Female Genital Mutilation Reaches Norway

Reuters reports that police in Norway have arrested a Gambian-born man and charged him and his wife with subjecting five of their six daughters to genital mutilation. U.N. agencies say an estimated 100 to 140 million women and girls worldwide have undergone genital mutilation. It is prevelant among Muslims especially in Africa. Reuters provided disgusting excuses for this horrible mutilation in their story. Reuters writes that it "arouses horror among many people in the West but is a rite of passage for young women in many countries." They further write that "proponents say it promotes chastity before marriage and fidelity afterwards by reducing female sexual desire." It is repulsive that reuters in their multicultural haze would feel they need to provide justifications for this horrible injustice against young women. I do not want to hear "both sides" of this story when I read Reuters or any other Western information source. Don't become counsel for the defense of the West's enemies. I want to hear utter and complete condemnation of those sick irrational monsters that would committ these terrible acts.

Where is the feminist outcry about this issue? As usual, feminists are more worried about the evil conservatives and the Christian Right than Muslims throughout the world that treat their women like cattle and destroy genetalia. Tweet
