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

Right. And thus it follows that any woman can be raped — even gang raped — with impunity. And if she does not have four male witnesses to testify before the Sharia court that the rape actually occurred, then the rape simply didn't happen.
Even if she can come up with four male witnesses, thus to be discharged from any imputed personal culpability for the event; and even if her aggressors are charged with a criminal act (a remote possibility) and she is restored to her community, STILL her male family members — and even her own mother — will try to kill her, for she has brought "dishonor on the family."
Sick, sick, sick.
Muslim ideology simply "castrates" men — because it totally fouls the relations that naturally obtain between the male and female of our species. But Muslim males typically don't seem to be aware of this problem, though it is a problem that strikes them at the most basic root of their human nature.
Except for Salmon Rushdie, who did notice the problem, who was aware of it, and wrote about it in The Satanic Verses.
His speaking out earned him a Fatwa from no less a personage than (the late) Ayatollah Khomeini himself: There's a price on Rushdie's head. But so far, no one has managed to collect it.
In closing, why should there not be a culture, not only of female, but of male victimhood, when one's theology itself preaches the doctrine of submission to a God who lives on routine human bloodshed?
Thank you ever so much, spirited irish, dear sister in Christ, for your astute observations!
Because cutting off some male foreskin from an infant is not the same as tricking an 11-year-old girl into a “little nick,” then having ten sisters and aunts hold you down, legs spread, naked, while your entire clitoris is excised with two or more angled passes of a straigh razor.
That’s what happens in FMG, not the little “nick” you will claim happens.
Any more than you should believe that the Nazis just gave “showers” to the Jews, and sometimes they passed out.
Don’t mistake the atrocity cover story of Nazis (or Islamonazis, for the reality of what they do.
Unless you are A. a damn fool or B. a damn liar.
Well said, Travis.
And don’t forget that in n. Africa, in addition to excising the entire clitoris, some tribes of Muslims will remove the labia and finish up theprocedure by sewing the vagina shut, necessitating her reopening on the wedding night by the husband with a knife. After all, blood on the sheets is proof of virginity.
The devil’s own false religion. It makes the devil’s deal with men: enslave and rape women at will in life, and get 72 virgins in heaven if you die in jihad.
Sick, sick, sick. The most wildly successful evil mass-cult in history, because it plays to male desire and weakness.
We’re going to find out, sooner or later, if Abdul will pray, to a glowing crater.
Very well said.
I have a better idea. Should someone attempt to harm your wife or daughter in the name of Islam, how about restraining them and letting them experience the glory of mutilation for themselves?
Not a bad idea. I was just going to slowly cut them up and feed them to my daughters pythons and let them watch being slowly consumed over weeks and weeks and weeks.
:)
WoW much too much of a negative factor this subject for me to approach......
I need no more impetus to despise Islam... there is too much to HATE..
Disfigureing little girls in this way or in any way.. fills me with disgust..
Makes the bible reference to comit genocide(on some) seem a worthy objective..
I’ll leave it at that.. in the bible GOD hates some things..
Islam is a proven hateful religion.. in a hundred ways..
Tolerance of it is even................ HATEFUL..
LOL... Okay, I’ll feed the bad guys to the retic. He’ll eat anything and anyone.
Lovely wedding night. And you know he's doing that for a reason and has no intention of waiting until she heals.
How those women can defend this religion and culture is BEYOND me. I don't know why they don't bail at the least opportunity.
The ones that are the most reprehensible are the ones who've made it to the free west and still carry the barbarity with them. The ones trapped there beyond their control have no choice but to endure it.
Apparently you missed Sherman Logan’s response at Post 9.
“extreme and integral fringe” ... isn’t “integral fringe” oxymoronic?
There is a continuum of FMG. At its mildest it is little more than a symbolic nick. This goes thru stages of removal of the prepuce, amputation of the entire clitoris, excisement of various parts or all of the labia, to all of the above plus sewing the vagina shut.
I’m not in favor of any of them, but let’s not make ourselves look foolish by claiming they’re all the same thing. Any more than the normal male circumcision is “the same thing” as amputation of the penis and/or testicles. After all, they’re all “male genital mutilation.”
BTW, there are some men in this country who get seriously worked up over the issue of MGM. I don’t get it, personally. It just isn’t that big a deal to most men who’ve been thru the procedure.
FWIW, you might want to know that some, I don't know what percentage, of women who've been through the procedure, even of the most extreme variety, claim that it doesn't remove their ability to enjoy sex with their husbands.
I have no idea whether they know what they're missing or if they are telling the truth, but that's what they say when talking to female western anthropologists.
Which ought to give us something to think about as to whether we fully understand the mechanisms of female sexual pleasure.
“there are some men in this country who get seriously worked up over the issue of MGM. I don’t get it, personally. It just isn’t that big a deal to most men who’ve been thru the procedure.”
You’re quite correct there’s a continuum of both FGM and MGM. Circumcision isn’t the equivalent of getting one’s penis cut off (nor did I ever claim it was), nor is it the equivalent of the most radical forms of FGM. That said, it is largely perpetrated on innocent victims who by definition do not consent to the procedure. Moreover, my understanding is that no anesthesia is used (this is certain true at a bris) even though it is now well-established that the procedure causes pain to infant males subjected to the procedure.
There’s mixed evidence of efficacy, but for whatever minor benefit is conferred, I’m not sure there’s any inherent benefit over circumcision at age 18. If so, it’s unclear why we routinely subject male infants to this trauma instead of letting said males decide for themselves at age 18 whether the small benefits are worth whatever discomfort is involved (I’m assuming that age 18, it would not be dangerous to use anesthesia for the procedure as I know from experience that anesthesia is certainly used for sterilization etc.).
So my point wasn’t to claim male circumcision is as bad as FGM might be for the average FGM victim. I’m simply expressing surprise that what might be viewed as a gratuitously traumatic procedure is so routinely accepted for males. I think visitors from Mars might well wonder why we are so barbaric etc.
For every Daughter that undergoes FGM their father and/or brothers, uncles, grandpas, etc.. should have to undergo Castration...
This would end that barbaric practice immediately!
Of course the radical left has to bite their tongues as they pray to the suicide pact that is cultural relativism.
