They remove the clitoris, usually without anesthesia, in an attempt to prevent female orgasms. This is thought to prevent women from lusting after men. This is NOT the equivalent of circumcision- for those of you who were under that impression.

That's only the most extreme form. Most of the time, FGM is less severe than MGM.

FGM:MGM

Equivalent as equivalent can be.

And so are millions of infant males in the United States. Studies have been conducted on circumcision to the point where things got so bad in the study, researchers had to shut it down.

Babies were strapped to a wooden board and put under an fMRI while circumcised without anesthesia (the common practice here in the USA), and in two infants, the pain and trauma induced by the event was so bad they had seizures while in the fMRI.

Circumcision caused the Amygdale to flair up for up to two weeks, and afterwards, permanent damage to the amygdale was noted in all patients. Due to this change in brain chemistry (this is one of, if not the infant’s first life experience while it’s CNS is rapidly developing), long term effects included, MDD, depression, increased suicide rates and aggressive tendencies in circumcised populations; the suicide rate is unparalleled with non-circumcised communities, and it is caused by very real damage done to the brain from the trauma.

The ADL even tried to get one of these studies shut down and hidden due it being “anti-Semitic” just for researching circumcision and discovering it’s terrible long term and short term effects.

Let’s worry about our own country and children first.

Your own country has plenty of cases of FGM too.

Why aren't you worried about that?

The Third World shouldn't be in America to begin with.

And MGM is literally a million times more common.

Who said I wasn’t? Male circumcision is a much more common and wide spread problem, happening to hundreds of millions of babies each year in our country compared to FGM and is seen as “normal”, compared to FGM when it isn’t and causes permanent brain damage that has devastating long-term effects for those who have received the procedure according to research.

Yet that research is suppressed and hidden as best as possible and we go on with this to this day like it’s a normal thing to do.

It's weird when people have these bizarre hobby horses they want to ride. We're talking about FGM in Africa, let's stay on topic. Make your own threads.

    Do you have anything to contribute regarding the topic of this post? Or is this just whataboutism?

      But Allah clearly does will it if every women is born with a clitoris.

      These Imans are really self-owning hard.

      "Sorry dear, if I was meant to last for more than 3 seconds Allah would have willed it."

        My god.

        Being triggered because little girls getting their genitals mutilated isn't all about you.

        That's pretty damn weak.

        Islam has nothing to do with FGM.

        I've heard of other religions that suck the blood from fresh circumcisions.

        Seems crazy, but do a quick internet search and there's plenty of evidence that this is common in the west.

        I once saw a highly upvoted conversation on reddit where a bunch of their know it alls were agreeing with each other that fgm came from ancient Egypt and was therefore cultural and therefore couldn't be blamed on Islam. You could even call it ancient wisdom which the evil west should not question.

        The trouble is we literally have thousands of preserved vulvas from one culture and that is ancient Egypt. Not one female Egyptian mummy has any sign of fgm.

        The future of Europe and the US when these people are majority.
