    FGM is a forced operation inflicted on young females, more than 50% of Egyptian Arab women had to undergo this debilitating cutting by no other than women that had no prior medical knowledge/experience...
    This mutilating cruel clitoral cut is the most backward experience in the Arab world still being performed today... I wish the reader to examine the consequences of this clitoral cut/mutilation and the high mortality involved.

    Regarding males, Many Qualified western doctors say the opposite !
    Regarding females - that is not primitive practice !! THAT IS EVIL.
    Imagine 12 years old Muslim girl tightly perceived by four women, one of them opens her legs and cut her with a razor some genitals.
    Really shocking .
    Trauma and cruelty

    Oooops! :omg:



    Among the Bedouins of Israel none of the 37 women examined was mutilated. They all had only small scars on the prepuce of the clitoris and/or the upper 1 cm of the labia minora near the clitoral prepuce.

    Asali A, Khamaysi N, Aburabia Y, Letzer S, Halihal B, Sadovsky M, et al.
    Ritual female genital surgery among Bedouin in Israel.
    Arch Sex Behav 1995;24:571-5.

    Upon physical examination of the other group, Ethiopian Jews, which resides now in Israel and performed female genital mutilation in Ethiopia, 63% of the women, who all claimed to have been circumcised, did not even have a scar! 20% had scars, in 7%, one square centimeter of the labia minora was removed from beneath the clitoris and only 10% demonstrated a real and severe form of female genital mutilation, total amputation of the clitoris.

    Its rare in most or the Arab world unless the wives come from parts of Sudan or Somalia.. Its matrilineal in nature.. not Islamic. FGM is not a practice of the Negev bedu.

    You have no idea what you are talking about.. American medical teams have worked and kept records since the 1940s.. While they have NOT examined every woman.. they do note trends..

    Bedouin in KSA, the Arabian Peninsula, Jordan and the Levant are not Africans.
