Should female genital
mutilation continue and why?
 No
way! No tradition no matter how old it is, should be revered
more than the teachings of Islam. Islam preaches women's
right- what right does FGM give to a woman? None!

No,
of course not. That is absolutely illegal in Islam as in any
other law. Women mutilation is not a part of the Islam but
derives from the traditions in Africa. In their (hedon)
culture it is permitted.
Since
Islam took over their religion that tradition stayed in their
culture. Even though in some Islamic countries they copied it,
it has no Islamic base and therefore it should be banned. The
ones who continue doing it should get a severe punishment.

No.
FGM should not continue we are not living in medieval times
and if these so called Muslims are doing this because of
religion then they are going against Allah, who has created a
woman’s body.
These
uneducated people don't understand that in Islam you are not
supposed to remove internal organs unless of sickness or
accident. Please educate them on this subject and birth
control.

Yes.
Islam says female genital mutilation should be done with girls
at the age of 6 yrs.
Fauzia,

Of
Course not!!! It is completely un-Islamic. Circumcision is done only to
males and that has many medical benefits. But not to
females.
The
article does not consist of any Islamic ruling and misleads
the reader. I suggest that proper research be done and publish
the Islamic ruling along with articles of this kind.

Obviously
not. It's one of those issues where tradition does not help.
We as a world society that is striving to progress and grow
intellectually should question customs which are clouded by
ignorance. This is a procedure which brings harmful, painful
effects.
To
remain silent and follow this unspoken rule as a result of
fear is to neglect oneself to the point of extinguishing
reason. Our body was given by God to be treated with utmost
respect, when a women is mutilated to satisfy a man or a
custom she is disrespecting our creator and herself.
Those
who victimized a woman and brought her such suffering will
most definitely someday face the consequence of their actions.

Absolutely
not, it is the most inhuman acts ever to be perpetuated. You
are mutilating the body and physically and mentally damaging
women for life. This practice should be stopped immediately.
Jessica,

People
carrying out female mutilation should be mutilated themselves
and see how they like it. Move into the modern (thinking
)world.
Doug
Jacques, age 86, Nambuccxa Heads
No,
female genital mutilation should NOT continue. All blind
beliefs are baseless. The women's future behaviour depends on
the way they are brought up at home and not because of FGM.
Educate
the illiterate or the new generation of women and men. Old
illiterate fools can go to hell. This practice is inhumane.
