Female genital mutilation,...is not a crime in Russia [Truncated title.]
Thomson Reuters Foundation, Reuters ^ | November 27, 2018 | Daria Litvinova

Posted on 11/27/2018 7:12:34 PM PST by familyop

Best Clinic, a small chain of private medical centres in Moscow, said in an advert on its website that it carried out "female circumcision" on girls aged between five and 12, the Russian language online newspaper Meduza said on Tuesday. Meduza published screenshots of the advert, which Best Clinic has since removed from its website...The Prosecutor General's Office was not immediately available to comment. The health ministry declined to comment, saying that female circumcision is not a medical procedure and is not in their competence...The World Health Organization says about 200 million women and girls worldwide have undergone FGM, which can cause chronic pain, infertility and death from blood loss and infection.

My guess is that Putin will take care of this loophole quickly.

Apparently it’s not a crime here either since it’s still pretty common among Muslim communities in the US.

He has not shown himself to be tolerant of sharia muzzies, unlike Michigan.

You do know that Muslims make up the largest minority in Russia with Putin’s blessing yes?

Well, what about female mental mutilation? Happens here all the time. Between feminism, progressive teachers in pubic schools, Democrats, the MSM’s agenda and SJWs, the female mind is shredded.

Michigan or minnesota (can’t remember which one) just declared female genital mutlilation is not a crime, but by golly a man in missouri just had his child removed and put in foster care because he disciplined her with a belt for acting up in school- he faces a year in prison, and a $3000 fine- but muslims can physical assault and disfigure and scar and seriously harm their children wit mutilation? Seriously?

Folks, our country is slowly but surely cowering to islam just like france and the EU has done- brutal islamic acts are being tolerated, and even protected by law, while simple discipline of children by US Citizens is being outlawed and punished? Islam is creeping in- like muslims said, America has the watches, but they, the enemy, have the time- in other words, they are slowly but surely conquering nations by mental intimidation, causing the nations to cower- not through brute force- but simply by implication- and America is falling for it, just like other nations already have- unfortunately-

My take is that Putin prefers a captive church/msoque, etc. like China.

Putin pours tons of money into Chechnya and to his point man there: Ramzan Kadyrov (who has been sanctioned by the Trump administration) — while ethnic Russian provinces beyond Moscow languish in poverty and dilapidated infrastructure.

Isn’t genital mutilation what some of the more committed Transies do?

According to some federal judge it’s not a crime in the USA.
He threw out the law that made it illegal.

“The World Health Organization says about 200 million women and girls worldwide have undergone FGM, which can cause chronic pain, infertility and death from blood loss and infection.”

Why don’t they just abort them like we do, instead of wasting money for medical treatment and funerals.

I think we are entering a new dark age of barbarism. This is horrifying.

It apparently is not a crime in America; goes hand in hand with honor killing...Islam is really fearsome.
