It will take me a few minutes to find the picture... stand by...

Located that picture- view it, and wince...

And just for the record?

It's not "circumcision"--

it's mutilation...

The tenets of multiculturalism require us to embrace diversity.

Remember strength through diversity!

Surely you are not going to be bigoted and suggest that your culture is any better than theirs are you?

Sure would like to show this post to the fella yesterday who was loading his 3 young daughters into a mini-van at Domino’s Pizza, the daughters all wore head scarfs. How could anyone want this for his family? American has freedom of religion, and he’d best protect his children from this one, by switching out of it.

Since Mohammad did not ban female circumcision, it was permissible and, at the very least, could not be banned! "The most often mentioned narration reports a debate between Muhammed and Um Habibah (or Um ‘Atiyyah). This woman, known as an exciser of female slaves, was one of a group of women who had immigrated with Muhammed. Having seen her, Muhammad asked her if she kept practicing her profession. She answered affirmatively, adding: "unless it is forbidden, and you order me to stop doing it." Muhammed replied: "Yes, it is allowed. Come closer so I can teach you: if you cut, do not overdo it, because it brings more radiance to the face, and it is more pleasant for the husband." ...Sami A. Aldeeb Abu Sahlieh, "To Mutilate in the Name of Jehovah or Allah: Legitimization of Male and Female Circumcision," Medicine and Law, July 1994, pp. 575-622.
