Professor Of Islamic Civilization Says ‘Get Over It’ To Concerns About Rape Gang Crisis

A Georgetown University professor is under fire for telling people who share concerns about Muslim “rape gangs” to “get over it.”

Professor Jonathan A. C. Brown, chair of Islamic Civilization at Georgetown, posted the dismissive remark twice on X in response to users discussing a link between Islam and an escalating crisis of rape gangs in the United Kingdom, archived versions of the now-deleted posts show. (RELATED: ‘Catholic’ University’s Heretical Queer Profs Are Teaching Porn Classes And More)

One post by Independent Member of Parliament Rupert Lowe reads: “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 responded to Lowe’s post with “get over it.” When another user said Brown’s comment was “absurdly evil,” the professor repeated the cold remark, writing “Get over it” a second time.

Brown has since made his account private, and the comments have been deleted.

A Georgetown student who spoke to the Daily Caller News Foundation called on the professor to be removed from the university, saying Brown is “fundamentally at odds with Georgetown’s core values.”

“Professor Jonathan Brown’s recent remarks continue a troubling pattern of reckless, incendiary, and dangerous statements that he has made without remorse,” Shae McInnis, president of Georgetown’s College Republicans chapter, told the DCNF. “Just last June, he stated that Iran should bomb U.S. military bases, and now he suggests that people should get over rape gangs. Comments like these reflect a worldview fundamentally at odds with Georgetown’s core values and are a disgrace to our academic community. The university should take decisive action and remove him from his position.”

The DCNF reported on Brown’s comments in June, when he called for Iran to do a “symbolic strike” on the U.S. in retaliation after President Donald Trump announced attacks on Iran’s nuclear sites.

“I’m not an expert, but I assume Iran could still get a bomb easily,” Brown said on social media at the time. “I hope Iran does some symbolic strike on a base, then everyone stops. I’m surprised this is what these FDD/Hasbara people have been auto-erotically asphyxiating themselves for all these years.”

Brown’s justification of rape and other horrific events in the name of Islam date back even further. In 2017, the Daily Caller reported on Brown openly supporting Islamic supremacism and defending slavery and rape.

Georgetown did not respond to the DCNF’s request for comment.
