Ireland: Migrant parents convicted for “appalling act of cruelty” in first female genital mutilation case

Feb 2, 2020 12:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

“An African couple in Dublin has been convicted of having female genital mutilation (FGM) performed on their 21-month-old daughter, in the first such case in the Republic of Ireland.”

Bravo to Judge Elma Sheahan, who stated that “the child suffered an “appalling act of cruelty” in the “most egregious breach of trust by those presumed to be the protectors of their infant child.” Whatever barbaric norms that are accepted abroad should not be tolerated in Western societies. To accept them would be a violation of the principle of equality of rights and human rights for all. Yet it has become mainstream to permit such practices in the name of “diversity.”

Although many try to argue that female genital mutilation (FGM) is not Islamic, it is: see Sunan Abu Dawud 41:5251 and Reliance of the Traveler (Umdat al-Salik) e4.3.

This abuse is rampant in Ireland. “In October, Breitbart London reported that as many as 6,000 women and girls have had their genitals mutilated in Ireland, with another 3,000 currently at risk of having the gruesome procedure inflicted upon them.” These high numbers are merely in Ireland, and, of course, doesn’t include unknown cases. All over the West, this abuse against children and infants continues; its root cause lies in the idea of the inherent inferiority of women in Islam. Yet the sensibilities of Islamic supremacists and “diversity” hustlers have been deemed more important than the well-being of the victims.

“Parents Convicted in First Female Genital Mutilation Case in Ireland,” by Kurt Zindulka, Breitbart, January 30, 2020:

An African couple in Dublin has been convicted of having female genital mutilation (FGM) performed on their 21-month-old daughter, in the first such case in the Republic of Ireland.

A man and wife of African origin have been jailed after they “aided and abetted, counselled or procured” someone to perform female genital mutilation upon their 21-month-old daughter. The man has been sentenced to five-and-a-half years and his wife will serve a term of four years and nine months.

The couple, who will remain unnamed to protect the identity of the child, pleaded not guilty to procuring FGM, claiming in the trial that their daughter had suffered the injury as a result of falling onto a toy while not wearing a diaper, according to RTE.

Their version of events was disputed health professionals in the trial who argued that it was clearly a case of female genital mutilation. Sri Paran, the paediatric surgeon who performed surgery on the girl to stop the bleeding, said that the injury was not accidental.

Sentencing the African couple, Judge Elma Sheahan said that the child suffered an “appalling act of cruelty” in the “most egregious breach of trust by those presumed to be the protectors of their infant child”.

The practise of FGM, in which the cutting or removing of female sex organs is performed on girls, is common within the cultures of some African nations and Muslim-majority countries, where it is used as a preventative measure against women having sex before marriage.

The barbaric procedure not only impacts victims physically but can also lead to long-lasting mental health issues later in life.

Female genital mutilation was first criminalised in the Republic of Ireland in 2012 and carries a maximum sentence of 14 years, however, no one has been jailed for the offence until now…..

    FGM is not a mere option in Islam.

    Cutting out the clitoris is obligatory

    e4.3 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 clitoris (this is called Hufaad)

    Reliance of the Traveller: A Classic Manual of Islamic Sacred Law
    Ahmad ibn Naqib al-Misri

    Fitrah is five things, including circumcision

    Note that the rules of hadith dictate that if it is not mentioned specifically or if the pronouns do not point to a certain gender, then the hadith is valid for both sexes. Hence, the following hadiths are applicable for both men and women.

    Abu Hurayrah said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: “The fitrah is five things – or five things are part of the fitrah – circumcision, shaving the pubes, trimming the moustache, cutting the nails and plucking the armpit hairs.”

    Bukhari 5891; Muslim 527

    A preservation of honor for women

    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; Abu Dawud, Adab 167.

    Modern FATWA

    Fuqaha’ of Islam are agreed that it is PRESCRIBED, not an inherited custom

    Firstly: Circumcision is not an inherited custom as some people claim, rather it is prescribed in Islam and the scholars are unanimously agreed that it is prescribed. Not a single Muslim scholar – as far as we know – has said that circumcision is not prescribed.

      Again, mortimer, thanks for the detailed information.

      And I agree with your first post about a viper being brought into Ireland. Guess you could say, at least metaphorically, that this negates what legend ascribes to Saint Patrick about driving the snakes out of the Emerald Isle. Well, they’re back and they’re extra venomous.

        Open doors migration brings cultural practices that are incompatible with Irish society and hostile to it. Luckless Ireland is being betrayed and destroyed by its globalist politicians:

          muslims don’t even have ANY business being in Ireland!

          They should not be there.

          They have clearly been imported by the treasonous Leftard-influenced politicians of most of the mainstream political parties there{and they are all guilty:FF,FG,lab,SF} and the corrupt Globalist criminal elites who promote the islamic invasion via pro-mass islamic immigration policies.

          muslims are antiChristian{k9:30},their religion is antisocial{k5:51} and barbaric with halal cruelty to animals,the demonically filthy sharia “law” and their murderous jihadist ideology.

          Importing these muslims with their demonic creed WILL destroy Ireland.

          It WILL most certainly destroy the fabric of that society.

          What was the point of all that:1916,gaining independence,becoming a sovereign nation state…only to have their country betrayed by politicians,the SAME politicians who are currently seeking re-election in Ireland?

    Probably NOT muslims I’d say .. There was another case of non-muslims have been prosecuted recently in the UK for FGM .. To prosecute muslims for FGM would be islamophobic .. such are the special privileges enjoyed by muhammadans

    Feb 2, 2020 at 2:03 pm

    Now in Ireland this cruel, brutal and vicious Islamic tradition of female butchery has come . This butchery of young girls some Muslims very inappropriately call “female circumcision’ This vicious evil has spread like an infectious disease , or a plague , even to Ireland as well as to other Western nations.

    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 !

    • Carol the 1st says

      Feb 3, 2020 at 1:21 pm

      That “without anesthesia” is more than a little unfortunate and disturbing. The adult love lives of these girls are being damaged seriously by the ignorant hubris of adults who deserve plastic dolls instead of daughters. We will not be obliged to contaminate ourselves by ignoring this incredibly stupid evil.

    Have blade, will travel…

    Heavy with their typical, childish talking points, these CAIR ‘reps” attempt–as usual–to convince viewers/attendees that the ‘Muslim’ ban is driven–in significant measure–by ‘white supremacists’ hatred of Muslims and ‘people of color’.

    No mention of ‘diverse’ cultural practices like FGM, of course.

        And yet muslims don’t respect the rights of others..do they?

        1]”muslims are not allowed to honor the people of the Dhimmah
        or elevate them above muslims,for they are miserable disgraced and humiliated”
        TAFSIR IBN KATHIR 9:29

        We in the west:we’re the “people of the Dhimmah”

        2]”We smile in the face of some people although our hearts curse them”
        Abu Ad Dardai

        “Some people”?That’s us,the KUFFAR

        3]”Do not initiate the salaam greeting to the Jews or Christians
        and if you meet them on the road,force them to its narrowest alley”

        TAFSIR IBN KATHIR vol 4 p406

        4]islam is “under obligation to gain power over all nations”
        The muqqadimah,ibn khaldun

        I guess CAIR won’t want any of the kuffar to know about all this as they strive to make themselves out to be the innocent victims of “islamophobia”

          I’m sorry but the muslimas @ 15:11{and @17:27} are not wearing the mandatory hijab.And is..is..that makeup?

          This is absolutely outrageous!

          allah FORBIDS women showing their hair.
          allah DEMANDS women know their place.
          allah INSISTS women wear their hijabs.
          Wearing makeup is HARAM in islam:no plucked eyebrows either.

          koran 24 v 31

          This is unacceptable in..iran,saudi arabia.

          What if a “devout” muslim male after saying his islamic “prayers” and doing the wudu,what if ,on seeing the uncovered hair of an unhijabbed muslima he will be lead astray to a life of sin and immorality and suddenly be driven to rape a woman?

          Those unhijabbed muslimas need to put on their veils;allah INSISTS

          So put it on,miss muslima advocates!

          It is allah’s law:PUT IT ON.{Do you dare insult and defy allah and DENY your own koran? because we here at JW will not stand for that}

          So PUT ON THE HIJAB.

          NOW

        And why should we care about your convenience? What gives you the right to conduct business in the US? Go conduct business elsewhere. It might be a pain the ass to you but it does not affect Americans. As an American I would say we need to quit thinking at all about what is convenient or desirable to non-Americans. If it serves us, fine. If it does not, go peddle your papers somewhere where you are wanted. Other countries admit or reject people on the basis of their national security and best interests. The US must now do the same. Wherever you go you make trouble and disrupt the business and lives of the people who DO belong there. I don’t care what color you are, I don’t care what it is that would make you happy. I don’t care. And neither should anyone else in the US. And by the way, you have no dignity.

    Huge applause for that brave Irish judge! And heres hoping that in Ireland, as in many other places, the criminal law allows imposition of restitution as part of the sentence and also incorporates civil liability into the criminal restitution statute. In other words the convict should compensate the victim for the lifetime of pain and loss of pleasure that (s)he inflicted. And heres hoping that that liability gets extended to the mosque and imam that counseled and procured this barbarism.

    Abhorrent… Congrats in order to the judge for the ruling and to JW for publicizing…
    However, please take the next step in logic and eventually condemn male genital mutilation as well, seeing as how it also a very old, very dumb pact that literally cuts off the end of penises for a nonexistent god. Thanks.

    • Just a Concerned Citizen says

      Feb 3, 2020 at 12:04 am

      Indeed. As long as we tolerate cutting one gender but not the other, there will always remain those who mutilate both.

      The male GLANS is not cut off. You may have an issue, but to lump it in with something as gross as FGM is actually quite insensitive. Make your own platform.

      Back in the Dark Ages they found it hard to barter in ‘damaged goods” and this was likely an issue of survival for the girls and their families. Many mothers themselves enforced this practice into recent times (e.g. the mother of Ayaan Hirsi Ali). Now, however, idiots want to carry this mentality like a bubonic plague into the modern age. They need to shape up or ship out.

    The invasion of Muslims into any civilized society, without acclimation ,will never work!
    What part of the terror attacks, rape gangs, no go zones, welfare fraud, disease, church burnings, murders of Christians and Jews, etc etc, do countries like Ireland, England, France, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Italy, Greece, etc., not understand??? It’s complete insanity. Add in the culture that approves FGM and it puts it over the edge of humanity.
    Hopefully these countries close their borders and protect their citizens and their soverignity!!
    Soverign nations need closed borders! Walls work! Look to Hungary and Poland and the USA for
    examples of protecting soverign borders! Stop the INSANITY !!
    Add in FGM and no more needs to be said!
