Well you shoudn't be surprised that people take their culture and traditions with them. It would be different if they were local British.

There's nothing wrong with bringing your culture with you, as long it's not illegal, like in this case.

I never said it was wrong in fact I think its wrong if you don't as long as its legal. I'm just saying this is what you should expect because people bring their cultures with them.
 
I'll take it seriously when it's reported by a media source that is more reliable than the BNP propganda sheet known as The Daily Mail.
 
By conservative estimates, 66,000 women and girls living in Britain have been "circumcised" in most barbaric and brutal way. It is called "Female genital mutilation" (FGM).

How could this sickening practice be stoped? Some poor girl is being cut as we speak!:eek:

By random police inspection of suspect homes and girls,
interrogation of parents and carers, deportation of
those who refuse to cooperate and identify mutilaters
for trial, and public execution of convicted mutilaters.

Rofl. Yeah, I really see this happening. "Open up! We are the law and we want to see your females privates!" :lol:

And in other news....police recruitment increases 20% overnight! :lol:

So you think it's bull?
 
It happens, they merely choose an inflammatory guestimate of the numbers.

Like ETK says, I'm sure it does happen, and I'm sure it's happening in many places outside the UK, but this paper has a well known agenda and will portray this story in the most damning way it can to give a very distored picture.

If there is any real accuracy to this story, it's far too sensational for other media outlets to not have picked up on it.

As they say, consider the source.
 
I take a mixture of hard copy UK national broadsheets and the Guardian
(beloved by Comrade Amadeus) has features on this too from time to
time so it is not all rightist lies. Many of the baby girls wounds go septic,
sometimes they are admitted to hospitals. The parents claim that it
was a relative when baby in Africa, sometimes this is true, sometimes a lie.
 
Another reminder of the evils that can come from religion.

More details on the 66,000 figure are at http://www.guardian.co.uk/crime/article/0,,2123435,00.html . sysyphus is being reasonable to question the source - what the Daily Mail says may or may not be true, but it's not something that can be trusted (and more generally, I do find it curious that The Daily Mail often gets linked to as a source on the Internet, but no one ever links to the other tabloids like The Sun or The Daily Express).
 
I know almost nothing on the subject- why is female circumcision worse than male circumcision? Health problems, does it make them infertile...?
 
WTH is female circumcision?:confused:

I never saw something down there to cut..

They cut of the clitoris so that they don't enjoy sex and thus have no reason to have it without their husband.

In extreme cases they sow the vagina up and the husband snips it open when he wants sex. After he sows it back up again. Mostly practiced in Africa by non Bantu people.
 
I think we should ban genital mutilation on everybody until they've reached adulthood.

The first amendment doesn't take away your son's right to safety because your religion saying that you can cut his foreskin off without his consent. Parents do generally hold the power of consent over their children, but they can't consent to others harming their child.

Female genital mutilation is much worse and less religiously motivated than male mutilation, and I don't have a solution for it right now since it's done behind closed doors. I don't think legalizing cutting other people's clits and off would help either, since the goal is to end the practice, not reduce harm caused by it.
