Well, there you go. Now we are in full reverse course for women’s rights. It’s OK to mutilate and molest girls as long as they are Muslim. What’s next, rape and mercy killings? Is stoning also OK because... Muslims?

Is it now OK for white, Christian men to mutilate the genitalia of Muslim girls?

Good job, Democrats. Way to be culturally sensitive.

Murdering in cold blood unborn and newly born babies is Constitutional, so why not genital mutilation.

May God have mercy on us.

But you can go to prison if a teenager comes to you and begs you to help them be “normal”, and you give them profesionally counselling against being gay or transgender.

Apparently the judge ruled that mutilating the genitals of little girls doesn’t affect commerce so congress did not have the authority to outlaw the practice.

Amazing.

It is now legal for muzzie doctors to mutilate young girls.

This is child molestation. Would the judge allow all male children of a sect be castrated?

"The case in Michigan prompted state officials to pass a state law officially banning FGM. The law carries a penalty of 15 years in prison for assisting or performing the procedure, but applies only to future instances. Nagarwala and other members of the sect were charged under an old federal law passed by Congress."

Not sure about that....I don't get this part of it and I should because I live here.

It’s just totally sickening what that judge did let alone those mutilators posing as doctors.

Or anything else for that matter. If one can murder the most innocent of society, then anything will eventually go. Mutiliation of the young girls physical bodies is ok but young girls having constitutional rights or God given rights, not so much. A classic example where their own bodies are not “theirs” to turn it back on the feminist of today, or even society looking out for the most vulnerable of society no longer comes into play as those who represent an anti life movement have the final say.

This is God’s chastisement of this country, he is giving us exactly what we wanted for all these decades. Nor will it turn out well for those pushing this or ignoring it, God will not let it.

“U.S. District Judge Bernard Friedman ruled that Congress had no authority to enact a law that criminalizes female genital mutilation”

What part of the Constitution forbids Congress from passing a genital mutilation law?

there is more here about it all

I had no idea such a mosque existed in Farmington Hills, very sad.

Time for all states to make it against the law as Michigan did right after this arrest. Hopefully this will happen ( from the link ) - "Nagarwala is still facing a 30-year conspiracy charge and an obstruction count that could send her and the Attars to prison for 20 years."

“...What part of the Constitution forbids Congress from...”

A better way to look at it would be to ask:
“What part of the Constitution allows Congress to...”
