UK: Cutters flown in to mutilate Muslim girls’ genitals

Oct 20, 2018 12:11 pm By Robert Spencer

If British authorities were serious about stopping this practice, they would stop these cutters from entering the country. Why don’t they? Probably because doing so would be “Islamophobic.” Establishment media treatments of female genital mutilation routinely insist that it has nothing to do with Islam, but actually 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

That hadith is classified as weak, but this one is classified as sahih (reliable): “Aishah narrated: ‘When the circumcised meets the circumcised, then indeed Ghusl is required. Myself and Allah’s Messenger did that, so we performed Ghusl.’” — Jami` at-Tirmidhi 108

If Muhammad had the genitals of his favorite wife, Aisha, mutilated, that is a strong endorsement of the practice from the man who is an “excellent example” (Qur’an 33:21) for Muslims.

“FGM cutters ‘being flown into UK to mutilate girls to order’, survivor warns,” by Lizzie Dearden, Independent, September 30, 2018 (thanks to the Geller Report):

So-called cutters are being flown into the UK to perform female genital mutilation (FGM) on young girls, a campaigner has warned.

Hoda Ali, an FGM survivor and activist who works in safeguarding in Ealing in west London, said families were paying for the practice in the UK as well as taking children abroad.

“The practising community talk together, saying, ‘My girl needs to be cut’, and pay the cutters to come into the UK and cut the girls here,” she told The Independent.

“The reality is we need to open our eyes. We don’t need to think just about faraway countries because right now we have girls who are in their late teens or even early twenties who were cut in this country. They are British girls who were born here and they were cut here.”

Ms Ali said that despite improvements in UK laws against FGM and awareness, data on the extent of procedures in Britain does not exist because of the secrecy still surrounding the practice.

“We know this is happening from talking to survivors who were cut in the UK … it could be in Sheffield, in Birmingham, in London – it could be anywhere because if you believe something they are going to do it,” she added.

“Things are changing but we know there are medical professionals from practising communities are for FGM and who will cut girls still, even here in the UK.”

Both police and the National FGM Centre have received reports of cutters being brought into the UK from countries in Africa where mutilation is prevalent, but none have yet contained “actionable intelligence” that could lead to a prosecution….

    Look, it’s almost as if the government is trying to not only side with the muslims but they are allowing them to take over OUR country.
    The Government will NOT help – in fact it’s like they are against us and working for them
    The police – well the same goes for them.
    SO, when will the Brits rise up and take our country back? I can not believe that everybody’s turned CHICKEN

      It’s very sad that the British government has allowed this invasion! Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher are not resting today!! England is lost!! They are losing their soverignity and their identity, as is France, Germany, Sweden, etc etc. And where is the royal family not expressing outrage?
      Their days are numbered as well if this continues! The USA and our allies will not be able to save them again!! God save the queen! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

        The ‘royals’ are a useless set fo ornaments they are not allowed to make political statements. Their only function is to breed more of themselves for the tax payers to support. The queen and her family also has vast wealth and own a lot of the land

      Unfortunately the “ Brits” whenever I try to raise the matter of Islamization and the threat to the way of life either ther eyes glaze over or they come out fighting with comments “ all religions are the same” or “ see the young Muslim girls pushing the boundaries – with ther hijabs and their make up and painted nails peeping through.. it indicates that they are experimenting its British culture …..eventually they will make the transition..”
      when their arguments falter then they say “ What is Britishness anyway ?” There is no such thing as British “.

      I had this argument this ver afternoon with a dear friend of thirty years !

        That is so sad. Did you describe FGM to your friend? Do we need to show people photos?
        A Photo can speak volumes.

      They paved the way carefully – “hate speech” and “racism” accusations are used to keep everyone quiet. |Penalties for hate speech or racism are severe so everyone shuts up and ignores Muslims.
      Thanks to multiculturalism they tend to keep to their own people anyway with little or no integration so most Brits have little to do with them and care even less.

      There have been arrests and a handful of prosecutions, just no successful convictions as yet, sadly.

      • gravenimage says

        Oct 21, 2018 at 12:46 am

        I’ve only seen a single prosecution, Ragdoll–and this, against an Infidel doctor who re-infibulated an already mutilated woman after she had given birth because she begged him to, saying that her husband and family would reject her if he didn’t do it–which was almost certainly true.

        Do you have any information on any other prosecutions?

    The word “cutter” in the headline is ambiguous. Is it [1] an instrument that cuts, or [2] a person who cuts? If suitable [1]s can be purchased domestically, there is no need to hire overseas [2]s. Fortunately, almost any product is available from Amazon, such as this $13.99 ring-handle bone saw for convenient diplomatic dismemberment:

    https://www.amazon.com/SurgicalOnline-Satterlee-Handle-Stainless-Steel/dp/B01N6UD6NN?SubscriptionId=AKIAILSHYYTFIVPWUY6Q&tag=duckduckgo-fpas-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B01N6UD6NN

    Under what category are FGM instruments listed at Amazon?

    Now this cruel, brutal and vicious Islamic tradition of female butchery which some Muslims so inappropriately call “female circumcision’ has spread like an infectious disease , or a plague , even to England. 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 !

    Yet it is illegal to smack your children in the UK, whilst it appears that the government is perfectly happy to allow the followers of Islam to mutilate their girl children with what ever sharp instrument they can get their hands on. /www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/smacking-children-uk-law-change-ban-is-it-illegal-what-are-rules-parents-punishment-a8069436.html

    I wonder how many of our ruling elite have had this done to their girls so they can be in solidarity with Muslims? They will stop at nothing to prove they’re not ‘far right Islamophobes’ like us.

    • gravenimage says

      Oct 21, 2018 at 12:52 am

      No, this is not happening. Just allowing Muslims to do it is appalling enough.

    Winston Churchill warned about Islam but Britain did not listen to him.
    He warned about Hitler Britain came close to defeat.

    Oct 20, 2018 at 9:01 pm

    In a tight spot of their own making.

    If–as we’re told–FGM is NOT Islamic, then it CANNOT be Islamophobic to oppose it.

    Exploit that.

    wow, stupid gets stupider; there is NO benefit to fgm except the arab male who wants all the pleasure and none of the responsibility; sounds familiar. arab men have NO honor to believe this is a practice that is required for honor or anything else; more pure bullshit. perhaps a lobotomy would be helpful for the arab man/men who follow mo’s idiotic belief system with the same tools used for fgm!!!!

      Muslim men are terrified of women. Or they just despise women. Maybe both, sick bastards.

    Nigel Farage does not have a problem with this. Nigel Farage wants us to surrender to the evil cult.
    Farage told activists that the party was right to oppose Islamic extremism “but if dealing with Islamic fundamentalism becomes a battle between us and the entire religion, I’ll tell you the result: we’ll lose. We will simply lose.”

    Adding: “We absolutely have to get that Muslim majority living in many of our towns and cities on our side, more attuned to Western values than some pretty hardline interpretations of the Qur’an.” https://www.jihadwatch.org/2018/10/uk-cutters-flown-in-to-mutilate-muslim-girls-genitals

    So you think this is not happening in the U.S. ? Filthy muslims hide the facts in their terrorist training centers (mosques) and cooperate with each other to hide the practice.
    Big MO probably started the practice when his “favorite” wife complained to her buddies of not being satisfied with his “wham-bam” approach to (ahem) procreation.
    So he thought to himself “Well, we know how to fix THAT, don’t we ?”

    Liberal women who support Islam have blood on their hands.

    What other group does such a heinous thing to LITTLE GIRLS?

    Islam is a cult that slices little girls clitoris’ out and FEMINISTS defend this cult. Whaaaat!!?
