Female genital mutilation (FGM) or clitoridectomy is an Islamic tradition, rampant in the Muslim world. Over 96% of the women in Egypt have been clitoridectomized. Back in 2008, devout members of the Egyptian parliament have made female genital mutilation (circumcision) legal again in Egypt.
And now we find, after hearing that it was only a West African tradition, that it is being preached in India as well. This is because it is based in Islamic texts.

Muhammad is said to have justified it: “A woman used to perform circumcision in Medina. The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said to her: Do not cut severely as that is better for a woman and more desirable for a husband.” (Sunan Abu Dawud 41.5251)
There is also justification for the practice in Islamic law:
“Circumcision is obligatory (for every male and female) (by cutting off the piece of skin on the glans of the penis of the male, but circumcision of the female is by cutting out the bazr ‘clitoris’ [this is called khufaadh ‘female circumcision’]).” — ‘Umdat al-Salik e4.3, translated by Mark Durie, The Third Choice, p. 64
“Bohra cleric urges female genital mutilation?,” by Mohua Das, Times of India, April 29, 2016 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
MUMBAI: Efforts may be on to end the practice of female genital mutilation that young girls in the Dawoodi Bohra community are made to undergo in India but their spiritual leader may not be convinced yet as he went on to publicly encourage the act of khatna (female circumcision) albeit indirectly, in his recent sermon at the Saifee Mosque in Bhendi Bazaar.
[the_ad id=”72852″]
A four-minute audio clip from Syedna Muffadal Saifuddin’s bayaan (speech) on the occasion of the 51st Syedna Taher Saifuddin’s death anniversary, has gone viral over a mobile messaging app and generated conversations within the community on how the Syedna’s endorsement may urge close followers of the spiritual head to continue with the painful practice.
The clip begins with a plea from the Syedna speaking in a mix of Gujarati and Urdu. “We should keep our things strong, stay firm. Even the big sovereign states, whatever it is they say, if it makes any difference to our things, then we are not prepared to understand!” he says and then adds. “The act has to happen! If it is a man, then it is right, it can be openly done, but if it is a woman then it must be done discreetly, but then the act has to be done. Please understand what I am trying to talk about…”
A Mumbai resident present at the Hussaini Mosque where the sermon was being beamed live on a giant screen confirmed that the clip was what he had heard being broadcast. “The Syedna was reading from a script which is usually the routine on such an occasion but all of a sudden he went off and started talking in a cryptic fashion. It was confusing at first. Then we gradually realized that he was talking about female circumcision when he used words like amal (act), mamlakat (states) and that the act must be carried out discreetly for women and openly for men. It was very disturbing for me and my wife,” he told TOI. A close friend of the Syedna family dismissed such an interpretation of the Syedna’s speech when TOI called him. “It was a general comment. Nothing specific. People are interpreting it differently,” he said alleging that, “Those close to the new claimant to the Syedna title are trying to target our revered Syedna (Muffadal Saifuddin).”
A 36-year-old Bohra woman who has lived through the horrors of khatna and currently settled in the US expressed her anguish having heard the clip. “Just a month ago many of us in the US received a letter from the jamaat (local community unit) that works under the Syedna’s guidelines. It said that we must follow the law of the land and not practice khatna. I was thrilled, at peace with my faith. What I just heard reflects hypocrisy. I’m disillusioned and worried.”

As a registered nurse I cared for an Egyptian woman who had an ob/gyn procedure. The surgeon could not insert a catheter because of the mutilation and neither could the urologist. I was warned ahead of time what I would see, but the room literally went black when I assessed the woman in the PACU (post anesthesia care unit). I practically hit the floor. She had both labia majora and minora removed, and of course the clitoris was missing. What remained of her genitalia was unrecognizable. This atrocity had been done to her as a little girl. After nearly blacking out I was hit with waves of queasiness – and not much effects me as a nurse.
The practice comes from Hadith and Sheikh Yusuf al Qaradawi certainly believes it is o.k. based on his fatwa on female circumcision.
We are allowing barbaric practice on U.S. soil. It is here and it is being done.

I take it these primitives never read “The Joy of Sex” but, then again, I get ahead of myself by presupposing that they can read.

muslim women need their own version of
I – Instituting
S – Sexual
L – Laws
A – Against
M – Mohammed
Funny, I can’t find allah making this ‘khatna’ doctrine in Q’ran – An aberration that mo fantasized about, then decreed as coming from angel, Gabriel.
BS

A fast sex change of these abusers with a .40 S&W sounds like a good starting point. Change them from a rooster to a hen in one shot.

By the way, the mother of Huma Abedin, shillary’s trusted aide, is a big supporter of FGM. Probably Huma has been done! Yes, that is the Muslime Sisterhood. Yes, there really is a Sisterhood.

NPR had a short story about this. It was very detailed and then it was cut off–so there was no conclusion.(or was the cut-off the conclusion?) Getting rid of this cruel practice would be just-It can be done just like ridding the world of Islam can be accomplished as well.

Sneak me into the cutting,

Btw, the name “Saifuddin” (Saif-ud-Din) is Arabic for “sword-of-the-faith”. I hope that doesn’t imply the bastard is going after the little girls with anything as large as a sword.

For a sec I thought it was a boy mutilation – cercumsision in pic. For moslem/jews its all about the meat. Don’t eat that – don’t eat this. Must be prepaired carefuly – no pork. Dick pealing religions. I Here dead bodies must be berried quickly before they spoil too. Hey! arrwee gonna eat them or berry them or wat?? Allah/Jaweh who art grate, please bless my meat.

Why? Why would they do that to a woman?? God designed us with our nerve endings laid out the same. Only the insertion of the X or Y determines sex. The whole idea for a woman’s orgasm is that she is “spent’ and lays still for a period of time so the sperm can travel. If she stands up gravity comes into play. Of course pleasure enters into the picture as well. Men? well….we just want to do it. 😉 I do understand the male circumcision and its religious roots and the argument that it is mutilation. However I don’t see the physical down side to such actions. You can correct me if I am wrong on that count. I was circumcised and looked like my father so no questions were asked. Unfortunately at this age my wife points and says “what is that……. a skin tag”? Thanks wife of 40 years.

third world detroit.
Time to keep the bohra muslims barbarions out.
Implying
that female circumcision should continue in countries such as India where the practice has
not been made illegal, spiritual leader of the Bohra community, Syedna Mufaddal
Saifuddin on Monday issued a press release upholding the decision of Bohra
trusts in other places to
end the practice where it is against the law.”These resolutions
reflect the repeated directions of Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin to respect
the law of the land and live as worthy and contributory citizens within
prevailing laws,” the press statement said.
However,
even as he confirmed the validity of those decisions, the Syedna
clarified that circumcision was a religious obligation for all Bohras.
“Male
and female circumcision (called khatna
and khafz respectively) are religious
rites that have been practiced by Dawoodi Bohras throughout their history,” the
statement said. “Religious books, written over a thousand years ago, specify
the requirements for both males and females as acts of religious purity.”
third world detroit.
