Category: FGM: Female Genital Mutilation/Clitoridectomy

No comment, @IIlhanMN?

What’s appalling is Omar’s refusal to condemn the Islamic practice of clitoris removal.

Democrats have consistently stood in the way of effective FGM legislation- siding with its defenders that it is “religious freedom.” WE NEED TOUGH FGM LAWS NOW.

Vile, Christianophobic @EmmaBatha @thomsonreuters ‏wants you to believe the Islamic practice of vaginal mutilation is an evangelical Christian evil .

A federal judge has dismissed six charges of female genital mutilation against a doctor, declaring the nation’s female genital mutilation law as unconstitutional.

“Many Muslims in Malaysia will tell you that circumcision will protect girls from growing up and becoming wild.”

Defense lawyers tried to convince a federal judge Tuesday to dismiss female genital mutilation charges in the first criminal case of its kind nationwide, arguing the law is unconstitutional.

“The practising community talk together, saying, ‘My girl needs to be cut’, and pay the cutters to come into the UK and cut the girls here.”

Also revealed in the appalling figures, 15 children aged between one and four, also reported by Birmingham medics, as FGM victims.

Where are the feminists? What a phony movement.

All three Illinois girls were about 7 years old at the time of the procedures ….. the doctors are using a religious defense. “Freedom of religion” – freedom to mutilate, murder, hate …. Genital mutilation victims break their silence: ‘This is demonic’

“Medical.” There is nothing medical about clitordectomies. It is an affront to the Hippocratic Oath, first do no harm.

Female genital mutilation has been a crime since 1985 in the United Kingdom, but in over three decades the authorities have yet to secure a single conviction and mounted only a tiny number of unsuccessful prosecutions.

More than a year after her arrest in the nation’s first female genital mutilation case, the defiant Muslima doctor continues to attack the government for pursuing the case., claiming the law that’s being used to prosecute her is unconstitutional.

Senior counsel justified vaginal mutilation before the Supreme Court in India on Tuesday and called FGM an integral aspect of Islamic religious practice.

He told Voice of America (VOA) “people in the area are content” with FGM even considering the dangers, adding it is the country’s “culture”.

“The woman who performed the operation has not been arrested, but even if she was, there is no law that would ensure she is punished for the act.”

Around 4,500 new cases of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) were recorded in England over the last year.

“The estimated increase was wholly a result of rapid growth in the number of immigrants from FGM/C-practicing countries living in the United States.”

Wales is opening its first-ever female genital mutilation (FGM) clinic to provide medical and psychological help to victims of the practice.
