FGM doesn’t really have any economic or health benefits. Al-Maligi is just making excuses. The real reason why he favors it is because it is Islamic:
“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
He thinks that if there is no female genital mutilation, there will be a “collapse of morals” because the whole idea of it is to destroy a woman’s sexual pleasure so that she can be easily controlled. It’s quintessentially barbaric.
“Egyptian Cleric: Female Circumcision Has Economic Benefits; Jews Fight It in Keeping with Protocols of the Elders of Zion,” MEMRI, March 27, 2017:
Egyptian cleric Abd Al-Wahhab Al-Maligi maintained that there were economic and health benefits to female circumcision. Speaking on the Egyptian Al-Seha Wal-Jamal TV channel on March 27, he said that the Jews were the first to talk about it because “they do not want Islam or the Muslims to be pure, developed, and civilized,” and cited “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion” in support of his argument.
Abd Al-Wahhab Al-Maligi: ”I will talk to you about female circumcision, from the medical, religious, economic, and historical perspectives. So lend me your hearts and ears.
[…]
”The discussion about female circumcision goes back to the past century. The first time that this subject was debated extensively was in the past century. Who were the first to talk about it? The Jews. They do not want Islam or the Muslims to be pure, developed, and civilized, so they started talking about it.
[…]
”In The Protocols of the Elders of Zion it is written: ‘We must strive for the collapse of morals, so that it will be easier for us to dominate the world.’
[…]
”They tell you that female circumcision causes infertility. Says who? How can female circumcision cause infertility?! Egyptian women are circumcised, yet they give birth more than all the other mothers in the world. Allah be praised! So how can this cause infertility? It is the uncircumcised women of Europe who are infertile. Allah be praised!
[…]
”Are there any economic benefits to female circumcision? Yes! What are the economic benefits of female circumcision? Female circumcision is a preventive medical measure. Someone who is uncircumcised will be afflicted with many serious diseases, which we will discuss later, Allah willing. Someone who contracts one of these diseases must spend money, and the state must spend money on his treatment, and so on. But we can save all this money and direct it elsewhere. So this constitutes preventive medicine.”
Dave says
LOL ! Since when did muslims have any morals ?
mortimer says
Dave asked if Muslims have morals? They have amorals. Islam is opportunistic. What is opportunistic and inconsistent is not moral.
patriotliz says
Couldn’t stop laughing either…when he said “lend me your hearts and your ears”…he meant that literally.
This is a perfect example where “religious beliefs” and “morals” can be totally repugnant under OUR Western concepts of “freedom of religion” and OUR “morals.” “Religion” has to be legally re-defined….preferably to exclude anything Islamic.
IQ al Rassooli says
Muslim clerics spend their life concocting Conspiracy Theories and after repeating them 10 times start believing them.
Again I am willing to wager $100,000 to the first Muslim who has TWO brain cells of LOGIC when addressing Theology, History & Politics from among 1,500,000,000 followers of Muhammad
After all they claim the following (only a few examples from thousands of others):
Muhammad was Purer than Jesus and greater than both Abraham & Moses
Muhammad was the most PERFECT man ever created
Allah their god is the same as the God of the Bible
Muslims INVENTED the concept of ZERO
Muslims were the founders of Astronomy, Mathematics, Biology, Botany and Chemistry
After all, Muhammad’s Quran contains ALL knowledge including ‘string theory’
That is why the ‘despicable’ Jews (only 0.2% of humanity) have garnered 20% of Nobel Prizes while Muslims (20% of Humanity) were able to achieve the astronomical figure of 0.2% of Nobel prizes!
Throughout 1400 years of history the only legacies Muslims can be proud of are Death, Plunder, Occupation, Enslavement, Subjugation and Terror and they continue today as we witness on a daily basis all over the world

Kafir & Proud!
Darryl Kerney says
yes, the many “great accomplishments” of muslims were in fact mostly made by those who were forced to convert after being conquered, along with the ideas stolen from kafir thinkers.
as anyone who has read about the history of astronomy, mathematics and science knows,
the concept of Zero and our supposedly “arabic” numerals actually come from India, the muslims simply adopted them and claimed them as their own.
and your claim about jews being awarded far more Nobel prizes than muslims despite being far fewer in number is correct, i looked it up on the official Nobel Prize website myself, also interesting is that one of the very few muslims to win one was none other than the psychotic terrorist and inventor of the palestinian myth himself, Yasser Arafat, who ordered terror attacks while at the “peace” talks table and rejected any solution to the “palestinian” problem that didn’t grant annihilation of Israel and extermination of the jews with the “palestinians” being granted the entirety of “palestine”, from the “river to the sea”.
kangi_yotaka says
There have been good Peace Prize winners – deKlerk, Walesa, Wiesel, etc. But there have been plenty who have done little but talk (Yusufzai, Obama) and some who are just bad, like Arafat.
Darryl Kerney says
indeed there have, Arafat getting one is a disgrace to those who really did deserve it.
gravenimage says
kangi_yotaka, there have only been seven serious Muslim Nobel Prize winners, and they were all “heretics” or basically apostates.
Terry says
I was taught ( this was before the Muslim invasion) that they did invent the concept of ZERO, and was their only real accomplishment.
I had never heard about their claims for the others (biology, chemistry, etc).
gravenimage says
Zero was invented by Indian Hindus, Terry.
Terry says
Thank you. Not being sarcastic, but meaning it- you are a fountain of knowledge and trivia.
gravenimage says
Thank you so much, Terry–I have learned a great deal from other posters here as well. 🙂
Carolyne says
But they can only prove to have two brain cells by cutting open the skull and looking inside, which, BTW is not a bad idea when it comes to Muslims.
The concept of “Zero” was invented prior to Islam. I believe by Arabs, but they were not Muslim at the time.
IQ al Rassooli says
Carolyn
Arabs NEVER invented anything
ZERO was an Indian (Hindu) concept that the Muslim Arabs borrowed and as usual CLAIMED they invented it!
Muslims are best at Death Destruction Rape Pillage Plunder Enslavement and STEALING ideas from OTHERS!

Darryl Kerney says
Zero was conceived in India.

“Someone who is uncircumcised will be afflicted with many serious diseases, which we will discuss later, Allah willing.”
Discuss later? Well, OK. I’ll wait, if you write “SPEEDY” on your hat.

And what else do they care If they have camels that provide them with milk and urine to cure all diseases … even cancer.
Carolyne says
So Mohammed was some kind of surgeon who had seen and treated these many diseases afflicting complete women who had not been mutilated? And does this guy have any medical background to even speak on the subject?
Mohammed was an illiterate desert dweller who eloped with his boss’s wife and when they returned he said they had only been with an angel who gave them this wonderful new religion. I guess the boss, who was an owner of camels, bought it because later Mohammed married the boss’s wife.
Karen says
Yes, I wondered about that too, if he ‘discussed later’ the details. LOL, I’m guessing ‘nope’.
“Someone who is uncircumcised will be afflicted with many serious diseases…” This reminds me a bit of the POS doctors in Michigan, who performed FGM on some girls recently “to get the germs out”. The doctors, and the parents of these girls, were willing to fill the girls’ heads with lies about imagined health benefits that would result from submitting to this regressive practice. These girls may always associate an unmutilated body with uncleanness and impurity.
Westman says
Preventative medicine? Then it must be proper hygiene to chop of his equivalent, because it certainly is a transmitter of disease.
How can Muslims listen to such incredibly stupid ventriloquists who preach ignorance and make it appear to come from the mouth of their god? It does not speak well for them or Allah.

Egypt: Muslim cleric says Jews oppose female genital mutilation because they want “collapse of morals”
……………………………
In other words, women being rendered incapable of having pleasure and then raped is what passes for “morality” in Islam. *Ugh*.
Darryl Kerney says
no kidding !
his claims are so full holes it boggles the mind how anyone could believe them,
and to defend FGM on economic grounds is the height of absurdity.
it would be like saying that the # 1 killer of men, and therefore the most costly,
is colon cancer, so we better remove the colons of all baby boys !
gravenimage says
True, Darryl.
Eur says
Male circumcision should be prohibited until the. Majority. Female genital mutilation (there is no female circumcision) is a crime and anyone who promotes it should go to jail. I do not care if Jews, Christians, animists or barbarians Muslims.
Terry says
THE PROTOCOLS OF THE ELDERS OF ZION, which this creep quotes, WERE A FRAUD AND FORGERY.
True-done in the last century (I beleive by the Nazis), but that does not make it true.
gravenimage says
Terry, the Protocols of the Elders of Zion were a Tsarist forgery.
Muslims and the odd remaining Neo-Nazi are the only ones who take this crap seriously.
Terry says
Thanks, I had thought that the Nazis did it. I used to have (might still have it, somewhere) an English translation from about 1940 or 41. I forgot where I got it, but found it so off the wall, I had trouble believing ( now, this was a few decades before the Internet) could believe this nonsense.
I guess jerks still do.
But thanks, I did not know it came from the Czars.
gravenimage says
Terry, you are right in that the Nazis used it–just as Muslims are using it today.
Anti-jihad says
Jews oppose FGM because they’re human, (unlike Muslims).
Matthieu Baudin says
“… ‘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’…”
There you have it; throw away the old terminology such as ‘female circumcision’ or even ‘female genital mutilation’ – this barbaric practice is in fact FEMALE CASTRATION as the equivalent, in the case of a boy, would involve the removal of his entire penis. Now that’s a sobering and terrifying thought; the removal of the Phallus (Penis) is entirely anatomically equivalent to the removal of the Phallus (Clitoris). The Human Phallus is something akin to a God given sense organ and nobody has the right to remove it.
Herbert J Smith says
Cut his dick off and balls and stuff it up his arse. The muslims blame women.and Jews for all of their hate and corrupt beliefs.
Shone says
A cleric? There is no such thing in satan’s cult of islam. He is just imam, a muslim version of rabbi. But unlike Jewish rabbis, the teachers of death cult are nothing more than lunatics and perverts. Egyptian with a Asyrian beard, with pointing finger in the air, and a book of lies in the other hand. FGM for moral?!! And western feminists are embracing those butchers? Lunacy have no boundaries indeed. But, wait, they are masculine, and not white… so, we are oppressors, and feminists are willing to let their genitalia mutilated by hands of poor filthy ratts, because they are proffered.
FYI says
Muslims with morals?
muslims don’t even obey God’s original commandments as we see every day with the incessant atrocities,viciousness,murder,raping,lying and abuse of women and children.
And that’s just in their own godless savage countries.
Neither allah in his koran nor muhammed in his wicked life… even agree with God’s Commandments!
Their commandment-violating koran is the most depraved anti-Semitic, anti-Christian
book ever written.It encourages the breaking of God’s commandments.
Since muslims do not follow or obey God’s Commandments but rather the warped and wicked equivocations of allah instead they have no concept of morality.
See if you can find a muslim anywhere in the world that can explain why allah disagrees with God’s Original Commandments and why does he encourage muslims to break these laws of God (…thereby sinning against Him!).
allah curses the Jews and the Christians k9:30 and k3:56
allah wants to rule the world(“islam will rule the world”)and replace the Biblical version but what allah and muslims do not understand is that God Already Rules the world.A muslim-only planet under the commandment-violating allah and his muslims will never happen.
This is because allah isn’t God.
People on JW might not like Biblical prophecy but really it is quite good news:God has promised protection for Israel against the enemy and there is no question of islam winning this.
If you are Christian you should read 2 Thessalonians 2:you see why God allows allah to exist in opposition to Him has to do with free will.It is the separation of the wheat from the chaff.Those who love the truth enough to be saved versus those who follow the false path.
Just think about it:there is another aspect to all this “islam will rule the world” nonsense.
allah may hope to win this but God isn’t going to permit it.
If you are Jewish you must know that in these times the enemies of God want to destroy Israel and wage war against the Jews:isn’t it obvious?
(But you do actually have protection from God)
Carolyne says
Muslims believe in the truth of Islam and Allah as much as Christians believe in their God. They will neverbelieve anything else. The only way to save the West is by confining Muslims to the Middle East and let the Sunnis kill the Shiites as they do every day of the year.
Carolyne says
“Kill each other as they do every day of the year.”
Maximilian Jehuda EWERT says
fgm includes cutting the clitoris.The equivalent in males would be cutting of the glans.But they usually do so when touring people to death.Halimi (french jewish victim from 2006, there was another female victim in 2017 totured to death) has had this fate, and the tortured victims at the Batlacan attack 2015 (downstairs shot upstairs tortured to death, the former owner had before immigrating to israel organised pro israel events, so it was targeted, somehow dictatorships hate jews).FGM is not a circumcision (where a part the foreskin is shortened, like it’s the usual treatment for phimosis, too), as the whole lips are removed (like skinning a penis) and the clitoris (which is neurological seen the equivalent of the glans) is cut of, afterwords women are sewed up.Peeing and menstruating through a suture (that is ripped of for sex and sewed up again), causes infection.
