“It has been illegal in the UK since 1985,” but no one has been convicted of it. Why? Probably because convictions 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.
“Babies falling victim to horrific FGM in scandal which shames Birmingham,” by Alison Stacey, BirminghamLive, October 5, 2018:
Ten Birmingham baby girls less than a year old have become victims of barbaric female genital mutilation.
Sickening statistics revealed by the NHS showed that, in just three months, city doctors recorded ten new cases of babies who had undergone the harrowing procedure.
All were not yet 12 months old in cases uncovered between April and June this year.
The shocking figures also revealed that 15 children aged between one and four were reported as FGM victims by Birmingham medics.
In total, there were 140 new cases of the abuse in the city in those three months, according to data published by NHS Digital.
In many cases, the ages of patients were not included, but, of those recorded, most victims were between five and nine….
It has been illegal in the UK since 1985, and in 2003 the law was strengthened to prevent girls travelling from the UK and undergoing FGM abroad.
But doctors in Birmingham are recording an average two cases of FGM a day, with 74 per cent of them recorded as new victims.
Across England 1,015 new cases were recorded in the same three-month period, 40 per cent of which were in London, and 14 per cent in Birmingham.
Most of the women and girls affected were born in east and north Africa, where they underwent FGM before coming to Britain.
But 25 cases recorded in England from April to June were believed to have been carried out in the UK….

So when Allah created woman he created an imperfect creature? How can that be when everything Allah does is perfect?
Mohammed was a paranoid schizophrenic with violent tendencies. The voices he was hearing in his head was the crazy talking. And as far as I am concerned ya’ll still listening to the crazy.

It would be interesting to learn how these cases come to light and what penalties are being applied , if any

josephine says
for those who think this nonsense should be done; let them open their legs and get their parts cut off in the same fashion as these babies. this is so ludicrous that fgm alone would deter anyone on the planet from falling for this political/controlling/vicious belief from this crazy person called mo who was in serious need of validation so he takes it out on females. what a dumb sob
elee says
Hey government, you failed to PROTECT THE DEFENSELESS
Clive Stephen Delmonte says
It’s obvious why it’s impractical to lock up the breadwinner of a family where there’s been fgm. That’s why there have been no prosecutions.
What we should explore is attachment of the breadwinner’s earnings.
Then, after a stated number of years, these monies, deducted from the breadwinner’s earnings, should be transferred to the mutilated woman via bank transfer.
Such a process might start to protect female babies.

…………………………..
Two problems here, Clive–firstly, you are mistaken in believing that no perpetrators are ever prosecuted if they are family breadwinners–indeed, this happens all the time, as well it should. Having a job should not protect anyone from prosecution.
Then, much of the time Muslims in the West do not work at all, and simply live on the dole. Even by these questionable standards, surely such Muslim heads of households mutilating their children who do not work could be prosecuted?
Moreover, leaving these victims with those that victimized them is a terrible idea–for one thing, FGM seldom takes place in a vacuum–these same Muslims would be apt to beat their children, take them out of school, and force them into under-aged marriages, often threatening to murder them if they resist. Other younger siblings would also themselves be at risk for FGM, as well.

Many of these girls and women are never allowed to live freely–the idea that they would just be able to live Western lives with a nice little nest egg to start them off in most cases quite unlikely. Most often with such a scheme the money would just be returned to the mutilator.
I’d rather see these thugs imprisoned then deported.
Anjuli Pandavar says
And just to add to that, in most cases the parent taking charge of FGM is the mother, who is not usually the breadwinner.
The feminist dereliction of their own cause is matched only by the government’s dereliction of care of it’s own vulnerable citizens. It’s a double damnation: allowing Shari’a courts to exist at the same time as not enforcing laws that mostly Muslims fall foul of — in fact, a Shari’a fifth column. When did Muslim women opt out of legal protection? When did the children born to Muslim parents opt out of legal protection? I think a class action lawsuit brought by victims of FGM against the government for criminal negligence might be a more effective way forward.

Sharia May doesn’t seem to be on the job here does she. What a surprise.
Westman says
It’s interesting to observe that “Allah” made a mistake in designing humans and needed a ritual to remove or correct the deficient parts. He, apparently, was also a slow learner; needing to observe a few 10’s of billions of humans before realizing the error.
There are only a few accurite words to describe someone who would allow FGM on his/her daughter: stupid, fearful. or, woman-hating.
Renate says
If Allah had said that all Muslims were to jump off of cliffs, would they be doing that, too?

The only way to stop Female Genital Mutilation in the UK is to vote for Gerard Batten’s UKIP..
UKIP is on a massive winning streak with Gerard Batten as leader. With Gerard Batten running UKIP and Tommy Robinson coming aboard, UKIP could very well win the votes of over 430,000 Sikhs and 1,000.000 Hindus living in the UK. That is not to mention 4 million British Pensioners, and the many millions of non-Muslim voters who are beginning to realise what an evil cult Islam is. Of course, with our votes secret, many Muslims opposed to Islam, would vote for UKIP, as many Muslims voted for Marine Le Pen in France. UKIP and the UK can only be on a winner with Gerard Batten and Tommy Robinson.

UK: Ten baby girls in Birmingham less than a year old subjected to female genital mutilation

……………………..
Just sickening. These *poor little girls*. The parents should lose custody and be deported.
The only FGM that has ever been prosecuted in the UK is that of an Infidel doctor whose already mutilated patient, having just given birth, begged him to re-infibulate her lest her husband and his family reject her and throw her out of the house. He complied out of pity. This is probably the only FGM where the perpetrator actually deserved to go free.

What the hell has become of us Western folk when something like fgm is going on in our midst and those part and parcel to it are occupying seats in high government, Parliament, County Councils and Borough Councils; with no effort made to denounce Islam for the sick nonsense it is, except by people the likes of whom read this blog. I am sick of listening to phat feminists and mummys boy socialists apologising for their Islamist paymasters. We need to war on the men of Islam, the old creeps and their stupid sons. Chuck the lot of these filth minded twats out. From the start the West should have only accepted Muslims wishing to escape Islam – there is plenty of them. And a firm Fuck Off ought to have been given the Imam brigade and their crazed covens.
strong aingel says
And forget the Strong-Weak argument bollocks. Any normally educated individual understands full well scripture is not a tool of Government nor will ever be. The Imam rats know that well enough. That said a cult requiring mutilation (of genitals of all things) as a Law needs to be destroyed for the savage brain evil it is. As civilised people we must not let these lunatics get any further foothold in our Societies. The time to drive the evil away is now. When you think about the “sexual violence” nonsense surrounding the Appt of a US judge, and realise there is real, condoned sexual violence being committed upon infants in our midst, and how badly affected our civilisations are by the ridiculous aid and comfort given over to IQ70 maniacs, you either agree with it else condemn and fight it.
Mahendra Singh says
My flesh creeps when I hear of this atrocity on girls.
As if male circumcision was not bad enough. Think of the
bleeding, pain and sometimes death of the victims. Truly,
Islam regards women as a breeding machine.
Damn Islam.
ian says
In Judaism, circumcision of a baby boy is done at 7 days usually, by a mohel who specialises in doing circumcisions. It is considered a joyful family event. Some prayers are said, the cut is made taking a few seconds, the baby cries, is given something sweet like honey, the cut is bandaged, regularly cleaned and checked and heals in a couple of weeks. Dirt and germs aren’t trapped behind the foreskin and Jewish women develop less cervical cancer as a result. It is cleaner and does not affect male sensitivity.
This is completely different from female fgm, often done when the victim is old enough to know what’s happening. The thinking behind this is not health or wellbeing, but to discourage women from enjoying sex, so they won’t be tempted to stray, the most abominable thing in the Muslim world that a woman can do. Of course, if it should happen, the aggrieved husband, according to the Koran, is entitled to kill her, or if she is unmarried she should be stoned to death. Islam took a sensible Jewish idea and perverted it to bolster their sexual insecurity. It does not matter because in Islam, women are inferior to men.
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
Muslims gang-raping mithraist christian ladies with disgusting horrible bad smells due to absence of cleaning private parts with water ?It is not true, Mr spencer.
gravenimage says
Firstly, of course, Christians overall have a much higher standard of hygiene than do Muslims, particularly in the West.
What Ibrahim itace muhammed means is that Christians and other Infidels are considered *ritually* unclean by Muslims–“Najis”, the same as urine or feces.
But this has not stopped Muslims from raping Christians and keeping them as sex slaves for the past 1400 years.
Muhammed himself had a sex slave, Mary the Copt, whom he raped and impregnated. Is Ibrahim itace muhammed insulting his own Prophet?
And Muslims rape Christians and other Infidels all the time. If this *really* bothered him, he would take it up with his own coreligionists, rather than slinging Taqiyya at the good Infidels here at Jihad Watch.
Note, further, that he has *no* moral problem with Muslims raping Christians; he just doesn’t like the idea that the victims are polluting their rapists. *Ugh*.
