FGM: Detroit doctor Jumana Nagarwala faces life in jail for female genital mutilation

a reply to: 727Sky

What about the parents?

Arent they also being held responsible?

Seems as though it was done with their permission.

Its not like a 7yo can get to a doctor's office on their own.

If these people feel genital mutilation is right who are all of you to say it's wrong? How much different is it than circumcision?

I'd love to hear why your opinion is right and other people's opinions are wrong.

That is why it is better to have a female doctor named Jenny, Anne, Cathy, etc...rather than Habjabibi Rhandrwalalalal or whatever in the case this doctor's name was.

Alrighty then, you asked. Circumcision is removing a non-sensitive flap of skin, useless in intercourse. FGM is removing the clitoris and surrounding tissue, essential for the female orgasm. That's why it's called 'mutilation'.

Male circumcision is an unnecessary operation imposed on young children for cultural reasons. Are we measuring the rights and wrongs by how much pain is involved?

Maybe unnecessary, and pain cannot be measured but long term consequences?

No lifetime consequences for FGM it is barbaric and has lifetime medical

consequences.....

Long-term consequences can include:

urinary problems (painful urination, urinary tract infections);
vaginal problems (discharge, itching, bacterial vaginosis and other infections);
menstrual problems (painful menstruations, difficulty in passing menstrual blood, etc.
scar tissue and keloid;
sexual problems (pain during intercourse, decreased satisfaction, etc.);
increased risk of childbirth complications (difficult delivery, excessive bleeding, caesarean section, need to resuscitate the baby, etc.) and newborn deaths;
need for later surgeries: for example, the FGM procedure that seals or narrows a vaginal opening (type 3) needs to be cut open later to allow for sexual intercourse and childbirth (deinfibulation). Sometimes genital tissue is stitched again several times, including after childbirth, hence the woman goes through repeated opening and closing procedures, further increasing both immediate and long-term risks;

From what I have studied Muslims perform two different types of procedures on the female.

Female circumcision. The clitoris hood (a covering) and labia (a protector) are removed, keeping the nerves of the clitoris constantly exposed. This results in life-long pain. Even clothing against it can be painful. Bathing is painful. They claim it enhances sexual intercourse. .From what I've read it doesn't. It causes painful intercourse, and even pain when one is not.

FGM is the actual removal of the clitoris itself. Enough said. This would be the equivalent of a male having the head of the penis removed, as far as intercourse goes.

There are some really sick people in this world. She could be shot at dawn, noon, or any other time that is convenient as far as I am concerned.

A doctor in the US city of Detroit has been charged with carrying out female genital mutilation (FGM) on young girls in what is believed to be the first case of its kind in the country.
Prosecutors said Jumana Nagarwala had been performing the practice on girls aged between six and eight for 12 years.

Of course she is claiming she did not do it.

In a voluntary interview with investigators earlier this week Dr Nagarwala denied being involved in any such procedure, local media reported.

But prosecutors said she had performed "horrifying acts of brutality on the most vulnerable victims".

Some travelled to her practise from outside the state of Michigan and were told not to talk about the procedure, they added.

This underground witch doctor may just be the tip of the iceberg. Maybe Doc Jumana needs an angle grinder with a coarse wire wheel jammed into her crotch for a while. This should be ok with the SJW's as it is part of her "culture."

This shows us how powerful the faith is in the people of Islam.
Has anyone mentioned Islam yet?

That's a common mistake, FGM is not an Islamic practice, although it's done in some Muslim countries, it's a regional tradition, not a religious tradition.

Without a mutilated vagina, how will these girls find a good muslim husband when they become women at the age of nine?

Their adult male cousins will not want anything to do with them!

These little Aishas deserve their Muhammeds!

Let them practice their culture religion, racist islamophobes!

Third wave feminists will now embrace mutilated vaginas as "empowering" like wearing the hijab.

They will start mutilating their pink hats in honor of this brave women doctor being opressed.

Christians ?

I might not be up to date with the latest religious practices. Remind me...are Christians doing it also ?

Yes. Absolutely.

It is, and will remain a sick practice. To make a child go through that. One thing is to let people decide when they are adults if they want to be circumcised, but on children?
