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

Italy: Up to 80,000 women have been subjected to genital mutilation

Feb 6, 2018 12:15 pm By Robert Spencer

These aren’t 80,000 Italian women. These are 80,000 Muslim migrants in Italy.

“It said it was ever more important to inform migrant communities of the health risks of FGM.”

Informing Muslim migrants of the health risks of FGM is not going to eradicate the practice. Why not? Because it is mandated in 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

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

Unless and until its Islamic justifications, which everyone seems to want to cover up and deny, are addressed, FGM will never be eradicated.

“Up to 80,000 women genitally mutilated in Italy – CISL,” ANSA, February 6, 2018 (thanks to Insubria):

(ANSA) – Rome, February 6 – Between 61,000 and 80,000 women in Italy have suffered some form of genital mutilation, the CISL trade union said on the UN’s International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) on Tuesday.

It said it was ever more important to inform migrant communities of the health risks of FGM….

    Inform yes.

    Inform all it is against the law.

    If law is broken, immediate deportation, no exceptions.

    FGM will stop if the law is enforced.

    No country should diddle around with, not only the risks of FGM, but the removal of sexual enjoyment for the female is gone forever. Cruel not to have iron clad laws. No excuses.

      FGM and Islam’s Mutilation of… Everything

        The World Health Organization has said that FGM has NO HEALTH BENEFITS … only HARMS.

          No discussion required here, only rigorous policing/ imprisonment / deportation.

          Countries so cowardly and societies so sick that they allow this to happen, will allow anything.

          Two hundred years ago, our ancestors were principled and bold enough to fight slavery and suttee in foreign lands; now we turn a blind eye to barbarism at home.

    “Unless and until its Islamic justifications, which everyone seems to want to cover up and deny, are addressed, FGM will never be eradicated.”

    It will not be eradicated so long as a billion+ Muslims–around the world–believe their “complete way of life” permits/commands the practice.

    Merely addressing the issue will change nothing, as neither logic nor kuffar laws has prevented that–anywhere.

    Indeed, it’s being addressed–in an FGM lawsuit against two Detroit doctors. If it’s ruled that FGM is legal–as being a First Amendment protected “religious practice”: Katy, bar the door.

      Mark Durie has a comment in regards to that….since the topic is brought to the public square now, whereas it had not before….

      By the way, PRCS isn’t a nod to the following is it?

      Palestine Red Crescent Society was founded in 1968, by Fathi Arafat, Yasser Arafat’s brother. It is a humanitarian organization that is part of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.

        The Red Crescent is pretty ugly:

        “Terror victim: Red Crescent ambulance saw us, drove away”

        https://www.timesofisrael.com/terror-victim-red-crescent-ambulance-saw-us-drove-away/

        The victims, of course, were Jews.

        In contrast, Israel’s Magen David Adom treats *anyone* who is wounded.

        Red Crescent ambulances have also been used in Jihad terror attacks.

    On the subject of the cruel, brutal and vicious Islamic tradition of female butchery which some Muslims so inappropriately called “female circumcision.” This heinous Islamic custom of misogyny has been exposed in the book by Brigitte Gabriel which is entitled THEY MUST BE STOPPED. For on page 178 it reveals to the reader that “One of the most devastating practices to young girls of the Islamic world is female genital mutilation. Young girls have their clitoris removed without anesthesia…”
    Indeed, they must be stopped !

    Significant to see Mark Durie’s “Third Choice” be mentioned….

    It’s an important piece of work, and with a forward by the incomparable Bat Ye’or.

    The barbarism of Islam is never ending. Seemingly too is the complicity by Western elites who keep making tons of excuses for the barbarism which is Islam.

    When all is said and done, and assuming truth prevails (a very big assumption I readily acknowledge), the current Western elites in the political realm, the media and academia (including all those silly damn feminists who hate the West while making excuse after excuse for anything or anyone who is not associated with the West, thus shame on these lesser females forever), are actually more of a menace than is Islam since Islam on its own cannot prevail in the West. Yes, it needs huge amounts of dhimmi support, which it is presently getting from rubes like May, Trudeau, Pope Francis, and that especially despicable person, Merkel.

    Double whammy: The worst religion of all time, Islam, which comes “complete” with FGM, plus useful Western idiots aplenty. Verdict still out whether the West will survive this twofold iniquity and foolishness.

    Yes, verdict still out. Touch and go right now but what is really needed above all to reverse this rot is very public realization that Islam and support for Islam can end up sounding the death knell to Western Civilization. Count on people like May, Trudeau, Pope Francis and Merkel to never get this. God, I think I despise such Westerners more than I despise Islam. No mean “accomplishment” to be sure.

    Finally, I leave all with this: Every FGM henceforth (if not already since 2013) performed in Italy (and even elsewhere in the West) by Muslim barbarians, is partially the responsibility of Pope Francis I, who has made excuse after excuse for Islam. Yes, this silly man is culpable in this regard. Surely.

    Islam does NOT belong in Italy.

    Italy has a moral obligation to deport every single Moslem within its borders.

    Italy: Up to 80,000 women have been subjected to genital mutilation
    ……………………………….

    Horrifying–but not surprising. Have their been prosecution in Italy for these atrocities? Not that I have heard of.

    More:

    “It said it was ever more important to inform migrant communities of the health risks of FGM.”
    ……………………………….

    Muslims seem to consider such health risks a feature, not a bug…

    “It said it was ever more important to inform migrant communities of the health risks of FGM.”

    HEALTH RISKS. What a cowardly ‘softly softly’ approach. i.e. ‘ Excuse me sir, I just want to inform you that if you decide to have your daughter castrated there may be some health consequences’. These migrant communities are being given the impression that they have choices in regard to FGM – the castration of their daughters/grand-daughters. FGM is a criminal assault, it is illegal and it sits right at the top of current human rights violations. Where are the ‘choices’ for these young girls? The authorities ongoing insistence to turn a blind eye to this travesty is a moral and legal disgrace and is thoroughly unforgivable. Italians – rise up and show some passion; take the lead and all Europe will surely follow.

    I did some short term locums in the KSA a number of years ago. The Saudi’s that I knew said that FGM was not Islamic! The only women that I was aware of that had this horrible act done to them were from Africa. However, I was also aware of some women having rather difficult childbirths, but did not know if any of these were victims of FGM, which can lead to severe childbirth trauma.

    keep the imams, cair, mb, and other islam hate groups informed that they are not allowed to oppose the abolition of fgm; fgm is unnatural as are all islam beliefs who hate mankind with their obsolete belief system which is forced on people by ignorant men.

    “Unless and until its Islamic justifications, which everyone seems to want to cover up and deny, are addressed, FGM will never be eradicated.”

    Now that is a super sentence that everyone should note

    “Unless and until its Islamic justifications, which everyone seems to want to cover up and deny, are addressed, FGM will never be eradicated.”

    Robert Spencer will agree that that sentence also applies to Islamic Terrorism? ( not just female genital mutilation-spell it out Robert.FGM is too mild for this violence against women)
