What does the Red Bishop Tutu have to say about this?

How much better this nation was under the minority government.

[Patriot Babe]

Wow looks like Obamacare hit South Africa first.

[Olog-hai]

He’s too busy trying to encourage rejection of the true God and worship of a non-homophobic false god.

This practice goes back centuries. Not started by ANC.

[IbJensen]

Tutu may be a wanker.

[Olog-hai]

The practice of botched circumcision, specifically?

[Sherman Logan]

I don’t think the botching is intended, it’s a consequence of medical procedures carried out by people who aren’t trained to do medical stuff properly.

I doubt procedures were any less often botched in 1813 than today.

A lot smaller population then, though.

Never let a guy on drugs chop off part of your penis with a machete.

IINM, this “initiation ritual” was also in one of the first few episodes of the 1977 TV mini-series, “Roots’.

What does the Red Bishop Tutu have to say about this?
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Well, old Des is kinda busy just now greasing the skids for his rapid descent into the netherworld.

Even now Screwtape is hollerin’, “There’s meat on the menu boys!”

Archbishop Desmond Tutu would rather go to hell than to a homophobic heaven. The iconic South African churchman hasn’t lost any of the fire in his belly when it comes to freedom fighting, despite his retirement, and is still a vocal campaigner for gay equality in Africa. Speaking at the launch of a United Nations’ gay rights campaign in Cape Town, Tutu said he “would not worship a God who is homophobic,” adding that you could count him out of paradise if it had an anti-gay bias. “I would much rather go to the other place,” he said. He went on to denounce any faith that discriminated against gay people.

I remember that. Alex Haley the liar/propagandist “re-imagined” it as a Muslim circumcision ceremony.

[Standing Wolf]

These folks lend fresh new meaning to the oft-heard “Ooops! Hey, sorry ‘bout that, dude!” mantra.

[Sooth2222]

The worst of the injuries occurred after botched circumcisions performed by inexperienced traditional nurses, who use the same spear on multiple initiates without protecting against the spread of infections, then cover up wounds with tightly wrapped bandaging that cuts off blood supply to the area. After about 10 hours the genitals can become gangrenous and in some cases permanently damaged, but many initiates do not seek hospital treatment for another five to 10 days, Rijken said.

"Never let a guy on drugs chop off part of your penis with a machete."

A machete might be an improvement over what their version of Obamacare nurses are doing.

and these pervs are now in charge of SA just saying

[GeronL]

Maybe the initiation thing is the real problem, doc?

[M Kehoe]

Good afternoon.

Archbishop Desmond Tutu would rather go to hell than to a homophobic heaven.

Apparently Archbishop Tutu doesn't read his Bible. Heaven isn't about homosexuals, or marriage, or wealth, earthly type stuff. You would think an Archbishop would know that.

Add to that, outright plagiarist:

And liar/propagandist, is spot-on:
