My latest in PJ Media:
Another effect of multiculturalism was revealed Thursday in Detroit, where a physician, Jumana Nagarwala, is charged with performing female genital mutilation (FGM) on young girls in the United States. For the first time, federal prosecutors acknowledged that there is nothing singular about Dr. Nagarwala: They revealed Thursday that Nagarwala is, according to the Detroit Free Press, “part of a secret network of physicians in a tight-knit Indian community who were cutting 7-year-old girls across the country for years as part of a religious obligation and cultural tradition that had mothers and daughters traveling all over for the procedure.”
Jumana Nagarwala is a member of a small Muslim sect originating in India, the Dawoodi Bohras. The feds said Thursday that other female doctors in California and Illinois who belonged to the sect were also performing FGM on preteen girls, and that Nagarwala herself had at one point gone to Washington, D.C., to subject five underage girls to the barbaric and grisly procedure. These doctors, according to Justice Department attorney Amy Markopoulos, “were in demand. This was not a discrete, one-time occasion. … It was not arbitrary…travel is often necessary to perform the procedure.” This is apparently true because the number of doctors willing to perform FGM is far outstripped by the number of parents who want it for their daughters.
The Free Press notes that Nagarwala is “charged with performing FGM on nine minor girls from Michigan, Illinois and Minnesota, including some who cried, screamed and bled during the procedure and one who was given Valium ground in liquid Tylenol to keep her calm, court records show.” Nagarwala is accused of doing this dirty job after hours in another doctor’s clinic in Livonia, Michigan.
The prosecution has faced numerous hurdles. “Since the case emerged in 2017,” says the Free Press, “the bulk of the charges have been dropped and the federal FGM law was declared unconstitutional in 2018. The case was set to go to trial in April 2019 on a single obstruction charge, but COVID-19 hit and the prosecution came to a halt. This year, to the chagrin of the defense, prosecutors sought new charges.” One of them is based on the claim that “Nagarwala and her three cohorts lied to the FBI about FGM that was going on in their community, and instructed others in their religious community to do the same if the FBI came asking questions.”
U.S. District Judge Bernard Friedman was the one who declared the FGM ban unconstitutional in 2018, and he may strike against the new case as well. An anti-FGM activist, Mariya Taher, finds this appalling: “Oh my God, this is crazy. Unfortunately, this is going to embolden those who believe that this must be continued … they’ll feel that this is permission, that it’s OK to do this.” She says of FGM: “This is a violation of one person’s human rights. It’s a form of gender violence. This is cultural violence.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

Oh, the Feds are involved?? Since the FBI is absolutely packed with partisan Obumbler operatives, I’m betting they are providing a clearing house for providers so victims parents will have their pick of mutilators.
Walter Sieruk says
As for that primitive brutally cruel and savage practices of Islam is FGM . This had been exposed by Brigitte Gabriel in her book THEY MUST BE STOPPED which informs the reader on page 178 that “One of most devastating practices to young girls of the Islamic world is female genital mutilation. Young girls have their clitoris removed without anesthesia …”
To say that Islam is a barbaric malicious religion is an understatement.
maria says
Islam is a death, hate and murder ideology. And all the “doctors” who practices should be jailed and never ever to be allowed to be doctors. And the best thing deport them to their native countries

Muslim Doctors Who Perform Female Genital Mutilation, like Jumana Nagarwala, will cause widespread nervous among patients. They may wonder about the commitment of Muslim doctors. Do they place political Islam ahead of proper medicine?
While there are many different Islamic techniques for performing Islamic FGM, we do not know which one was preferred by Jumana Nagarwala. Some Muslim doctors try to make the FGM operation minimal, but, ultimately, what is the purpose of it at all? Why operate on a perfectly healthy organ?
Ultimately, Muslims want this operation because it’s required in Sharia law.

Feds Reveal Secret Network of Doctors Who Perform Female Genital Mutilation
………….
Is this savagery *finally* going to be prosecuted now?
mortimer says
18 U.S. Code § 116 – Female genital mutilation
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/116
(a) Except as provided in subsection (b), whoever, in any circumstance described in subsection (d), knowingly—
(1) performs, attempts to perform, or conspires to perform female genital mutilation on another person who has not attained the age of 18 years;
shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 10 years, or both.
Please note in addition: As of September 2020, 39 U.S. states have made specific laws that prohibit FGM, while the remaining 11 states have no specific laws against FGM. The US has also participated in several UN resolutions that advocate for the eradication of FGM, including the UN’s 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child, and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW).[

Thank you, Mortimer.

This what we get for being ignorant, the unsupervised importation of savages without any pre-conditions attached; we need our heads examined.
Eleanor says
They can charge as many FGM perpetrators as they like — it’s a practice which will not stop, but will go further underground.
gravenimage says
Part of the problem is that almost no one has been prosecuted for this sick crime. Deport them after they have served their sentences.
John says
Did they have state medical licenses in all the states they were ‘practicing medicine ‘?
