Thousands of cases of female genital mutiliation in the UK in the last year
How utterly abhorrent.

Goddamn, how is FGM even a thing? Did it start as some sort of attempt to make women have something comparable to male circumcision? Male circumcision is at least done for hygiene reasons. Is there any sort of hygienic reason for FGM or is it just to subjugate and humiliate women?
Even more disturbing is....look at the above denial. This is a person who lives in this country that is having these thousands of mutilations. It's mostly Somalians and 99% of Somalians are Muslim. So it's not common sense to assume this is most likely a majority of Muslims committing this, rather it's just someone saying Muslims literally are responsible for every bad thing, ever.
That is the disconnect from reality we are dealing with.
>FGM predates Islam but thousands of years
>FGM is concentrated in Sub-Saharan Africa, not the Middle East, where it is practiced by Muslims & Christians alike
>In most Muslim countries FGM is either very rare, or non-existent
>the Qu'ran says nothing to support FGM
No denial here Surt, I just understand that correlation =/= causation, and that FGM is a cultural/ethnic issue intrinsic not to Islam, or Somalians, but Africa, and ancient traditions. Maybe educate yourself first before making stupid and ignorant assertions. 😘

Who said Islam invented it?
The point is, your pal Adam in the other thread was all "It's mostly Somalians and Christians practice it!!" But nope, they are 99% Muslim.
Try again, and remember this is the UK. I give two shits about other Muslim countries right now, the topic is about FGM in the UK. You had thousands of cases of it...in the last year alone.

Nope not at all buddy, but what you seem to be struggling to grasp, is that this is not because they are Muslim. 😐
What you're struggling to grasp is..just because you say it's not about being Muslim means nothing here. The little stats you pulled from other countries are not the UK, and this is about FGM in the UK.
