    It is already illegal in the USA. You need to join the world-wide global initiative, and supply assets to the cause.

    There is a few trials moving forward in Michigan now. Hopefully convictions result and the penalties are severe enough to prevent others to commit this crime.

    I think you should educate yourself about the reasons why

    I get a bit tired of being advised by various persons on this site to 'educate myself' as if I'm some kind of moron. My comment is that genital mutilation is genital mutilation, whether female or male, so perhaps you'd be so kind as to 'educate me' as to where I've got it wrong? No hurry though, because I won't be holding my breath for an answer. :roll:

    Has nothing to do with Islam

    It is a cultural aberrancy

    While at it let's do more about sulfuric acid attacks. This is a much greater violation and one that should carry a long prison term.

    You totally know that some hadith speak of female circoncision. I know your personnal position on hadith, but it's not the position of most muslims.

    It should be punished by death or prison for life. I tend to be old school so I would say impalement.

    The Nazis you so fear are not the ones doing female genital mutilations. They are done almost exclusively by Muslims.

    Those convicted of doing FGM in the US should be slammed with every hate crime on the books and face public humiliation.

    Most muslims don't practice it but it's widely practiced in Nigeria, Indonesia and Egypt. It highly depend of the country. I notice that it's less practiced in countr

    And even if most muslims reject FGM, you can deny that some hadith encourage to FGM.

    So you probably think that it is a false hadith and it is honnorfull to you, but this hadith still exist and some muslims seems to think it's a true hadith and they should apply it.

    Muhammed didn't forbid FGM.. just like Jesus didn't forbid slavery.

    The wording of the hadith is "if you must, take only a little".

    I'm not christian, however remember that Jesus claimed that his kingdom was not of this land but in the heaven. That's the basis of secularism who exist for centuries in Europe. Even if kings were often considered as king from divine right, they didn't had authority in religion, and religious had rarely an authority on people (even if some bishop were the lords of many parts of countries).

    This hadith is consired as saheeh by Al Albaani, but it's not obvious it is considered as saheeh by everybody.

    It's obvious that a part of the muslim world practice it not anymore, but a large part do it, and not only in Africa, it happens to in indonesia and malaysia.

    Europeans were secular when it suited them.. and they burned 10s of thousands of witches at the stake.

    Why are some people so afraid to admit this is a muslim problem? Why so eager to vilify "Africa," but not islam? The map posted before seems to show that this occurs everywhere there is a large Islamic population, Africa and elsewhere. I mean, if you think there is nothing wrong with it or that it is a personal thing, then that is something else and could be argued I suppose. But it seems sort of ludicrous to suggest that this is occurring with regularity in, say, African Christian households.

    And what in the world does it have to do with the Nazis?

    Nowodays secularism is rather recent, however, you have the seeds of secularism in the separation of the personn of the emperor and the personn of the patriarche/pope.

    The nazis did the most horrendous mutilation of women....the experimentation was unbelievable.
    FMG is against the law and is criminalized....as it should be. The intent of FGM is so women will have no sexual pleasure

    Your only hope at getting justice for the (probably nonexistent) Nazis who performed FGM is to dig up their graves and hang the bodies.

    Otherwise, focus your crusade for women by attacking the millions of Muslims doing the barbaric rituals today.

    False. It's enshrined in Islamic Law.

    Sure, and what little they take is too much, they destroy, much by the scrape of an sharp instrument.

    Uh, women are way ahead of you and many are fighting to stop this male oppression...



    Uh, DUH, DUH, and another big DUH for you....you seem to be unaware that there are other women in the world besides Muslim women.....so no further engagement with you is meaningful...
