Female Genital Mutilation Rampant in Britain - Free Reconstructive Surgery Offered

The UK taxpayers will now be paying thousands of pounds to provide free surgery for women who have been the victims of female genital mutilation. Advertisements will be placed so that women who have suffered through this abomination to their sexuality can hear of and take advantage of the program.

So why has female castration, which has been illegal in Britain since 1985, now being inflicted upon women and young girls in epidemic proportions?   The answer, though deceptively left out of the below/last article, is clear = the huge increase in muslim immigrants into Great Britain and the subsequent high birth rate their immigration brings.

"Female genital mutilation is forced on girls as young as three. And it is happening more and more often.Today, the South London Press can lay bare the shocking truth of its extent here within our West African communities.Five hundred girls a year are treated for mental and physical complications at the UK's only specialist clinic at Guy's Hospital in London Bridge.A further two to three operations are carried out every week to correct mutilations which have taken place without surgical instruments, anaesthetic or medical care.But experts believe these figures are just the tip of the iceberg because a significant number of victims will never seek medical help."LINK

"Islam is the predominant historical religion of the West African interior and the far west coast of the continent" LINK

For an explanation of types of female genital mutilation - FGM - go to HERE - but realize that the article is graphic. 

But the other glaring question is - whilst female genital mutilation is illegal & with the mushrooming number of cases of needed reconstructive surgery - why has no one been prosecuted for breaking British law? (Even when a $40,000 bounty is offered for the first prosecution) 

Other European countries, with increased muslim populations, have also been forced to deal with the abomination of female genital mutilation (FGM).

French hospitals, also funded by national welfare, are being sought by castrated women for gential reconstructive surgery.:

"In recent years around 2,800 women who immigrated to France from Africa or second generation immigrants, of the age group between 18 and 50, have turned to hospitals and centres in Paris and Nantes funded by national welfare to have their genitals reconstructed, devastated by the practice of female genital mutilation (FGM). Strangely, immigrant families often resort to inflicting this perverse on their own daughters in order to deal with difficult living conditions in a foreign country"  LINK

Recently the Dutch government pondered laws that would jail the parents who allowed or performed gential mutilation on their daughters. FGM is illegal in Sweden and a father was jailed for forcing the barbaric procedure on his 13 yr. old daugher. A mother in Denmark also received a "suspended" sentence for planning the circumcision of her daughters. Both of the latter were landmark cases. 

The high cost of reconstructive surgery, born by British taxpayers, will continue to soar until the cultural & ideological mores, under the guise of religion, demanding FGM are eliminated.  Pressure needs to be placed on the police to enforce the law and solicitors/lawyers must make prosecution of the crime of FGM a priority. Serious jailtime should be a mandatory sentence for the perpetrators.

Far more reprehensible is the pain, shame and disfigurement that continues to be inflicted upon innocent little girls and young women - even while they are living Western countries - countries where the procedure is illegal and they should be safe.

words fail me. Islam is the most revolting of all "faiths". we must rid ourselves of this (self inflicted) curse.

[MUSLIM4LYF]

How can anyone justify Islam's treatment of women, when it imprisons Afghans under blue shuttlecock burqas and makes Pakistani girls marry strangers against their will? How can you respect a religion that forces women into polygamous marriages, mutilates their genitals, forbids them to drive cars and subjects them to the humiliation of "instant" divorce? In fact, none of these practices are Islamic at all. Anyone wishing to understand Islam must first separate the religion from the cultural norms and style of a society. Female genital mutilation is still practised in certain pockets of Africa and Egypt, but viewed as an inconceivable horror by the vast majority of Muslims. Forced marriages may still take place in certain Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi communities, but would be anathema to Muslim women from other backgrounds.
Indeed, Islam insists on the free consent of both bride and groom, so such marriages could even be deemed illegal under religious law. A woman forbidden from driving a car in Riyadh will cheerfully take the wheel when abroad, confident that her country's bizarre law has nothing to do with Islam. Afghan women educated before the Taliban rule know that banning girls from school is forbidden in Islam, which encourages all Muslims to seek knowledge from cradle to grave, from every source possible. The Koran is addressed to all Muslims, and for the most part it does not differentiate between male and female. Man and woman, it says, "were created of a single soul," and are moral equals in the sight of God. Women have the right to divorce, to inherit property, to conduct business and to have access to knowledge.
A Muslim has a genuine reason for divorce only if a spouse's behaviour goes against the sunnah of Islam - in other words, if he or she has become cruel, vindictive, abusive, unfaithful, neglectful, selfish, sexually abusive, tyrannical, perverted - and so on. Her husband is not her master; a Muslim woman has only one Master, and that is God. If her husband does not represent God's will in the home, the marriage contract is broken. Prophet never hit a woman, child or old person, and was emphatic that those who did could hardly regard themselves as the best of Muslims. Moreover, he also stated that a man should never hit "one of God's handmaidens". Nor, it must be said, should wives beat their husbands or become inveterate nags.
So, does Islam oppress women? While the spirit of Islam is clearly patriarchal, it regards men and women as moral equals. Moreover, although a man is technically the head of the household, Islam encourages matriarchy in the home.
Women may not be equal in the manner defined by Western feminists, but their core differences from men are acknowledged, and they have rights of their own that do not apply to men

Koran chapter 2 verse 223:
"Your wives are a tilth unto you, so approach your tilth when and how you will."

Chapter 4 verse 11
"Allah directs you in regard of your childrens inheritance-to the male apportion equal to that of two females."

There are verses in the koran which display better feelings towards women but these EARLIER ones are ABROGATED and OVERULED by the LATER ones which show a distinct contempt for women in general. In a hadith narrated by Aisha (Bukhari 1.493) mohammed compared women to dogs and donkeys.

The true islamic attitude towards women is displayed by the Taliban in Afghanistan. No equality or rights whatsoever.

Let us not blame it all entirely on the muslim religion, I am a Christain, and suffered the same fate. Christains also mutilate. It is not a religious issue, it is a social one and not one to be isolated.

sometimes I think think religious people think up the sickest concept you could do to another human and then claim 'It's God's will' What is wrong with these people?
Well.. a nice move to offer the reconstructive surgery..
