It’s noteworthy that this article didn’t correct the mother when she said female genital mutilation was a religious necessity. We are constantly told in the West that FGM is cultural and has nothing whatsoever to do with Islam, but the reality that no one dares to face is that female genital mutilation (FGM) is justified in Islamic law.

It is practiced by some non-Muslims, but only in majority-Muslim areas where the influence of Islamic culture, mores and law is all-pervasive.

“It is a religious thing. Do you want to change religion?” said one Egyptian in response to a campaign to eradicate female genital mutilation. “You only listen to what the West is saying.”

The establishment media ignores the fact that FGM is mandated in Islamic law: “Circumcision is obligatory (for every male and female) (by cutting off the piece of skin on the glans of the penis of the male, but circumcision of the female is by cutting out the bazr ‘clitoris’ [this is called khufaadh ‘female circumcision’]).” — Umdat al-Salik e4.3, translated by Mark Durie, The Third Choice, p. 64

Why is it obligatory? Because Muhammad is held to have said so: “Abu al- Malih ibn Usama’s father relates that the Prophet said: ‘Circumcision is a law for men and a preservation of honour for women.’” — Ahmad Ibn Hanbal 5:75

“Excision trial in France: a mother sentenced,” translated from “Procès de l’excision en France : une mère de famille condamnée,” TV5 Monde, April 5, 2022:

Jurors and magistrates have decided: the law takes precedence over tradition. In Le Mans, a mother was given a five-year suspended prison sentence for having had her three eldest daughters circumcised during trips to Djibouti. Sociologist Isabelle Gillette-Faye, a specialist in excision, sheds light on the issues at stake in this trial.

On March 30 and 31, 2022, a mother of seven children appeared before the Assize Court of Sarthe, in central-western France, for “complicity in violence against a minor under the age of 15 followed by mutilation or permanent disability.” Specifically, she is accused of having subjected her three eldest daughters to excision. However, this mutilation of the female sex is strictly prohibited and punishable, in France, by fifteen years of imprisonment – ??in Djibouti, too, excision has been prohibited since 1995. This trial is the first in France for ten years after that of Nevers, in 2012.
