"Despite being illegal in the UK, female genital mutilation is on the rise with an estimated 66,000 women dealing with the after-effects…." Of course it's on the rise. Clitoridectomies increase with the rise in Muslim immigration.
And still the UK is *ahem* "close" to its first FGM prosecution, 28 years after it was criminalized.
Here in America, the American Academy of Pediatrics proposed a resolution to cope with the increase in the vicious procedure of FGM as more Muslims come to America. They suggested that American doctors be given permission to perform a
ceremonial pinprick or “nick” on girls from these cultures if it would
keep their families from sending them overseas for the full subsequently withdrew after an overwhelming outcry by the counter jihad movement.

Of course, the Daily Mail omits the M world and the fact that it is an Islamic ritual, so as not offend the clit cutters.

When Ali woke, she was in
agony with her legs bound together. Taken back to the Uk two days
later, Ali found that friends and teachers were unwilling to take her
story seriously, leaving her feeling let down and alone.

so now we’re calling them by their “proper” name… muslimas… they aren’t women, they’re muslimas. And you know what? Women raise men, “muslimas” are equally responsible for the shit that happens to them, haven’t you seen how those “muslimas” agree on being humiliated and subjugated by their “muslimos” because that’s what the quran says, and even held their daughters so their “husbands” can kill them.

I heard the labour government used to fund hospitals for FGM when Tony Blair was there so the little Somali girls could go through this surgery. Those hospitals may be close down now thanks to the Conservatives. The leftist supported radical Islam, Sharia Law and female mutilation in that country and the British people tax payer or non tax payers were not that helpful either, they just sit there relax and never say anything, now they complain. It is bit too late in it?

How is prosecution “difficult”? It’s not he said/she said; you have the visceral evidence any doctor could see. Are doctors in England required to report child abuse same as in the US??

Thank you for pointing out the clueless nonchalant attitude of England’s leaders.I did not know this before. I believe they are starting to regret thinking in terms that it is just their culture so we should respect it.
What imbeciles(moral idiocy)…..

Hirsi Van Ali suggested that it be compulsory for a school nurse to inspect little girls for FGM at school I think before or after the school holidays as parents take girls out of the country during the holidays to gave them mutilated overseas. How will this barbaric practice be stopped unless there is the possibility of detection. We will never have prosecutions if there is no detection. As hirsi Ali, a victim of FGM herself, said, she could not have reported her family for mutiliating her,as she loved them, so authorities need to show courage and implement effective detection and deterrence of this practice and have severe penalties

well girl they didn’t love you. or they would not let it happen. if they had it done and know the pain they wouldn’t want another child to go through it. as they say you are lower than an animal and what they do to you is ok. NO IT IS NOT OK IT IS EVIL. AND THE MEN JUST WANT YOU TO SUFFER BOTTOM LINE.
