I have met muslim med who say they are not 100% aure if the women was cut or not, die to the fact that some only cut the part of the inner lips that hang outside for example, and nothing else. Some women are born like that natural as well, so for them to see the difference..

The worst one is of course the one where they only leave a small whole. And I do believe that that one is not the one they use the
most..

kandiikane: Lol, majority of women in this forum have had their punny cut

kandiikane: Royal, did you have to?

kandiikane:

Ancient egyptians use to perform fgm.

JallowBah:

I do trust the african countries to have changed some of this in almost 10 years.
They say it comes from Egypt, yes, that that was were it started.

JallowBah: I knows that FGM takes place in many, many african countries.
The reason I put this under culture, not religion, is because it does not belong to a religion. It is, yes, mainly muslims who perform this now, but this has to do with culture, not religion.

What is peoples takes on this in Narialand? Is this going on in YOUR country? Has it been done to you? Would you do it on your child?
WHat if you husband/wifes family wish to do it on your daughter? And what if they DID, without your agreement?

As some know, my husband is from Gambia. FGM is still going on down there, but more awereness and teachings about how it can affect women, has made more and more turn away from it. It is not written in the quran, or the bible, to perform FGM.
If someone did this to my child..I would try to kill everyone involved. I would report them all to the police, both in Gambia, and in Norway. I would contact the embassy, I would do everything to destroy both the people who did it, and also the goverment for letting this continue.
I have already told the women in my husband family that if they perform this on any girls in our family, I will cut them off. They will never recieve any financial help from me or my husband again, and they will never see us again either. I just pray and hope that they turn away from it as well..if anyone lay a hand on my daughter..Off.

It is barbaric, and it need to stop.

The same people getting sympathetic for FGM on little girls are the same Ignorant people who co-signed the Torturous Political Prisons Of Homosexxxuals

I do not know why someone would utter it does not happen much in Nigeria

Barbaric Backwards Behavior can't be condemned one minute, then outwardly praised the Next.

~Royal~:
[font=times]Yup

I think this act is Barbaric, but these people need to learn how to progress on there on terms, it should not be forced by outside influences.

You can't "force" Progression.

MsDarkSkin: In some countries they clut the clit and then sew up the vagina loooooool!

*Looking.

kandiikane:



^did they cut your clit and sewed it up?


Royal, stop chatting bullshyt! 'These people'? What people? What you think only africans perform fgm?

I find the act barbaric but don't sit on your azz an act as if it's in african where you get women treated as inferior. That shyt happens everywhere£

Read my post and stop embarrassing yourself

~Royal~:
Sewing Up Vajina's ....This is disgusting

Much of this comes down to the lack of "Value" placed on a Woman in these regions

Ever since ancient times women have been perceived "Lower" and inferior than a Man.

These People refuse to Progress

..It is What it Is.

@MsDark, why you edit your "Here this niqqah go" line..lol

Kill that African Insecure complex pity party boolshid and read the post.

You do this nonsense in every thread

You can't understand me so you bring every discussion back to Race

If i post a gorilla...it's suddenly about "Race"...

No you fool...

It's about lack of intelligence.

"These Regions" clearly have words that allude to a Mentality

A Mentality is not location specific.

Kill that Noise Fam.
