Reply #82: quite frankly, I lwork in the health care field and this is a subject that does come up [View All]

I have discussed it with OB/GYN nurses, midwives and others. It is widely practiced in East Africa and have heard that from several nurses and midwives. The fact that there is no evidence that it is widespread throughout most of the Islamic world, hardly proves that it is the case.

I talk with Muslim women of every conceivable background every day, all the time - admittedly not about this subject - still, your assumptions about the Islamic world are greatly skewed.

People would find it more credible to believe someone was genuinely concerned about women in the Muslim world if they didn't jump on every opportunity to attack and dehumanize Muslims - 50% who are women. The leading advocates who are trying to put an end to this practice are overwhelming Muslim women themselves.
