“Federal contractors in Tennessee have been resettling refugees from countries including Somalia, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Liberia, Nigeria and Sudan, listed in the PRB report as among the ‘Top 10 Countries of Origin’ where FGM is practiced.”
Did those federal contractors think that after bringing all those refugees into Tennessee that they would not see a rise in the incidence of FGM in Tennessee? No doubt they never gave it a moment’s thought at all.
“U.S. based pediatrician and fellow at the American Academy of Pediatrics, Dr. Hatem Elhagaly (AKA ‘Hatem Al Haj’), listed as an Assembly of Muslim Jurists of America (AMJA) ‘scholar’ issued a ‘fatwa’ (an authoritative ruling on Islamic law) in 2006, saying that Islam sanctioned FGM as ‘better for the husband’ and acknowledged that ‘the majority of the scholars regard [FGM] (preferable sunnah), some regard it allowable and some consider it wajib (obligatory)…’ but advised that because FGM is illegal in the West, it should not be performed.”
And yet it is performed. Is anyone surprised? Islam teaches that Sharia is divine law and supersedes all human laws. “Because FGM is illegal in the West, it should not be performed.” Yes. But when you have the Assembly of Muslim Jurists in America issuing a fatwa approving of FGM, you’re going to get some Muslims practicing FGM, regardless of what Western law says.
“Nashville-Murfreesboro-Franklin Metro Area One of Top 20 Places in U.S. Where Women and Girls at Risk for Female Genital Mutilation,” by Chris Alto, Tennessee Star, April 14, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Tennessee outlawed female genital mutilation (FGM) in 1996, but 2013 data collated in a Population Reference Bureau (PRB) report, shows that the Nashville-Davidson-Murfreesboro-Franklin Metropolitan Statistical Area is ranked 20th in the country for the potential risk of FGM being performed on women and girls. Tennessee is number 18 in overall state rankings for risk to women and girls from FGM.
The Population Reference Bureau is a non-profit supported financially by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Girl Scouts of the USA, and the United States Agency for International Development and several other foundations.
The Center for Disease Control (CDC) includes the terms FGM, female circumcision and female genital excision, under the broader heading of “female genital cutting:”
“Female genital cutting refers to all procedures involving partial or total removal of female genitalia or other injury to female genital organs for any cultural, religious or otherwise nontherapeutic reasons. This practice is common in many refugee populations, particularly those from East Africa (i.e. Somalia, Ethiopia, Sudan), although the practice is pervasive throughout the world. This controversial practice is considered a human rights violation by many, and it is illegal in the United States in people under 18 years of age.”
Minneapolis, Minnesota, the metropolitan area with the largest Somali community in the country, ranks number 3 in the list of top 20 metro areas for FGM. Columbus, Ohio, the metropolitan area with the second largest Somali community in the country, ranks number 7 in the list of top 20 metro areas for FGM.
In Tennessee, FGM was criminalized in 1996…
Federal contractors in Tennessee have been resettling refugees from countries including Somalia, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Liberia, Nigeria and Sudan, listed in the PRB report as among the “Top 10 Countries of Origin” where FGM is practiced.Updating 1990 FGM risk in the U.S. estimates to 2012, the Center for Disease Control 2016 Public Health Report showed that “the total number of women and girls in the United States at risk for FGM/C or its consequences increased by 224%, from 168,000 to 545,000” concluding that:
Despite being a crime in Tennessee since 1996, in 2011, twenty-one cases of FGM were reported in Tennessee. In 2012, Sen. Bill Ketron and Rep. Jeremy Faison updated the law to require that healthcare providers report cases of FGM to law enforcement.
This week, a doctor in Detroit was arrested for allegedly performing FGM on young girls brought to her from Minnesota.
U.S. based pediatrician and fellow at the American Academy of Pediatrics, Dr. Hatem Elhagaly (AKA “Hatem Al Haj”), listed as an Assembly of Muslim Jurists of America (AMJA) “scholar” issued a “fatwa” (an authoritative ruling on Islamic law) in 2006, saying that Islam sanctioned FGM as “better for the husband” and acknowledged that “the majority of the scholars regard [FGM] (preferable sunnah), some regard it allowable and some consider it wajib (obligatory)…” but advised that because FGM is illegal in the West, it should not be performed.…
Memphis cleric Yasir Qadhi, resident scholar at the Memphis Islamic Center and Dean of Academic Affairs of AlMaghrib Institute, is listed among “our experts” by the AMJA and is a regular presenter at the annual imam training conferences the organization hosts.
mortimer says
Many Muslims believe FGM is a commandment from Mohammed and this commandment is quoted in AUTHORITATIVE manuals of SHARIA LAW.
Since Sharia is DIVINE LAW, it supersedes national and state laws. Muslims are forced to break state and federal laws to be observant.
FGM is one of many things that make Islam INCOMPATIBLE with modern human rights codes. If Muslims CANNOT accept the laws of the land, they MUST BE TOLD that they will receive government assistance to LEAVE THE COUNTRY for the Islamic hell-hole of their choice where they can perform all the BARBARIC rituals of the 7th-century DEATH CULT without any legal restraint. Allah fubar.
Michael says
mortimer, i like your suggestion a lot! ‘Yes, you’ve just won a return ticket to — wait for it! — the ISLAMIC HELL HOLE OF YOUR CHOICE!
“But wait — there’s more! We’ll PAY FOR YOUR TAXI RIDE to the airport! And YOU GET A FREE ONE-WAY TICKET TO HELL … WE MEAN HOME!
“We’re not through yet, folks! Yes, once back your paradise in hell, you can BUTCHER AND MURDER AND BEAT OTHER, TORTURE EACH OTHER, TO YOUR HEART’S CONTENT!”
Now right this way, folks … onto the plane you go … there you go … SHUT THAT DOOR AND LIFT OFF, PILOT!
Frank Verderber says
When they find a husband, father, doctor or cleric that mutilates a woman, the state should take a cigar clipper to them
Paul N Silas says
If God didn’t want it there, He wouldn’t have put it there. To do this to a any person is insane torture, both in the deed and it’s aftermath.
“Insane torture” the usual from the followers of Mo the pervert.
Sam says
But they pray to Allah, fake God, so they can do anything they want like maiming little girls.
Islam is not a religion and that is the angle we should use to eradicate this menace to humanity
Shane says
Why does the USA continue the insanity of taking immigrants from backward Muslim countries like Somalia and Pakistan whose beliefs, values, and religion are incompatible with our Western values and Constitution? We need to be much more selective in what immigrants we accept, and one way to do that is to limit Chain Immigration. Go to http://www.NumbersUSA.com and see which free faxes you can send to our politicians to change our insane and suicidal immigration policies! Also, the ACLJ is a great organization that fights against the persecution of Christians in Muslim countries and more:

Nashville area one of top 20 places in US where girls are at risk for female genital mutilation
…………………….
Just sickening–we should be cracking down hard.
And more proof, I’m afraid, that the problem is not just in blue states.
Paul N Silas says
Agreed, the darkness of Islam spreads, like a cancer
Shane says
The great increase in the USA of FGM, polygamy, and honor killings can only be explained by the increase in immigration from backward Muslim countries like Somalia and Pakistan. We can and should stop all immigration from most Muslim countries except for victims of persecution. You can join NumbersUSA and the ACLJ to send free faxes to your politicians to change our insane immigration policies and to fight the persecution of Christians in Muslim countries!
Anne Smith says
Once upon a (much better) time all immigrants into the USA had to produce chest X rays to prove they were free of TB.
All immigrant females should be medically screened and any family with mutilated children or women should be sent back whence they came.
Children should be screened at school and any who are mutilated in this way should have their parents jailed or deported.
This screening should also happen in UK but no chance I’m afraid – the way things are going we should not be surprised if the Muslim community soon demand all English females submit to this. Lead the way Sharia May!!!
Messianic Fuzz says
North America turns away from God. That is why all this is happening.
Bob says
The UK is in the same self-inflicted position.
Westman says
“…saying that Islam sanctioned FGM as ‘better for the husband’”
I agree, FGM is best performed on the husband and would be better for everyone. It would end, quickly.
Paul N Silas says
The gift of sex, is one of God’s grace to mankind. Of course it’s purpose is to produce children and build a family.
The family is to be a reflection of our relation to our to our Heavenly Father/family.
It is one of the reasons that the Left is so hell bent on destroying it.
somehistory says
All true. And using the evil torture of islam and its moslim adherents to help them accomplish it.
Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
Follow the statistics in the linked-to article and you will find that the rankings for risk of female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) are arranged by absolute number of at-risk girls, which is not much better than ranking states or metropolitan statistical areas by population, not severity of risk.
And why is this article illustrated by a picture of a girl with a fly on her orange head cover? She should dip the fly in her beverage before she drinks it, so that the diseases on the fly’s left wing are counteracted by the antidotes on the fly’s right wing (so says Muhammad, pbuh).
Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
Also, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) — not the “Center for Disease Control (CDC)” — says that “the practice [of FGM/C] is pervasive throughout the world”. I never knew that FGM/C is pervasive among Koreans, Japanese, and Mongolians. Does the writer of this CDC report know what “throughout” means?
somehistory says
The former admin placed moslims in states where people had been prone to vote against them. The former admin wanted to increase the problems for the areas where the vocal and/or voting public did not approve of what the admin was doing.
Now the fruits of their evil sowing of weeds, thorns and thistles are becoming evident.
If not for the fact that these monsters have a *religion* they tout, there would be stings and undercover operations aplenty to find the criminals, arrest, indict and convict.
It’s all very devilish…in design, in deed, in fruit. satan is very busy in his last days. The devil made a people to worship him with the most painful and sadistic ways possible. There is no deed too awful and evil that he will not stoop to in order to cause pain, death, and destruction.
Terry says
But- why blame the contractors. They are doing what they are told to do.
I blame the GOVERNMENT –ESPECIALLY THE LIBERALS, AND THE PIECES OF SHIT IN THE CATHOLIC AND LUTHERAN HIERARCHIES WHO ARE USING THEIR ” CHARITABLE” DIVISIONS TO TAKE TENS IF NOT HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO BRING THESE PEOPLE HERE.
I also blame the assholes aka liberals (mostly)who welcome the refugees.
Matthieu Baudin says
“… when you have the Assembly of Muslim Jurists in America issuing a fatwa approving of FGM, you’re going to get some Muslims practicing FGM, regardless of what Western law says…”
Action needed, and urgently. The public will recognise the need to eradicate clitoral and labia butchery once the facts are brought clearly before their attention. The PC Fog and Cultural Relativist Attitudes, that prevent clarity in so many other areas, will not trump efforts to expose FGM as a fundamental universal human rights issue on an equal pedestal to slavery. Leadership from prominent women would go a long way to launching and sustaining a focus on the need to eradicate FGM; perhaps this leadership may be found within the immediate families of the President or Vice President.
Afred E. says
Where there is Islam, there is trouble……………PERIOD.
patriotliz says
Why haven’t the State Medical Boards revoked the medical licenses of these butchers and why haven’t they all been prosecuted and jailed by the various States?
