This is routinely denied in establishment media treatments of female genital mutilation, but actually FGM is mandated in Islamic law: Circumcision is obligatory (for every male and female) (by cutting off the piece of skin on the glans of the penis of the male, but circumcision of the female is by cutting out the bazr clitoris [this is called khufaadh female circumcision]). Umdat al-Salik e4.3, translated by Mark Durie, The Third Choice, p. 64
Why is it obligatory? Because Muhammad is held to have said so: Abu al- Malih ibn Usamas father relates that the Prophet said: Circumcision is a law for men and a preservation of honour for women. Ahmad Ibn Hanbal 5:75
Narrated Umm Atiyyah al-Ansariyyah: A woman used to perform circumcision in Medina. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said to her: Do not cut severely as that is better for a woman and more desirable for a husband. Abu Dawud 41:5251
That hadith is classified as weak, but this one is classified as sahih (reliable): Aishah narrated: When the circumcised meets the circumcised, then indeed Ghusl is required. Myself and Allahs Messenger did that, so we performed Ghusl. Jami` at-Tirmidhi 108
If Muhammad had the genitals of his favorite wife, Aisha, mutilated, that is a strong endorsement of the practice from the man who is an excellent example (Quran 33:21) for Muslims.
FGM essential part of Islam, cant be subjected to judicial scrutiny, SC told, by J Venkatesan, The Asian Age, July 31, 2018 (thanks to the Geller Report):
New Delhi: Senior counsel Abhishek Manu Singhvi, who appeared for Dawoodi Bohra community, justified in the Supreme Court on Tuesday the female genital mutilation (FGM) and called it an integral aspect of religious practice.
Making this submission before a three-judge bench comprising Chief Justice Dipak Misra and justices A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud hearing petitions from advocate Sunita Tihar and others challenging the practice of FGM, Dr Singhvi contended that it has the sanction of religious texts.
He said, It is an essential aspect of Islam and cannot be subjected to judicial scrutiny. Quoting from religious texts, he demonstrated that this practice has been followed for centuries.
FGM or khatna is a practice prevalent among the Dawoodi Bohra religious community of Shia sect though it is a crime and punishable offence. This practice is an age-old tradition in this community to mark the arrival of womanhood. The court had already orally expressed its disapproval to this practice.
The Centre had supported the petitioners stating that the FGM is a crime with a punishment of seven years of imprisonment under the existing laws and that the court can further clarify on the matter and issue guidelines. It also pointed out that the United Nations has deprecated this practice and FGM has been banned in the US, UK, Australia, Canada and 27 African countries and it should not be allowed to continue.
The petitioners have described the practice as inhuman and violative of girls rights under the Constitutions Article 14 (Right to Equality) and Article 21 (Right to Life). They sought a direction to declare it illegal and unconstitutional, non-compoundable and a non-bailable offence .
Makes sense.
Murdering the unborn is an essential part of progressivism.
The Prophet or The Crackpot
Feminists and the DEMs making a statement condemning this practice any day now.
Exactly.. ISLAM is EVIL.
They totally misinterpret it. Muslim men should be castrated.
Well, most DEM white males are effectively neutered, and in some cases, literally castrated.
And head chopping and burning people alive and bombing civilians and ...
acid tossing, driving vehicles into crowds...........anyone still think this is a religion? Barbarians need to be beat down and jailed and executed.
“...Feminists and the DEMs making a statement condemning this practice any day now....”
Either that...or feminists and RAT skanks should belly up to the bar and voluntarily subject themselves to having their clits cut of.....as an honorable example to the world.
... airplane hi-jacking, car bombs, IEDs, sex with goats and sheep, ...
All the marks of higher consciousness. High on khat that is.
So is murdering Jews.
And anyone else who doesn't accept the primacy of the Moon god.
Lawyer? Dems will make him a judge.
Meanwhile reading the Bible to your children is looked upon as abhorrent.
And the ROP gets away with anything and everything with the MSMLSD bunch rolling over for them along with the liberal anti-Christian/Jewish lunatics.
There are innumerable atrocities that are essential parts of Islam.
Mad Mo made it so.
If female genital mutilation is an ‘Important Cultural Treasure’® of Islam, then I could make similar claims that foot-binding is likewise an important cultural treasure of China, and Thuggee cults and Sati in India are far too culturally important to ever be suppressed.
Agree 100%
That jackass married a 7 year old when he was 45
