Let's End Female Genital Mutilation

Muslims do not muitlate girls here and most of the world. Christians and Jews do not stone people even though it’s in the Bible. The Old Testament has some pretty horrible stuff in it but Jews don’t act on those parts but it is a good way to develop anti-Semitism. Pick out from the Bible what can get you to hate a group and make that present day

 

Since you've never studied Islamic Law and I have, what basis do you claim I am "pre-judging" and "overgeneralizing"?

None. Zero.

I think it's interesting how you can't discuss Islam's dark side without trying to drag in Christians.

Please tell me where "extermination of millions" is taught in the Bible for Christians to follow. Thanks.

 

Then who is mutilating girls here? Martians? The doctor arrested for it in Michigan is a Muslim and she's trying to claim religious liberty.

CNN's article on FGM listed countries that are very heavily Islamic:

Sierra Leone: 78% Muslim

Djibouti: 94% Muslim

Guinea: 85% Muslim

Somalia: 99.8% Muslim


What is the source for your data? Name it.

I already explained why Christians don't stone people, you just chose to ignore it to beat an ideological drum.

If you can't handle naming who is doing the cutting and why, stop complaining about it.

 

Then I’ll use your logic. People who are German are Jew killers and shouldn’t be allowed in this country. After all we have many neo nazis and they want to kill Jews

 

Maine House Democrats Vote to Allow Female Genital Mutilation

April 19, 2018 Maine First Media Local News 17

Following swift action from Maine House Democrats on the last day of the legislative session, there will be no Female Genital Mutilation ban in the state.

After months of pretending they wanted to stop the barbaric ritual child abuse of FGM, the Democrat caucus showed their true colors on the issue late Wednesday night.

By a final vote of 77-70, the House killed the FGM ban in a mostly party-line vote. Rep. Cathy Nadeau (D-Winslow) was the only Democrat who crossed the aisle to protect young daughters of immigrants in Maine from this brutal abuse.

Republican Rep. Heather Sirocki of Scarborough points out Democrats voted to kill an FGM Ban in April, which is Child Abuse Prevention Month. And in fact, they did it on the “Week of the Young Child.”

Rep. Sirocki says Maine House Democrats initially decided to table the bill with the intent of letting it cowardly die without the courtesy of a vote. However, supporters of the ban made their voices heard.

“Playing games with a child abuse bill is shameful,” Rep. Sirocki said. “Finally, after hours of phone calls from all over the country and state urging Speaker Gideon to relent, she brought the bill to the Floor at 10:30 pm. The Democrats like to talk about victims’ rights, women’s rights, child advocacy, human rights, and justice — but their votes on this horrific form of child abuse do not back up all of their talk.”

It looks like the Democrat's objection to the bill was over who should be liable for the punishment (i.e. they don't think the mother of a girl who took her girl to be mutilated should be punished)

 

And the rates in Albania, Bosnia, Turkey, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Azerbaijan etc are about 0%. The correlation you bring up is a false one. I am not claiming FGM has "nothing" to do with Islam, it obviously has something to do with it, but only on a cultural level - FGM is an old African rite that has been incorporated with Islam much like Christmas was incorporated with Christianity back in the days.

 

One doctor is trying to give these poor women their sexuality back:
