This is just false. Female circumcision is not a muslim tradition.

It's evil for them to still do this today. That was my point. There is a lot of info. on the net about this. The goal is the subjugation of their women. Here is just one little snippet.

"In July, 1997 the Egyptian government overturned a ban on the practice of FGM. This event was celebrated by some Muslim figures, particularly Sheikh Youssef al-Badri, an outspoken proponent of the circumcision of Muslim women. Later the ban was reinstated, an act celebrated now by feminists and under assault by a few Muslim activists, again, led by Sheikh al-Badri."

I agree. It is evil, and most of their groups do oppress women.

However the article is unclear whether the reporter was male or female. If the Chechens practice this horrid ritual on females, then a female reporter makes sense. But if not, then a male reporter makes sense. Either way, a male reporter makes sense.
