No, it's not just a matter of 'not being PC.' Saying it's a desirable thing for more mothers and babies to die in childbirth is morally repugnant, especially for someone who claims to be civilized (as opposed to "living in the stone age".)
And you would have no idea whether those mothers and babies "would kill you if they had the chance." The whole idea of imputing malice to babies (and their mothers in the act of childbirth) is irrational as well as disgusting.
Do keep in mind, fellow American, that our ALLIES in Afghanistan and Iraq, people who risk their lives fighting side by side with our own troops, are Muslims as well.
Where's Malthus when you need him?
I don't know about African tribes doing it, but I have read in the past that it has been fairly common among at least the more rural Muslims, including Palestinians. I did wonder if other Africans practiced it, whether it came to them through Islam, or whether Islam just took over what went previously. In any case, it is another example of the barbarism of the ROP.
Um...OW OW OW!!
"I lived in France 20 years ago, and the arabs would pay to fly in people from Algeria to do this to their little daughters, since no french doctor would do it for them."
Barbaric.
The expression of deadly animus against Muslim mothers and babies: that's what's morally filthy.
It's gallows humor, lady.
Go buy yourself a sense of humor, and a leash for that nasty attitude.
Now take that wagging finger and put it where it will do you some good.
A merry madcap lad you are.
Oh. Rush Limbaugh. Mea culpa. (Trembling with awe.)
I have never seen a culture so preverted, corrupt, barbaric, and sadistic. It seems that they don't want anybody but the men to enjoy anything at all. They seem to get such pleasure in hurting people; from this mutilation of their women to the cutting of the little boys on there heads with knives during *religious* rituals. If there's ever a question of whether Satan exists, I think this should settle it.
