Muslim animals have cutting parties in UK

Fans of multiculturalism should love this little bit of Muslim life that is now appearing in the UK: cutting parties for girls. Hope you have a strong stomach:

"Hundreds of British schoolgirls are facing the terrifying prospect of female genital mutilation (FGM) over the Christmas holidays as experts warn the practice continues to flourish across the country. Parents typically take their daughters back to their country of origin for FGM during school holidays, but The Independent on Sunday has been told that "cutters" are being flown to the UK to carry out the mutilation at "parties" involving up to 20 girls to save money....

FGM is classified into four types, of varying severity; type 3 is the most mutilating and involves total removal of the clitoris, labia and a narrowing of the whole vagina.

An estimated 70,000 women living in the UK have undergone FGM, and 20,000 girls remain at risk, according to Forward. The practice is common in 28 African countries, including Somalia, Sudan and Nigeria, as well as some Middle Eastern and Asian countries such as Malaysia and Yemen. It is generally considered to be an essential rite of passage to suppress sexual pleasure, preserve girls' purity and cleanliness, and is necessary for marriage in many communities even now. It has no religious significance.

The most common age for the procedure is between eight and 11 but it can be carried out just after birth or just before marriage. It carries the risk of death from bleeding or tetanus, and long-term problems include urinary incontinence, recurrent infections and chronic pain. Reversal procedures are necessary in order to avoid major problems for a woman and baby during childbirth......" Article

The story didn't mention any pro-choicers raising hell about women having control over their own bodies. Apparently Islam trumps Planned Parenthood in the liberal mind.

It is much easier to browbeat people to shop local (and pay double) than to worry about horrors like this Kingfish.

Kingfish said...

I consider such doctors the equivalent of Mengele.

The people who perform FGMs are usually old women from villages who have seen the procedure done before, not doctors, and it's never conducted under what we would call sanitary conditions, which increases the danger of the procedure.

This is not a Muslim practice, BTW, it's a third world practice. Look at Uganda, which is 86% Christian, where FGM is widely administered (they just officially banned it two weeks ago).

Oh good grief, KF. I've always thought you were pretty fair, but now I am reconsidering my opinion of your thought processes. How did you reach such a conclusion?

Inappropriate Attack #!: Feminists (pro choicers) have been raising hell about female mutilation since before you had even heard of it.

Inappropriate Attack #2: As pointed out by a previous commenter, this is not a Muslim practice.

Try getting your facts straight before attacking people.

Kingfish said...

Oh really?

Hmmm.... let see:

Middle East Quarterly Article

Keep in mind most Arab countries are closed societies that aren't exactly open to inspection

JAMA abstract

And the story was about the practice being imported into the UK in Muslim communities.

Kingfish said...

Although I will acknowledge there is a debate on the practice within the Muslim world and that a conference in Egypt deplored FGM.

However, I consider these people in England that do this animals. We aren't talking about someone living in a third world poverty stricken African village who is ignorant and illiterate.

Anonymous said...

Yeah, you should also probably acknowledge that Egypt has banned FGM, thanks largely to the efforts of Muslim women's heath advocates in that country. I guess the ones you don't write off as feminists you can write off as Muslims, and vice versa, but at least they're actually doing something about the problem.

Kingfish said...

They banned it once, then reversed, then banned again. The post was about the UK and unfortunately, you see a good bit of radical Islam in the UK.

AND doing a shit poor job of stopping the abhorrent practice. Don't look at the feminists Kingfish. They are convinced they've done enough.

Kingfish said...

There are and frankly, I was pretty mad when I wrote that last sentence and shot off at the mouth. I get angry every time I read that story. There have been feminists groups that have pushed for a stop to this barbaric practice but lets just say it hasn't gotten the favor of the left like the fight against apartheid did.

Anonymous said...

So what, exactly, are you doing about it?

Anonymous said...

I understand why one would get angry. I've been angry about it ever since I heard about the practice decades ago, when I was one of those useless young bitchy feminists. Most women in any rights movement know about this and hate, hate, hate it and do so loudly. So don't lay this one the girls, please. It doesn't even make sense why you would string it together like that.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
