Meet Dr. Jumana Nagarwala of Livonia, Michigan who was arrested on Wednesday and charged by the DOJ of performing female genital mutilation on girls who were approximately 6 to 8 years old.
From the Detroit News:
Seven days later, an FBI child forensic interviewer talked to one of the girls, who said she was brought to Detroit with a second girl for a special girls trip, according to the FBI.
After arriving in Farmington Hills, the girls were taken to a doctor because their tummies hurt.
While at the doctors office, a procedure to get the germs out, was performed on the first girl, according to the criminal complaint. The girl was shown a photo of Nagarwala and said she was the doctor who performed the procedure, according to the FBI.
The girl told the FBI that Nagarwala pinched her on the place (where) she goes pee, the government alleges.
(The girl) said that she was told not to talk about the procedure, FBI Special Agent Kevin Swanson wrote in the complaint.
A subsequent medical examination showed that the girls genitals did not appear normal and a section had been altered or removed, according to the court filing.
Why not arrest the parents?

The DOJ announced that, [t]his is believed to be the first case brought under 18 U.S.C. 116, which criminalizes FGM.
How about we mutilate their genitalia and call it even?
Type I: Type I is the excision (removal) of the clitoral hood with or without removal of all or part of the clitoris.
Type II: Type II is the excision (removal) of the clitoris together with part or all of the labia minora (the inner vaginal lips).
Type III: Type III is the excision (removal) of part or all of the external genitalia (clitoris, labia minora and labia majora) and stitching or narrowing of the vaginal opening, leaving a very small opening, about the size of a matchstick, to allow for the flow of urine and menstrual blood. The girl or woman's legs are then bound together from the hip to the ankle so she remains immobile for approximately 40 days to allow for the formation of scar tissue.
Type IV: Type IV includes the pricking, piercing or incision of the clitoris and/or labia. In Ethiopia the "Mariam Girz" involves blood letting with a sharp needle performed on girls with a stunted clitoris who are assumed to have been already circumcised by St. Mary.
Yes, I do know what FGM is. What was done to these young girls is not something I approve of at all, but neither is it anywhere the worst of what is described above. If it was the horrendous mutilation that most of the posters on the thread are imagining - about as accurately as they imagine the sex of the perpetrator - then the FBI report would not have described it as follows:
From the Detroit News article:
The FBI investigation alleges Nagarwala removed clitoral skin from two girls who were brought to Detroit earlier this year, activity that violates both federal and state law regarding female genital mutilation.
Finally, the doctor observed some scar tissue and small healing lacerations, the agent wrote. (the first girl)
"A subsequent medical exam showed the girls genitalia had a small incision and a small tear." (the second girl)
No missing clitoris or labia. No vagina sewn together.
From the FBI report itself, available here: http://www.wxyz.com/news/detroit-emergency-room-doctor-charged-with-child-genital-mutilation
Victim 2’s “clitoral hood has a small incision, and there is a small tear to her labia minora.”
Victim 1’s “labia minora has been altered or removed, and her clitoral hood is also abnormal in appearance. Finally, the doctor observed some scar tissue and some small healing lacerations.”
Both of the girls are from Minnesota. We can guess Somali. In Somalia, nearly all the girls have undergone FGM, and most have undergone the worst kind. I can imagine an anti-FGM activist in Minnesota, knowing she can’t eradicate the practice, but seeking to mitigate it, sending the families who don’t want the whole awful thing done down to Detroit, where a nice lady doctor will make a symbolic incision or two in antiseptic conditions with a little local anesthesia, and the families can go back to Minnesota and assure the community, that, yes, it’s been done.
The government has a zero-tolerance policy but those on the front lines may resort to compromise. And maybe the government is right, because the compromisers on the front lines dealing with the hard cases gave us abortion on demand 45 years ago.

Umm.. guys, how about RTFA?

This sort of behavior is not who we are. It is not who we ever want to be. Get them the F out of here. Stack the Court and make some big boy decisions, soon. We are slowly dying. Or just ask We the People how we feel about this.
Reading the story helps...'he' is a 'she'...no balls.
It's like "assisted" suicide.
All that business just corrupts the medical and legal professions, plus, probably, your own nearest and dearest, who feel like they've got to "affirm" you in your own stupid, self-deforming behavior.
T'hell with "assisted."
You want to be maimed, mutilated, decommissioned or dead, do it your own d--- self.
(Not directed at you, of course, Vermont, but to man-un-kind in general.)
Here comes the diversity! Prepare to be culturally enriched!
PING!
The entire point of the procedure is to impair fuctioning of healthy tissue. I don’t care if it’s done in a posh surgical suit by a high price surgeon. The purpose is to impair functioning for a barbarous reason. That’s mutilation in my book.
It's a joke that you obviously didn't get. Not sarcasm.
If there were such a place I don't think it would be in Asia or Africa. It would be much closer to home like maybe Hamtramck. More likely Dearborn or Livonia, they seem to be congregating on the west side.
As for not answering your query earlier, I'm dreadfully sorry (that's sarcasm, I'm not sorry at all). I didn't spend much time on FR yesterday afternoon. This story kind of upset me and I was sharing it with a close family member who works at HFH. I was also a little down about the Tigers getting blown out, although Jimenez looked good in his ML debut.
As for being an ahole, perhaps. But I would rather go through life as an ahole than really, really dumb.
Ok, working hard on this just for you (that was more sarcasm). It seems the mythical country of Nargawalastan is located further west and north than I thought. In or around Northville, Michigan, USA.
People have to stop pretending that Islam is anything but a sexist bloodthirsty cult acting as a political movement. The FAKE NEWS and transference of blame strategy that they employ is top notch Democrat driven propaganda that many easily swallow.
Due to the bias of omission, far too many American’s don’t know that this exists and that women willingly submit (literal translation of Islam) themselves to physical violence and abuse as their form of “feminism”. The liberal voting base will be the first to die at the hands of the jihadi’s and are being led like sheep to the slaughter.
Crazy world but ya know, United Airlines is bad, Trump is worse, and White Men as a collective are the absolute worst thing in the world.
Uh looks trany at best... have to see to..
This is a case of I do not want to know.
