Twitter promotes Islamic vaginal mutilation (FGM) while banning conservatives: ‘My daughters were circumcised, they’re growing up perfectly’

While Twitter censors, scrubs and bans conservatives and conservative views, the most brutal and extreme ideology on the face of the earth is promoted, advanced and above all, respected.

‘My daughters were circumcised, they’re growing up perfectly’: Twitter is hit by furious backlash after Muslim group’s video promoting sickening FGM practice is seen 30,000 times

  • Muslim group called Dawoodi Bohra Women for Religious Freedom posted tweet
  • Video featured woman justifying ‘khafz’ – or female circumcision – on young girls
  • But group paid for ‘promoted’ tweet so it showed up for users who didn’t follow it
  • Twitter said the promoted tweet had been ‘removed for violation of our policies’

By Mark Duell for MailOnline, 20 September 2018:

Twitter has faced a backlash after adverts advocating female genital mutilation on children were viewed more than 30,000 times after being promoted on the website.

A Muslim group calling itself Dawoodi Bohra Women for Religious Freedom posted a tweet last week justifying ‘khafz’ – or female circumcision – on young girls.

The tweet featured a video of group member Arwa Sohangpurwala saying: ‘My daughters have also undergone khafz, and they’re growing up as perfectly as other children of their age.As a mother, I can never do anything to harm them.’

But because the group paid for the tweet to be ‘promoted’, it showed up on the timelines of users who didn’t even follow the Dawoodi Bohra account.

Twitter users were quick to slam the advert. Esmael Omar tweeted: ‘Speak for yourself, woman. Don’t speak on behalf of innocent girls.

‘FGM is FGM no matter how you want sugar coat it. Leave alone cutting – even touching the female genitalia of a girl is still child abuse. Twitter must explain why they sponsored such a message.’

Paul Hart added: ‘Did you ask your daughters beforehand or did YOU make the decision to mutilate their genitals for them? Sick.’

Ingrid Srinath said: ‘Sorry, what?! Twitter is carrying an ad for female genital mutilation?’

Mariya Taher added: ‘I’m wondering how Twitter can say that an ad promoting female genital cutting/mutilation doesn’t violate community standards?’

The law on female genital mutiliation

More than 200 million girls and women are estimated to have experienced FGM, a life-threatening procedure that involves the partial or total removal of a woman’s external genitalia.

Girls aged 14 and younger represent 44million of those who have been cut, most commonly in Gambia, Mauritania and Indonesia.

The procedure is mostly carried out on young girls between infancy and 15.

Once girls have been cut, they are deemed ready for marriage and taken out of school – but FGM causes health problems and can be fatal.

It is practised by Muslim and Christian communities in some countries, but it is not mentioned in the Koran or Bible.

The practice is illegal in Britain, but around 137,000 girls from the UK are thought to be taken to countries that still perform the procedure.

It remains legal in Chad, Liberia, Mali, Sierra Leone, Somalia and Sudan.

Twitter has since removed the promoted post but taken no action on the original tweet, which is still visible.

A Twitter spokesman said: ‘This was a promoted tweet and was removed for violation of our policies.’

The Dawoodi Bohra Women for Religious Freedom group – a branch of the Shi’ite Muslim community – promotes female circumcision and claims that it has been ‘wrongly classified as female genital mutilation’.

It also claims the procedure involves ‘removal of a speck of superficial skin, a simple gentle process in which there is negligible, if any, pain’.

However, the World Health Organization still classifies the smallest form of removal as type 1 FGM.

Unicef estimates that more than 200million women have undergone FGM procedures worldwide.

Twitter previously blocked adverts from pro-life group Live Action, describing them as ‘inflammatory or provocative’.

The DBWRF group says it is ‘dedicated towards conserving and guarding the cultural and religious rights of Dawoodi Bohra women’, a sect in Shia Islam.

The organisation was formed in May 2017 and is said to represent tens of thousands of women who ‘strongly believe in preserving their religious and cultural heritage’.

It adds: ‘DBWRF advocates for the rights of Dawoodi Bohra women in India to ensure that Dawoodi Bohra women in India live with dignity and honour and are able to exercise their religious and cultural rights, including their right to practise khafz.’

If a woman doesn’t want to experience orgasm – that should be her decision.

Not pre-determined by a brain-washed old crone that has never experienced pleasure from another.

The failure on behalf of feminist groups to devote adequate attention to the Muslim rape epidemic and Islamic Female Genital Mutilation unveils the true face of what characterizes feminism – rampant hypocrisy and an agenda to downplay and dismiss genuine women’s rights issues that don’t fit into their warped paradigm .

The Left claims it opposes bigotry. Yet Islam, the most bigoted ideology that exists today, is given a pass./ is being promoted.

This hard-left version of feminism is just a wedge to break down our society (it worked) for Muslim insertion.

FGM isn’t mentioned in the holey quranus or the bible is a deliberately misleading statement, because FGM IS mentioned in the ahadith which comprises part of the Sunnah of islum.

So just for Sunnis but not for Shia? I thought that’s how that worked, with the hadiths.

Honestly, why would anyone listen to anyone dressed like a weirdo like she is? No one in their right mind does that. You know, if people knew nothing else but how the kkk dressed, we’d know to totally reject them as lunatics. It’s no different for Muslims.

Twitter and every so-called social-media source is a propaganda factory
for the Leftist-Fascists and the equally perverse cult, Islam. Twitter’s
advocating FGM is not only repugnant but immoral; therefore, it is not
surprising they condone or support FGM. These propagandists will
misinform, rewrite history so justify any perversities practiced by
Islam or those of their accord.

Conservatism, in their skewed and deranged worldview, is the enemy, the great Satan, while those of Islam butchering young women’s genitalia are the benchmark of holiness or civility. Progressivists are beyond help; their alliances with Islam, its malevolent edicts and the never-ending, conjured accusations, and castigation of Christians and Jews betrays their bigotry and philistinism, ignorance.

That kind of thing burns my butt. Where are the American and british feminazis? Why are they ignoring mutilation while calling “groping” a big offence? Such hypocrites. Where’s Dianne Frankenfeinstein?

And just think what would happen if Muslims dominated the U.S. population.
How corporate advertising – which caters to Spanish speaking demographics
and Muslimas who shampoo while wearing their hijab – would shift to cater
to Muslim female eunuchs! There would be a booming business in sexual
lubricants since the female eunuchs can’t respond sexually and might even
become injured – even if “the pain is negligible” – while having sex with hubby.

There might also be a surge in self-help books on how to endure the dreadful
tedium of sex without sexual feelings. Nike would come out with a soft-
soled shoe to help Muslima eunuchs in remaining as subservient and quiet
as possible in the presence of males.

If acceptance of FGM eunuchs ever caught on – life in America would never
be the same.

I re-state. who in their right mind allows people to invade western society who pray to and, claim that a mass murdering, slave trading, rapist, paedophile war lord is the most perfect human being that has walked this earth. Can anyone help me understand why our UK government allows such followers of this ideology to get a foothold in the running of our society. It was suggested in another post that this can only be classed as a Luciferion ideology, the devil in allahs clothing.
