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

England: New female genital mutilation case every two hours, still not a single conviction

Jul 9, 2018 11:23 am By Robert Spencer

“FGM has been a criminal offence in Britain since 1985, and since 2003 it has been illegal for British citizens to carry out or procure FGM abroad – but police and prosecutors are yet to secure a single conviction…”

Why? Because prosecuting such offenses would be “Islamophobic.” FGM 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. Anti-FGM movements will tell Muslim women (and men) about the health risks of FGM, and about how barbaric it is to work to deny women sexual pleasure and try to control them, and none of it will stop FGM. All that will wash over believers and what will be left will be the fact that it is justified in Islam — and that is the one thing the anti-FGM campaigners refuse to address. So they will, unfortunately, never succeed.

“England: New Female Genital Mutilation Case Every Two Hours, Experts Demand Action,” by Liam Deacon, Breitbart, July 8, 2018:

Around 4,500 new cases of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) were recorded in England over the last year, more than one every two hours, official data shows.

Between April 2017 and March 2018, around 6,200 women and girls who visited a doctor, midwife, or other public health services in England had been exposed to the form of abuse at some point, the National Health Service (NHS) said on Thursday.

Some cases had already been recorded, but 4,495 were being logged for the first time since the government made it compulsory for medical practitioners to report cases of FGM in 2015.

Since then, there have been 28,326 medical attendances of females with FGM and 16,265 newly recorded cases. However, an estimated 137,000 women and girls in England and Wales have been exposed to the practice overall.

In the past 12 months, nearly half (2,755) of the attendance cases were in London, 1,415 were in the north of England, 1,200 in the Midlands and East, and 745 in the south of England.

Of the cases where both the age of the victim and the place of birth could be determined, 86 percent of the women and girls were born and had FGM undertaken in an African country, the NHS added in a report.

FGM has been a criminal offence in Britain since 1985, and since 2003 it has been illegal for British citizens to carry out or procure FGM abroad – but police and prosecutors are yet to secure a single conviction, with the National Police Chiefs’ Council FGM lead describing the crime as “nuanced”….

    The only surprise about this story, is that the information has surfaced at all.

    If you remember the Swedish dentist who exposed how many adults were masquerading as ‘child’ migrants a while ago, and then lost his job – well he’s now been fined about $50k for breaching confidentiality rules:-

    https://www.thenewamerican.com/world-news/europe/item/29473-swedish-dental-expert-fined-50-000-for-exposing-adult-migrants-masquerading-as-children

    So reporting criminality is itself a crime in today’s EU, which we knew already and Tommy Robinson is currently held in solitary confinement as proof that UK is well on board with such restrictions.

        It is symptomatic of the depths to which the ‘establishment’ has sunk,there is a strange madness pervading the political the judicial and the forces of law and disorder right across the European continent,including sadly the UK which used to stand out as a beacon of probity for other countries to emulate but is now amongst the worst of the appeasing societies,perhaps when we extricate ourselves from the Brussels mafia things will start to improve BUT what WILL,without any shadow of doubt change our future is when we STOP returning the liars cheats and appeasers that make up the Con/Lab conspiritors to Westminster and instead give our support to a new party for the people,by the people.UKIP are beginningto get back on track and they could act as a catalyst for other movements bringing our many different ‘street factions’ together into one party of hope,its our ONLY hope.

      Isn’t it funny that the brave forces of Law and Order in the UK can arrest a lone English UK citizen for talking into a camera outside a courthouse about criminal proceedings concerning muslims inside the courthouse, and then have to try to decide the grounds for locking him up, but can’t seem to be able to find a way of arresting and locking up thousands of muslims for depraved crimes when the evidence stares them in the face?

    I am sick to death of this islamic evil and horrific girl abuse. I am sick to death of western traitors like May. When are Brits going to fight back, the time for being able to peacefully take back their country is long past.

    Anyone who doesn’t believe this is Islamic hasn’t even done a cursory look at Islam’s holy books. Any honest person who does take a quick look at the Koran, Hadith, and Sira will see it’s evil to the core.

    This is not an EU issue: it’s Britain’s political correctness and its fear of offending its “minorities” (or majorities in major cities) that is the problem. Neighbouring France, which is much less PC, has made more than a hundred successful high profile prosecutions.

    On the subject of the cruel, brutal and vicious Islamic tradition of female butchery which some Muslims so inappropriately call “female circumcision.” This heinous Islamic custom of misogyny has now even spread like an infectious disease even to England This heinous Islamic practice 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 !

    England: New female genital mutilation case every two hours, still not a single conviction
    ………………….

    *Disgusting*.

    In fact, the *only* FGM case ever prosecuted in Britain involved an Infidel doctor who re-infibulated a Muslim woman after she had given birth because she begged him to and said, no doubt accurately, that she would be rejected by her husband and his family if it wasn’t done.

    Theresa May should be dumped as PM. She has shown multiple shortcomings in a number of areas, the most devastating of which has been her failure to press for prosecutions concerning the ongoing FGM castration of girls. It is an absolute disgrace that a mature woman blessed with freedoms and life opportunities in a country that prides itself with following the rule of law; that she should wilfully ignore the agony and distress of young girls being abused under her watch. If boys were having the heads of their penis removed by relatives there would be swift action – shame on you Theresa for you and your governments moral abrogation in the face of the very worst form of child abuse.

    This makes me sick.

    The UK is not a civilized society.

    It is as barbaric or the same as the worst of the worst 3rd world countries in this damn world.

    Hey Trudeau our great feminist PM, the next time you cosy up with May, or Charles, or Elizabeth tell them it is the 21st century and their subjects of the female variety are people also. This standing up for females rights in the UK just might exonerate your groper past.

      Funny how easy it is for these alleged good Christians to ignore little girls who are having their genitalia mutilated, who are being married off to their first cousins and their father’s business associates for money, who are being raped and impregnated and forced to bear children at 14 or even younger.

      I guess they must not be deemed “innocent” enough.

        We’re not responsible for the atrocities of Islam. Where did you get that notion? We’re busy trying to protect ourselves from Jew/Christian-hating Islam. Understand?

        revereridesagain, what have Christians to do with the globalist hiding and protecting mohammedans? Christians are in the cross hairs of theses evil bastards and if we protest we are thrown in jail. You seem to not understand who is in control of civilized countries at the moment, it is not the Christians but the satanic globalist and their foot soldiers islam.

    Why would a man want his wife to feel only pain, or nothing at all? That is not love or kindness. It is savage, inhumane. How can a mommy, a daddy do this to their daughters? Because Islam is savage and inhumane. It does not belong in humane cultures, with humane people.

    I couldn’t care less. Britain brought this upon itself. We are not responsible for Muslims’ atrocities.

      • JawsV says

        OK. Then the British elites. We’re still not responsible for Islamic atrocities.

    • Susan B is getting really mad@# says

      Jul 10, 2018 at 3:01 pm

      JawsV, no, the elites have done this to citizens of almost all free civilized countries. Voting no longer matters because the whole thing is rigged. The only solution is a revolution by the people against the traitors destroying their countries. Yesterday would be a good time to start.

      • JawsV says

        Jul 10, 2018 at 3:41 pm

        OK. The elites have inflicted Islam upon us. We’re still not responsible for Islamic atrocities. Muslims are. Islam is. Period.

        • Susan B is getting really mad@# says

          Jul 10, 2018 at 5:27 pm

          JawsV you are right muslims are responsible for Islamic atrocities. However, they could not do this without their enablers, the global elites.
