[ROCKING1140]

@weepingmuslimwomen : Can i speak to u

[mdselvam]

@ROCKING1140 yes my email id is weepingmuslimwomen@hotmail.com

[markee871]

@weepingmuslimwomen Shut the hell up and stop spreading lies about Islam and Muslims! youre not a good liar either because MEN NEVER PERFORM TH PROCEDURE! the procedure is always done by a woman! so youre lying! stop creating fake sob stories to make Islam look bad! alot of the countries that practice FGM are not Muslims! Kenya,Uganda,Ethiopia,etc! Saudi Arabia,syra,pakistan are all muslim countries and they dont practice it. Its an ancient African habit from the times of Pharaoh!

[piscesariescusp121]

@markee871

Men never perform the procedure, but their still the ones behind this sick ritual. men stay in the background, b/c they don't to physically get involved...so they make women do it. that way, we look bad and you guys get to use the sorry excuse of "MEN NEVER PERFORM THE PROCEDURE..the procedure is always done by a woman" Nice try, but we all know that women didn't establish the practice b/c they wanted to; they're just disempowered and have no means of making changes.

[markee871]

@piscesariescusp121 Get the fuck outta here with your bullshit! you refuse to listen to the truth! you put words in my mouth and your comments will be reported/deleted! youre fucken childish! you need to realize that thesee women see this practice as VITAL! its a rite of passage to womanhood for them! just like in the USA how they thinktaking a child to school will ensure a good future. These mothers dont harm the girls because htey like it you dumb bitch! its what THEY think is best for girls

[markee871]

@piscesariescusp121 And your society is immoral too! 12 yr old girls sleeping around and having premarital sex with 9 guys! ending up pregnant! around the world your society is seen as "loose and immoral" FGM is a sick disgusting horrible practice! and i spent years speaking out agaisnt it. But your society is also fucked up that you allow your daughters to sleep around and have children out of wedlock! your society is disgusting too! youre hated worldwide

[suhuurx]

SOO.. that man said that if you not cut its xaraam & none wants to marry you.. LOOOL im xaraam :D & none wants marry me....................

[89990000]

This is not healthy! >8(

[14thovi]

Just another reason why I wish the we would invade Somalia. Give War A Chance. US Air Force 6th Special Tactics SQD HUA!!

[stronzo5785]

Uncut women are so lovely...just because men in Somalia or Ethiopia think this way doesn't mean that these courageous women aren't beautiful.

Ladies...don't let ignorant men tell you to cut your bodies. Stay strong, stay healthy, and stay uncut.

[Katblue52]

Who cares if people are insulting u I wouldn't let my future daughter be sewn even if people criticized me, if she wants to be seemed I might do it but not if she doesn't want it

[destinygodley]

watch?v=wJ6zibwuGQU Please see my short film on FGM

[Xalimotologist]

The subtitles are so darn off. 

[utmalik]

its a good thing this man in the end is preaching about what is right or wrong/..someday these ppl will learn !!!

[07rachelh]

OWWIEEE!

[nacaaswanacas]

SUCH A STUPID MENTALITY FGM IS ...I am somali and I am ashamed

[Nogeria]

Satan, bastards! You shall burn in hell!

[Smiddlestix101]

So...pretty much...you can't get married in that country unless you get that terrible thing done to you? WTF kind of tradition is that!?!?!

[MySnaz]

This is heartbreaking!! It seems as though the mothers are placing money and popularity above the well being of their daughters. These people must be educated, and this must stop!!!

[Azadari4Evaa]

so because of what other people do and say, and for money they would mutilate their child?

[Azadari4Evaa]

so because of what other people do and say, and for money they would mutilate their child?

[CSUTAMTAM]

THESE PEOPLE AND THE MOTHERS DISGUST ME

THEY ARE ALL GUILTY OF BEING ATTEMPTED CHILD MURDERS

ALSO THEY ARE GUILTY OF CAUSING WOMEN AND GIRLS

TRAUMA OVER THEIR BODY FOREVER

DONT LET THESE NASTY CHILD MOLESTER MURDERS TRAUMA

ABUSERS INTO YOUR COUNTRIES TO TEACH THIS TO OTHERS OMG

[sue7777777ful]

These people dont know love, and the men are f... stupid! i'd rather walk around with my nice well formed body and stay alone than get a fool for a husband!!

[sue7777777ful]

this is so awful for the poor little children who have no choice in the matter! so what happens at the honeymoon when they sew up everywhere! does the man come with a scissors too to cut the stitches??? THE MEN ARE A FOOL. after the big night the woman is nolonger a virgin, what will you do now, IDIOT!!! these women are only being valued like a object not a person with thoughts and feelings! And parents, money for your childs torture. how nice!

[Mandinko23]

the guy was right about how islam prohibited fgm. like seriously women have their period monthly so if you sew that up, how can the blood flow out, it will backflow or coagulate which can block the vein and cause infections and many other complications.

[Nogeria]

Just cruel, for they know what they are doing! A break from tradition, the one to the next can not. There will be many many years, these people need to understand what they are doing there! Thank God there are brave people there trying to make the information!

[ItsTruth2]

Stupid men of this culture who make it a bad thing to be as God has made us. This girl should leave that place and find her a NORMAL husband!!! Its about money? Fuck their money I would never disfigure and disrepect my child all because they talk about you...Stupid people

[ItsTruth2]

Stupid men of this culture who make it a bad thing to be as God has made us. This girl should leave that place and find her a NORMAL husband!!!

[kittenfetus666]

I don't think they know what virgins are, the way they talk about it.

[1sputnic]

its ok to cut boys but bad to cut girls? lmao retards!

[maybetuesday1790]

@1sputnic there are forums for male circumcision. this is not one of them. go to your own forum. 

[kittenfetus666]

@1sputnic Male circumcision is looked down on as well. I do think there is a huge difference, though. With males, you're just removing a foreskin, and they have no complications later in life due to that. With women you're removing the clitoris, the labia, and some cultures remove the outer vaginal lips or sew them shut. It's a lot more extreme and painful, and useless.

[mnvro7989]

only 1 guys of the community speaks against FGM. So sad.

[Uh8rz4311]

Wtf is this??...

Ah those people all care about is wht other ppl think, gifts and money.

smh...

idiots.

Smh

[icefadova]

when their women start to smell because of some terrible infection they will abandon them....stupid youngsters them. but bless for haji mohammed hussein. he is supposed to guide his village.

[kkookkoo16]

that shit makes me fuckin aggravated. what if men had ro start cuttin their dicks of then i bet they wouldnt talk no bullshit like dat no mo stupid motherfuckers

[copenhagen11201]

all this is because of the pharaoh.. if it wasnt for him women in africa wudn be going thru dis

[danorganic]

i cannot bear those foolish villages. How can they let their own daughter cut by others? And looking for a return of money or some sick "congrats"?totally shit evil works!

[levi04680]

i cant believe one of the women in the video not only had her daughter circumsised but she was talking about trading her for camels or money thats messed up

[teepeechiefbrave]

Did you know that Quran plagarized the wrong theory of ancient Greek scientists who believed that semen originates from the back bone? Thousands and thousands of Muslims leave Islam every month because of their research findings. They are growing very fast in numbers, thanks to the internet. Welcome to the new world order. Hello??

[pukowlumo]

@teepeechiefbrave

you are retard and check again with the new scientific finding that is corraberable by quran

[IbnNero]

cut men as a norm encourage this on girls....

its all about religion

[o0portal0o]

I just want to hug those poor little girls!

[valicirinalaura]

they have to talk to those man about this!!!not only with woman because they can't do much...MEN must know this!

[ELSOL102]

"The major differences between the circumcision is that male circumcision is a modification, while female excision is castration."

[ELSOL102]

This is horrible. So cut her, sew her up, husband cuts her open on the wedding night, she never enjoys sex never has an orgasm and the man only has to please himself. This is disgusting. That girl should leave that village and go out into the world and live her life intact. Then she might get married!

[drealgrin]

All genital mutilation must end, Nobody has the right to circumcise any infant, be it male or female.

[thelipstickfemme]

This is male patriarchy and women have very very very little rights. This practice is geared for men and about men subjecting women. This is an institutional, cultural identity, and social construct. It is very hard to undo this unless one offers socially empowering alternatives.

[Reghedable]

Patriarchy follows most militaristic peoples. Where there is a lack of resources, there is competition. Where there is competition, there is militarism, where there is militarism, there is, you guessed it, patriarchy!

[Kandeeflossx]

oh my god i feel like crying

[soulsistasolja]

THIS TRANSLATION IS SO off!!!!

[kokolilia]

YES thank you, community elder!

he saved so many little girls...

I can't even imagine having to go through that

And to everyone, it isn't the mothers faults

For their daughters to live comfortable lives of wealth and status they must be circumsiced, because it is a man's world and that is the man's preference there.

ITS THE MEN who should stop, and accept womens bodies for what they are, not bleeding gaping holes!!!!

[ANT303CLETUS]

Simply Unbelievable.

[me0000ww]

This is not a religion thing it has become more of a cultural issue. The hajj at the end stated it should be stopped because of all the problems it brings. Ignorance is very sad the girl at the beginning was wishing to be circumcised as the little girls who are only 6 have to go through this horrible experience. We have to educate our people and stop this ignorant practice.

[piscesariescusp121]

these women talk about how heart breaking it is to watch their daughters get circumsized, but they're not doing shit to stop it. they go along with the program like a bunch of fucking morans.

women, take a stand and do something!!

[marxthesmurf]

Yeah, I say major Kudos to the mother of the first woman who did not have her daughter circumcised. I know it's their culture, but the first girl just seemed so willfully ignorant, saying she will have it done to her daughter if she ever has one. I just am in amazement, because perhaps I'm missing something, but what is stopping her from having it done now, as an adult? It seems she unwilling to voluntarily undergo the procedure as an adult, but would subject a child to it by force.

[kokolilia]

There are much more complications as an adult. The skin does not heal as well, the pain is much more intense, and the skin loses its elasticity.

[drealgrin]

How amazing this description also seems to fit Male Genital Mutilation as well, also known as Male Circumcision.

[woofer0doofer]

@piscesariescusp121 But. . .but. . .a FREE camel!!

[markee871]

@piscesariescusp121 These women dont stop it because they believe what they are doing is best! I dont think these mothers are evil! just like in the west, a mother taking her child to school believes its best for her future! these women believe this practice is best for their future! an unmarried woman is an embarrassment, your chances of marriage are HUGE if you have been through this practice. The mothers are weak against a society. They think its for the "Greater Good!

[piscesariescusp121]

@markee871

NO! taking a child to school is diff. from mutulating a child's vagina...two diff. things we're dealing with. can't compare a good thing with evil. I don't think the mothers are evil, they're just stupid and brainwashed. sounds like you enjoy the idea of women suffering and you're secretly reveling over it. that's why you make excuses about these women "believing its the best thing" Fuck that! there's nothing good coming from that.

[markee871]

@piscesariescusp121 I NEVER SAID IT WAS THE SAME YOU DISGUSTING BASTARD! I SAID TH MOTHERS OF THESE GIRLS BELIEVE THEY ARE DOING IT FOR THE GREATER GOOD! THE MOTEHRS BELIEVE THAT THIS WILL GAURANTEE A HUSBAND FOR HER DAUGHTER! ARE YOU THAT FUCKEN SLOW? DONT MESS UP MY WORDS! YOU EVEN SAID IT YOURSELF, THERYE BRAINWASHED! BRAINWASHED TO BELIEVE THAT A GIRL WHO HASNT WENT THROUGH IT WONT MARRY. TRUST ME, I KNOW ALOT OF THIS PRACTICE AND THE REASONS BEHIND IT!

[piscesariescusp121]

@markee871

Im not messing with your words, you big dummy! you're the one comparing two TOTALLY DIFFERENT THINGS. that's stupid. It is WRONG WRONG WRONG to practice this inhumane shit. don't act like its okay just b/c its a different culture and that the women are doing whats best. little girls are DYING! if you don't want people "messing with your words"choose them wisely before you sound stupid.......exceedingly stupid.

[markee871]

@piscesariescusp121 Big dummy? woow, how old are you? 6? who the hll calls people big dummies! you dont understand anything about GGM,youve already established that a long time ago. Im not comparing 2 different things you dumb bitch! havent you seen the show taboo? whats acceptable in one culture,maybe taboo in another culture! I NEVER SAID IT WAS RIGHT YOU IDIOT! but you can talk all you want! they think its best fotr their daughters! thats THEIR thinking you idiot!

[markee871]

@piscesariescusp121 I am a professional on this topic of FGM! Ive done research,interviews,read books, I know things that you would never know! you just watch a 5 minute video and act like you know it all! YOUR COMMENTS NEED TO BE DELETED! its bullshit how you sit here and twist people's words! only idiots do that! you kknow damn well I wasnt implying that! you have no argument so youre irrational dumbass twists my words! I cant stand stupid shit like that! dont fuck with my words u idiot bitch

[piscesariescusp121]

@markee871

you wrote me four times back to back and you call yourself a professional. grow up and quit writing me with all your stupid angry outbursts and name calling...(by the way, real mature for a professional) Im done with you. fuck off and get a life and stop harrassing me.

[markee871]

@piscesariescusp121 Yea and I wrote 4 comments because I cant express my thoughts in the limited space! go look up the meaning of harassment you ignorant bitch! this is youtube! when you make ignorance comments,dont get shocked when someone hits you with the truth! you talk about angry outburts and ended your comment with "fuck off" ahahah you burst blood vessels because you dont have shit to say! and I wrote articles and have been involved in debates with this,won all of them! youre a nobody

[MIDJOBZ]

these people have no idea! religion does not tell you to cut your genitals off! their are there for a reason!

[intactivist1]

Excellent video. Heartbreaking hearing the little girls relating their stories, Revealing of how culture and religion have such a hold on people that they will sexually mutilate their own children in the name of an imaginary higher power.

[Mandinko23]

@intactivist1 just to make something clear islam only spoke about male circumcision and not female, but i once heard that it was said by the Prophet SAWS that if female r to be mutilated only a small portion of their clitoris cause if they took the whole thing they being sexually aroused would be hard.

[89990000]

@intactivist1

Actually, it's not religion that created FGM. It's the people. They mix up culture and religion. Females don't need to get circumcised. What a shame for the people who FGM'd them. Stop it now. I live in the U.S., and I consider Sharia Law is inappropriate.

Mariana Erwin

[mdselvam]

@89990000 muhamad nabi created this so it is islamic .  cutting clitoris reduces lubrication. muhamad nabi who invented fgm used olive oil to lubricate

[89990000]

@intactivist1

Plus, in all religions, it is banned. It's taboo. Plus, there are also scientific reasons why not to do this. Remember, male circumcision is for hygienic purposes, but this is one example of castration of women.
