Female circumcision a problem in the UK <-- not just the UK I'm afraid..

What the hell- Do people still do this? Whyyyyy?

I've never heard of it in the UK.

Alright...

This is quite clearly a cultural practice.

Which then brings into question what real right does one country have to have problems with another countries culture.

I know i know, i haven't actually had my genitals 'mutilated' but my genitals have indeed been surgically altered in most probably was a very painful experience at birth.

This wasn't my choice but it is something that i have to live with.

So for me it all comes down to the age and safety of such an operation carrying place.

as to whether it is just or not is really a matter of perspective and the majority of us who have a westernised thought process tends to condone what we deem as babaric practices however our views 'potentially' aren't the right ones, only the majority in this forum.

YOu have to understand that those who practice things like this aren't from areas which perhaps abide to national laws and rural laws, superstitions and tradition is what rules.

meh, i dunno

The thing is these circumcisions are preformed against peoples will.

 

[union_jak]

It's illegal in the UK. Even if it's part of another culture's practice and way of life, they can't do it in the UK.

Well it pretty much seems like all circumcisions are against peoples will. But female circucisions really seems to serve no point where its still up for debate about male circumcision.

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

All right...if you're a backward African savage, I understand, but:

It is practiced by Muslims and Christians alike

So I don't get how Christians will say that you can't get tattoos because we're created in God's image and our body is a temple to the Lord that we shouldn't desecrate....and then they'll chop off pieces, of the Lord's glorious creation.

Pure Evil
Pure STUPID


BUT REMEMBER!
WE NEED TO RESPECT THE BELIEFS OF OTHERS EVEN IF WE DISAGREE WITH THEM.
So, I trust C. Lee totaly respects the belief that this practice is important and good.
