Thank God for America.

[Ghanaman84]

This is not really Ghanaian culture as much as it is Togolese.

[cyndiaholman]

THIS IS SO UNGODLY! THEY NEED HELP

[nityjr]

Haha...Find me GWB!

[hyper10shun]

[saber97]

this is nonsense.the government and the international aid should do all they can to save these sisters before more of them fall into this antique and nasty practise.help them to have more awareness.

This reminds of something I read about in a part of India, where girls are sent to live as slaves of a goddess.

[Philos2006]

Once again abuse by a representative of god.When is it ever going to end.

[MaddyMill]

Perhaps these false oracles, prophets, priests and or preachers are a representation of YOUR G-d because they surely don't represent mine.

[nicholas9999]

maddy: that's great, start a fight. point the finger.

[MaddyMill]

Start a fight? Point the finger? Lad you aren't making a lick of sense!! Especially if you purposely directed your comment towards me. Anyone who believes that these atrocities has anything to do with G-d or his "representatives" are the ones who are pointing the finger not I!

[nicholas9999]

maddy: What is it about your name followed by a colon that you don't understand? Thanks for proving my point. Just to straighten you out, if you want to do something atrocities, you need to understand what motivates them. If you want to understand, you gotta realize that no one gives a damn about _your_ view of their beliefs, it is _their_ view that matters.

[MaddyMill]

"if you want to do something atrocities"

Bloke again you make no sense. Before you set me straight - straighten out that sentence.

You can't just throw words like "atrocities" haphazardly into any ol' sentence.

AGAIN YOU MAKE NO SENSE!

[nicholas9999]

maddy: As you well know, the sentence should read "if you want to do something about these atrocities." And again, by being disingenuous, you show you have no argument and no game.

The international community really needs to do more about the plight of women in tribal African communities. Enslavement, abuse, and genital mutilation are just some of the horrors these women face. Interesting video...even if it did make me mad!

[boredcloud]

wheres Richard Dawkins when you need him?

[brick4sale]

Yeah some white uptight Brit is going to enlighten these African tribes into Atheism get real use reason yourself.

[boredcloud]

1-it was a joke

2-I don't see what being British has to do with it

3-don't underestimate Africans

[MaddyMill]

White?? Please don't assume especially if YOU TOO ARE DIRECTING YOUR COMMENT TOWARDS ME!

[MaddyMill]

I apologize. I ASSUMED your comment was directed towards me because it was under mine.
