  • it differs from one culture to another on how they do circumcision. some are brutal while some are not that extreme as what u think :)

  • @Amandalx21 ALL genital mutilation is evil!

  • @benjonsonable err, did u get circumcised before?

  • haha, i'm a girl and i was circumcised when i was a baby. didnt feel/ know a thing.i think it's okay if it's just the foreskin i suppose.

  • @Amandalx21 OMFG typical of a girl to be so stupid. The foreskin is important, that's why it's there. Do you know how many nerve endings are in the foreskin?

  • @jayc342009 if one wants to do it. so be it. if one doesn't want to. so be it.

  • Barbarians.

  • It makes me cry and ANGRY the way woman are fucking treated in this world. I am so mad I could kill every fucking politician in these countries and face the consequences head on. In India, female babies are killed at birth when the parents want boys instead. My mom had 2 abortions when she found out they were females, i could have been one. I was born in Saudi Arabia where women still can't fucking drive!! My dad abused my mom and it was allowed. FUCK THIS WORLD, I WISH I COULD CHANGE IT.

  • @fantard100 Move to a more developed country......

  • and it's 21st century...

  • this indescribable utter disgrace of a 'practice' was put into place by 'men' (not that one can really call them 'men' )and as far as i'm fucking concerned the practice now should be that all men in favor of keeping women as slaves a.d making sure they are pure for the consummation of a forced marriage (their vaginas are sewn shut, not just clitoris cut,and the husband penetrates her scar ensuring she is indeed a virgin)should be taken to the street,held down and castrated in front of everyone.

  • forget decreasing by 50%. it needs to be 100% STOPPED.

  • youtube.com/watch?v=Q65vgiJenS­4

    Working together for an end to female genital cutting

  • women make on women .. is a female custom... not male

  • @felixclelix your the stupid ignorant one,you can't even spell !!!! no matter what country or race no one deserves this!!!! TODO SOMOS HERMANOS BASURA!!!!

  • Just hearing someone say Female Gential Mutilation makes me want to boke :(

  • Also, the chance of growing up with penile complications due to not being circumcised, are about the same as the chances of complications DUE to circumcision.

  • @theundeh NOT TRUE! The complications of male circumcision are 100%. You've had a part of your body cut off!!!! A part with 1000's of nerve endings and receptors!!!! We have forskins for a reason and that reason is NOT for religious ceremonies.

    Cutting bits off people for ANY reason other than direct & immediate medical problems is WRONG!

  • Black or White a womans body is beautiful,

  • This is barbaric! Why should others decide what is to be done to YOUR body? If children decide to get circumcised when they are legally old enough to make that decision themselves, then they should be allowed, but adults-especially their very own parents who are supposed to look after their child's best interests- should not do this to kids! It does not make girls "cleaner," it just destroys their physical ability to feel sexual pleasure and, in some cases, robs them of life.

  • what the fuck is wrong with these countries? i don't want to sound like a bigot but these people are fucking savages, it's no wonder they're permanently piss-poor, illiterate, crippled by disease and constantly having wars with each other.

  • @jimmyshitbags The answer's in the vid:

    "It is rooted very firmly in cultural beliefs..it's very hard to discourage."

    "You're talking about the African continent, the one continent where bride price is fundamental to the economy of Africa. Forget about even gender issues..."

    It is ALWAYS ABOUT MONEY.

    Chattels, camels, wives, oil, bombing American buildings.....is only EVER about money. The sooner more of us understand this, the better we can bridge the "gulf of misunderstanding".

  • oh dear, stop this horrible tradition, om God, there are rel victm, i feel bad when I see such things happen

  • Nothing wrong with male circumcision. Circumcised males are usually cleaner.

  • @Lwaxy Circumcised females are usually cleaner. Is that any reason to cut off a woman's clitoral hood? Is it any excuse to cut off a male's foreskin?

    FGM and MGM are essentially the same. Both confer extremely minor health and hygienic benefits, both reduce sexual pleasure, and both are barbaric and disgusting.

  • @Lwaxy NONSENSE there is MUCH wrong with mutilating a child for no reason, without INFORMED consent, and when you dribble about cleanliness you simply show your ignorance

    there is MUCH wrong with having a child so harmed due to 'adults religious & nonsense beliefs' or COMMANDS (as in islam) and DEPRIVING him of what other males have over him re sensitivity etc

  • Religion was created to stop the less fortunate masses from revolting against order given by superioir being. If the poor realized they had nothing to lose they they would have just robbed, destroyed and taken riches and treasure that was needed in order to build cities and progress economy and civilization. Religion is rediculous and those who follow live disciplined dilution. If you truely believe in gods and magical flying horses that give 3 wishes to a happy life then you are not real.

  • OMG, people are so stupid.

  • i am totally against female circumcision, but i really dont know my stance on male circumcision

  • @Pmtmr

    Why do you think I am a NAZI, because YOU say I am?

    You judge alot of people unfairly, that is the very definition of NAZI.

    Or is it because I am against male circumcision, which you are obviously in support of?

  • @Pmtmr

    Female circumcision is wrong because it's done to females.

    Male circumcision is perfectly acceptable.

    In fact its paid for by most maternity insurance plans.

    The AMA (American Medical Association) requires male mutilation services be provided by all accredited Hospitals nationwide.

    Infantile genital mutilation (aka Male Circumcision) is a mandatory course taught in US, Canadian and European Medical Schools and students must show proficiency in the ancient art to get medical credentials.

  • This is the reason I am proud to be born an European I did not have to worry about anything in particular all my life.. I realize just how privileged I am.. we don't circumcise the baby boys or take the clitoris away from young girls..what the hell ..

  • This actually stems from men's inadequacies about themselves, their looks, size, and "performance". The practice is done so women won't feel disappointed, because they won't have that feeling if sexual stimulation regardless of male performance. Are you so insecure that you have to make a religious rule about mutilating your brides just so they'll obey and not have any sexual desires? Hm. Sounds like the problem stems deeper than the women alone. Are the men really doing their job right?

  • Oh, and they call any woman who doesn't have this practice done "open" and "undesirable" This is sick and false. Women were made the way they were to be natural and beautiful, regardless of shape, size, color, proportions. Did you know woman in the UK are starting to have more and more labiaplasties because guys want girls with "a pretty fanny"? Implants, liposuction, botox, injections, removals, fad diets, pills, I mean, really? When did beauty suddenly get subjective and so vague and unreal?

  • como é que ainda é possivel no séc.XXl isto acontecer!!!!!

    Isto é um crime ninguém tem direito de fazer isto a crianças e para mais a sangue frio!!!!como é que alguem é capaz de fazer isto???!!!!

    E não me venham falar de crenças ou até mesmo de religiões isto é uma autentica barbaridade!!!!!!

  • HOW TO RIP THE NUTS OFF YOUR HUSBAND. GRAP THEM WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT AND TURN MANY IN A FAST CLOCKWISE DIRECTION. WOMEN!!!

  • the men in these countries are jelous. I bet they just wish they had two pleasure points.

  • ANyone or women who does this to another women should be put in prison for life!!!!!! That is the most horrible thing to do to a young girl and they should put a stop to it you FREAKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOu piece of shit ASSHOLES!!!

  • Slavery and inhumane mortification of self pride will never die....as long as ignorance and foolishness still live.

  • if the clitoris is the equivalent of a penis, whats the male equivalent of a vagina? separating these 2 mutilations is disgusting. both violations of human rights. both equally sick. both need to be illegal

  • @lesbianchipmunk they don't cut off the tip of the penis just the foreskin ant they don't sew the tip of the penis shut

  • @lesbianchipmunk lol theres no male equivalent to vagina. because men dont menstruate, dont become pregnant and give birth to the babies. womens and men hormones differ. why are u insisting on lumping the 2 practices together? do u want to distruct from the issue of Fgm.. if males issues are particul. important to u do raise them. but please do not become ineffective by simply lumping 2 different issues together

  • @dharmaatdawn There's so much wrong with what you said I'm not sure how to go about correcting it.

    Firstly, FGM does not mutilate the vagina, but the vulva. The most common form is hood removal, which is 100% analogous to male circumcision. Girls have a foreskin too.

    Secondly, even if the mechanics differ, male and female genital cutting can be lumped together for one simple reason. They are both disgusting, painful, and destructive practices forced on non-consenting children.

  • @fan3linux You are incorrect. The clitoris and labia play vital parts in female arousal, not only when masturbating but in intercourse too. And if you research the subject a little bit, every victim of FGM that spoke up say, that intercourse is extremely painful for them, and they don't feel sexual pleasure. And this is precisely the reason why it is done: women are not supposed to feel sexual pleasure, because it is considered to be impure. Let's hope, this attitude will change soon!

  • Thank God there is christianity....!!!! no more sex mutilation!!!

  • There is no comparison between female and male circumcision because the reason behind why they are carried out are totally different. Male circumcision is done to help prevent infection and build up of bacteria underneath the foreskin, female circumcision is done purely so a woman cannot enjoy sex or have sexual desires

  • I agree about male circumcision. My brothers did not have circumcision by my mother's choice and they have never complained about any issues aside from others' attitudes and yes some male circumcision can be blotched and affect the male child forever and their ability to have orgasm and perform. However female circumcision is one million times worse in the sense it is done simply to control woman and take away their sexuality. Parents should just avoid circumcision.

  • fuck you codytitcomb9 you sand nigger die!!! You Arabs and your fagot profit Muhammad!!! Islam is trash!!! Islam is about ARAB stupidity!!! You Arabs are going down!!! WE will put you back into your sand dooms.

  • @jamrock1ful in islam it is not necessary for female circumcision.they are ignore so they do it

  • @jamrock1ful ..

    man you need to calm down!

    or your brain might exeplode!

    anyway, why do you care about muslims? if you don't like their religion then don't become one! there's no need to waste your/our time with such offensive and barbaric words.

  • All non-consentual circumcison is wrong. Male and female.

  • No decent god or religion would approve of this -

    Time to start castrating the men for a change...

  • islam is not a religion, it is a political system. See for yourself watch Google Video: "Dispatches - Undercover Mosque" - "Islam: What the West Needs to Know" - "JIHAD IN EUROPE" Then you will hear their own words and see them for what they really are. You may also want to see "60 Minutes, 04.25.10" on cbs news com. If muslims don't like the way we live tell them to leave our country. Deport them if they violate any laws!

  • it's not an argument between male and female mutilation. This discussion is about FEMALE genital mutilation.

    focus on the issue at hand and go find a vid about both gender genital mutilation.

  • these people need to be educated

  • its child abuse, practiced openly, its barbaric

  • male castration and fgm are the same

  • obviously fgm doesnt work becuz why is africa the main country with aids then so y dont they just stop doing it

  • i dont see why you would expect people to be rational.

  • @BeardClam

    your a dumbass if it was the same men would be have the entire end of there dick cut off because they cut the whole clitoris off you truly are an idiot

  • No silly billy! Thats just what the US media wants you to think. They only cut off the clitoral hood - its a bit of skin covering the clit, just like a boys foreskin lol.

  • @BeardClam

    and @ delightracardeanne:

    guess what, you're both right about the circumcision. There are different types. If you search on google, pictures: "waris dirie circumcicion" and you will find a drawind about 3 different types of cicrumcision...

  • @chaz2119

    Mutilation in any form is still mutilation and a violation of the persons right to their whole body. To rave against FGM and yet allow MGM we are hypocrites.

  • very cruel way of keeping women from adultery. can be a manner of population control as well.

  • Clipped cunts and snipped snatches!

  • Everykind of religious motivated traditon forcing others has to be stopped. No matter, what's the name of this tradition/relgion.

    Everybody is involved in it, who adores traditions, which are forcing and harming others.

    Let's proof all our religious traditions, if they legitimice violence.

    What you do, what you practice counts more then abstract religious ideas.

    May , you all be blessed, who search for a harmless life, no matter believing in god or not.

  • This is not an islamic ruling or is it encouraged islamically - dont judge the religion over stupid ppls ideas

  • Stupid perverted men who invent religion & express hatred towards woman because of their own sick male minds. Stupid, worthless woman cows for following these religions like cattle with no brains.

  • Anti-female circumcision is western propaganda against Muslims.

    The truth is so called 'mutilation' of female genitals involves the removal of the clitoral hood - which is analogous to the male foreskin. Basically it is a harmless procedure.

    Considering USA lets the Jew cut foreskins off boys its hypocrisy that we can't remove the clitoral hood from our Muslim children.

  • Your ignorance is shameful. Do some research before you shoot your foolish mouth off next time.

  • I have done research, you moron. That's why I know that cutting the female clitoral hood is no different from cutting the male foreskin.

    Your ignorant, you believe the anti-Muslim propaganda.

  • I believe that both MALE and FEMALE circumcision is barbaric and should b outlawed. Call it whatever you want but it is still mutilating your precious child's body , all in the name of religion. Whether it is Muslim or Jewish beliefs that drive parents to do it, is of no concern to me. I am anti-circumcision, not anti-Muslim.

  • @meitagh Men get circumcised just because it's a common practice. I'm not even Jewish or Muslim and I had it done when I was a kid. Honestly I'm happy it was done cuz it doesn't bother me and I like it. No different than having your dick piereced, but that's not outlawed now is it? What they do to women I would say is wrong because that does interfere with natural processes. Removal of the foreskin does not. And don't give me bullshit because it's just a highly common cosmetic genetic trait.

  • @mdebator: You may be 'happy', but you'll never know what you're missing out on. The foreskin is not just a layer of skin, it is functioning sexual tissue. It is packed full of sensitive nerves. It also keeps the head covered, so it does not become desensitized as it rubs against your pants. Circumcised men experience only a fraction of what uncircumcised men experience.

  • @mdebator: People don't get dick piercings when they're a baby - it's normally a choice people make later in life. Nobody is arguing that if somebody wants a circumcision we should deny them one - but the whole idea that we allow our parents to mutilate us before we're old enough to make a choice for ourselves is disgusting. It's their body, they're the ones who have to live with it for the rest of their lives, it should be THEIR CHOICE.

  • @meitagh Male is something different because some the penis can become deformed in some boys.

  • @kinggstatus Well thats just a bullshit answer and a bullshit justification, I recommend you read up and educate yourself on this matter. If there is a 0.03% chance of people growing up with a SLIGHT ear problem, does that justify cutting the ear off of perfectly healthy infants? No, thats retarded. So is cutting the foreskin of a perfectly healthy infant, to MAYBE prevent a MINOR problem that can be FIXED with either a minor surgery or even cream. This is a really retarded way to think man.

  • They don't just cut the HOOD, the cut the entire female clitoris off and sew the vaginal lips shut until marriage, just leaving a small hole for them to pee out of! If you've watched America's Next Top model, there is a girl from one of these countries who now can never have sex because of this barbaric practice because her sewn vaginal lips healed together! You don't understand all cultures, every one is DIFFERENT.

  • Listen to me fatty ding dong. They only cut the hood off, stop listening to your US anti-Muslim propaganda. Do some research.

  • They also saw the lips together. You research some more!!

  • No they don't you sulky suzanne! They sometimes just prick the clit with a pin, at the most they cut the hood off. You really are a gullible little monkey!

  • You´re right, we should stop listening to Muslim propaganda, we should listen to rude, agressive people like you instead. You´re bad propaganda by yourself. No help needed!

  • @monicaqr

    You racist pig, you hate me because you don't understand my culture.

  • Again, you´re being agressive. I never said I hated you and I´m not racist, please! I just don´t like the way you keep offending everyone. Can´t you tell?  Read your comments over. I won´t fall in your trap. Not going to offend you and I can see it´s impossible for you to discuss a subject without being narrow minded. It´s not that we don´t understand your culture, but any culture that thinks less of women is obsolete and horrible. Good bye.

  • @BeardClam Did you not listen to the video THE WHOLE CLITORIS its not even a US network you moron and it makes no difference male or female circumsition is a disscusting practice.

  • @delightracardeanne

    What?! How does she have her period? She has to let it leak through the part that's not sealed shut? Did she have surgery?

  • @deatXbyXchocolate335 Exactly, she has to bleed through that tiny pinhole, and I'm not sure if she ever had surgery to have herself reopened, I'm sure that would be painful to go through too. She's such a beautiful woman. She went on the show to hopefully become a model, but also to spread awareness about the barbaric practices. For those of you who say "they only cut the hood off" who are you? Do you even know what you're saying? Are you one of these people who have been mutilated? Learn facts.

  • @delightracardeanne yea Fatima, she was in cycle 10.....she's from Somalia...was really hurt to know that people would do that to young girls....even at two months old they do it.....Fatima had it done when she was 7..lord help us to see where we go wrong

  • they did the same thing to me :(

  • @superstar1246 really? :( ... I'm dreadfully sorry....

  • Okay. WHOEVER says that male and female circumcision is the same, is a fucking retard. Are you shitting me? Males genitalia is cut when they are babies because it is cleaner and it AVOIDS infection. These women are cut strictly so they don't stray from their partner, and they cannot achieve an orgasm. Men still can after circumcision. This is disgusting. When women get circumcised, it causes medical problems during child birth as well.

  • wrong....its not cleaner at all...and its immoral that babies are so mutilated without need

    so you are advocating chopping off any part of the human bod that can get an infection ???

    it actually harms males...it causes them to have a less sensitive penis that those whose parents werent so 'immoral' as to abuse infants

  • genital mutilation of either gender is equally barbaric!!!!!!

  • @codytitcomb9 male mutilation is ALSO ABUSE and shows how immoral religions are when such is inflicted on boys....and its disgusting that males are denied right to INFORMED consent

    what makes you think a harmed dick is cleaner..surely surely you would know the properties of the foreskin LOL

  • @proudfemale

    im sorry but are u completely oblivious to what this video is saying? or did u not notice that this is TRADITION and not religion?, i think ur really ignorant to say that male circumsition and female mutaliation is the same. its a well estabilished fact that when boys are circumcised in early childhood infection is prevented and they can recover, however a female can never recover and has no benfits. so please dont belittle or compare the two as if they're the same.

  • @RedSeaCoral yes, I will tell you that both sexes being mutilated is the same....ABUSE

    NONSENSE..are you saying that any body parts/tissue that can be infected should be CHOPPED OFF ....so why are the medical profession showing how against they are to circumcision

    dont EVER EVER try and excuse the fact that 100+ mill muslim girls are so mutilated and its your imams who demand it be done

  • well guys ..I'm one of these girls and I enjoy sex amazingly -with my husband ofcorse -so, don't act as our protectores if you only know about those in South Africa where there is no proper medical care..

  • @RedSeaCoral and you show how weak/dumb/immoral you are to try to claim that ABUSE/MUTILATION and chopping off of healthy tissue is tradtition for females but religion for boys....and therefore ok

    you SHOW THE FILTH of religion

  • @proudfemale, I quite agree with you. Only outdated religions could persuade parents that the genital cutting of girls or boys is a good thing. Amazing that these silly religious people don't see their own contradiction: First, they teach us that God created the human body according to His design. Then the same imams and Jews interfere with god's design by hacking genital parts off minors who are unable to defend themselves!

  • @RedSeaCoral I agree with you, a male can feel everything as if they never been cut... I like my men that way, its cleaner, and like I said before my friend was 9 and had to do it because it got infected and as for cutting body parts off because its infected they do everyday, if they didnt you could die from the spred of infection...

  • @79crystalcrazy, how would you know that "a circumcised male can feel everything as if never cut"? The foreskin is there for a reason! It is richly innervated. Do you suppose that the female foreskin (clitoral hood and inner labia) is any cleaner than male foreskin - on what grounds?! Only the USA circumcises most of its baby boys non-religiously. European men are glad to be genitally intact. Most US guys are mutilated at birth. Google "foreskin function". The male body is NOT yours to control!

  • Comment removed

  • @psandbergnz Circumcision: Possible benefits include a lower risk of urinary tract infections, penile cancer and sexually transmitted diseases. My husband does not complain about not feeling anything, he feels everything, why? He lets Moma know and for it being cleaner, yes, if you do not pull it back and clean, it will get dirty and infected and it will be removed, and yes females are diff than males, for one ours is in the inside, you cut ours, its like cutting off your penis.

  • @79crystalcrazy well at least you are right to cite "possible benefits", because the AAP continues to say that the potential benefits are not sufficient to recommend it. The RISKS of the operation (not to mention the LOSS of sexually functional tissue) probably outweigh alleged benefits. Not a single peidatric/medical society recommends routine male circumcision. The Canadian Paediatric Society in its advice to doctors says: "CIRCUMCISION OF NEWBORNS SHOULD NOT BE ROUTINELY PEROFRMED".

  • @proudfemale this is crap because my best friend got his infected and they had to cut it when he was like 9 yrs old.... my two sons do not remember getting it done and I wont have to worry about them latter

  • @codytitcomb9 Male and female circumcision is juste the same since that's genital mutilation. Circumcised male are not cleaner. To be clean, just wash you. Women circumcised can have an orgasm since their vagina is steel intact, they just can't masturbate, exactly like circumcised men can't masturbate them like normal men.

    The real problem about male and female circumcision is psychologic problems and the child rights.

  • @fan2linux a lot of women can only feel pleasure through their clitoris...but circumsized men can masturbate, they just need lube

  • @LaurenisinWonderland But normal men don't need lube to masturbate them. At the end of the XIX°, male and female circumsision was resurected in the US to stop masturbation which was considered as a trouble.

    Female circusision is not the total ablation of the clitoris, they cut the clitoral hood or the extern part of the clitoris; women can feel pleasure but a lot less.

    Male and female circumcision is the same thing but in one case, this is made in US and by Jewish so it's considered as "normal".

  • @codytitcomb9 Yes, and they often will sew the lips shut. It's absolutely ridiculous-people need to be aware of this so it can be stopped.

  • this is same ting as they do with male but way dont they stop that !!! its the same ting. let them grow up 18+years first and they can say: if they want to be cut or not !!

  • poor human

  • islam hasn't anything to do with that, no matter what they say. And its not true at all that the islam sees women as hoers, who the fuck told you something so stupid? ...

  • dont lie....over 100 million muslims girls are so harmed, and on the dictates of your sicko imams

    LEARN why its done in Indonesia...saying 'it enables prayers to be better heard"

    learn what happened in Yemen just a year ago when the Govt tried to outlaw this backward filth/barbarity..and squirm with shame at how your islamic leaders intervened, and why they did

    and you think MUSLIM imams, islamically appointed males, have nothing to do with islam lol

  • @proudfemale

    Why the lies proudlosers?

    Female Mutilation is a cultural thing.Funny how you change it to " 100 million muslim girls" Between 100 to 140 million girls and women worldwide are living with the consequences of FGM. In Africa, about 92 million girls age 10 years and above are estimated to have undergone FGM. THERE IS NO STATISTICS THAT PROVES THAT 100 MILLIONS OF THOSE GIRLS ARE "MUSLIMS"

  • @proudfemale

    BRING IN A QURANIC VERSE THAT ALLOWS FEMALE MUTILIATION PROUDLOSER. LOL YOUR ATTEMPT WILL BE VERY AMUSING!

  • @cbluver22, can YOU supply a Quranic verse that allows MALE circumcision? I'd like to see you try - you can't! The Moslem Haditha (written traditions) do recommend both male and female circumcision. The level of importance attributed to the Haditha depends on the Moslem scholar.

  • @psandbergnz

    Islam is based on two sources, The Quran and The Hadith. Male Circumcision is practiced done around the world, not just in Muslim communities. There is not hadith that says that femal circumsiion is allowed. Since you claim there is, please provide me the volume and the chapter of the hadith. Trust me, you won't find one. :)

  • @cbluver22, there are several references to female circumcision in Islamic Hadeetha. One is: "Circumcision is customary ("sunnah") for men, and a noble action for women" (Related by Ahmad & al-Bayhaq). In another Hadeeth, Mohammed sees a girl being circumcised, and instructs the female circumciser: "Do not cut severely, as that is better for women and more desirable for a husband.'" (Related by Abu Dawud & al-Bayhaq). This suggests Mohammed's approval of non-radical forms of female circumcision.

  • @psandbergnz

    Those are not reference. Those are so called "hadiths" that you search up at anti-islam websites. How in the world is " (Related by Ahmad & al-Bayhaq)" and "(Related by Abu Dawud & al-Bayhaq). " a reference. I have ALL the Hadith books psandbergnz. When you want to claim something is from a hadith mention the volume and verse. you havn't provided it. Nice try :)

  • @psandbergnz

    MALE circumcision is a fitrah (must be done) in Islam. Female circumcision was a old culture done in Arabia( and pretty much around Asia and Africa). When the prophet was asked about female circumsion, the prophet said that it isn't forbidden but if a person insisted it be done(due to culturally reason) then they are not allowed to cut they clitoris but only the prepuce.

  • @psandbergnz

    I did find this hadith though. " There is a Hadith reported by Umm 'Atiyyah: "A woman used to perform circumcision in Madinah. The Prophet (s.A.w.) said to her: 'When you circumcise, do not cut severely as that is better for a woman and more desirable for a husband.'" Again, it isn't forbidden or allowed, but if one wishes to do it then Islamicaly they shouldn't cut off the clitoris.

  • @psandbergnz

    circumcison isn't mention in the quran so it isn't an important aspect of Islam But following the sunnah of the prophet is part of islam. the prophet and his male companions did it and Allah didn't forbid, therefore it is done.When it comes to female circumcison the prophet didn't forbid it or made it a sunnah. So if a woman wants it done, then she can have it done ONLY if its done the proper way.

  • @cbluver22, yes circumcision (whether male or female) is not central to Islam. Circumcision is not mentioned in the Quran. Male circumcision is a tradition stemming form the Old Testament of the Bible. The Hadeeth (recorded oral tradition) says: "Circumcision is a "sunnah" (recommended custom) for men and a "makrumah" (noble action) for women". African tribal forms of FGM are not Islamic. "

  • @cbluver22, Fitrah" does not mean obligation, though possibly it can mean "right action". An Islamic hadeeth says: "The Fitrah is five: circumcision, shaving the private parts, trimming the moustache..and plucking the armpits." So, do you pluck your armpits? Male circumcision is no more important than plucking your hair!!

    If you insist that male circumcision is required in Islam, then aren't you implying that Allah is an imcompetent dsigner, and that you must CORRECT his creation?!

  • @psandbergnz

    we all know that the hair on our body do have their own benefits. Yet islam encourges to be clean and hygenic. shaving is hygenic. circumsion is a way of being clean and hygenic.

    I am african and i know that we don't do it for relgionus reasons we do for culturally reasons. Like i said before. Following the sunnah of the prphet is importan. He circumcised himself.The quran says to follow what abraham taught and did. Abraham circumcised himself. So that means male muslims should circumcised themselves. For woman it is optional and is more of a culturally thing, but it is not forbidden or encouraged.

  • @cbluver22, you are confused about the prophet! We are not told he circumcised himself. It is said he was born without foreskin! Yes, Abraham circumcised himself. But you can take Abraham's FAITH as your guide without circumcision. God sees your HEART! You, an African, are NOT Abraham's descendant. The sunnah instructs to pluck out hairs, and you don't! Likewise, modern Moslems (having access to good sanitation) do not need circumcision. Just wash yourselves! Why did God create the foreskin?

  • @psandbergnz

    I was wrong. After asking around I've found out that no, it isn't a must for males but it is strongly recommened for the reasons that i already gave you. Circumcison is a way of being hygenic, just like how shaving is a way of hygenic.

  • @cbluver22, I asked an imam recently for his opinion on male circumcision. He said that because it was not mentioned in the Koran, and it is not one of the "five pillars" of Islam, circumcision is NOT mandatory for Moslem men. He too mentioned the hygiene argument. I disagree that hygiene is a good argument, since hygiene is a personal choice. No medical society recommends circumcision for health or hygiene benefits. There are health risks with cutting flesh.

  • hey catzndols.

    Its NOT an islamc practice. There is not one word about it in the Koran. It excists much longer. But of course its a disgusting anti-feminine , stupid tradition

    and it has to be stopped.

  • No matter what you say, anti-muslims refuse to accept anything that doens't make Islam look bad. No matter how many times you tell idiots like catzndolz that Islam CONDEMNS these acts, they will believe what they want to believe just to hate

  • Yes but they use their religion as an excuse to do it even if it doesn't say it.

  • @denkendekatze ofcourse its islamic

    islam sees women as hoers.

  • Everyone listen to what the research people are saying in these documentary's!

    The countries that practice this mutilation against women are Islamic countries!

    This would NEVER be done by Christians!

    This would only be done by cultures that are trying to dominate and control women! ie:Islamic cultures.

    Also look at the clothing and head scarves of the women involved in this barbaric practice! they are wearing traditional islamic attire! not western or Christian fashions!

  • @catzndolz No, not exclusively, nor do all Muslims consider it to be part of the life of a young girl; in the words of Nahid Toubia, author of Female Genital Mutilation: A Call for Global Action, "FGM is practiced by Muslims, Christians, some animists, and one Jewish sect, but it is not a requirement of any of these religions; the distribution of the practice does not follow the distribution of these religious groups on the continentÉthis is a practice of culture more than religion."

  • NO CHRISTIAN community would do this!.I don't care what your ISLAMIC author lied about!This assault against femininity is clearly ISLAMIC! typical Islamic nature.Anti-feminine and typically barbaric.AND THE REAL REASON IS TO stop LESBIAN?BINGO!!! its to discourage homosexual behavior among the gals!! Kiddies!And WHAT exactly do ISLAMISTS think about Homosexuality?WELL, they KILL THEM!!!!!!!!!

  • There are fundamentalist Christian communities that are also quite eager to control and dominate women. This portion of the Christian population makes up a minority. It's the same thing with Islam-there are fundamentalist Muslims who do not believe women deserve equal status. The majority are not fundamentalist though.

    Of course, not all sexism has its roots in religion.

  • Somalis do this. Just disgasting. All men who want their wife to be mutilated, shoud get their dick cut off.

  • that is so disturbing how ould u like ur clit bieng murderd

  • what is that religion if it's not Islamic people?

  • cruelty of islam!!!... must be stopped....

  • it aint islam....

  • all this people are muslims. You dont see christian african countries doing this. This needs to be stopped.

  • yeah they do! even jews do! youre a retard stop being a stupid dick and see what TRADITIONS MEAN, they are unrelated to religion!!!

  • jews do not do this. period.

  • yeah, they just kill entire modern populations these days by bombarding innocent people. you guys are garbage, liars and snakes. and its true. so fuck you guys and your horror warcriminal country being lead by warcriminal racist mothafuckas, Israel.
