Female Genital Mutilation: An Islamic Crime
FrontPageMag.com ^ | December 10, 2012 | Jamie Glazov

Posted on 12/10/2012 9:36:36 AM PST by Perseverando

Asia News recently reported how the misogynist crime of female genital mutilation (FGM) continues to be a “widespread traditional practice” in “rural areas and more remote areas of Indonesia, particularly the island of Java.” The story makes sure to remind us, naturally, that while this crime is being perpetrated in a Muslim country, the crime “is not a rule set in a rigid manner by the precepts of Islam.” It is only widespread, we are consoled, because of the actions of “the more extreme and integral fringe.”

In her coverage of this news report, freedom fighter Pamela Geller shrewdly asks the key question that somehow mysteriously eludes the minds of every breathing human being in our mainstream media: “The fringe made it widespread?”

Indeed, if only the “extreme and integral fringe” supports this sadistic and vicious crime against women, and if it is “not a rule set in a rigid manner by the precepts of Islam,” then where are all the Muslim imams, muftis and clerics in the world, and in Indonesia in particular, vociferously denouncing and repudiating this crime as un-Islamic and coming to the defense of Muslim women?

Why haven’t they shut down this crime against women, since it is, after all, so un-Islamic? Where are all the tens of thousands of Muslims gathering in mass demonstrations around the world shouting in moral indignation and fury about their young little Muslim girls having their clitorises cut out with broken glass and being maimed for life, as they do about Danish cartoons and American movies? Why do cartoons and films mean more to them than the brutal maiming of their women?

Hmmm. What a great mystery this continues to be.

One can’t help from wondering: could it all have something possibly to do with the fact that female genital

There is no religion more afraid of females than Islam.

There are no cretins more afraid of Islam than liberals.

Pam Geller is shrewd? I think she’s brilliant! How can something that is “fringe” be widespread?

Where is our media? WHY nothing about this “War On Women” from Mr Obama?

The same media blackout has his Hamas recent pledge to destroy Israel

If some person alleged to be on the Right did anything approaching this or said anything this appalling we would hear a LOT more

FGM is clearly Islam's greatest contribution to the world in the medical/scientific field. </sarc>

No defense of Muslim involvement in this practice from me. However, this article attempts to deceive its readers.

“Circumcision is obligatory (O: for both men and women. ... for women, removing the prepuce (Ar. Bazr) of the clitoris.”

This is their support for the claim that it is a required Muslim practice.

And then this is how they describe the practice:

By amputating the clitoris, Islam’s mutilators succeed in maiming the woman’s sexual desire and pleasure

The practice described in A is not the same at that described in B. Any more than circumcision of a male is the same thing as amputation of the penis.

Big deal. We have pervert-pandering doctors charging a fortune for these genital mutilation procedures and we call them transgenders.

It is clear, of course, why the Left wants to do and say nothing about Islamic FGM, and, since it has control of the boundaries of our culture’s discourse, why it makes sure to smear and punish anyone who dares to say — or tries to do — anything about it.... [T]he Left cannot reach its hand out in compassion and solidarity to the suffering people under Islam, or under any other tyranny. Doing so would be an admission of the evil of an adversary culture and ideology, which, in turn, casts a spotlight on the superiority and goodness of Western civilization, and therefore serves as a reminder of the importance of protecting and saving it. For the Left, such a concept is nightmarish and anathema, because its entire purpose is to revile and destroy its host society. For leftists to admit the dark realities of Islamic jihad and Islamic gender apartheid is to jeopardize their entire cause, identities, social belongings, cultural and material rewards, and their narcissistic cravings for approval and admiration in their “progressive” milieus.... Thus, by necessity, in the Left’s vicious and heartless mindset, the victims who suffer under barbaric adversarial regimes must be pushed into spheres of invisibility.... This is the long dark story of the Western Left, which has its hands drenched in human blood — busy at it is in perpetually sacrificing human beings on the altar of its twisted utopian ideals.

The radical Left can make common cause with radical Islam because they are "brothers" of the same "father."

I don't have a clue what non-radical Islam looks like. Though I am told that most Muslims are good, moderate, pious people of Peace, I notice that, historically, this people tends to wreak havoc wherever it goes; and it's always on the move. It is, after all, under Allah's command to "Muslimize" the human race, by the sword if necessary.

I also notice that, when they're not busy murdering the infidel, or the detested Jews, they're busy murdering each other. And mutilating their women. And as the article points out, they're doing all these things with the the full "blessings" of the Imams, the clerical class.

Though it is politically incorrect to say it, I do not believe that Allah is any kind of god. For openers, he's in the human slavery business — all believers must subject themselves utterly to his demands, or be killed. (Neither Christianity nor Judaism require abject submission to God.)

But what are those demands? I hypothesize they are the sort of "demands" that would come to the disordered mind of a primitive, barbaric sixth-century Bedouin warlord by the name of Mohammed. I further speculate that "Allah" is merely the "projection" of the mind of this guy.

For Evil is as Evil does.

Anyhoot, it seems the Islamic hierarchy of being goes something like this: Men must utterly submit themselves to the Will of Allah; women must utterly submit themselves to the will of men.

Needless to say, I find this a very disagreeable arrangement. And I do believe that there are thousands of Muslim women in Egypt right now, seeking equal rights under just laws, who would agree with me.

They know the Muslim Brotherhood is not their friend: Sharia law locks them into de facto slavery forever....

My heart goes out to them.

It seems the post-modern West is in conflict with the Sixth Century....

Well, Islam sort of practices sex change in female “circumcision”. They do their best to turn them into little boys.

“How can something that is “fringe” be widespread?”

Male genital mutilation—AKA circumcision—is also a very widespread practice in the U.S. that for some reason doesn’t get nearly the same level of attention/concern. I’ve always wondered why.

The fact remains that it is the Islamic fundamentalists who are promoting it, and demanding its re-legalization in Egypt.

betty: The radical Left can make common cause with radical Islam because they are “brothers” of the same “father.”

Spirited: Indeed, and as ‘brothers’ they have this in common: denial of free will and personal accountability.

Brother Leftist denies moral culpability in terms of cause. Nothing bad can ever be his fault because he is genetically, environmentally and chemically determined and caused to think, speak and do whatever (fill in the blanks).

Brother Muslim denies personal responsibility for his libido by making females culpable: “If she had not looked at him just so or had been wearing her burqa, none of this would have happened.”

Both brothers have this in common as well: victimhood-—they are angry victims.

A difference might be that female genitalia mutilation takes away the ability of a female to enjoy sex. Circumcision does not do the same to a male.

Islam is just a Faith of Hate and a Cult of Insanity. And how the liberals and Globalists would scream if Christians did this

Not in my neighborhood. Someone touches my daughter or wife and they’ll get to find out real fast like that they ain’t getting any 72 virgins.

I have no respect or consideration for a religion that focuses harm on others. Islam is a false religion and one that is based on hate and fear.

But, if they want to mess with my family, I’ll show them the true meaning of what sheer utter terror feels like.
