Norwegians shocked by genital mutilations

2007-06-27

The Department of Justice has called the Public Prosecutor, the Director of Police and the Oslo Police to an urgent meeting at short notice this week to discuss the ongoing practice of sexual mutilation of girls with immigrant background.

The meeting has been called after public broadcaster NRK TVNews aired shocking reports this weekend, showing that a large number of Norwegian-Somali girls have been sexually mutilated in their parents' homeland over the past three years.

In Norway, sexual mutilation of children has been a crime since January 1996, also if the operation is performed abroad. However, so far no one has been sentenced for such a crime.

Which means a whole lot of people have been actively looking the other way.

Funny how thousands of Norgie pediatricians and gynecologists haven't seen a single case in ten years ...

The aim of the urgent meeting this week is to find out if the police could be able to to do more in order to prevent parents from from sending their children abroad to be sexually mutilated, and prosecute those who do.

Opposition MPs have demanded that health personnel who discover cases where sexual mutilation has been carried out, will have an obligation to submit reports.

But they haven't seen any, aren't you paying attention?

Family Minister Karita Bekkemellem says the Government will soon submit a plan of action on how to prevent the practice.

Boy howdy there you go, a plan of action! Must have been talking to someone over at the World Health Organization.

School vacation has just started in Norway, and the authorities fear that some parents have already planned to have their daughters sexually mutilated while on vacation in their homeland.

"Hokay, sweetie, here's your ticket, Uncle Mahmoud will meet you at the gate in Karachi!"

Then there are the Norwegians who think it better not to make a fuss about it all:

The police is helpless in the fight against sexual mutilation of children, unless health personnel report cases discovered, says Chief Inspector Finn Abrahamsen of the Oslo Police. Abrahamsen asks school nurses to be more on the offensive, and report to the police when they become concerned.

None of the nurses have seen a case of FGM in ten years either. Nope, not a one, nope, nope ...

A health official said in an interview with NRK Monday that it might be best for the child to NOT report such encroachments. She said it would be very difficult for the child to see parents punished.

The 'health official' who said that should be drummed out of the profession.

Abrahamsen says that with such attitudes the fight against sexual mutilation becomes very difficult.

Bad enough the parents of these kids think it's okay; when the health officials roll over as well it's as good as over.

#14 anonymous2u,

What a imbecilic idea. Sterilise the parents and remove the child from their abuses, but too punish equally innocent children because of their sex is an abomination of an idea.

Good Lord! They can't take children away from parents who mutilate them?! What kind of heartless bastards do they have in their "health" service?

Any bets on whether home-schooling your kid would be grounds for removing them?

#8 I propose implementing the equivalent 'medical' procedure on the males of the same ethnic background. It would address multiple problems simultaneously: 1) growing unassimilated and unproductive Mooselimb population, 2) unequal treatment of the sexes, and 3) the rape epidemic.

#6 TW,
agreed.
But then when smallpox migrates to a country because of convenient wether patterns you don't waste time saying how shocked you are that people are getting sick. You simply pull up your sleeves and eradicate the plague.
If you don't eradicate a plague in time you will sooner or later wind up dead !
Hasta la vista.

#5 "People" are moving to Scandinavia because of the generous welfare payments and low odds of being persecuted for following Old Country cultural norms.

#4 Zenster,
right on the spot !
I agree with every single word.
welcome to the new reality in Norwegistan.
Once the Islamic RifRaf reaches a critical percentage of the population, the indigenous Norwegians won't even know what hit them.
I give them exactly one generation time to get their hold on reality or become extinct.
BTW taking into account the ingrained Lemming instincts of northerners, the prognosis is not on the bright side.
The saddest part of it all is that these are the decendents of the Vikings that were once fierce and adventurous peaple feared for their high spirits and courage in battle.

#3 If they're not worried about the huge increase in rape, why should this be a problem? Welcome to cultural relativism at its worst. People migrating to Scandinavia are doing so because it has better cultural values, otherwise they would not be leaving their place of origin. That the Scandinavians cannot admit to themselves how their's is a better society represents a form of cultural suicide.

Into that gaping relativistic void even the most evil filth can step in and commandeer the system. This is happening throughout Europe and it exemplifies a culmination of the "who are we to judge?" mentality. "Judge not, lest ye be judged" is utter bullshit. Every single day, you live or die by your personal judgements. Whether crossing the street, eating food prepared by someone else or letting another person drive the vehicle you are riding in, poor judgement can cost you your life. Abdication of this vital decision-making process surrenders control over your destiny and from that point on you are a leaf in the wind.

An entire generation no longer takes headings from its moral compass. In search of liberation, these listless individuals have voluntarily cut loose from their own societal moorings. Adrift in a flurry of putatively identical cultural frames, they refuse to take their own bearings. Islam is a gale that will scour such philosophical detritus from the empty corridors of Europe's moral vacuum.

Why hasn't NRK been indicted for stirring up racial hatred? And who was the neo-Nazi at NRK who approved this report in the first place?
