"Sheelan Anwar Omer, a shy 7-year-old Kurdish girl, bounded into her neighbor's house with an ear-to-ear smile, looking for the party her mother had promised.
There was no celebration. Instead, a local woman quickly locked a rusty red door behind Sheelan, who looked bewildered when her mother ordered the girl to remove her underpants. Sheelan began to whimper, then tremble, while the women pushed apart her legs and a midwife raised a stainless-steel razor blade in the air. "I do this in the name of Allah!" she intoned.
As the midwife sliced off part of Sheelan's genitals, the girl let out a high-pitched wail heard throughout the neighborhood. As she carried the sobbing child back home, Sheelan's mother smiled with pride."

pure child abuse
This is NOT circumcision. I repeat: This is NOT circumcision. The correct term is genital mutilation. The Times should be ashamed of themselves.
Oops - I said Times - it’s the Wash Post!!! They should be ashamed.
I’ve read that Egyptians are into it. Also, not all Kurds are Muslim; I hope most aren’t.
This subject came up a few years ago, and there were then, as now, certain peculiar people who, for reasons probably best kept private, went out of their way to try to exonerate moslems from this cultural atrocity. Back then the moslem apologists tried to say it was "only the Africans" who did this. Guess the Kurds live in Africa now.
Go figure.
Why to English speakers fail badsy with this hard-o lingo that mess up they texty yo?
Their men must be dumdums. The more the woman enjoys it, the better for the husband. Unreal. I’ve read far too much on this subject and it just gets me all riled up each and every time. A beautiful gift given by God is destroyed by these pathetic worshippers of nothing more than a moon god.
The only thing I can think of is so women don’t want to have sex. But still reproduce when (if) the male wants to have sex. Pure male control.
That is after moohamid gets tired of his goats and camels.
Barbarians.
Hey, FRiend-- just a guess? I can't account for the sticks, but I believe that pine-cone looking horror is used to force the vagina open for "trimming."
I really don't know enough foul words to accurately describe what I feel about this savagery.
Argh. This article is sickening. I don't how many women are like that mother who would let her daughter be painfully mutilated, but if that woman represents the civilian population, they aren't that innocent. Sorry. I'm angry.
No, the correct term for the surgical procedure being practiced on these female children is clitorectomy. Let's not mince words here with such vague terms as female genital mutilation and circumcision. For crying out loud, the clitoris is being cut from these little girl's bodies.
The men don’t care. As a matter of fact, Muslim men prefer dry sex.
......just in, Gloria Steinham, Nancy Pelosi and the NOW are issuing a statement denouncing the practice of female circumcision......(crickets)
***Barbaric people! To do this to a little girl is terrible.***
Now, now. We must not judge other cultures. After all, their cultural traditions are just as good as ours. One Week of remedial DIVERSITY TRAINING for you!
Bad Boy! go stand in the corner of a round room!
Ok, Sarc/off
Don't you mean bad girl lol? I don't care what these barbaric people believe in. A mother who would do this to her daughter is a monster. It is being done right in this country too. The girls can have health problems for life or even die .
Why does Islam hate and fear women’s sexual pleasure?
Did Mohamed have a little pecker? That would explain volumes.
What does the Human Rights Campaign have to say about this barbarism?
“Also, not all Kurds are Muslim; I hope most arent.”
Correct. There are also many Christian Kurds.
Regardless. This is a barbaric practice.
