Russian mufti calls for genital mutilation of all women

A Senior Muslim cleric in Russia has prompted controversy by urging universal female genital mutilation after a rights group released a report on the practice in the countrys North Caucasus region.
Mufti Ismail Berdiyev, who heads a Muslim association for the North Caucasus region, said Wednesday that if FGM could be applied to all women, that would be very good in an interview with Interfax news agency.
The practice, which ranges from pricking of the clitoris to its complete removal, causes infections and loss of sensation. The procedure has come under massive international scrutiny in recent years, with UN chief Ban Ki-Moon in 2014 launching a global campaign to end it.
Berdiyev, who was decorated by President Vladimir Putin in March, said FGM does not stop women from fulfilling their ordained role of motherhood and if all women were mutilated, there would be less fornication.

(16,423 posts)They play up the themes of nationalism that Putin wants and he talks about how important the church is for russian culture. They are intertwined.
The russian nationalism sees Russia as the only country that is still pure and good and honorable. All other countries are sinful wretches.

THIS is FGM:
Procedures
Female genital mutilation is classified into 4 major types.
Type 1: Often referred to as clitoridectomy, this is the partial or total removal of the clitoris (a small, sensitive and erectile part of the female genitals), and in very rare cases, only the prepuce (the fold of skin surrounding the clitoris).
Type 2: Often referred to as excision, this is the partial or total removal of the clitoris and the labia minora (the inner folds of the vulva), with or without excision of the labia majora (the outer folds of skin of the vulva ).
Type 3: Often referred to as infibulation, this is the narrowing of the vaginal opening through the creation of a covering seal. The seal is formed by cutting and repositioning the labia minora, or labia majora, sometimes through stitching, with or without removal of the clitoris (clitoridectomy).
Type 4: This includes all other harmful procedures to the female genitalia for non-medical purposes, e.g. pricking, piercing, incising, scraping and cauterizing the genital area.
Deinfibulation refers to the practice of cutting open the sealed vaginal opening in a woman who has been infibulated, which is often necessary for improving health and well-being as well as to allow intercourse or to facilitate childbirth.
I would post the pics here, but some might be looking at them in public:

(455 posts)and shame on raw story for downplaying how horrible FGM is.

* The procedure can result in death through severe bleeding leading to haemorrhagic shock, neurogenic shock as a result of pain and trauma, and overwhelming infection and septicaemia
*Women may experience chronic pain, chronic pelvic infections, development of cysts, abscesses and genital ulcers, excessive scar tissue formation, infection of the reproductive system, decreased sexual enjoyment and psychological consequences, such as post-traumatic stress disorder.
*A multi-country study by WHO in six African countries, showed that women who had undergone FGM, had significantly increased risks for adverse events during childbirth, and that genital mutilation in mothers has negative effects on their newborn babies. According to the study, an additional one to two babies per 100 deliveries die as a result of FGM.

(455 posts)saw your post as soon as my own went up. The more people who speak up, the better.
There are some genuinely sick people in the world peddling genuinely sick ideas. By downplaying the suffering of millions of women and the horrific reality of the practice, this article is helping perpetuate those sick ideas.
*sigh* Time to go find a puppy/kitten thread.

(90,645 posts)I utterly oppose all forms of this hideous practice, and I appreciate the graphic VERBAL reminders of what it is. I've done a fair bit of that myself. But LINKS are sufficient in case anyone wants to actually see it.
Any moment now someone is going to show up peddling the false equivalency between FGM and male circumcision. Nothing will ever convince them, not even photographs, but they will hijack this and every other thread they can. They need a verbal slap-down, though.
I appreciate that you are fighting the good fight against misogyny and ignorance, but pics would be beyond the bounds of even a warning in the OP subject line, imo.

(748 posts)There *are* Christians doing it, in Africa, who seem to think it's a religious obligation.
But Muslims have exported it way, way more than Christians did.
