Any group whether it be religious or cultural or any other name they choose to adopt as their "reason for belief" that women are to be regarded only as sexual objects and child bearers are so off the chart
in humanity, I can only view them as extremists and mentally impaired.
You are correct - Africa is the birthplace of FGM - however why the intellectual middle eastern population wove it into their religion - inarguably the easiest way to achieve conformity making it a religious tradition - tells me that intellect in females is disregarded well over their service as sexual release objects only for the male.
FGM practices should be punishable by death - as they not only mutliate the women, they determine a life of poor health and even death thinking only to capture that woman's recepticle for their own uses denying her - her choice, her own pleasure and her humanity itself.
At the onset of the FGM when a young woman of puberty is beginning to understand the sexual role of females, along comes the "doctor" or rather "cutter/slicer" to sentence her to servitude for the remainder of her existence.
How any western "modern" woman can accept this for her sisters to me is fully involved in oppression. To say nothing, do nothing, permit and condone, to allow the practice to continue is fratricide.
And under the cover of devotion to one's religion is merely a weak and terrified excuse.
As long as any religion continues this practice they have fouled religion itself.
