Australia: Muslim woman convicted of arranging to have her daughters’ genitals mutilated in Somalia
BY ROBERT SPENCER
Establishment media treatments of female genital mutilation routinely insist that it has nothing to do with Islam, but actually FGM is mandated in Islamic law: “Circumcision is obligatory (for every male and female) (by cutting off the piece of skin on the glans of the penis of the male, but circumcision of the female is by cutting out the bazr ‘clitoris’ [this is called khufaadh ‘female circumcision’]).” — Umdat al-Salik e4.3, translated by Mark Durie, The Third Choice, p. 64
Why is it obligatory? Because Muhammad is held to have said so: “Abu al- Malih ibn Usama’s father relates that the Prophet said: ‘Circumcision is a law for men and a preservation of honour for women.’” — Ahmad Ibn Hanbal 5:75
“Narrated Umm Atiyyah al-Ansariyyah: A woman used to perform circumcision in Medina. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said to her: ‘Do not cut severely as that is better for a woman and more desirable for a husband.’” — Abu Dawud 41:5251
That hadith is classified as weak, but this one is classified as sahih (reliable): “Aishah narrated: ‘When the circumcised meets the circumcised, then indeed Ghusl is required. Myself and Allah’s Messenger did that, so we performed Ghusl.’” — Jami` at-Tirmidhi 108
If Muhammad had the genitals of his favorite wife, Aisha, mutilated, that is a strong endorsement of the practice from the man who is an “excellent example” (Qur’an 33:21) for Muslims.
Why does it matter whether or not FGM is Islamic? Because the practice will never be eradicated if its root causes are not confronted. As long as those Muslims continue to believe that Allah and Muhammad want it done, for some that will override all other considerations.
This conviction is good, but in America, a case against two doctors who performed FGM was thrown out; the Leftist activist judge said the law against FGM was unconstitutional. And so more little girls will suffer.
“Qld mum convicted over genital mutilation,” by Warren Barnsley, Newcastle Herald, February 13, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A woman has been convicted in Brisbane of arranging for her daughters’ genitals to be mutilated.
A Queensland woman has been found guilty of arranging her two daughters to have their genitals mutilated in Somalia.
The woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, denied she had taken the girls, then aged 12 and nine, to her birth nation in April 2015 to undergo the procedure.
She was convicted by a Brisbane District Court jury on Wednesday of two counts of removing a child from the state female genital mutilation (FGM)….
The trial heard the woman, who had undergone a similar procedure as a girl, had her daughters endure FGM a few days after arriving in Somalia.
One of the girls was called inside from playing outside her grandmother’s house and had no idea what was about to happen when she had the painful procedure.
She was conscious throughout and it caused pain for days. Her sister was also subjected to the procedure, also with their mother by her side.
“(Their mother) had them in her care for the entire time. She was there when they were mutilated not long after they arrived in Somalia,” crown prosecutor Dejana Kovac said.
“She extended the trip to give them time to heal before returning to Australia.”
The family returned to their home in the Logan area, south of Brisbane, seven months later. Then the girls’ stepsister tipped off child safety services.
The girls told Queensland police about their experiences, leading to the charges against their mother….
In a police interview, the woman said their trip had been to visit her mother and she’d done “nothing” in relation to a genital mutilation procedure.
Whatever had happened to the girls was “from God”, she said.
Asked by Justice Leanne Clare if there was any reason why sentencing should not be passed down, the woman, through an interpreter, said she had cancer and back problems….
NOW, they lay low.
Ghusl is an Arabic term referring to the full-body ritual purification mandatory before the performance of various rituals and prayers, for any adult Muslim after having sexual intercourse, ejaculation..
Isn’t that special
Dang old Youtube is to blame.
You’ve been mutilated yourself. You’ve suffered the pain and the loss of parts of your natural anatomy yourself.
What’s your first thought? Is it, “I don’t like this and I’ll never support it.” Is it, “I want to protect the ones I love from having this done to them?”
Well, what we find out here is, “Oh I can’t wait until my daughter is mutilated too. I’ll do my best to arrange that as soon as I can.”
“Hey, they’re just as good as we are. Who are we to judge them?”
Honestly, humanity’s collective IQ has dropped a last 25 points in the last 20 years, maybe 40...
Waiting for our feminists to demonstrate their outrage............birds chirping.
It is one effed-up “religion”
Barbarians being barbaric.
Just reminds me that we have an enemy in congress
Does the “women’s movement” have any comment on this situation? moozlums despise women except as chattel...even loser moolzum women do so. What a barbaric loser “culture”. Maybe it is a dys-culture?
Yes a religion based on the delusions and hallucinations of a paranoid schizophrenic.
Time for Ilhan Omar to state her position on Female Genital Mutilation.
You for it Omar? Your country,(Somalia - because you certainly are no American) does this monstrosity - do you advocate for it?
Who goes to Somalia for any other sort of surgery? It is the definitive Third World country.
Genital mutilation. Stoning Christians. Executing infidels. Islam doesn’t get any more loving than that!
sharing the planet with barbarians who want to kill us.
And more to come, the way things are going!
