Female genital mutilation is prevalent all through the Near East, Middle East and Far East. Various immigrants have brought it to the United States and Canada.
While it may not be condoned in the Hindu communities,it is also not officially condoned in moslem communities.
It's not about what is OFFICIALLY condoned - it's about what happens in reality.
Bride burnings are against the law - not officially condoned - but they happen.
Abandoning female infants is not officially condoned, but it happens.
Aborting female infants is actually against Indian law - but it surely happens.
While Indian women might not wear burquas - purdah nd multiple marriage is certainly part of India's history.
Calling me names won't change the reality.
Pressuring widows to die upon the funeral pyre of her husband was also an Indian custom that was finally outlawed - but only by the pressure of the British Raj.
Until you are willing to understand and acknowledge what is happening - it will never change.
You can feel free to assail me as much as you want - but calling me names won't change the reality.
The facts are the facts - entire societies have enslaved, murdered and mutilated females for centuries.
Baloney. Saying it is so doesn't make it so. UNICEF monitors and keeps statistics on these things. From their own studies it shows that FMG/C (female genital mutilation and cutting) is primarily practiced in African countries a few Middle Eastern countries and some Southest Asian countries. It is not shown as prevalent in the far east or near east.
FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION/CUTTINGA STATISTICAL EXPLORATION
Female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) is a traditional practice with severe health consequences for girls and women. It occurs mainly in countries along a belt stretching from Senegal in West Africa to Somalia in East Africa and to Yemen in the Middle East, but it is also practised in some parts of South-East Asia. Reports from Europe, North America and Australia indicate that it is practised among immigrant communities as well.
In addition it is not confined to Muslim communities as some others have claimed.
ReligionWhile religion can help explain FGM/C distribution in many countries, the relationship is not consistent. In six of the countries where data on religion are available – Benin, Côte d’Ivoire, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya and Senegal – Muslim population groups are more likely to practise FGM/C than Christian groups (see Figure 10, page 11). In fi ve countries there seems to be no signifi cant differences, while in Niger, Nigeria and the United Republic of Tanzania the prevalence is greater among Christian groups.
You are definitely blowing smoke about something you know nothing about and were apparently too lazy to spend five minutes researching.
