Actually, the female circumcision thing is from North Africa and is not strictly a Muslim tradition. It was adapted as a means to encourage previously animist Africans into the Muslim faith...I'm starting to unravel this mystery...hopefully.

True but neither practice shows much respect towards women.

The Islamists are doing the genital mutilation thing. I suspect the revisionists are trying to claim it is not Muslim. They should cease this abomination.
