[ April 18, 2024 ]
Female genital mutilation (FGM) or clitoridectomy is an Islamic tradition, rampant in the Muslim world. Dissemblers and deceivers claim that FGM is cultural phenomenon, not religious. FGM is an Islamic cultural phenomenon. FGM is found only within and adjacent to Muslim communities (source: Gerry Mackie, “Ending Footbinding and Infibulation: A Convention Account”, American Sociological Review, 61(6), December 1996, pp. 1004–1005). This Facebook page by Muslimas proudly supports it.
But to speak out against Islamic FGM is “islamophobic.” The fact is that Muhammad justified it: “A woman used to perform circumcision in Medina. The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said to her: Do not cut severely as that is better for a woman and more desirable for a husband.” (Sunan Abu Dawud 41.5251). And the Muslims on this Facebook page cite his sanction.

There is also justification for the practice in Islamic law:
“Circumcision is obligatory (for every male and female) (by cutting off the piece of skin on the glans of the penis of the male, but circumcision of the female is by cutting out the bazr ‘clitoris’ [this is called khufaadh ‘female circumcision’]).” — ‘Umdat al-Salik e4.3, translated by Mark Durie, The Third Choice, p. 64
“Facebook community page promotes health, sexual benefits of female genital mutilation,” by Lisa Daftari, The Foreign Desk, May 25, 2016:
A Facebook community called “Islamic Female Circumcision” was launched earlier this month with the stated goal of clarifying “misconceptions” around the Muslim faith’s practice of female genital mutilation or FGM.
The page already has more than a dozen posts, including articles and infographics advocating for the practice of what they call “female circumcision,” instead of referring to the practice as ‘mutilation.’
“Our aim is to clear misconceptions of the Islamic practice of female circumcision and counter misinformation against it,” the page states in the ‘About’ section.
[the_ad id=”77189″]
At the center of the page is an article by a Sri Lankan author Asiff Hussein entitled, “Female Circumcision – The Hidden Truth: How Misogynists and Feminists are feeding upon each other to denigrate an Islamic practice that brings untold benefits to women.”
In the piece, Hussein claims that studies that show the benefits of female circumcision have been “conveniently overlooked to conform to Islamophobic sentiments expressed by a largely Jewish controlled media,” who are are critical of the female procedure but not male circumcision “because male circumcision is a Jewish practice and female circumcision is not.”
There are also infographics all bearing a “Muslimahs for circumcision” banner, listing the benefits of the procedure from prevention of urinary tract infections to preventing transmission of a ‘cancer causing HPV virus’ for “partners who engage in oral sex.”
The infographic also states that female circumcision helps women achieve sexual fulfillment and cites the Hadith, an anecdotal reference to the experiences of Prophet Muhammad, in which he told Umm Atiyyah, “for it is beauty for the face and desirable for the husband.”
A meme posted May 15 depicting a Muslim couple in traditional attire says in bold “If you love your spouse..”
It goes on to say, “If you love your wife get yourself circumcised because the germs in your foreskin can reach her vagina during sex and cause her cervical cancer.”
Below that it says, “If you love your husband get yourself circumcised because the germs under your prepuce can reach his mouth when he pleasures your clitoris and cause him oral cancer.”
The meme concludes at bottom, “Yes cervical cancer in women is caused by having sex with uncircumcised men and yes, oral cancer in men is cause by cunnilingus with uncircumcised women.”
Another post contains a link to a downloadable e-book “Safe female circumcision” by an OBGYN based in Sudan.
According to the World Health Organization’s guidelines issued in 2007, FGM has “no known health benefits,” and that the procedure is “harmful to girls and women in many ways.”
In 2008 the WHO issued a global strategy calling on the U.S. and international organizations to “support specific and concrete actions directed towards ending female genital mutilation.”
The WHO estimates that there are over 200 million girls who are victims of FGM, living in over 30 countries mostly in Africa, Asia and the Middle East, defining the practice as “a violation of the human rights of girls and women.”
“Defenders of FGM must be held accountable for perpetuating and supporting what is perhaps one of the worst human rights violations in the world. Community and religious leaders that foster and encourage this practice must be held accountable,” clinical therapist Zainab Zeb Khan told The Foreign Desk.
Khan, who typically works with survivors of domestic violence has worked to end female genital mutilation and honor-based violence. Khan was featured in the documentary “Honor Diaries.”
“If there are no consequences, then women and girls will continue to be violated by FGM, which is often tied to other forms of violence, oppression, and subjugation of women and girls. It not only carries severe physiological repercussions, but a lifetime of emotional, psychological, sexual, and interpersonal relationship impairments. This abhorrent crime has no place in any corner of our world,” Khan said.
In Somalia, an estimated 95% of girls between the ages of 4 and 11 have undergone FGM, according to a UNICEF report.
A recent petition to Somalia’s president urging him and the Somali government to outlaw the practice has garnered over 1.3 million signatures.

Gee I guess the females on the facebook page banner had exactly the same expression on their faces when they were cut.
fakebook owner would have to tie himself into a pretzel to explain why this is great by allowing this page – he must really hate women.

Doesn’t he have a little girl? And a wife? I guess it’s one of those circumstances where it’s okay for Muslims to mutilate and subjugate their women from birth…..but not his? Or is he another self-hating Jew that wants everyone else as miserable as him?
I hate this bastardo….he was involved in the “Arab Spring” with his pal Obama and Killary…..he went over there and set up cell phone towers so the so-called “spontaneous” riots would be able to co-ordinate. Spontaneous my rear end!

What is never said, are all the health issues which develop from the mutilation or from keeping women under gobs of fabric.

Forget the resulting health issues……how dare anyone touch another human being’s body to alter it without their informed consent! The little girls don’t get a say….and anyone who objects gets beheaded, or burned alive, or stoned to death, or tossed off a building….these people are “stone-age” animals!
For centuries they have “de-volved” into a collective of mentally ill sub-humans…. while the rest of most of humanity evolved. .I really believe something went wrong with their DNA centuries ago…
…it’s like most of the deadly diseases were wiped out over time with science, but these people just kept passing around whatever gene makes them in-human…
The Japanese were once like that…..hell bent on wiping us off the face of the earth just like Islam…..the Atomic Bomb not only stopped them, but gave them time to re-group and seriously consider survival versus world domination….they “evolved” into a peaceful, productive society……I think it’s time to give Islam a new focus…..world domination or survival?

islam came out of the desire for total control and world domination. What better way to “justify” murder, rape, cruelty, subjugation and enslavement. Those who crave power and total control will gravitate towards anything which accomplishes that goal.

What is with islam? If they aren’t killing each other, they are mutilating some one. Do they have such contempt for the creator that they must desecrate, mutilate and destroy his every work? islam hates everything including the work of heaven.

They cut of the clitoris so the woman can never enjoy sex….they are just like cattle and other farm animals….they use them only to clean, cook, and propagate their offspring…..they aren’t suppose to enjoy anything.
The women only serve the men’s purpose….and the men’s purpose is to die for Allah and Mohammed by killing and wiping off infidels from the face of the earth…..
Cave man was more sophisticated than today’s Muslim man. They have sub-human DNA….

HI, thanks for the good wishes, if I would have realized I was going to live this long, I would have care of myself. Hope you are doing great. The problem with mutilations is that it serves no purpose other than to force the victim into a subservient role, and empower the oppressor even more. Female mutilation is a crime before heaven and earth, those who do or encourage it, are deservedly cursed.

No wonder muslim men prefer goats, they are intact and responsive, mutilated girls are merely bags to deposit fluids in. Just lay there and get your ration thereof. Boring.

Not just little girls…..boys are molested as much or more than the girls….recall the story of the Army Sgt. who was brought up on charges and almost courtmartialed because he struck a Muslim who kept a young boy tied to his bed so he could repeatedly rape him….
A couple of years back a Boston hospital fired a Islamic doctor because he was doing clitorectomies ….but now there are so many of these sub-humans in America that they have their own “clinics” and are doing this to little girls all over America in closed communities…I would not doubt that these “operations” go on in the back room of Mosques….

The is no lack of laws about these crimes, but there is little of no enforcement. It appears that the individuals right to use there choice of public toilet is of more concern to legislators, than human rights and dignity, not to mention child abuse.

A young Egyptian girl enduring female genital mutilation
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVZXgXLBTLw
The barber that does this deserves complete removal of his appendage. His casual disregard for this young girl’s dignity, modesty and health is disgusting.
They worry about promiscuity – how about not jumping to conclusions? They deserve hellfire.

I learned about FGM in an African Studies class in college but it was never mentioned that this was an ISLAMIC practice. Makes sense now why it’s common in Somalia and Egypt, and growing with Muslim refugees in other parts of the world.

In many cases, they sew the victims vagina closed leaving just a tiny opening to urinate through. How does that help anyone? I did a paper on this topic in college and when you see what is actually done to these girls, it horrible, inhumane, and outright torture. Just look at the pictures, they are around in medical books and journals.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali described her FGM in her first book – it was horrifying. She also referred to her FGM as a source of difficulty in having intercourse with her first husband. The scarring was terrible.

It would be good if the real reasons for female circumcision were given.
ie (1) To stop girls from getting pregnant before they were married off.
(2) To stop girls masturbating
Only by acknowledging these facts can reasons be given for not conducting FGM

I believe that the main reason was to take the joy out of having sex for women. The men–they enjoy their goats-sheep and sadly little boys. There is no more sick group than Muslim males.

Notice the use of classic propaganda methodology used in selling this barbaric drivel, “You owe it to yourself” and “Everybody is doing it”. If you see someone jump off a tall building do you feel motivated to do the same?

Many of these procedures are done by relatives or even butchers. The girls have no say in it, and it is done without any kind of anesthesia.

This revolting practice is done to women for one reason only. She will no longer receive sexual gratification, nor will she seek it. Muslim men prefer little boys or goats. If they have to contend with women who desire sex, they konk out. If they haven’t got access to little boys or goats, they will rape a woman who isn’t totally covered up by a tent. But they will torture her because they really can’t abide having sex with women.

Exposing the clitoris…seems good to me. More stimulation for he women? Uhm I’d say that’s a good thing.
