This genital mutiliation crap is an African cultural artifact-- drawn out of their ancient tribal practices.
This is not part of any Islamic tradition that I'm aware of. And having been with women from that part of the world ( in the Biblical sense), I can state this with some confidence.
It's pathetic that some here equate this to a religious practice.
This is not part of any Islamic tradition that I'm aware of.
So why don't Muslim clerics CONDEMN it? Can't they excommunicate (or whatever they call it) any African Muslim who condones this practice?
