Egyptian Parliament: Female Genital Mutilation is A-OK [UPDATE: Or is it?]

Posted by Robert on May 16, 2008 11:16 AM

UPDATE: Jihad Watch reader Anonymous has kindly alerted me to this [1] MEMRI blog post, "Egyptian People's Council Nixes Sections Of New Children's Law," May 16. It says, "However, the People's Council did decide to ratify the section banning female circumcision."

This flatly contradicts the Ynet story below. So what did the People's Council actually do? If anyone knows, please email me at director[at]jihadwatch.org.
