Islams Hatred of the Clitoris FrontPageMagazine.com | October 19, 2001
IF YOU HATE WOMEN, and you hate their sexuality, and you are terrified that you cannot control it, the most effective thing you can do is to mutilate female sexual pleasure. This can be done by a sexual lobotomy, which will destroy an essential and sacred part of a womans natural makeup. In achieving this feat on all women, you will become able to ruthlessly dominate them.
Thats what female circumcision is all about. Its about obliterating the clitoris, or the entire outer vagina. It is the barbarity that exists where misogyny festers most: in the Muslim and African world. The Muslims are the principal religious group that practice female circumcision. In Egypt, for instance, 97 percent of women are circumcised. Their clitorises are amputated. In countries like Sudan, meanwhile, the women-haters are not so kind: all the womens external genital organs are completely removed. In a savagery called infibulation, the clitoris, the two major outer lips (labia majora) and the two minor inner lips (labia minora) are amputated. Nawal El Saadawi has documented these horrifying realities in The Hidden Face of Eve: Women in the Arab World. She demonstrates how the violence of female circumcision is performed on girls anywhere from the ages of one month to puberty. Usually, it is done around the age of seven or eight. Anesthetics are never used. The child is pinned down by several women, while one of them attacks. After infibulation, the small outer opening of the vagina is the only portion left intact. A tiny piece of wood or reed is inserted to allow urine and menstrual blood to seep out. Extra narrowing of the opening is carried out with stitches, which remain until marriage. The victims legs are often bound together from hip to ankle and she is immobile for about a month or two. This violence has to occur because, in much of the Islamic world, the females genital area is considered dirty and unacceptable. For example, in Egypt the uncircumcised girl is called nigsa (unclean). Thus, it has to be made "clean." Many of the victims lose their lives during this torture which is often inflicted with broken glass. Many other victims are afflicted with acute and chronic infections for the rest of their lives. With serious and disabling lifelong consequences, the mutilation robs women of their equilibrium. It deprives them from enjoying the fullness of their sexuality and the completeness of their lives. In terms of sexual pleasure, for instance, we know that approximately 75 percent of women cannot achieve orgasm without clitoral stimulation. In other words, the possibility of orgasm has been obliterated for tens of millions of women in the Muslim world. So what does it mean if the psychic, mental and physical health of women cannot be complete if they do not experience sexual pleasure? The terror of the circumcision itself tracks its traumatized victims down like a nightmare. Most, if not all, of these poor women end up suffering from serious sexual and/or mental distortions. The mutilation of their sexual being becomes the epicenter where sex and violence meet constantly in their lives with them as victims. Wedding night is often quite eventful. In some parts of the Arab and African world, the husband assaults the wife after the wedding. In Somalia, for instance, the groom beats the bride with a leather whip. After this romantic apex, he cuts the sealed vagina with a sharp scalpel or razor in order to have intercourse. He then has prolonged repeated intercourse with her for a week to prevent the scarring from closing the vaginal opening again. During this time the wife must lie still and not move. Meanwhile, the husband takes the bloody sharp object, which represents the virginity of his wife, and makes rounds around the community showing it off for approval. Scholars such as Raphael Patai and Vincent Crapanzano have documented these phenomena. After this honeymoon period, the woman is now, for the first time in her life, actually recognized as a person because she has become the extension of her husband. Her status might even improve if she has a child (a boy). She will be humiliated and shamed, however, if she has a non-child (a girl). And if a little innocent girl enters this world, it will only be a short time before her genitals share the same fate as that of her mothers. When the torturers and soul-destroyers begin to slice, who will hear her cries? |

Groucho? Chico? Harpo?.....Gummo?????
Perhaps, but some day in the future.....the Evil Circs WILL ATTACK!!!
WHAT?!! Why is this problem UNKNOWN in all Christian countries (with the exception of USA)?
I was circumsized as birth.
So how can you know?
I am VERY VERY sorry. I opened my window in the way that I missed the introduction. I thought that this stupid statement was yours. I am sorry.
That should have been phrased "you BELIEVE you will be able to ruthlessly dominate them."
Sexual pleasure has very little to do with whether or not a woman will allow herself to be dominated.
Yeah I saw a documentary on this at one time. Heartbreaking... absolutely horrifying.
Heck if they're not getting any pleasure from sex, and the men have this kind of attitude toward women, maybe these moms are doing their society a favor.
(Speaking rhetorically of course.)
This is part of the tissue ALWAYS removed by "Circumcision!"
HHHMMMNNNNN???!
"But It's Just a Harmless Procedure performed for Religious & Hygeine purposes!"
RIGHT!
Doc
If you really want to talk let's talk about two men in good health and say mid age. That to me would be a better comparison.Okay, dude.
Females with their clits intact won't crust up with smegma after going one day without a shower.
A guy with an uncircumcised penis will.
Eeewwwwwww.
A guy with an uncircumcised penis will.
You clearly don't know what you are talking about. Argument from ignorence.
Every psycologically normal male considers his 'unit' perfect. Perhaps just a little on the small side ;-)
As to which is objectivly better only women who have had sex with both (and their views are filterd by who they wound up married to) or men who were circumcised as adults have seen both sides of the fence.
Mr Natural is perfect just the way he is.
