Female Genital Mutilation – A Muslim Doctor Caught Practicing in Michigan

Female Genital Mutilation – a Doctor Caught Practicing in Michigan.

A few Patriarchal  societies still practice cutting the female part of the genitalia to deny them sexual pleasure
By Mike Ghouse

TODAY’S STORY – A Female Doctor was caught in Michigan cutting female genitals. By the way, it was legal in the United States till 1996.  Quite a lot of research is done on the topic and the links are at World Muslim Congress.

(Click to read the press release from the U.S. Department of Justice.)

In the disappearing patriarchal societies, men controlled how women should live. These men did not believe women should enjoy sexual pleasures, so they decided to cut the female part of the genitalia that gives them pleasure. The Europeans placed chastity belt on women so they remain untouched by other men.

Cults have their own secret practices, and anything secretive ends up being a cult. It is controlled by one live person, usually male, and they are small private groups who live rights amongst us.

Here is my theory – these men are impotent – they are bang-slam thank-you-Ma’m kind of men, they did not want their women to know about the joys of sexual pleasure that both men and women can equally have, and they reduced her to the role of procreation. The European men chose the belt, so the women will never know the joys of sexual pleasure while they are out in the wars looting and robbing others.

 

These cults are found among Christians, Muslims, Hindus and other traditions. Most of these cults are vanishing, however, there are still some out there.

In India and China, shamelessly, even today female infanticide is common. A female baby is a curse to these cults and many families abort the babies, you hear it often among Hindus, Muslims and others. Please beware, it is not a religious practice, neither Islam nor Hinduism will tolerate this, but the secret practice is around.

The Bohra Community among Muslims believes in Female Genital Mutilation, not all of them do, and it is a new thing to disobey their chief and the dissent is growing among them. Several years ago, I wrote to the late Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin, head of the group to simply issue one single Farman (directive) to put an end to the practice among that community. There are petitions going on now to no avail. But it is coming to an end soon, all bad things have to come to an end. Cults are all about money, as their small community disintegrates, and the donations start dwindling, the new chief will come to senses. God willing, I will write another article and seek active support from Muslims around the world to get out and condemn this practice and I hope the Christians and others do their part as well..

  2. Female Genital Mutilation must end now – a through article written way back. Warning – please beware that the graphics are very difficult to see – it took me a lot of guts to see them. Imagine the trauma those girls had to go through, if they can endure it, the least we can do is see it, understand it and act against this.  http://worldmuslimcongress.org/female-genital-mutilation-fgm-must-end-now/
  3. Male Circumcision is not a cult practice, as it is not secretive. Indeed, the article on defending the Jewish and the Muslim practice was cited in withdrawing the referendum in San Francisco to ban Circumcision. I am encouraged by that. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mike-ghouse/circumcision-satire_b_872270.html
