A woman in London was convicted on Friday over the genital cutting of her daughter, becoming the first person to be successfully prosecuted under the country’s law banning the practice.
The 37-year old woman was found guilty of committing female genital mutilation in August 2017, when her daughter was 3. The girl’s father, 43, was cleared of charges. Neither parent was identified because of reporting restrictions placed on the case.
“Female genital mutilation has an appalling physical and emotional impact on victims that usually lasts their entire life,” said Lynette Woodrow, a deputy chief crown prosecutor, in a statement. “A 3-year-old has no power to resist or fight back.”
A jury in London heard the girl was “deliberately cut and her injuries amounted to F.G.M.,” the statement from prosecutors said, referring to female genital mutilation, the practice of a girl’s genitalia being cut and removed.

Gee. How culturally insensitive of that jury. Islam is a Religion of Peace and all that.
Chop off their junk. Eye for an eye you know.
That’s Islamaphobic. /sarc
How do you feel about circumcision on male infants?
If you hold the opinion that they are not equivalent, then please explain the difference.
They both are done primarily for religious reasons.
They both are generally done on children
They both are cutting off parts of the genitalia.
To accept one and not the other -or- to condemn one and not the other seems inconsistent.
East London and Luton will explode in riots! Allahu Akbar!!!!
Is there an internet prize for the most stupidest post of the day? If so - YOU WIN.
The main reason for FGM is to deny a woman any sexual pleasure in her life time. In fact it is done to increase the pain in having sex. And having children?
Triple the pain.
Circumcision for men is a health benefit. Among other reasons.
Better then rather doing it when adult.
Sorry, you do not get to deflect the conversation by asking an irrelevant question.
I would suggest a human anatomy lesson...
a clitoris and a foreskin have very different functions...but you already knew that unless you are mentally challenged....
There, fixed it.
Watch the muzzies start rioting, looting, and burning cars smashing windows, and whining about islamaphobia.
Totally different
Watch a clitorectomy vs a Bris
Comparing circumcision with a clitorectomy is often the start of completely intellectually dishonest argument attempting to equate the two.
Since you asked.
I think we’re all on the same page.
And when I read further, while composing this, I see he went exactly there.
Unsurprised.
Do you weep for your lost foreskin?
Yeah, he went there.
Then he chickened out and left the thread.
I guess I don’t blame him. If you make stupid uninformed remarks, go away quietly.
Like my daddy always said; “When you’re in a hole, quit digging”.
In the UK have been many of these vile acts against young girls. It is thousands. Why is this the first conviction?
Where in the hell are the feminists protesting the act of depriving women of their god given sensuality and loving commune with man and pleasure?
The answer is quite simple. The feminists are mostly left wing political activists and do not give a damn about the barbaric mutilation of other women so long as it is not done to them!
