“The procedure is believed to initiate girls into adulthood and ensure their marriageability, according to Human Rights Watch, a New York nonprofit human rights organization.”
Human Rights Watch, unsurprisingly, is wrong. It’s actually done to reduce female sexual pleasure so that women are more easily controllable. This repulsive practice is justified in Islamic texts.
“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
Why is it obligatory? Because Muhammad is held to have said so: “Abu al- Malih ibn Usama’s father relates that the Prophet said: ‘Circumcision is a law for men and a preservation of honour for women.’” — Ahmad Ibn Hanbal 5:75
“Narrated Umm Atiyyah al-Ansariyyah: 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.’” — Abu Dawud 41:5251
“Do not cut severely,” but not “Do not cut.”
That’s why it is so common around the world, and why it is certain to become increasingly common in the United States.
“Detroit physician charged with mutilating girls’ genitalia,” by Robert Snell, Detroit News, April 13, 2017:
Detroit — A Detroit emergency room physician was charged Wednesday with mutilating the genitalia of two 7-year-old girls in what is believed to be the first case of its kind brought under federal law.
Jumana Nagarwala of Livonia was charged with female genital mutilation, a five-year felony, and transportation with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, a 10-year felony, according to a complaint unsealed Thursday in U.S. District Court.
“According to the complaint, despite her oath to care for her patients, Dr. Nagarwala is alleged to have performed horrifying acts of brutality on the most vulnerable victims,” Acting Assistant Attorney General Kenneth Blanco said in a statement. “The Department of Justice is committed to stopping female genital mutilation in this country, and will use the full power of the law to ensure that no girls suffer such physical and emotional abuse.”
Nagarwala was arrested Wednesday night and arraigned in federal court Thursday.
She was dressed in a light-colored, matching dress and khimar, or veil that covered her head, neck and shoulders.
Magistrate Judge Anthony Patti scheduled a detention hearing in the case for 1 p.m. Monday. Her attorney and the government will argue over whether or not Nagarwala should be held in prison while she awaits trial.
In the meantime, Nagarwala will be held in jail until Monday’s hearing.
Her attorney, Shannon Smith, who has offices in Bloomfield Hills, declined to comment on the case Thursday.
Nagarwala’s employer is not identified in court records. But a 44-year-old emergency room physician with the same name is listed on Henry Ford Health System’s website with hospital privileges in Detroit and West Bloomfield Township.
A Henry Ford spokesman confirmed that Nagarwala works for the hospital system and said she has been put on administrative leave.
“The alleged criminal activity did not occur at any Henry Ford facility,” health system spokesman David Olejarz said Thursday. “We would never support or condone anything related to this practice.”
The FBI investigation alleges Nagarwala removed clitoral skin from two girls who were brought to Detroit earlier this year, activity that violates both federal and state law regarding female genital mutilation.
Female genital mutilation is an internationally recognized violation of human rights and is popular among certain religious and cultural communities, according to the FBI. The procedure is believed to initiate girls into adulthood and ensure their marriageability, according to Human Rights Watch, a New York nonprofit human rights organization.
The practice is most common in parts of Africa, the Middle East and Asia, along with migrants from those regions, according to the World Health Organization.
Worldwide, an estimated 140 million women and girls have undergone the procedure, according to the World Health Organization. More than 3 million girls in Africa undergo the procedure each year….
Adrian says
“certain religious and cultural communities” ?
like “certain” ideologies responsible for Pearl Harbor or invading Poland?

NICE FRIENDLY SMILE. But is a Muslim really your friend? Is a Muslim allowed to be a friend?
Al-Bukhari recorded that Abu Ad-Darda’ said, “We smile in the face of some people although our hearts curse them.
Ibn Kathir and his commentary on chapter 3 verse 28 of the Quran:
“BELIEVERS ARE ALLOWED TO SHOW FRIENDSHIP TO THE DISBELIEVERS OUTWARDLY, BUT NEVER INWARDLY. For instance, Al-Bukhari recorded that Abu Ad-Darda’ said, “We smile in the face of some people ALTHOUGH OUR HEARTS CURSE THEM.”
The totalitarian nature of Sharia law can only be grasped when one appreciates how thoroughly it permeates and dictates everything in a believer’s life—including when and to whom a Muslim may smile.
Muslims are supposed to smile at a disbeliever only when they wish to deceive him.
mortimer says
Do Western Feminists think that FGM is acceptable BECAUSE MUSLIM WOMEN VOLUNTARILY DO IT based on their belief in Sharia.
Do their daughters (on who FGM is inflicted) have ALL THE FACTS ABOUT FGM, so they may make an informed choice?
Or is that the point: GIRLS DO NOT HAVE ALL THE FACTS AND THEIR CHOICE IS NOT EVEN CONSIDERED.
So Western Feminists are actually saying ‘IT ISN’T MISOGYNY OR PATRIARCHY WHEN MUSLIMS DO IT.’
Jeanette says
Most western women are probably totally unaware that Muslims are beginning to call for the butchery of ALL girls and women, not just Muslims.
For starters, Huma Abedin’s mother writes and publishes books pushing for all females worldwide to be mutilated a la Islam.
Sooz says
I suppose her daughter – Huma – has been “cut,” perhaps by her own mother????
Oliver says
Maybe that is why Huma married Weiner, a first rate perverted sicko (in my opinion). AND WHY, AFTER HILLARY LOST, she went back to him.
Oliver says
It is my opinion that Human Rights Watch went from living ip to its name to being a semi or soft lefty group.
Lots of abuses in Israel. Nary a word anout Abbas in the West Bank or Hamas in Gaza. Nothing about Hezbollah.
Critical if the US does something wrong. Never a condemnation of Cuba.
My view of them
Dave says
Progressive leader by default Liz Warren supported Islamic supremacist Keith E. Hakim (Rep. Ellison) for the leadership of the DNC . Both of these Dem leaders should have to go on record for their opinion on FGM. Liz will likely not come close to answering earnestly, but get her on record ; the more she talks the dumber she gets.
somehistory says
That face! That face! One just wants to slap it! And then give the order given by the Queen of Hearts.
She’s no doctor. She’s a snake. And that look is just like all of the other looks from these slime that claim humanity. It’s meant to be a sweet, friendly smile…but it is the beguiling (trickery, deception) grin of a snake.
Undaunted says
Yeah… off with her head.
Jeanette says
Make her wear clothing with a picture of what she does to little girls.
Several photos and drawings between 29:00 and 35:00 that I’m sure Ann Barnhardt would be glad to allow the use of:

Oliver says
Who is Ann Barnhardt?
Rebecca says
Thanks for the video site. FGM is actually called a vulvectomy if done by a Western doctor for a legitimate reason, like removing the outer sexual organs of a woman because they are cancerous. From what I’ve read, not only is there no sexual pleasure for the woman after a vulvectomy, but there is usually a lot of pain in the area from then on. The operation would be similar to removing the man’s penis, not just the foreskin like the pro-FGMs would have you believe. I think people a hundred years ago in the West knew more about the anatomy of a female than today, if I am reading the comments on this subject right.
Michael says
Jeanette, I’ve watched that. Gives a bit clearer picture of just what mutilation occurs. The brutality of it is about unspeakable — and if I remember statistics, somewhere toward 85% or more of Egyptian women are brutalized this way, and 97% of Somali women. I may have my numbers or countries off, but the idea is there: virtually all women under Islam are tortured and disfigured and dehumanized in this way. The hatred of women under Islam is pure evil. What is done to them — almost when they are young — would land anyone over here in jail — as it should land this ‘doctor’ in jail. For many many years, if not life.
ele says
I hope the reporter does a follow up about the trial and outcome. Would be interesting to see if the court goes easy on her because female circumcision is part of her religion.
john spielman says
this ‘DOCTOR” has a sweet smile but the heart of SATAN!
ele says
BTW Why is this going through the Federal courts?
StacyGirl says
The arrest was a result of an FBI investigation. How this woman was ever allowed to obtain a medical license should be part of the inquiry. Of course she’s in Detroit. Probably some insurance fraud as the girls were given medical attention due to “tummy aches.”
Isabella says
How the who thing was discovered? The story does mot say. It could help others to be whistle-blower about such a horrific action? Yike.
Jeanette says
Great Britain has had problems with this for a long time. Maybe some of our law enforcement people have been talking to some of theirs.
La La says
They should put her in jail for a very long time, child abuser. They should also put the mother that brought their daughters To her as well, all child abusers.
Sickening Islam ideology.
Jeanette says
AND the father, since the broodmare … er, mother, can’t do anything without his permission.
Anne Smith says
She should be put somewhere out of reach of any children for the rest of her life. ;If she believes in horrible stuff she will never change.
Karen says
Kudos to the Henry Ford Heath System for making an unambiguous statement against the practice of FGM.
Kudos to the DOJfor bring this case to prosecution. Funny, I never heard of any similar charges being made under the previous administration.
Isntlam says
I’m guessing she’s Muslim, but I haven’t seen anything reported yet to that effect. Does she attend a mosque? I haven’t seen it reported.
somehistory says
Read Greenfield in FrontPageMag.
StacyGirl says
The Greenfield piece at FP Mag will make you sick. Remember when the terrorists at San Bernadino slaughtered those state employees? I watched the news reports live. No names, no background. But Gateway Pundit was already giving us the lowdown on Tafsheen Malik– names, religion, quickie visa. And some journo- list was hoping the killers’ names were John and Jane Smith. Even Fox held back the names. What is in it for these professional know nothings?
Matthieu Baudin says
Congratulations to the Detroit authorities for pushing ahead with charges against this doctor. Let’s see more prosecutions, of anyone involved in any way with this disgusting and brutal practice that belongs in the rubbish bin of history alongside slavery and ‘religiously sanctioned’ rape. A national data base should be established to seek out this most serious form of child sexual abuse in order to put an end to it quickly and decisively. The President’s daughter would be a fine person to lead the charge.
BLC says
I could see FGM if there were any medical reason for it, but there is no medical reason for this procedure. One would think that since God made women, it is more than a little presumptuous of followers of Islam to come along and say, “Well, we know that God made women like this, but, we know better than God does, so we’re going to just cut off the parts that offend us.” It’s just preposterous!
mortimer says
The ‘reason’ for FGM is tradition and control. It’s a way women submit to the patriarch.
Jeanette says
AND Muslims enjoy inflicting terror, torture, pain and death. (Many of the young girls do not survive, due to infection.)
They also refuse to stun animals before killing them, because stunning them would take away most of the fun for the Muslim killers.
Brigitte Bardot has gone to jail several times and paid heavy fines for objecting to the Muslims slitting the throats of hundreds of thousands of sheep and goats on Paris streets for their delightful Eid massacre.
BLC says
They are truly barbarians. They should be wiped from the face of the earth like the plague.
Anne Smith says
Good old Bardot – hope she keeps on going.
billdeserthills says
Does anyone really need any further proof that these people have failed to assimilate?
Send them all packing
chris says
This is common practice in the UK and as far as I am aware there have been no prosecutions
However there are organisations in the UK collecting money to stop FGM in other countries………..???
Jeanette says
I thought that it was not only illegal to mutilate girls in the UK at one time, but even illegal to take them to a Muslim country to have it done there.
Maybe the law is just not being enforced?
Anne Smith says
It is illegal but no-one is bothering to enforce it. How do they know – many of the children go to Muslim friendly schools under the influence of Islam and it is all hidden from sight.
There are no longer the state medical inspections which used to be the regular routine in GB.
Bureaucrats and state employees are more concerned to be seen as Muslim friendly than in observing the letter of the law.
As in Rotherham.
Oliver says
ONE CANNOT FAULT THE BRITISH POLICE FOR NOT ENFORCING LAWS.
JUST THIS WEEK ( APRIL 10-14, 2017) THE BRITISH POLICE ARRESTED A 73 OR SO YEAR OLD WOMAN FOR THE HEINOUS, DEATH PENALTY DESERVED (SARC) CRIME:
NOT RETURNING SOCCER BALLS THAT NEIGHBORING CHILDREN (I GUESS-KICKED) INTO HER GARDEN AND BROKE HER FLOWER POTS.
I mean, a 73 or more year old woman is a true menace to society.
THE BRITISH POLICE, HOWEVER, UPHELD THE LAW
jethari says
She belongs to a muslim sect called the Bohras. They are prevalent in the Indian State of Gujarat and also in Mumbai. Although they are educated (this bitch is a doctor), they continue to practice FGM. FGM among their community in Mumbai is rampant and they are fighting tooth and nail to legalize it. I hope they put her in jail and throw away the key.
utis says
Aww, poor kid! She’s just following the orders of her religion. Just following orders.
Jeanette says
I seem to recall a lot of Nazis saying that same thing.
Oliver says
And they still hung after the Nuremberg trials.
Troybeam says
This only proves that Islam has no regards for the laws of America or any other nation, this DR. got caught, think of how many more out there that are performing this surgery and think of all the AUNTS brought over to perform this as well.
The Koran states that all women have this surgery, why because Mohammed hated women, he may have had wives but he still hated them, the ultimate death, being fed a slow death by a Jewish wife taken after battle, she got even by killing Mohammed.
mortimer says
Sharia law as ‘divine law’ is above national laws and supersedes them, so Muslims will try to break national laws if they believe they can avoid arrest and jail.
Troybeam says
Islamic Law on Female Circumcision
There is a lot of controversy on the issue of Female Circumcision or Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). It is prohibited by law in most Westen Countries since it is a horrendous and cruel procedure that women are forced so suffer in many countries, particularly in North East Africa. It has a long tradition that goes back way before the time of Islam. It is practiced in varying degrees (see the links in this section). In Egypt the practice dates back even to the the time of the Pharaohs and it is sadly performed by people of different religious backgrounds. In discussions about this topic, Muslims usually insist that this practice is a cultural issue, and it is not religiously mandated by Islam.
The following quotation is taken from Reliance of the Traveller, Revised edition, amana publications, Beltsville, 1997. The title page informs us that this book is
The Classic Manual of Islamic Sacred Law ‘Umdat al-Salik
by Ahmad ibn Naqib al-Misri (d. 769/1368) in Arabic with
Facing English Text, Commentary, and Appendices
Edited and Translated by Nuh Ha Mim Keller
In this book, in the section titled “THE BODY”, we find on page 59 the following entry:
Nuh Hah Mim Keller’s Translation Arabic Original
e4.3 Circumcision is obligatory (O: for both men and women. For men it consists of removing the prepuce from the penis, and for women, removing the prepuce (Ar. Bazr) of the clitoris (n: not the clitoris itself, as some mistakenly assert). (A: Hanbalis hold that circumcision of women is not obligatory but sunna, while Hanafis consider it a mere courtesy to the husband.)”
The above used abbreviations mean:
A: … comment by Sheikh ‘Abd al-Wakil Durubi
Ar. Arabic
n: … remark by the translator
O: … excerpt from the commentary of Sheikh ‘Umar Barakat
However what the Arabic actually says is:
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 clitoris
(this is called HufaaD). {bold emphasis ours}
The Arabic word bazr does not mean “prepuce of the clitoris”, it means the clitoris itself (cf. the entry in the Arabic-English Dictionary). The deceptive translation by Nuh Hah Mim Keller, made for Western consumption, obscures the Shafi’i law, given by ‘Umdat al-Salik, that circumcision of girls by excision of the clitoris is mandatory. This particular form of female circumcision is widely practiced in Egypt, where the Shafi’i school of Sunni law is followed.

Carolyne says
Several years ago the American Pediatric Association recommended that doctors just make a small symbolic nick on young girls’ clitoris so that the Muslim parents would be satisfied. There was a loud outcry about it and the APA quickly backed down and withdrew their recommendation. This shows, even some years ago, that Muslims had infiltrated every segment of our society.
Lioness says
What is this “Human Rights Watch” that gives a pass to FGM, calling it something benign like “initiates a girl to adulthood”. Sounds so pleasant like a coming out party for a debutante. Well, they are in New York, so it doesn’t surprise me that they fully promote Islam, but even for NY this statement is rather shocking.
Anne says
She should have her medical license withdrawn!
Mark D says
Or, if it hasn’t already been doen to her, perform the same procedure on Nagarwala.
Pigs be upon Him says
the AMA is yet to make any statements about FGM, so sad
Messianic Fuzz says
Sick twisted demon possessed doctor. God will deal with you.
marie cameron says
Sick perverted bloody monster I hope she dies an agonising death with absolutely
no pain opioids.
Child abuse!
Michael says
Child abuse, torture, brutality, sadism, evil … pick your terms for it. Done to ‘initiate girls into adulthood’? No. It’s done to subjugate, dehumanize, and initiate them into a life of slavery and rape. Done to ‘reduce sexual pleasure’? Why would you do that to anyone? To brutalize, destroy, control, degrade.
Phil McDonald says
As always,thank you for your thoughtful research and devotion to facts.
