The gruesome practice of female genital mutilation is at record highs and on the rise in America, due to the influx of Muslim immigrants. Muslim doctors here in the US have been charged with mutilating the genitalia of little girls — the first arrests of this kind.
Our group, the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI), released an alarming video, filmed at Columbia University, showing that at Columbia, an Ivy League school and one of the nation’s foremost centers of higher learning, most students are willing to condone female genital mutilation.

More coverage on FGM.
FGM involves partial or total removal of the clitoris, causing injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons. It has no health benefits for girls and women, and removes all possibility of sexual pleasure. It is the worst kind of misogyny. Procedures can cause severe bleeding and problems urinating, and later cysts, infections, as well as complications in childbirth and increased risk of newborn deaths.
The enemedia always goes out of its way to cover for and scrub Islam from any connection with this misogynistic Islamic practice. Authorities will never be able to address the problem adequately because they’re too busy going out their way to say that it is not Islamic in practice Female genital mutilation (FGM) or clitoridectomy is an Islamic tradition, rampant in the Muslim world. Dissemblers and deceivers claim that FGM is cultural phenomenon, not religious. FGM is an Islamic cultural phenomenon. FGM is found only within and adjacent to Muslim communities (source: Gerry Mackie, “Ending Footbinding and Infibulation: A Convention Account”, American Sociological Review.)
200 Million Girls Have Undergone FGM, 70 Million More Than Previously Thought
“In fact, genital disfigurement has become so common in America’s immigrant communities that the Department of Justice has taken to printing Arabic brochures for immigrants, encouraging them not to disfigure young girls by removing their sexual organs.”
A couple of years ago, the American Academy of Pediatrics advocated that American doctors be allowed to stick girls’ clitorises with a needle, so as to satisfy Muslim families’ demand for female genital mutilation: “It might be more effective if federal and state laws enabled pediatricians to reach out to families by offering a ritual nick as a possible compromise to avoid greater harm
Village by village, the quest to stop female genital cutting in Somaliland
HARGEISA, Aug 29 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) – When Mumtas Khadar turned nine she couldn’t wait for the ritual undertaken by every woman in her village in Somaliland in northeast Africa that she believed would make her more beautiful.
But the traditional practice of female genital mutilation (FGM) left her in agony, bedridden for a week then with painful periods every month and troubles conceiving when she married.
“I was happy as I thought it would be a great dignity for my wedding night,” Khadar, now 45, told the Thomson Reuters Foundation in Sanani village on the outskirts of Hargeisa, capital of the self-declared republic of Somaliland.
“It was our culture. Everyone did it. But I’d never do this to my daughters,” she said via an interpreter as she sat with other women on the concrete floor of a bare meeting room of the semi-arid village where goats roam the dusty streets.
Khadar, who now has three children, is one of thousands of women being targeted by health workers going village-to-village and even door-to-door in Somaliland which has one of the world’s highest rates of FGM, a practice which can kill or maim women.
U.N. agency UNICEF estimates about 98 percent of women aged 15 to 49 have undergone the procedure in the breakaway Islamic state of four million, which has operated independently of Somalia since 1991, but is not globally recognised as a country.
The World Health Organization estimates about 200 million women globally have undergone FGM, which involves the partial or total removal of external genitalia. In Somalia and Somaliland, the vaginal opening is typically sewn almost closed.
Six African countries – Chad, Liberia, Mali, Sierra Leone, Somalia and Sudan – do not criminalise FGM, which world leaders pledged to end under a set of global goals agreed in 2015.
Somaliland last year passed a fatwa, or religious order, to condemn the two most severe forms of FGM, but this left mixed interpretations on lesser forms of FGM and no law has been introduced to punish those responsible.
But Somaliland government spokesman Mukhtar Mohamed Ali said eradicating FGM was a priority and a proposed law – that was amended after opposition from Islamic clerics – is before the president and could be passed by the end of the year.
“We are committed to ending all these practices,” he told the Thomson Reuters Foundation in an interview in his office in the government district of Hargeisa, a sprawling dusty city of nearly one million people with few tarmac roads.
“This has been a cultural practice for many years and it is not easy to stop such a tradition … but there is a lot of respect for the laws in Somaliland.”

differing cultural norms, they say …
“” This is not the first time that Dar al Huda school has been criticised for a kindergarten graduation ceremony involving mock military exercises.
In March 2017, The Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center published video and images which depicted a similar ceremony at the same school.
In the footage, four children wearing uniforms of the Jerusalem Battalions – PIJ’s military wing – are seen shooting and killing two children dressed as ultra-Orthodox Jews at a mock roadblock. “”

This project by Pamela and others to create videos around serious subjects which ought to be subjects of public debate is a great idea, especially if {because they’re SO radical they’re “naughty} they become underground for students and sought after.
The subjects chosen at random for interview were by and large an unimpressive lot, nothing exceptional in that, they’re the products of a PC group think agenda going on for thirty years now.
However I believe in concentrating the mind in the young when questioning, and so I might have posed the question
” would you undergo this procedure to show your support for it”?
I’m sure the answers would have been informative.

FGM is not required by the Quran, or the Hadith etc.. This is why it is ending and making headway in various Muslim countries. This is a sadistic tradition that PREDATES Islam. Muslims use it as a way of trying to control female Muslims. Even LIBERAL Huffington Post gets that.
Why Female Circumcision Violates Islam
04/21/2017 02:07 pm ET Updated Apr 24, 2017
When I read about the recent arrests of Muslims in Michigan for practicing female genital mutilation, a horrific custom that tragically exists in parts of the Middle East and Africa, I was disgusted, appalled and bewildered that such evil had made its way to our shores in America. How is it possible that well-educated people (in this case doctors!) could still commit this crime against innocent children, damaging them physically and psychologically for life? Especially when it violates the basic precepts of Islam?
Wait a minute, female circumcision violates Islam? Yes, it does. And the fact that this evil practice is thought of by many people, including some Muslims, as part of the religion is just another sad example of how the world’s second largest religion is not only misunderstood by many, but is actually perverted in the modern world to represent the exact opposite of everything it stands for.

Uh no. In 2 places its mentioned 1)”It is obligatory for men & women. For men to “cut off a piece of flesh”. (like the skin hanging under our chin. ed) BUT (it continues) for women the clitoris, is cut OUT.” Not a piece of skin! He is quoted as saying “If your gunna cut, dont cut out too much.

What’s even sicker is mothers and grandmothers hold the girls down for this hideous mutilation.
They had it done to them and for some sadistic reason, do it to their girls.
What Possesses a Mother To Hold Her Daughter Down for FGM?
Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) is something that I first heard about 30 years ago from an African female friend who had been cut. She was in her 20s when we became friends but was still suffering from physical and mental harm from what was done to her when she was young. She explained about the pain she still had to endure and the memory she carried of the incident which threw her into bouts of depression still. There was no awareness of FGM being a repressive cultural act and, looking back now, I am saddened by how she and I accepted that this was something girls had to undergo in certain cultures despite the devastation that accompanied it.
It is only since the campaigns and debates about FGM have surfaced that I have come to realise that this is a feminist issue that involves cruelty, maiming and mutilation in modern times. Taking this train of thought further it is also a feminist mothering issue because it is often mothers who hold their daughters down while the girl child is cut. The picture below featured in today’s Guardian shows a mother holding her four-year old daughter down for an FGM procedure in Indonesia where it is not considered to be mutilation.
The sight of this little girl crying and holding on to her mother while the mother, herself, is an active perpetrator in this utterly reprehensible practice has haunted me all day and will continue to do so. What possesses this mother to think that what she is doing is for the emotional and physical betterment of her daughter’s future? The cultural excuses given to justify FGM are simply smokescreens, barriers put up to frighten others off from questioning it. Being Asian myself I am used to hearing the language of ‘culture’ being used as a tool of repression and the sooner we all wake up to this hollowed out argument the better.

In their culture if a girl becomes “boy crazy”, &/or has a relationship with a boy, they would have to kill her. Honor killing is required! That would be disruptive – a burden to them. Their just thinking of themselves.

WOMEN are typically the ones performing the FGM.

Muslims just love beheading anything they can. When it comes to women, they love beheading the little boy in the boat, so a woman can feel no pleasure from intercourse.

A practice that can only be carried out by low IQ low intelligent people, the same creed that follows islam. And the governments of the west see no problem with importing people from this country, then wonder why FGM is on the increase. Third world behaviour from third world countries and our stupid government think these people will change when they come to the west. Our governments will have to be accountable for the destruction of the western way of life at some point.

This practice has no place in any nation that calls itself civilized. It must be criminalized. The bottom line is it’s perpetrated on underage girls. It is child abuse.
