Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) defended in India: ‘Essential Part of Islam,’ can’t be subjected to judicial scrutiny

45

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

Indeed…

The gruesome practice of female genital mutilation is at record highs and on the rise in America due to the influx of Muslim immigrants. Muslim doctors here in the US have been charged with mutilating the genitalia of little girls — the first arrests of this kind

Our group, the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI), released an alarming video, filmed at Columbia University, showing that at Columbia, an Ivy League school and one of the nation’s foremost centers of higher learning, most students are willing to condone female genital mutilation.

 

 

FGM involves partial or total removal of the clitoris causing injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons. It has no health benefits for girls and women, and removes all possibility of sexual pleasure. It is the worst kind of misogyny. Procedures can cause severe bleeding and problems urinating, and later cysts, infections, as well as complications in childbirth and increased risk of newborn deaths.

The enemedia always goes out of its way to cover for and scrub Islam from any connection with this misogynistic Islamic practice. Authorities will never be able to address the problem adequately because they’re too busy going out their way to say that it is not Islamic in practice Female genital mutilation (FGM) or clitoridectomy is an Islamic tradition, rampant in the Muslim world. Dissemblers and deceivers claim that FGM is cultural phenomenon, not religious. FGM is an Islamic cultural phenomenon. FGM is found only within and adjacent to Muslim communities (source: Gerry Mackie, “Ending Footbinding and Infibulation: A Convention Account”, American Sociological Review.)

200 Million Girls Have Undergone FGM, 70 Million More Than Previously Thought

“In fact, genital disfigurement has become so common in America’s immigrant communities that the Department of Justice has taken to printing Arabic brochures for immigrants, encouraging them not to disfigure young girls by removing their sexual organs.”

A couple of years ago, the American Academy of Pediatrics advocated that American doctors be allowed to stick girls’ clitorises with a needle, so as to satisfy Muslim families’ demand for female genital mutilation: “It might be more effective if federal and state laws enabled pediatricians to reach out to families by offering a ritual nick as a possible compromise to avoid greater harm.”

Sanctioning the savagery.

FGM essential part of Islam, can’t be subjected to judicial scrutiny, SC told

Dawoodi Bohra community justified the female genital mutilation (FGM) in SC and called it an integral aspect of religious practice.

By J Venkatesan,Asian Age, July 31, 2018:

Arguments will continue in the Supreme Court on August 9. (Photo: File)

New Delhi: Senior counsel Abhishek Manu Singhvi, who appeared for Dawoodi Bohra community, justified in the Supreme Court on Tuesday the female genital mutilation (FGM) and called it an integral aspect of religious practice.

Making this submission before a three-judge bench comprising Chief Justice Dipak Misra and justices A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud hearing petitions from advocate Sunita Tihar and others challenging the practice of FGM, Dr Singhvi contended that it has the sanction of religious texts.

He said, “It is an essential aspect of Islam and cannot be subjected to judicial scrutiny. Quoting from religious texts, he demonstrated that this practice has been followed for centuries.

FGM or ‘khatna’ is a practice prevalent among the Dawoodi Bohra religious community of Shia sect though it is a crime and punishable offence. This practice is an age-old tradition in this community to mark the arrival of womanhood. The court had already orally expressed its disapproval to this practice.

The Centre had supported the petitioners stating that the FGM is a crime with a punishment of seven years of imprisonment “under the existing laws” and that the court can further clarify on the matter and issue guidelines. It also pointed out that the United Nations has deprecated this practice and FGM has been banned in the US, UK, Australia, Canada and 27 African countries and it should not be allowed to continue.

The petitioners have described the practice as “inhuman” and “violative” of girl’s rights under the Constitution’s Article 14 (Right to Equality) and Article 21 (Right to Life). They sought a direction to declare it illegal and unconstitutional, non-compoundable and a non-bailable offence.

They have also asked the court to frame guidelines to curb the practice and to issue directions to the state police chiefs to take action against those who indulge in such practice.

Arguments will continue on August 9.

It’s my religion to castrate male Muslims.

How about that? It’s the same thing as them saying it’s their religious “right” to commit this atrocity against women.

It’s my religious right to castrate all muslim men. I’ll make it the law of the land and then get everyone who joins my religion to go grab every Muslim man and cut off their sex organs. Then we’ll be even.

More disturbing is the fact that a court has decided that the rights of a violent medieval cult trumps the right of all females unlucky enough to be born into it to not have their intimate parts chopped. In other words, the cult now has the legal go-ahead to permanently injure and deform the weaker, more defenceless half of its own population.

They are not removing vagina but only clitoris . its same as removing male prepuce. while I don’t approve of either but I’ve seen studies and video surveys where most women actually prefer men with skin removed from dick !

so this looks like hyped up double standards.

You are obviously uninformed. You don’t have a single clue what you are talking about. I was pre-med before I went into management and then mental health. The entire head of the penis called the glans is the same part as the little tip of the clitoris you assume they remove. The clitoris actually wraps itself around the entire opening of the vagina and just the tip sticks out at the top. In clitorectomies, sometimes they just take off the equivalent of the glans. But the most common cuts out the whole damn thing and sees up the labia. That would mean you take extra skin from the scrotum and the whole penis right all the way down to the scrotum. Then you see up what is left of the scrotum so the balls are squished in there are uncomfortably as possible. Are you a Muslim because you will be my first priority?

you are just exaggerating it and making it sound like their whole vagina is getting removed. so how do they have sex and how is that they go on to produce 6-12 kids without vagina ?

the operation of renoving clitoris can be done under anesthesia and only as painful as removing foreskin of penis.

Suresh, creatures like you do not deserve any respect so you are not going to get it here. It is NOT the equivalent and you know it, you Mohammed’s butt-kissing woman-hating slave of Allah. “Only” clitoris? Of course, so the female will be robbed of any sexual enjoyment, easier to enslave her to her first-cousin arranged-marriage 20-years-older husband who paid her slimey father for her “hand”. Got to keep the vagina so she can pump out those Muslim babies for the civilization jihad. Said it before but it bears repeating: the sorriest excuse for a MAN is the average Muslim “male” banging his head on the floor and waving his ass hopefully in the direction of Allahochiekoo.

Ooo! That must be why all the circumcised males on the face of the earth refrain from sex because it’s just not worth the effort!

And, if “other cultures from middle east/africa have been doing it too” then it must be good. Right? No, wait… if if prevents male enjoyment….

Must be very confusing trying to please the demands of Allahoochiekoochie and argue both for female sexual mutilation and against male circumcision at the same time, but then Allah Knows Best, righto?

It does not reduce enjoyment. FGM and foreskin removal are not in the same universe.

I’m not sure, but I’ve understood that FGM is so females don’t get sexually excited, tell me if I’m wrong. I that is the case, that I applaud
your wanting the

“An integral aspect of religious practice”
What more demonstration that Islam is a ~CULT~ and not a legitimate religion is needed?
Islam has more in common with the Thuggee Cult than with any other form of observance in India.

There are literally so many muslums in India the country has been given the unique observer status in the all muslum fascist oganisation called the OIC. I believe India is in the top 5 of countries having the largest muslum population.

What is the story with you? Are you just a MUS-SLIME using an assumed name, or a full-our misogynist gloating over the idea of millions of mutilated women? Making women “pay” for the “sin” of sexual fulfillment is not uncommon in various religions but only Islam takes it to such a sadistic extreme. That you find it titillating says a lot about your own warped psychology.

I agree that it’s their rite to have FGM just as it’s their rite to sever your head if they want ! And while I’m on the subject, they have the rite to cut off hands and feet too. How can you argue against such an evil ideology ? Now maybe you can understand why our Prime Minister Trudeau wants to bring these wonderful people to Canada by the hundreds of thousands ………. thanks Justin.
