Germany: “Enormous rise” in girls threatened with genital mutilation

Jul 18, 2017 1:47 pm By Robert Spencer

Here is another one of the marvelous benefits of Angela Merkel’s suicidal immigration policies.

“Due to the arrival of migrants from countries such as Eritrea, Somalia and Iraq, we have recorded a huge increase in the number of affected women and threatened girls.”

This is because female genital mutilation 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

“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 as well.

“‘Enormous rise’ in girls threatened with genital mutilation in Germany: report,” The Local, July 18, 2017:

There are currently more than 13,000 girls in Germany whose families plan to have them circumcised – an increase of 4,000 over last year – women’s rights group Terre des Femmes claims.

“Due to the arrival of migrants from countries such as Eritrea, Somalia and Iraq, we have recorded a huge increase in the number of affected women and threatened girls,” Terre des Femmes spokeswoman Charlotte Weil told DPA on Tuesday.

Weil, who has authored a report on unrecorded female genital mutilation (FGM) in Germany, estimated that there are 58,000 women in the country who have been victims of female circumcision.

The mutilation of the female sexual organs is practised in many African countries, as well as a few in Asia. It is illegal in Germany.

“We don’t know of any cases where a girl was mutilated in Germany. It either takes place on a holiday back in their homeland, or during a visit to a practitioner in a city such as Paris or Amsterdam,” said Weil.

The number of social workers, teachers and doctors who have sought help from Terre des Femmes concerning girls threatened with FGM over the past year has also risen sharply. Mothers also occasionally seek help from the organization.

Migrants from Senegal and Gambia often prove receptive to information on the dangers of FGM, those from Guinea and Somalia less so, Weil said.

She added that teachers should remain attentive, particularly if young girls say that they are travelling home on holiday, and that there will be a “big festival.”

    FGM and wife-beating are as Islamic as beheading kufaar and lying about jihad.

    Now Muslims in Germany can lie about FGM. They lie about everything, it seems.

      No, they only lie when it suits them.

        We have summer holidays – foodbank was almost empty : cos all these ” poor rapefugees ” do a vacation in their homelands ! Good for us – but 4 weeks there is no food bank : it turned out that most of them lied about the amount of family members – what a surprise !

        Lying is a part of their life !

          How is it that “refugees” go home for holidays? Isn’t the supposed reason for their presence in Europe that they are fleeing persecution and risk of death? If you left someplace like that and got somewhere safe why would you go back?

    Not that Germany will do so but in 1851 Sir Charles James Napier the British Army’s Commander-in-Chief in India demonstrated how to handle this problem.

    The Hindu’s had their own customs, one of which was “Sati”. This was the custom of burning a widow alive on the funeral pyre of her husband. Napier judged that the immolation was motivated by profits for the priests, and when told of an actual Sati about to take place, he informed those involved that he would stop the sacrifice. The priests complained to him that this was a customary religious rite, and that customs of a nation should be respected.

    As recounted by his brother William, he replied:
    “Be it so. This burning of widows is your custom; prepare the funeral pile. But my nation has also a custom. When men burn women alive we hang them, and confiscate all their property. My carpenters shall therefore erect gibbets (platforms) on which to hang all concerned when the widow is consumed. Let us all act according to national customs.” Sati disappeared shortly thereafter…

    Conduct medical exams of every Muslim girl born in the UK. Any found to have had a clitorectomy… execute both parents.

      Brilliant – pity we don’t have civil servants of his calibre running the UK Government these days. Today’s lot would probably donate millions of foreign aid to fuel the bonfires.

    Those who practice female genital mutilation have committed a blasphemy. They are saying what God has created is an imperfect mistake that must be corrected by man.Such arrogance is damnable.

    EVERYTHING they do in germany is illegal , but they get away with it always 🙁

    It should be easy to bait these Muslims. Announce a clinic that will do this for a reasonable fee, and get busy making appointments. Book appoints all on the same day, and as they come in, capture them on camera. Then arrest the whole damn bunch – maybe 100 in one fell swoop. Make sure it gets into the headlines.

      This will never happen. The MSM in Germany, actually in all western European countries, is under instruction to play down, or suppress where possible, any news regarding crimes perpetrated by Muslims. For reasons which totally escape me, the European powers-that-be have conferred protected status on all Muslims in their countries, often to the detriment of their native citizens, who’s cries to be heard on the subject of immigration routinely go unheeded.

    Germany: “Enormous rise” in girls threatened with genital mutilation
    ………………….

    Gee–might that have something to do with the enormous rise in Muslims in Germany?

    Political Leaders, including Frau Merkel, have a special opportunity to demonstrate courage when speaking of compassion. It is their duty in public office, exercising real power, to speak up clearly and forcefully on behalf of the most vulnerable and defenceless. The castration of little girls in Germany is an abomination on par with the use of slave labour during the Second World War. It is Angela’s moral duty to publicly broadcast her disgust and to launch a public campaign to bring it to an end. The special aspect of this crime is it’s hidden nature; usually only hospital staff are witness to the scars left behind, and the easy response, by far and away the most common response, is to make little or no effort to pursue the criminal perpetrators. But a public campaign, led by a countries leader, is a preemptive measure, a significant preventative health measure, aimed at preventing this savage, brutal and permanently incapacitating sexual assault against young girls, who ought to share the legal protection offered by the Fatherland.
