[ April 18, 2024 ]
Recently Ivan Balhatchet, the British National Police Chiefs’ Council’s lead on honour violence, was asked by a former police officer why there had not yet been a single conviction for female genital mutilation (FGM) in the entire United Kingdom, despite there having been tens of thousands of cases of it recorded since 1985. Balhatchet’s response unwittingly revealed the priorities of Theresa May’s “diverse,” shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain.
Amid a great deal of meaningless bureaucratic verbiage, Balhatchet let it slip by way of explanation that “there are many nuances to this crime type.” So apparently it is because of these “many nuances” that practitioners of female genital mutilation could continue to operate with impunity in Britain. Why not arrest them? It’s complicated.
In reality, it isn’t complicated at all, and there aren’t “many nuances,” either. No, Balhatchet, there is only one “nuance,” and you and I and Theresa May and all of Britain knows what that one nuance is: the people who practice female genital mutilation are Muslims, and you don’t want to offend them, and so you don’t prosecute FGM cases. It really isn’t any more “nuanced” than that, although you will batter your interlocutors with all manner of bafflegab to try to cover up that fact.
Story continues below advertisement
Ivan Balhatchet and the UK press will never admit it, but FGM is an Islamic practice, sanctioned by Islamic law and practiced by non-Muslims only in areas where there is a heavy Muslim presence. A manual of Islamic states: “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)
And it is widespread in 30 Muslim countries. So when Ivan Balhatchet says that he hasn’t prosecuted thousands of cases of FGM because of nuance, he means “In Britain today, the Muslims are in charge.” This is not the first time that Balhatchet has revealed this, either: he showed it in November regarding honor killing, when he likewise excused the low number of prosecutions of this crime: “‘Honour’ based abuse is a complex crime which often happens within community or family networks that many victims find it very difficult to speak out against and can face further threats, violence or isolation if they do. In all cases our priority is to safeguard vulnerable victims from this appalling form of abuse so we work to put protection orders in place as soon as possible even where a conviction is not possible.”
He can put protection orders in place, but not get a conviction? How does that make sense? Whom are these women being protected from, and why?
Here again, Balhatchet is really dragging his feet because the crime in question is inextricably bound up with Islam. Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. The Palestinian Authority gives pardons or suspended sentences for honor murders. Iraqi women have asked for tougher sentences for Islamic honor murderers, who get off lightly now. Syria in 2009 scrapped a law limiting the length of sentences for honor killings, but “the new law says a man can still benefit from extenuating circumstances in crimes of passion or honour ‘provided he serves a prison term of no less than two years in the case of killing.’” And in 2003 the Jordanian Parliament voted down on Islamic grounds a provision designed to stiffen penalties for honor killings. Al-Jazeera reported that “Islamists and conservatives said the laws violated religious traditions and would destroy families and values.”
As Ivan Balhatchet wrestles in vain with all this “nuance” and “complexity,” tens of thousands of girls and women in the United Kingdom are murdered or condemned to lives of misery and pain. But that is the price of having a “multicultural” and “diverse” society these days, and so this witless functionary is likely still to be puzzling about all the dizzying intricacies of prosecuting crimes such as FGM and honor killing at the very moment when, in the new Sharia UK, they are decriminalized altogether.

In April of 2017 a Michigan physician, Dr. Jumana Nagarwala, was arrested
for performing FGM on two seven-year-old girls. His defense maintained that
FGM, as an Islamic religious practice, is protected under the First Amendment.
Fortunately, the courts decided otherwise.

Maine Democrats just shot down a bill to make Islamic FGM illegal in Maine… Islamic Female Genital Mutilation also can include removal.

I don’t know about that… Jeff Sessions was going after that. It is ILLEGAL here.
Nagarwala is among eight people charged in a case alleging a 12-year conspiracy that involved cutting prepubescent girls as part of a procedure practiced by some members of a small Muslim sect from India, the Dawoodi Bohra. Locally, most members of the sect belong to the Anjuman-e-Najmi mosque in Farmington Hills.
Prosecutors estimate up to 100 girls were cut during the 12-year conspiracy. So far, the indictment references six victims.
Nagarwala has been jailed since April after prosecutors say two 7-year-old girls from Minnesota were cut at the Burhani Medical Clinic in Livonia.
The procedures happened even though the FBI had installed a hidden camera outside the clinic before the girls arrived. There is no indication in court records that investigators were watching the surveillance footage in real time, were aware of its significance initially or knew about the alleged surgeries beforehand.
Authorities also allege four girls from Michigan ages 8-12 were cut.
The procedure the government says was performed on the girls by Nagarwala was benign and not female genital mutilation, defense lawyers argue. Some defense lawyers have accused the government of overreaching.
Some members of the Dawoodi Bohra community told prosecutors that genital mutilation is performed to suppress female sexuality, reduce sexual pleasure and curb promiscuity, according to court records. The procedure has no health benefits, according to the World Health Organization.
Nagarwala was freed two weeks ahead of a court hearing during which her lawyers will try to convince U.S. District Judge Bernard Friedman to dismiss the most severe charge, a sex count punishable by up to life in federal prison.

Lots of Jews won’t admit their practice–circumcision– is crazy either, make up all kinds of ways to rationalise it, leaving the rest of us believing they are daft. Jewish women definitely have a more controlled status vs men than in the society-at-large too. A transposed middle eastern hangup?The difference, of course, is the degree–the Muslim barbarism and misogyny is exponentially greater-but the Jewish don’t have any real logical excuse.

It’s not just Jews. Circumcision was common practice, in the fifties, sixties, etc. I come from a small rural community, in Iowa. There was only one Jewish boy in the entire school system. I was on the wrestling team … and we had mandatory PE, twice a week. Never saw dick that wasn’t snipped.

No doubt it was a barbarous fad for awhile some places–only Jewish doctors would support it now. Weirdly mandatory with Jewish. Lends credibility to that crazy NY politician who has culled criticism suggesting that Muslim girls should just be given a small nick. Seems likely Muslims could use the barbaric Jewish custom as a defence for FGM in a legal argument. I sometimes wonder, with all of its implicit racism weighing down its intellectual achievements, cultural Judaism isn’t obsolescent.

It was common practice, all over the United States of America. I don’t believe that it is standard practice, any more …They didn’t slice and dice my son …. He did inquire to his mother, at a very young age, why there was a difference. She told me that she didn’t know what to say … and that I needed to have a talk with him …. I never had that talk and he never made any inquiry, directly to me. End of story.

Yes– the procedure nowadays is regarded as spurious– unscientific or Jewish. The point is it’s mandated by Jewish custom–MGM (male genital mutilation) and, since it’s still tolerated, could bolster FGM. A paradox for Jews including maybe our leader.

The only fool here is you:
Circumcision might have various health benefits, including:
Easier hygiene. Circumcision makes it simpler
to wash the penis. Washing beneath the foreskin of an uncircumcised
penis is generally easy, however.
Decreased risk of urinary tract infections. The
overall risk of urinary tract infections in males is low, but these
infections are more common in uncircumcised males. Severe infections
early in life can lead to kidney problems later on.
Decreased risk of sexually transmitted infections.
Circumcised men might have a lower risk of certain sexually transmitted
infections, including HIV. Still, safe sexual practices remain
essential.
Prevention of penile problems. Occasionally,
the foreskin on an uncircumcised penis can be difficult or impossible to
retract (phimosis). This can lead to inflammation of the foreskin or
head of the penis.
Decreased risk of penile cancer. Although
cancer of the penis is rare, it’s less common in circumcised men. In
addition, cervical cancer is less common in the female sexual partners
of circumcised men.

Zionist have been at the centre of promoting the migrant crisis in Europe. It’s all being conducted to fulfil the aims of the EU’s Coudenhove-Kalergi plan (which has now been adopted by the UN to be applied on a wider global scale) for the destruction of Europe’s nation states, Christian culture, and indigenous white race through enforced miscegenation. The plan states that the Jews shall become the ruling elite of the continent over a mongrelised, dumbed-down, coffee-coloured populace.

Stuff that ‘God’s chosen people’ baloney. That’s to suggest Jews are the Master Race. If you support Israel, you support the Rothschilds, because they financed its establishment and they own it. More people than ever here in England and elsewhere are coming to the conclusion that Hitler was onto something with his Rothschild-free economy before he cracked up, and that the so-called ‘holocaust’ is a Zionist fabrication based on Soviet lies, aimed at giving Jews a free pass. One thing’s for sure, in that if Germany had been victorious, we wouldn’t be having Cultural Marxism and the Coudenhove-Kalergi plan forced upon us, which is at the root of the current migrant problem in Europe, and which aims to inflict a genocide on its indigenous white race.

Enjoy your life as a member of the brainwashed sheeple who have dutifully learned how to worship Zionist Jews whilst ignoring their part in promoting the Coudenhove-Kalergi plan. Hardly surprising really, considering they control the US mainstream media as well as the White House, Senate and Congress (not forgetting that old fraud, John Hagee), and have done so ever since they overthrew JFK and replaced him with a long series of puppets.

There is nothing nuanced about slicing up a little girls genitals. Under any other circumstance it would be labeled torture, and the torturers reviled for their barbarism. Cloaking it in religion and culture does nothing to reduce its grotesqueness.

No surprise here. We in the UK have a Prime Minister and Home Secretary who are both fake Conservatives that have been guilty of promoting and enforcing Cultural Marxism, much like the rest of Western Europe. They even approved of employing Cressida Dick, a lesbian LGBT advocate and graduate of Common Purpose (a subversive organisation with charitable status that promotes Cultural Marxism, as well as being sufficiently well-connected in high places for advancing the careers of its graduates) to the position of top cop, ie. Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police in London.
Neither Theresa May, Amber Rudd (Home Secretary) nor Cressida Dick would even wish to criticise Islam, but instead constantly defend and promote it as a ‘Religion of peace’ whilst at the same time appeasing Muslims to the point of letting them effectively rule our prisons and use them as recruitment centres.
