#MyJihad is Women’s Rights: Indonesia’s Largest Muslim Organization Says Female Genital Mutilation Is A “Human Right”

11

The horror of this bloody, painful procedure to remove the ability of
a Muslim girl to experience any sexual pleasure is not just a problem in Indonesia, where it has just been given sanction by the nation’s largest Muslim organization; it is on the rise in the
West as Muslim immigration increases. Cutting the clitoris of a woman
is an Islamic precept that removes the ability to experience sexual
pleasure (thereby making a woman less apt to cheat, or enjoy life, for
that matter). There is absolutely no health benefit. It is a
misogyny. And don’t think it doesn’t affect American society. Just last
year the American Academy of Pediatrics issued a policy statement recommending that doctors perform this “ritual nick” (we exposed it on the net and it was withdrawn after the ensuing public outcry). Many Muslims in America support clitoridectomies and
justify them as religious freedom. In one state in which anti-FGM
legislation is currently working its way through the legislative
process, one legislator reports receiving a phone call from a Muslim
constituent urging her to oppose the legislation as ‘a conspiracy
against the Muslim community’” (more here)

 Indonesia’s largest Muslim organization: female genital mutilation a “human right” Jihadwatch

Western news articles about female genital mutilation
routinely assert that it is solely a cultural practice, not justified by
any religion. Yet again and again we see Muslim clerics — such as Kiai
Hajj Amin Ma’ruf, who is not an “extremist” but the head of Indonesia’s
largest Muslim organization, justifying it, and it is sanctioned 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

“Islamic law permits by definition, by prophetic statement and by practice female circumcision” — Australian Imam Afroz Ali

Sharia Alert from modern, moderate Indonesia: “Indonesian Ulema in
favour of female circumcision: a ‘human right,'” by Mathias Hariyadi for
Asia News, January 24 (thanks to C. Cantoni):

Jakarta (AsiaNews) – The Indonesian Council of Ulema (MUI)
is in favour of female circumcision (and men) that, although it can not
be considered mandatory, it is still “morally recommended.” This is
shown by the words of the leader of the largest Islamic organization in
the most populous Muslim country in the world. He warns, however, to
avoid “excesses”, coming to the removal or cutting of the clitoris. In
the meantime, has come under investigation and will be prosecuted by a
court “ethical” the judge who, in recent days, he “joked” about sexual
violence to women, causing a veritable wave of outrage (see AsiaNews
15/01 / 2013 Ordinary Indonesians against judges and politicians who “justify” sexual violence).

The reference point for Islamic issues (such as the legality of a
food and a drink), a “consultor” to the government in matters of faith,
the body responsible for issuing fatwas – the answers on Muslim
questions of faith and morals – the MUI has taken a position on female
circumcision. And by the mouth of his head, Kiai Hajj Amin Ma’ruf,
pointed out that it is an “advisable practise on moral grounds”, at the
same time, he rejects any attempt to declare this practice illegal or
contrary to the principles. It comes under the sphere of “human rights,”
said the Islamist leader, and is “guaranteed by the Constitution.”

“Female circumcision – said Amin – is commonly practiced by cutting
out parts that cover the clitoris” and, at the same time, he invites
believers to refrain from “excessive circumcision” that ends up becoming
a real mutilation genital. He recalled that the Mui can not make this
practice “mandatory”, but “strongly rejects” the possible cancellation
of this “tradition” which is performed in a “ritualistic ceremony” and
also applies to men….

How can any so-called religion, condone forced child Female Genital Mutilation, which goes beyond words or belief. This act proves without any doubt, that Islam is as evil as Muhammad, it’s lone and insane founder…PERIOD

Now we know that Hillary spent countless hours of her valuable time, running across the globe on Airforce one, millions of miles, to MAKE IT A CRIME to punish females in this manner. I distinctly remember yesterday when she bragged about fighting for the rights of woman as one of her tireless battles.

That picture is a devastating tragedy beyond expression.
Why doesn’t CNN or the NYT show us images like this?
Of course, because it’s not fit to print.
God help us all.

If it’s a human right, then is is for the individual to choose. The UN should ban it until a girl is at the very minimum 18 years of age. And even then, must be interviewed on her own and in privacy by an official outside the country and a non-Muslim to ensure she is not under ANY duress to have it done.

As if we needed more savagery.
IranHR reported:
Iranian authorities’ campaign of conducting public, medieval punishments continues. A state-run Iranian news agency reported that the amputation sentence of a prisoner was carried out in public today in the city of Shiraz (southern Iran).
According to the report, the prisoner was a 29-year-old man, identified as “A. S. H.” He was sentenced to amputation of four fingers on the right hand and three years in prison and 99 lashes for engaging in an “immoral relationship”.

As the effects of this filthy and obscene practice affects the WHOLE of society sooner or later, it’s serious long lasting damage must be recognsed by a sentance of capital punishment for those responsible.
Is it any wonder muslim mothers turn out to be so cruel.

The reason islamists brutalize women is because, on a subconscious level, they are deathly afraid of them. The most popular TV channels and websites in Muslim countries are porn.

The Muslim culture does everything it can to destroy and hobble women. The Muslim unculture attacks everything that is distinctly feminine about the gender with radical surgery for no reason than to diminish her sexually.
And having mutilated her body the Muslim Unculture dominated and legislated by men do all they can to brainwash her and leave her in despair and fear.

Only a warped mind could possibly think that doing such a cruel and heinous act as F.C. was a “humman right.” This only exopses just how wicked Islam is that it can warp a human mind into believing F.C. is a good thing and a ‘Human right.” Furthermore, this sich way of thinking iand believing is also exposed in the book THE POLITICALLY INCORRECT GUIDE TO ISLAM by Robert Spencer. For on pages 76,77 it reads “An Islamic legal manual states that circumcisionis required ‘for both men and women.’ To Sheikh Muhammad Sayyed Tantawi, the grand sheik of al-Azhar female circumcism is ‘a landable practice that [does] honor to women.’ As the grand imam of al-Azhar stated this this is ‘the higist spirirual authority for nealy a billion Sunni Muslims.'”
Such is the sick,cruel and warped mindset that Islam produces.

I understand it is happening in all Free World countries but not by free people. Laws may be made but who is to say who follows the law. Penalties must be made severe. I cannot tell you how this disgusts me. Amputations and lashings make me sick to my stomach. What is the matter with these people? Anyone who believes in this sickness must be asked these question when trying to immigrate here, but then, we know it is OK to lie. I wish I had never heard any of this or of these medieval torturing fascist scum, but then I realize that they do live among us and it is up to us to deal with them and get them out. Easier said than done.

Unfortunately while scrolling up, I saw the fear in that dear little girl’s face, trusting those vile, despicable women who were about inflict such pain and unhygenic torture with their archaic tools on her poor wee privates. Those women were probably her relatives that she trusted. Some other poster here said that’s why muslim women are so cruel, no doubt that is why they can watch their daughters be butchered by their brothers and fathers in an honour crime. I am so heartsick and filled with disgust of this sick, insane culture being foisted on our decent free cultures. Where, oh where is the way to stop all immigration of people who believe in this. Why can’t we say clearly and loudly that this is despicable, illegal behaviour and will not be tolerated. Why? Are the PC forces aligned against Common Sense and Our Tradition of Freedom that strong? Are we not stronger?
