Doubts are growing about the authenticity of an edict attributed to the Sunni Islamist group Isis controlling the Iraqi city of Mosul about female genital mutilation (FGM).

A top UN official quoted from a statement saying that Isis wanted all females aged between 11 and 46 in the northern city to undergo the procedure.

Jacqueline Badcock said the decree was of grave concern.

The horrendous implications of this report not withstanding, the U.N. spokesperson on mandated female genital mutilation is named Jacqueline Badcock? Is this story from the Onion or does no one even think anything through...ever?

The UN’s resident and humanitarian co-ordinator in Iraq — dealing with the issue of female genitalia mutilation — is named Jacqueline BADCOCK?!?

You can’t make this sh*t up.

The BBC is throwing a life ring to ISIS.

Yes, I think there was a seriously negative reaction to this. So now the BBC is saying that it’s all because ISIS “misspoke.”

Innocent peaceful people will always be irrelevant until they defeat the people trying to use them .
