I despise genital mutilation of women and find it abhorrent feminists at large are silent on the issue and they're afraid to attack the religion largely responsible for it or really, even question the practices.
I've yet to see a single feminist take issue with a number of anti-women issues pertaining to Islam yet they love telling Western men how poorly we treat women.

Archpriest Chaplin, one of the most prominent Orthodox priests in Russia, rushed to the mufti’s defence after outraged headlines splashed across Russian media and social networks.
“What feminist howling!” he wrote in a Facebook post defending the right of minorities to preserve religious traditions.
“Circumcising all women probably isn’t necessary. Orthodox women don’t need it because they are not promiscuous,” he wrote.
“Of course God created women to bear and raise children. Feminism is a lie of the 20th century,” he added.
One of Russia’s most senior Islamic scholars says his statement that Muslim women should undergo genital mutilation to “decrease the amount of sin in the world” was taken too literally by the media and misinterpreted.
“I was asked by the media if I was aware of the practice of female circumcision. I said I was, though it is not a part of Sharia [Islamic law],” Ismail Berdiev, the head of the North Caucasus Muslim Coordination Center, told RT in a phone interview.
“Then as a joke I added that if there was more of it, there would be less perversion in the world. And the media just printed the words and ran with the story…next I hear of it, is ‘cleric wants to sterilize all women’.”
...
RT asked Berdiev to clarify his position on FGM once and for all.
“Of course I think FGM is medieval barbarism,” said the scholar. “But this is a matter for the family, and we shouldn’t necessarily interfere. I don’t think it is a big problem, and just because someone performed female circumcision somewhere once upon a time, doesn’t mean we have to talk about it endlessly.”

If we cared enough it would be gone. There would be no aid programs but international sanctions untill they enforce the existing or the new tougher laws.

Jewish rabbis love to circumsize boys as it gives them the chance to be pedophiles as they suck the cut penis 'to stop it bleeding!' But my Bible says keep away from blood.
