[ April 26, 2024 ]
A West African father who forced his daughter to undergo genital mutilation as punishment was let go by U.K. courts, the latest in a long line of cases against the horrific practice that have resulted in failures for the prosecution.
In fact, in the past 33 years, there have been zero FGM cases that have been successfully prosecuted.
This is a horrific statistic; the practice is both brutal and medically unnecessary.

In this latest, the father, age 50, was alleged to have twice recruited sometone to cut his daughter with a razor blade at their home in London between the years of 2010 and 2013.
Breitbart has more:
The latest attempt to secure the UK’s first prosecution for female genital mutilation (FGM) has failed, with a West African father cleared of using the practice to “punish” his young daughter.
The prosecution was only the second brought under FGM legislation since it was introduced 33 years ago, in 1985. Not a single person has been found guilty of the crime in Britain, despite thousands of cases logged annually, and hundreds of successful prosecutions in France.
The man, 50, was alleged during a nine-day trial to have twice recruited someone to cut the girl with a razor blade at their home in south London between 2010 and 2013. The identity of the cutter had been forgotten, but the prosecution said the father had overseen and “egg[ed] on” the abuse.
The defendant, however, who cannot be named for legal reasons, said the crimes were fabricated after an acrimonious divorce and claimed his wife had threatened to destroy his life and had turned the children against him.
Kate Bex QC, for the defence, said FGM was “predominantly perpetrated by female cutters on women” for the purposes of “purification, honour and social acceptance”, the Press Association reports.
The children had been “susceptible to their mother’s influence” after the divorce and “at the expense of their relationship with their father” she had “rewritten their history”, it was claimed.
The defendant insisted he loved his children, adding: “I have never used any implement on any of my children. I have never used my hand to hit them.”
Leethen Bartholomew, head of the National FGM Centre, commented: “While we respect the decision of the jury, it is important to remember that someone did carry out female genital mutilation on the victim almost a decade ago.
“The effects of FGM have a lifelong impact on survivors, both physically and psychologically, so it is vital [that] support is in place for her for as long as she needs it.”
Last year, more than 5,000 new cases of FGM were recorded in the UK, and around 9,000 women sought National Health Service (NHS) help because of the practice.
The figure means there are around 14 new cases every day, and a third of the women and girls seeking help were born in Somalia, according to the NHS numbers.

Britain, along with the rest of Europe, confused common sense and compassion. Or, they think taking in a bunch of third world foreigners is chic. Who would have ever thought that Europe would go down without a shot fired? Amazing.

Why? We don’t want the place. We expended vast sums in blood and treasure to rescue those mopes twice in the last 100 years. NEVER AGAIN.
They invited those people into their country. They are reaping what they have sown. It’s their circus. Their monkeys.
The superior culture is driving out and subjugating the inferior culture. Fight, submit, die, or flee. When their country implodes, we must absolutely seal our borders against European refugees. Let them stay home and fight or die. Euronate on them. We don’t want their disease here. We have enough of their kind already.

Churchill put the British army into Greece in 1944 to forestall a communist takeover.

What did we gain from WWI and WWII? We lost hundreds of thousands killed and won a Europe that is selling itself to the mossies. Of course, we might have fought WW-II against the Russians if we stayed out.. I know my history well enough to know the value of WWI and WWII to the world was minimal. In that context, Greece 44 is irrelevant.
“They” are the people of Europe, and in this case Britain. That is plain English composition that a fourth grader should have understood.

It’s a purely mohammedan evil practice. It has NOTHING to do with “culture”. It has to do with ALL moslems. And, there is but one reason, as mohammed stated in five hadiths …. The size of an average woman’s clitoris is five to eight times larger than a moslem male’s member. That could be one of the reasons that ALL moslem males are homosexuals.

No-one cares about such mutilation of young girls, just like they don’t care about the mass rapes at an industrial scale in our major cities. Where are all of the fiministas of the womens’ movement from Womens’ Day? Protesting? No!! Yet another silent majority.

Why have laws against this barbaric practice if they aren’t going to enforce them?

The reason for this latest failure to bring a conviction in a FGM case in Britain is of course the “nuance” because it’s the “nuance” of these matters which clearly hide and invalidate the genital trauma suffered by those children during such butchery.
The “nuance” comes in very handy when senior police officers have to explain this position, and of course the head of the Crown Prosecution Service {who looks like a dyke posturing as a female} Allison somebody is never seen.
What matters to the political class in Britain is that every effort to make these ignorant savages feel “at home” by making OUR first world home more like the one they abandoned to get to Britain is made.
This of course includes ignoring these crimes against children {this time black or brown} to aid “integration” through displays of “cultural sensitivity” and “tolerance”.
These butchered black children are much like the gang raped white children, parts of the “small dust of history” in the great project of destroying an entire country and it’s culture/identity by unwanted mass immigration from the most backward countries on earth..

If the perps – FGM or Gang Rape – were “White” British – would they get away with it?
The answer also tells you how many of the cases out there are/were committed by “White” British.
And whose country it really is.
It will end when “White” British decide they will no longer support any more Leftist causes.

People are quick to criticise the French, but unlike Britain (and the US and Canada) they are not afraid to stand up to their Muslim population; hundreds of successful FGM prosecutions, dozens of mosques raided and closed, and a burqa ban. The reason they have had so many terrorist attacks is that the maniacs have a special hatred of them, calling them the “filthy French”, because they do not allow Muslims to do, say, dress and behave as they please. For all their tough talking, Britain, the US and Canada DO allow them, out of political correctness and the fantasy of multiculturalism. The day there will be progress is when we read in British, US or Canadian newspapers of FGM prosecutions, mosque raids and closures and burqa bans.
But of course the average Briton, American and Canadian knows the score, is made of sterner stuff, and wants all these things, but their politicians and lawmakers are reluctant – or afraid – to bring them in.
