their hearts. And, we know what that leads to.

          Yeah, see today’s article (23 Nov) about the recent political ad telling our troops to “not disobey illegal orders,” with the implication taht President Trump is issuing illegal orders. Sedition? Gen. Satterfield doesn’t think so but says the Dems are violating basic American political principles taht we don’t use our military in political squabbles. Is Gen. Satterfield right? I think yes but I still would like to put a scare into our politicians are lose with their words and are quick to spit out the latest pseudo-Marxist fad talking points.

    The UK is lost. Their culture is being overrun by third-world, lowlifes who would introduce the pedophile Koran and Muslim ‘religion.’ Too bad their government is full of cowards.
