The militant group Islamic State (Isis) has ordered all girls and women in and around Iraq's northern city of Mosul to undergo female genital mutilation, the United Nations says.

The "fatwa" issued by the Sunni Muslim fighters would potentially affect 4 million women and girls, the UN resident and humanitarian coordinator in Iraq, Jacqueline Badcock, told reporters in Geneva by videolink from Irbil.

But it will be done with “peace and love.”

Would N.O.W. and so forth label this a “WAR ON WOMEN”?
I will be waiting for the comments of OUR government. Could be a real long wait.

Every day is Halloween at the UN.

What do you expect from a collection of ivory-tower, one-worlder, dress-up clowns and drama queens?

Every day run of the mill muslims appear to be sheep. They are the only people who can stop ISIS.

If it wasn’t such a bizarrely savage action against innocents by a benighted religion, one could hope this was true and would be carried out—in order to turn the opinion of the world completely against the “religion of peace”

I’m sick of liberal intelligentsia making excuses for Islamists because ‘they have different cultural norms from us, but that doesn’t mean they are inferior or evil”

And I’m tired of the excuse that ‘it’s just a minority of Muslims who are strict believers, maybe only 10%, with maybe another 20% who lean that way and you shouldn’t judge all Muslims because of this minority.”

Bull——. That’s 100,000,000 religious fanatics who don’t deserve anything but contempt. What would the liberal intelligentsia say if 10% of Christians or Buddhists wanted to do the same things in the name of their religion.

Shhh, don't let the liberals hear about this. It will force them to compromise their moral and ethical principles even further.

At some point they may have to admit to themselves that they are basically cowards using verbal jiu-jitsu to avoid their conscience.

So, what do the little Blue Berets plan to do about it?

Cry all ya want. Unless you take action, they’re still going to do it.

True. If someone said they were going to do this to my wife, sister, daughter, or mother, you couldn’t stop me from fighting them. Even if I was unarmed, I’d be out there with a butcher knife trying to take some of them down.

More likely, they will sue to have it covered under Obamacare...

Christians do the same thing, they won’t allow abortions.

Pray America wakes up
