Vast majority of muslims are AGAINST FGM. The ones who practice it are mostly African and it is more a cultural than religious thing.

All the ones who do practice it in say England are from Somali or other African countries.

I do know some muslims and they look upon it (and african muslims) as savages.

IIRC, over 90% of Egyptian females subjected to FGM -- but then, Egypt is in Africa. (And Islam is the dominant religion by far.)

It may be a cultural thing, but Islam swept away a lot of cultural things wherever it took hold; why not this thing?

That's a rhetorical question.

“Vast majority of muslims are AGAINST FGM. The ones who practice it are mostly African and it is more a cultural than religious thing.”

Do consider a quick Google search before posting such egregious Muslim talking points.

In Egypt, somewhere between 80 and 90 percent of the Muslim women have been held down and mutilated.

PS A Muslim calling anyone a ‘savage” is the worst case of pot badmouthing kettle one can imagine.
