They are right about it inflicting physical damage upon the victim. I would consider death to be considerable physical damage.

Turnabout is fair play.

This "doctor" should have his beloved willy removed.

“Two years and three months”? Don’t they have ASBOs in Egypt?

It seems the Egyptians are breaking the Modern Islam mold. Look at this from Gateway:

On January 6, Abdel Fatah al-Sisi became the first Egyptian president ever to visit the St. Mark Cathedral during Coptic Christmas Eve Mass and offer his good wishes to the nation’s Christian minority.

Because Islamic law bans wishing non-Muslims well on their religious celebrations, all previous presidents — Nasser, Sadat, Mubarak, and of course Morsi — had never attended Coptic Christmas mass.

As expected, the greetings el-Sisi received from the hundreds of Christians present were jubilant. His address was often interrupted by applause, clapping, and cheers of “We love you!” and “Hand in hand” — phrases he reciprocated. He said, among other things:

“Egypt has brought a humanistic and civilizing message to the world for millennia and we are here today to confirm that we are capable of doing so again. Yes, a humanistic and civilizing message should once more emanate from Egypt. This is why we must not call ourselves anything other than “Egyptians.” This is what we must be — Egyptians, just Egyptians, Egyptians indeed! I just want to tell you that — Allah willing, Allah willing — we shall build our nation together, accommodate each other, make room for each other, and we shall like each other—love each other, love each other in earnest, so that people may see… So let me tell you once again, Happy New Year, Happy New Year to you all, Happy New Year to all Egyptians!”

Once again, the generals who deposed Obama’s chosen Islamic dictator show they want to be part of the future, not the Dark Ages. The GOP needs to remind Americans that Hillary also wanted the clit-cutters in power. “War on Women” Islamic style.

Also, wouldn’t be great for Boehner to invite al-Sisi to speak to Congress.

Al-Sisi and Obama hate each other.

Double face palm. Now who would those rights groups be? The Muslim Brotherhood? ISIS? Al Qaida?

I'm not sure even Jimmy Carter would describe them as rights groups.

Does the young girl who died have any rights?

The lawyer said the court also fined Fadl $70 and ordered his clinic closed for a year, and handed el-Batea’s father a three-month suspended sentence for complicity in subjecting his daughter to the procedure.

Let's see, the doctor got 27 months and will probably be out in 7, had to pay $70, and the girl's own father got a draconian 3-MONTH sentence, SUSPENDED. A 13-year-old girl is dead, and this is what her life was worth.
