Two prominent religious leaders in Russia have provoked outrage after suggesting female genital mutilation could help reduce sexual promiscuity.
The scandal erupted on Wednesday when Vsevolod Chaplin, a former spokesman for the Russian Orthodox Church, rushed to the defence of Ismail Berdiyev, a senior Muslim cleric from Dagestan who said “all women” should be subjected to the practice to eliminate sexual depravity.
Mr Berdiyev, chairman of the Coordination Centre of North Caucasus Muslims, made the controversial comments when asked to comment on a report into the practice published earlier this week.
“All women should be circumcised so there would be no debauchery on earth, so that sexuality is minimized,” Mr Berdiyev, a prominent figure in Dagestan, told a correspondent from Interfax, a Russian news agency.
“The Almighty created woman to bear and raise children,” he added. “[Circumcision] would not affect that. Women would not stop giving birth. But there would be less promiscuity.”
He went on to clarify that although Islam does not prescribe the practice, “it is necessary to reduce female sexuality. If it was done to all women, it would be very good.”
Research by the Russian Justice Initiative, an NGO, found that in areas where the practice continues female genital mutilation tends to be carried out on girls up to three years old, without anaesthetic and often in unsanitary conditions.
The researchers said most cases they came across involved removal, or part-removal, of the clitoris and labia.
Archpriest Chaplin, one of the most prominent Orthodox priests in Russia, rushed to the mufti’s defence after outraged headlines splashed across Russian media and social networks.
“What feminist howling!” he wrote in a Facebook post defending the right of minorities to preserve religious traditions.
“Circumcising all women probably isn’t necessary. Orthodox women don’t need it because they are not promiscuous,”

The Christian cleric, Vsevolod Chaplin, ought to know better. His remarks in his own defense were appalling. Why must female sexuality be reduced and not male? Female genital mutilation is a means of controlling women, dehumanizing them and reducing them to the level of mere drones. Hardly Christian values, one would think.
“Of course God created women to bear and raise children. Feminism is a lie of the 20th century,” he added.
Mr Berdiyev himself later said he had been misquoted…
Yet no notarized people are connecting islam with the democrat party like they should be doing.
islam, blm and other democrat favorites need dots connected.
If feminists were sincere about anything at all they’d be out hunting these guys down.

Can you imagine if white Christian men said such an abhorrent thing? The feminists would be hunting them down and probably trying to get them thrown in prison for having this opinion.
that is a fact.
No wonder these women look so dour.
Raise your hand if you are glad your wife was not mutilated.
And would not stop depravity.
They need to rein in the men.
Yet they'll pull the lever for the party who's in bed with the muslim brotherhood that wants to cut off their genitalia.

It is not part of the Koran, right? ....just a law?

“In a related story, several dozen men between the ages of 16 and 60 beat the snot out of two prominent religious leaders in Russia.” Ha! Excellent...

He may be hunted down by Russian women, therefore, no prison time will be involved..
He is the one that needs to be circumcised, starting at his head and working the way down to his feet. Another wacko Muzzie has surfaced.

It's both. What Sharia does is codify tribal practices that existed in the middle-east for thousands of years. If you want to live like ancient tribesmen, Islam is for you.
I would then think an equal number of castrations would also inhibit sexual promiscuity. The Muslim men seem to have the aggressive sexual problem.
