“It is an important rule of the Dawoodi Bohras that we respect the laws of the land, wherever we live.”

Nonsense. There is no way the mosque didn’t know that Nagarwala was performing FGM. This mosque and other Dawoodi Bohra mosques need to be investigated, and if found to be encouraging FGM or any other practice that violates American law, shut down.

“2nd doctor, wife arrested in genital mutilation case,” by Robert Snell, Detroit News, April 21, 2017:

Federal agents arrested a second doctor and his wife Friday in a widening conspiracy involving female genital mutilation and members of a Muslim sect.

Dr. Fakhruddin Attar is accused of letting Dr. Jumana Nagarwala perform mutilations at his Burhani Medical Clinic on Farmington Road. His wife, office manager Farida Attar, also was arrested and is accused of helping Nagarwala perform the mutilations, according to a 14-page complaint unsealed Friday in federal court.

The arrests are the latest development in the nation’s first female genital mutilation case, which is providing insight into a small, insular Muslim community in Metro Detroit and an illegal procedure performed on young girls.

The complaint solves a mystery stemming from the case by pinpointing where Nagarwala allegedly mutilated two 7-year-old girls from Minnesota earlier this year. The complaint also describes a conspiracy involving at least Nagarwala, Attar and his wife — all three are members of the Dawoodi Bohra religious community based locally out of a Farmington Hills mosque….

Nagarwala, meanwhile, was charged in federal court April 12 and is being held without bond on charges that could send her to federal prison for life.

According to court records and testimony, Nagarwala is a member of the Dawoodi Bohra, a small Muslim sect from India that was linked to a mutilation scandal in Australia two years ago.

Sect members locally belong to the Anjuman-e-Najmi mosque on Orchard Lake Road in Farmington Hills. It’s the only Dawoodi Bohra mosque in Michigan.

The Dawoodi Bohras hail mostly from western India and were traditionally comprised of businessmen, entrepreneurs and professionals. There are about 1 million followers worldwide.

Two years ago, three Dawoodi Bohras faced trial in Australia in a case that raised awareness of female genital mutilation. The case ended in prison sentences for the three, including a Dawoodi Bohra community leader.

Leaders of the Farmington Hills mosque released a statement Friday saying they are offering assistance to investigators.

“Any violation of U.S. law is counter to instructions to our community members,” the statement said. “It does not reflect the everyday lives of the Dawoodi Bohras in America.

“It is an important rule of the Dawoodi Bohras that we respect the laws of the land, wherever we live,” the statement continued. “This is precisely what we have done for several generations in America. We remind our members regularly of their obligations.”

Illegal since 1996

Nagarwala’s husband, Moiz Nagarwala, is listed as a leader of the Farmington Hills mosque, according to the mosque’s password-protected website, and records list him as having served as joint treasurer.

Attar has served as treasurer and a leader of the Farmington Hills mosque, according to the Anjuman-e-Najmi website.

Prosecutors said some members of the religious and cultural community practice female genital mutilation on young girls.

Some members of the community who have spoken against the practice said the surgery is performed to suppress female sexuality, reduce sexual pleasure and curb promiscuity, according to the criminal complaint….

The mosque is located on orchard lake between 8 mile and grand river, on the west side of the road. Why are there not people, especially feminist, protesting out in front of the mosque?

Every muslim is a liar, islam is all lies. Start with that premise and it will be easy to figure out what is going on.

“Taqiyya”….Lying for the glory of Allah…the advancement of the Islam…your considered above others to Allah coz you are active in doing his work. http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/pages/quran/taqiyya.aspx

WHILE A MUSLIM DOES JIHAD, ANOTHER MUSLIM COMES AND TELLS YOU, “OH, THAT JIHAD MUSLIM? HE IS NOT ISLAM. With one hand on the Quran, they will even lie to you about this and the meaning and then lie about what they lied about…ANYTHING for the advancement of Islam. obama used Taqiyya all the time. ” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zremjF997vc

“The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets and the faithful our soldiers”. Islam in a nutshell. Jihad to take over the whole world and force Sharia Law upon everybody. The sooner people wake up to the fact that Islam is not a Religion but in fact a total life system with a Religious component and Sharia Law Totalitarian government that can never Integrate into any Western Society. Islam always causes conflict as shown since the 7th Century. It is their way or the highway.
