I think the news media just cannot bring itself to describing any of the details of this brutal practice. Are they doing their readers and viewers an honest favor or are they trying to minimize the bad things this might imply for the Religion of Peace?

You would have thought the woman could have sympathesized with the girl.

Follow the MONEY.

In the book Infidel by Ayaan Hirsi Ali she describes the genital mutilation she and her sister suffered at the hands of the town blacksmith when they were around 4-5 years old - with no anesthesia. They cut and scape out the inside and then sew up the outside with only a hole big enough for private duties. Many, many young girls die from infection. Barbaric! And these people want to rule the world.

Who’s looking? They don’t even want married people to see each other naked!

P.S. I forgot to mention — when they are forced to marry (usually an older man) on the wedding night the man will rip them open or cut them open with a knife. I know this is gruesome, but that’s what they do. It’s in the book “Infidel” — read it!

Thanks!

Of course, I think a certain subset of Freepers think women who have orgasms are sinners...

“It is practiced by Muslims and Christians alike, deeply rooted in the Nile Valley region and parts of sub-Saharan African, and is also practiced in Yemen and Oman.’

What’s with FOX?

CHRISTIANS do NOT mutilate the body of a girl to keep her sexually “tame”. It’s MUSLIMS that do that.

of course, since the procedure was done in a bootleg “clinic”, the ban is bound to fail.
