Russian mufti calls for universal female genital mutilation

[tay]

Egyptian member of parliament Elhamy Agina has encouraged women to undergo female genital mutilation (FGM) to “reduce their sexual desires” to match that of Egypt’s “sexually weak” men, Parlmany reported.

“We are a population whose men suffer from sexual weakness, which is evident because Egypt is among the biggest consumers of sexual stimulants that only the weak will consume,” Agina said. “If we stop FGM, we will need strong men and we don’t have men of that sort.”

The parliamentarian, who hails from Daqahliya, said that it is therefore better for women to undergo FGM because it “reduces a woman’s sexual appetite” and women should “stand by their men” in order for life to proceed smoothly.

FGM continues to be a widespread practice in Egypt, despite being banned in 2008. Article 242 of Egypt’s Penal Code criminalizes the circumcision of girls and the punishment for performing FGM is a prison sentence ranging from three months to two years or a fine of EGP 5,000.

Egypt’s cabinet recently approved a draft law that will harshen the punishment by increasing jail time for practicing FGM to a minimum of five years and a maximum of seven years. The law must be ratified by the country’s parliament before being introduced into the legal code.

According to the 2015 Egypt Health Issues Survey (EHIS), around 9 in 10 women aged 15-49 have undergone the procedure. This number is only four percent lower than statistics from a 2008 survey.

The study found a greater prevalence of the practice among those with lower levels of education and those living in rural areas, compared to respondents living in urban areas and with higher levels of education and wealth.

According to the World Health Organization, Egypt, Somalia, Guinea, Djibouti and Sierra Leone have the highest rates of FGM. A 2013 UNICEF report found that Egypt has the world’s highest total number of FGM sufferers, with 27.2 million women having undergone FGM.

Egyptian member of parliament Elhamy Agina continued his recent string of controversial statements, this time calling for all women to undergo mandatory ‘virginity tests’ to ensure their virginity prior to being admitted to universities in Egypt.

Agina, who was previously disciplined for stating women must undergo female genital mutilation, called on the Minister of Higher Education to issue a mandate that would require him or his officials to review all virginity tests prior to providing female students with university cards.

“Any girl who enters university, we have to check her medical examination to prove that she is a Miss. Therefore, each girl must present an official document upon being admitted to university stating she’s a Miss,” said Agina, with ‘Miss’ being a censored way to refer to the woman as a virgin.

“No one should be upset by this decision,” said Agina in the interview, adding that the tests would help reduce the number or ‘urfi marriages’ in Egypt. “If you’re upset then that means you’re scared that your daughter is [or was] in an ‘urfi’ marriage behind your back.”

Urfi marriages, sometimes translated into English as customary marriages, involve a marriage without the public approval of the bride’s guardians. In other words, while the marriage contract may be officiated by a religious cleric or a state official, the marriage takes place in secret and only requires two other witnesses.

However, in recent years, there has been an increase in undocumented urfi marriages, leading some to criticize the practice. Conservative clerics have said that undocumented urfi marriages are a cover for pre-marital sex.

According to Agina, if a woman ‘fails’ the virginity test, then her parents will immediately be notified. Agina hopes that this will act as a deterrent for both men and women hoping to enter an undocumented urfi marriage.

Ending his statements, Agina called on Egypt’s Parliament, media, and university officials to support his initiative.

Responding to his statements, Egyptians on social media have ridiculed Agina, calling for him to face harsh discipline.

Earlier this week, Agina made headlines for saying that the victims of the migrant boat that capsized last week en route to Italy “deserve no sympathy”.

Agina, who is a member of the parliament’s human rights committee, said that Egypt’s youths attempt illegal migration in pursuit of an “unguaranteed fantasy.”

How can any religion produce so many evil jackals as Islam? Religions have always been violent, but they've slowly reformed!! What are the followers of Islam doing about it? How have they've explained it? (and blaming Israel and the US does not count, seriously- the world is getting tired of apologizing for being free!). To find peace and promote a free life, one would imagine that Iman's would be preaching acceptance; yell out loud that they denounce terrorism, instead of denouncing and blaming 'atheism/science'!!!! denounce terrorist clearly man. What with Antisemitism, why and to what purpose?? What is causing this much hatred and violence in a religion?

The religion of Islam is getting more barbaric as time goes on.

For instance, here are some of the laws Turkey is bringing forward;

2016/08/10

Christof Lehmann (nsnbc) : Turkey’s Constitutional Court annulled legislation that prohibits all sexual acts with minors under the age of 15 as sexual abuse. The Court’s ruling caused outrage among rights activists and academics. A study conducted by researchers at Gaziantep University revealed that one in every three marriages in Turkey is a child marriage.

The Constitutional Court ruled on the issue after a district court complained that the current law does not discriminate between age groups in cases of child sex abuse. In practice, the law makes no difference regardless whether an adult has sex with a 14-year old or a 4-year old.

The district court noted that the law does not provide legal consequences for the “consent” of victims in cases where the child victim is from 12 to 15 years of age and able to understand the meaning of the sexual act.

The District Court added that: “This creates an imbalance between legal benefits and sanctions that should be preserved in crime and punishment”. In a 7 – 6 decision the judges at the Constitutional Court agreed with the District Court and annulled the provision. The new (old) rules will come into effect on January 13, 2017.

Always? Does that include pre-1917?
