Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

UK: 5,500 cases of FGM in 2016 alone, not a single prosecution

Mar 11, 2017 2:58 pm By Robert Spencer

Why no prosecutions? Probably because they would be seen as “Islamophobic.” FGM is widely reputed to be a “cultural” practice, but actually it is sanctioned by 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

“REVEALED: Thousands of Female Genital Mutilations STILL taking place illegally in Britain,” by Sofia Petkar, Express, March 7, 2017:

THE NHS has seen a shocking rise in the number of case of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) in Britain – despite the practice being banned for more than 30 years.

Medical staff recorded almost 5,500 cases in 2016 alone, according to shocking new statistics.

FGM is a procedure that sees the genitals of young girls deliberately cut, injured or disfigured for “cultural, religious or social reasons”.

A report, published on Tuesday, found 1,286 new cases in the last quarter of 2016 – compared with 1,240 in the previous quarter.

The report also found more than 16,000 FGM-related attendances at NHS hospitals and GP surgeries over the year.

Doctors also discovered that while 96 per cent of women were aged 17 or younger when FGM was carried out on them, almost all – 98 per cent – were over 18 when their cases were recorded.

After the practice was banned in the UK, families began taking their daughters abroad for the procedure.

In 2003, the UK government expanded the law making it a criminal offence for British nationals or permanent residents to take their child abroad for FGM.

It is now also mandatory for healthcare professionals to alert authorities if they come across a case of the illegal practice.

Liberal Democrat shadow equalities secretary Lorely Burt has called on the Government to “redouble efforts” to tackle the issue.

She said: “The figures are astonishing. Whilst clear progress is being made at identifying FGM in a health setting, far more must be done in schools to raise awareness of the practice and help teachers flag children at risk.”

FGM can cause a host of physical and psychological problems – in some cases girls can bleed to death or die from infections caused by dirty blades.

The practice has been illegal in the UK since 1985, and is classified as child abuse.

However, no-one has been prosecuted over the practice since it was banned….

    Question-has been banned since 1985; but no one has been prosecuted. (Last sentence).

    So, why bother? Why bother banning it-making it a crime, if totally ignored?

    Another question:Medical staff recorded almost 5,500 cases in 2016 alone, according to shocking new statistics.
    The report also found more than 16,000 FGM-related attendances at NHS hospitals and GP surgeries over the year.

    Can someone explain the second sentence. The first is self-explanatory. The second- what is meant by related attendances?

    I am not sure what the report is trying to say (or perhaps did say-somewhere)

      “FGM-related’ attendances’ would be to do with the medical ‘fallout’ from FGM. Because it makes urination and menstruation difficult and slow, stuff can ‘bank up’ and as a result women and girls who have had FGM are much more prone to urinary-tract infections and therefore, over time, kidney disease; they are also much more prone to uterine infections.

      Also, there can be cysts and lumps of scar tissue that cause pain and problems.

      All of this can manifest and develop years after the procedure has been performed.

        Exactly right, DDA.

        In addition to removing all sexual pleasure, girls and women who have been mutilated sometimes bleed copiously, sometimes resulting in death.

        Even those who survive the initial mutilation often suffer ongoing problems including UTIs and other infections; severe pain, especially during sex; difficulty giving birth; Fibulas (where the fetus punches through the rectum, rendering the victim incontinent and sometimes subject to infections, sometimes deadly, from fecal contamination).

        This is particularly true with Type III FGM, where not only is the clitoris and labia removed, but the vagina is then sewn up, with just a small hole left for passage of urine and menstrual blood.

          Yet the fact seems to remain that, despite all this evidence that is no doubt costing the UK taxpayer at least £hundreds of thousands in NHS charges, the police aren’t doing anything about it. It should be possible to enough info out of the girl to press charges against someone, or the girls’ legal.guardians could be held responsible and charged. Not rocket science! It seems to be accepted opinion in certain areas of the UK corridors if power that certain demographic elements in the UK can consider themselves above the law for ‘cultural’ reasons, or whatever, and it’s not just FGM matters that are concerned here. OK, so let thesr people indulge in their nasty little perversions, but NOT in the UK, and NOT where the UK taxpayer has to pick up the pieces.

    I don’t know anymore,I don’t understand it any more, what is up with you people, have you be blinded or something and deaf? In public schools Islamic prayers and learning the Qur’an. (the PC (does not accept
    the word Qur’an, if it is not written with a capital letter Q). I don’t believe this all, it is like I am living in a
    total mental disturbed world, and actually I have come to the conclusion that I am. And doesn’t that matter to any leftist or globalist? These are your children and grandchildren. I always thought that parents would fight and come up for their children, but may be I lived in a different world and did not know it, but I am flabbergasted.
    I hope America will be saved, but to be honest, the `USA has made a lot of mistakes too, but so have all governments. But there has to be a time where we should come together and become better people. We have had all the crimes now that you can imagine. It has to stop now , or else, it will not be so nice
    and we all know that, but if we do not choose violent solutions, but you can not take over our countries.
    There is no way. All this comes from all the hate that has accumulated trough the last 50 years or more
    and swept under the carpet, comes out now and has to play out as we have to become a new world, and we can not start a new world unless the old hate has to be cleaned and forgiven, otherwise the future, which is now anyway will look very bleak. I sound probably like a minister, but that is not my goal, my goal is that it has to stop, and all the crimes too. That is my wish and I guess the wish of more people. So be it and so it is. A good day and to some of the same world a good night.

      Are you high on something or what? What do you mean “All this comes from all the hate that has accumulated trough the last 50 years or more and swept under the carpet”? What hate are you referring to? Swept under the carpet by whom and where? Why 50 years and not 100 or 200 or 14,000? You go on “…(it) comes out now and has to play out as we have to become a new world, and we can not start a new world unless the old hate has to be cleaned”. What old hate has to be cleaned? Who do you propose should do the cleaning? How do you propose doing going about the cleaning? And just what new world do you envision with what set of norms?

      If you are somehow suggesting that Islam, with its heavy handed subjugation, will bring about utopia, then you are doomed to disappointment. Christianity, which preaches true peace and forgiveness, has always struggled to harnass the human tendencies for violence, narcissism and greed. To suppose that Islam, which scripturalizes hate, violence, discrimination and blood, will do a better job is a pure crack dream.

    “Not a single prosecution.”

    Nor will there be until Islam is very publicly and accurately described for the south end of the metaphorical alimentary canal of major religions which it surely is.

    Not there yet. Not even close to “there” yet.

    Should be by now though. Ain’t. Damn shame. No excuse for this monumental and suicidal politically correct and multicultural idiocy.

      We need to force the de-frocking of Islam as a religion.

      It meets all of the qualifiers for a cult, including the BIGGIE (which most cults do not meet), human sacrifice.

      It is only still called a religion because the leftists have decided to be buddies with the Muslims (Satan and Allah have so much in common), and the lefties control the media.

      So let’s get rid of the Islam’s protection of being classed as a religion, and then we can really start cleaning up this horrendous, heinous nest of vipers.

        Islam is a religion–it is just an evil and false religion.

        • Jeanette says

          Mar 16, 2017 at 12:04 am

          So you are familiar with the 15 or 16 qualifiers used to determine if a group is a cult?

          Islam meets every one of those qualifiers, including one that most cults do NOT meet – human sacrifice.

          Islam is a cult.

        • gravenimage says

          Mar 16, 2017 at 5:15 pm

          I am familiar with this. Jeanette. I think just given Islam’s sheer size that it has to be considered a religion.

          I am *no* fan of Islam, and consider it completely evil. But it has been acknowledged as a religion for centuries, and I don’t think we are going to get anywhere trying to get it downgraded to a cult.

          And it is not just Leftists who consider Islam to be a religion–it was regarded as a religion for centuries by Christians and conservatives who openly hated Islam and considered it a false faith.

          Also, there is no official organization that designates beliefs as either cults or religions, so this would have to be a general appeal to people to change their views of Islam as a religion, and I’m not sure we’d gain all that much even if ultimately successful.

          I think it is more important to educate people about the evils of Islam, whether they then choose to consider it an evil religion or an evil cult.

          We can certainly disagree, of course.

    It’s all very important, but in England we have slightly different problems, where the general population is concerned.

    The economist Noreena Hertz studied and interviewed 2,000 English teenagers over a period of 18 months. Mrs. Hertz was horrified by the result, and referred to the entire generation as the ‘Generation K’. Why ‘K’?

    (should anyone be interested in this… I post it anyway!)

    ‘K’ as per Katniss Everdeen, “The Hunger Games”.

    She found the following: There is a general fear of impending commercial/economic war, everybody against everybody else. Jake (16) said: “Our lives are hard. A struggle. I believe it will be much harder for us than for our parents, but we cannot give up.”

    Is he talking nonsense? Mrs. hertz found that 17% of high school leavers contemplated suicide. 79% are worried that they get a job at all, never mind one that they want, or for which they obtained the required qualifications. 72% express being terrified of the cost of education, and not just “student loans”. Once you complete your educational CV, you will be indebted by approx £44,650.00 on average – nice one, no?

    They were to identify themselves and their lives with symbolic pictures; they went for chains, ropes and bars. Jake compared the debt load with a cage from which there is no escape. Think about it, you leave school or uni and are indebted to the tune of £35k to £70k… Your first annual income? If you are lucky and get a job, 8k to 15k.

    According to Noreena Hertz they are extremely suspicious about Google, Apple and Facebook – to the same extent as they are about big Banks and other such outfits. They are frightened about the data collection that is course de rigour with large companies, if you surf the web a pay for a pound of apples with you plastic.

    Compact magazine concluded: Generation K can be found all over Europe. It’s the first generation to grow up in a postsocial- neoliberal state. Removing all safety nets may be total freedom, but it also destroys confidence and hammers the soul.

    • gravenimage says

      Mar 11, 2017 at 9:00 pm

      Britain has *hardly* removed all safety nets. And while the socialist state can certainly understandably engender pessimism, DFD, the fact that so many youth are feeling so hopeless in what is still a country where there is still great opportunity is, in fact, a great part of the problem.

      Westerners are too apt to give up, rather than fighting for their futures.

      By the way, Katniss–the character in the Hunger Games–certainly was willing to fight for a better world.

        Graven,

        Thank you for criticising and correcting me, but you really should read what I have said, ***all of it***. Then you would have noticed that it wasn’t I, but an article by a Lady by name of Noreena Hertz.

        So, if you wish to criticise and to correct her with your wisdom and understanding, go to: https://search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?p=+Noreena+Hertz&ei=UTF-8&hspart=mozilla&hsimp=yhs-002

        You will find even her personal contact details there, there you can correct her. I have no doubt she will abandon her research and delete the data and interviews she made over the last 18 months, so as to comply with your lecture. If you look at all the articles about her, she is obviously a fool standing in need of your correction. So go on, help her.

        Incidentally, you said: “Britain has *hardly* removed all safety nets…” Perhaps you should come over here. For young people in the education circuit there are no safety nets, non_what_so_ever! They have to pay, between 45,000 and up to 70,000 Pnds, then they get a higher education. And if they can’t pay, they have to take a loan, and will be in a debt trap! It is not their fault nor is it the fault of their attitude, as you imply so snugly – it is real!

        “Hardy removed safety net”? You have no idea what the hell you are talking about. I am sorry to have to put it like that. Yes, there is a generous safety net – if you are non-white. We have elderly people dying in wintertime of cold, they have that, to quote you “still great opportunity” not to heat, because they can’t afford it! It’s called:

        **fuel poverty**!
        ============.

        Go to: search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?p=fuel+poverty+england&ei=UTF-8&hspart=mozilla&hsimp=yhs-002

        Should make you feel even more snug. Any good advise for those people, mostly pensioners (they must be socialist)? Perhaps they should exercise instead of sleeping, that will keep them warm and fit in addition. Oh those socialists, even elderly Tories fall into that category, they saved in pension funds, and these have been plundered, looted. And now they are being badmouthed by the MSM as those ‘spendthrift baby boomers’. And the comments are that they simply should have saved even more monies – to be plundered.

        Of course we are a land with “still great opportunity”, particularly if you live in London, and are in the service industry, from banking to housing development and ownership. A single bedsit, one room with a bed in it and cooking facility, plus chemical or shared toilet, in the inner London area: **ONLY** £500.00 plus (~$600+) per month. Income for a young, highly indebted, *professional* after completion of education? Between £800.- and £1,500.– per month. Income for ordinary workers? Hahahahah… Stay at home! WHAT A GREAT OPPORTUNITY! And those bloody socialists complain – instead of being grateful for such wonderful opportunities… They must be Nazis!

        …“still great opportunity” you say? Theresa May, D Cameron and T Blair will wholeheartedly agree with you. No doubt. As will the Telegraph… On the other hand, even Rupert Murdoch’s ‘Sun’ is p…d off about it.

        Further: “…By the way, Katniss–the character in the Hunger Games–certainly was willing to fight for a better world…” I couldn’t give a sh.t about a movie! And, I am sure, neither do the kids forced into a debt trap. Nor the old who die of cold, occasionally it’s just a few dozen a year… Upheld by smart alecs giving cosy advice.

        To finalize, please, please do let me know how you went on with Ms. Hertz, and how she takes or took to your corrections and commenting of her 18 month of research. And your dismissal of her data and interviews.

        Thank you!

        BTW: We, England were never a socialist state! Though, we were once a free republic, under Cromwell…. Oh dear.

          Well, that’s just sarcastic. I have no interest in “correcting” her.

          She is certainly correct about the negative effects of large amounts of debt–to individuals and to nations. I find her anti-Capitalism stance much less persuasive. As a rule, it has been societies that have embraced free trade that do well economically.

          But there are many writers who take a similar stance, such as Naomi Klein.

          I never said the safety net provided free education–just that welfare in Britain is more extensive than in the US.

          DFD, I grew up in poverty on welfare in an abusive home, and was living on the street when applying to university.

I have volunteered at Church soup kitchens and holiday gift give-aways.

          Your idea that I am sneering at needy people is quite mistaken.

          To finalize, please, please do let me know how you went on with Ms. Hertz, and how she takes or took to your corrections and commenting of her 18 month of research. And your dismissal of her data and interviews.
          ……………………………..

          As I noted, I have no intention of “correcting” Ms. Hertz. We have similar anti-Capitalist writers here.

          More:

          BTW: We, England were never a socialist state! Though, we were once a free republic, under Cromwell…. Oh dear.
          ……………………………..

          Not completely–no. But England has certainly been more socialistic than has the US.

          More:

          PS:

          Sorry for the harshness of my response.
          ……………………………..

          No problem.

          More:

          But you have no idea what you said in your reply, or implied. To thousands upon thousands of English people.
          ……………………………..

          My mother was English. My aunt and cousins and their families are all English, and live in England. Though I may have missed a few things, I am familiar with most of the social problems there–including, of course, the fast increasing Jihad threat, which I still consider one of the greatest threats to English people and their way of life.

          Anyway, thanks for your reply.

      What a lot of cobblers.

      Probably these children are depressed because they have been educated in a school system completely dominated by the hard left and they have been indoctrinated with ghastly left wing outlook and policies since starting at primary school.

      Get the politics out of the school system and this includes getting the Islamisation of schools stopped and re-introduce more sports and energetic games days. Get competition going again, this should shake them out of their self pitying lethargy.

        I agree with this completely. One of my sons was diagnosed with clinical depression. “They” had a good talk to him, Dr put him on useless tablets. To cut a long story short it seems that as a white male he and other students were continually put down by the system. Happy ending, I his father had a talk to him, threw away the tablets and he is now a successful businessman.

      I don’t know whether members in the UK are clued in. Do any Britons here know?

  10. Stan Lee says

    The UK has had the blindness to encourage Muslim migration to its homeland, and so it (UK) has received and welcomed one strong dose of Islam into what was once upon a time, a Christian nation.
    As British secularism has grown, seemingly in large numbers, so has British preoccupation with anything but the legacy of British history that made Great Britain a great nation. Perhaps that absence of historical recognition caused the renaming of the nation to “United Kingdom.”

    It could have been a good restart, except that it backfired as observances of the Christian nation fell flat to be replaced and there went the strength of a nation that, only a few years before fought a Nazi military, its regular bombings of a great British people who would not give an inch to Hitler, and galvanized themselves to take Hitler’s war and invasion schemes to him and “Nazi Fortress Europe.”

    By the time that land became the “UK,” and was teeming with Islamic imports, what those “imports” immediately noticed of the British was that they had waived interest in a deity, which Muslims perceived as a weakness of the British people who could be easily overcome. And, that is exactly what is happening! I think I can reckon what Muslims in Britain are thinking about any law designed to stop certain ugly practices via Muslim religious culture.

    They are not only thinking it, but scoffing at a regulation in force to prevent “FGM.” Their defense of their practice will be that their religion requires such circumcisions, whether a child is male or female.
    They will also suggest that any people who no longer believe in their God have no business dictating to religious Muslims what religious rite they cannot have performed on their Muslim children.

    These Muslim rites are attendant to those who worship Allah. It will take more than British politeness and political correctness to stop such practices in Britain. And, if not done in Britain, then outside of Britain. And, if not allowed in any other country if the Muslim family is British, then we are back to the “old days” when births and circumcisions were done in less sterile places such as one’s own home.

    Britain, I honestly feel terrible about your plight, your laws have been tossed back in your faces as those who don’t regard your laws dare you to stop their practices. They dare you because all you’ve shown them is softness and weakness. They read you like an open book and British leftist orientation
    does nothing to insist that laws will be observed or memorable consequences will be levied.

    Your UK isn’t beyond reclaim, after all you could be Sweden, France, or Germany, all with the most minute hope. The English Channel was and still is a blessing, and so is Brexit. They both are advantages for British exercise of law to be observed by all British, whether native born or naturalized.
    It would require the will of the British electorate, you could consider a return to your churches and please do not grimace at the suggestion, the Lord forgives those who want a restart.

    Let us not behave as if there is no problem in your land, it is unavoidably obvious.
    As a schoolkid during WW2, and a bit of an artist in my own mind (?), I had taken one of my loose-leaf book covers and painted with red,white,and blue enamel and very fine brushes, something that started a trend in the school I attended. Almost all of the other kids followed my idea, or asked me to do the same on their loose-leaf book covers. Those words that had excited a whole elementary school of American kids were; “There Will Always Be An England”, followed by Scotland, Wales, and No Ireland.
    That was 1940, before the USA entered that war as a combatant. I was ten years of age. We “believed” because we saw that you all believed in your nation Your belief was beautifully encouraging.
    There was never a doubt of British nationalism and love of country and there were forty-eight U.S. states back then, and everywhere in those states was admiration for British folks who stood strong and would never quit.

      Stan,

      Thanks for your words, they are measured, accurate but don’t cross any lines or say anything unacceptable. I think the problem we often have (and I’m not saying it is the case here) is that websites that are right leaning become peppered with comments such as, “send them all home” etc. This turns off the centre left and centre right citizens whose support we need to defend ourselves against Islamisation. I don’t believe any Westerner wouldn’t abhor FGM. It is a terrible thing. We need to identify what NHS treatment costs are to the population as a whole. It then becomes our business not “somebody else’s problem.”

      When the public rallies support we need to lobby for compulsory prosecution of every guardian of any female who has been subject to FGM regardless of whether there is any evidence that the act itself took place in the U.K. We need to do what is being done to us. Recognise their weaknesses and apply pressure.

      We need to become organised

  13. gravenimage says

    Mar 11, 2017 at 8:11 pm

    UK: 5,500 cases of FGM in 2016 alone, not a single prosecution
    …………………….

    My understanding is that there was only one case ever brought to legal action at all–and this was a very iffy case aimed at a non-Muslim doctor in 2015:

    “First FGM prosecution: how the case came to court”

    https://www.theguardian.com/society/2015/feb/04/first-female-genital-mutilation-prosecution-dhanuson-dharmasena-fgm

    Dr. Dharmasena re-infibulated a woman who had given birth, on the demands of her family. Infibulated women who are *not* re-infibulated are often rejected by their husbands and families, or even “Honor Killed”.

    One can question whether Dr. Dharmasena should have acted as he did, certainly– but the core of the case is that he *did not* mutilate this woman, who had *already* been mutilated back in her native Somalia at the age of about seven.

    That this is the *only* case that has been pursued–when little girls are being mutilated by their Muslim parents in Britain, or sent back to Dar-al-Islam to have it done there, virtually every day shows what a miscarriage of justice this was.

    As of now, not a *single* case has been prosecuted in Britain–and girls continue to be mutilated with impunity.

      Agree with guest. Teachers pointing out how bad Muslims are in his school or society … even if 100% verifiable … will be hounded out of his/her job into early retirement. Teachers have to allow themselves to be bullied and persecuted by Muslims.

    A Prayer to Mother Earth

    And the Earth became infected with the vile Muslim.
    The skies were dark with soot and the smell of death.
    And people lived in fear.
    Grain did not grow and the animals were sick.

    And it came to pass, the Earth saith:
    “I am sick and my life is unhappy when the Muslim walks on my land and breathes my air.
    All good men, find the Muslim and strike him at the neck, of all Muslims!
    Smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them.
    Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war,
    to strike terror into the hearts of the vile Muslim.
    Some ye slew, and some ye make prisoners.
    Destroy their dwellings!
    Destroy their seed that no Muslim shall be born unto the Earth.”

    If the dirty Muslims hides behind a rock or tree, the rock or tree will cry out:
    “Come! Look here! See the dirty Muslim hiding! Come and smite him.
    For surely they are sons and daughters of Pigs and Monkeys!”

    And the Muslim fled like a crazy man with fear in his eyes and terror in his mind!
    But he was not swift enough.
    For the Earth found and catch every one of the vile Muslim.
    And the Muslim was struck at his neck.
    And the Muslim blood flowed like the river Nile.
    Until all Muslims on Earth were smited.

    And Lo, Behold.
    The world became clean and the air fresh when the Muslims were no more.

    And the Earth was happy.
    And people lived in peace and the Earth was good.

    In the name of our Mother Earth,
    For ever and ever,

    Amen

    • Frank Courtney says

      Mar 12, 2017 at 8:43 am

      Not everyone in Great Britain is lacking backbone, present writer included. Wanting a “quiet life” does not include standing by and watching a malevolent, alien ideology taking over one’s country. Life will become increasingly noisy and dangerous but, as they have shown many times before, the British have the necessary vertebral strength to defend their way of life with indefatigable courage.

      Islam’s minions are now poking the sleeping British Lion with their little sticks but if they carry on they will awaken the giant and it will devour them.

      Do not do as the Islam followers do and mistake British reserve, tolerance, forbearance, decency and sense of fairness for weaknesses. As others have discovered in the past these characteristics have definite limits.

        Unfortunately the Muslims have exploited the innate decency of the English to parade their anti British marches, demonstrate, infiltrate schools, take over local Councils and thoroughly exploit and abuse the benefits system.

        It is a long overdue reform to cut child benefits to two children per family. This would greatly reduce the dependence on having large families to support themselves without actually doing any work.

        Years ago children had regular medical check ups in State schools, this should be re-introduced to detect and crack down on FGM. Any families doing it should be deported back to where they originated.

      The problem in Britain is the problem all average westerners have: Their elites are globalists who have figured out that the Muslims can help them accomplish one of the goals of U.N. Agenda 2030 – to reduce the earth’s population to only 1/2 billion people.

      Apparently those elites, who think they are so illuminated, aren’t bright enough to see that they will be some of The Eliminated.

    This is a major test of a civilisations commitment to human decency, a test that we have failed. Female Genital Mutilation (clitoral removal/sometimes including additional genital hacking and sowing) ought to be attracting the type of moral condemnation and action that the issue of Slavery was met with back in the 19th Century.

    A lucky slave, if circumstances were right, could obtain her freedom and live out a normal reproductive married life with all her genitals in tact; the little girls who we a condemning through our complicit inaction are scarred for life, sexual cripples, ignored because their voices are so faint.

    We do not deserve to get any forgiveness from these girls throughout their adult lives. Imagine for a moment if instead of the clitoris being removed a finger were removed instead; would we still be hiding our heads in the sand, behaving as if nothing were going on? Perhaps that’s part of the picture, the clitoris is quite small and hidden away and therefore the crime is well and truly out of sight.

    Of one thing I’m certain, whoever steps up and effectively crusades to stop this evil and silent crime against many of our young girls in the Civilised World will one day receive the highest recognition for service to the community that their nation has to offer.

    Last year I watched the parliment channel on freeview, here in the uk, it was at the house of lords and they were debating law relatnig to FGM.

    One non muslim female TRAITOR, said words to the effect that the law was unfortunate because all that needed addressing was education, because she said, FGM was nothing to do with islam.

    Thats right, the stupid woman TRAITOR was parroting the lies from her evil muslamic friends doing their warfare lying.

    Our leaders mostly though I think cannot now be that ignorant, in general about islams actual teachings because of all the information pointing to the muslims mainstream books, PROVING they are lying about its teachings and agenda.

    I think now it is mostly our leaders COWARDICE, more important than admitting they had been deceived and taking steps before its too late for us,

    Mar 13, 2017 at 3:38 pm

    There is no prosecution because the UK has decided to make it easy for the newly-arrived hordes of Muslims to assimilate. Wouldn’t want them to feel out of place, would you?

    This action is done by choice. It is not a case of busy bureaucrats not having time to look into it.

    It is de facto establishment of Sharia law. The UK already has an established religion: the Church of England. The new religion will replace the old one. When the cross of St George on the flag is replaced by a crescent moon with a star, the transformation will be complete.
