Second Egyptian girl dies during circumcision
2007-08-12
A 13-year-old Egyptian girl died during a circumcision operation, the second such case reported over the past two months, local media said Saturday.
Has it occurred to anyone that Muslims seem to be uncommonly fond of cutting things off?

Oh. It has.

As I was saying: Steal something? Off with a hand, maybe a foot, too. An infidel? Chop his/her/its head off. Arouse a bit of Pak male jealousy? Off with her nose!

But best, most Islamic of all, is "female cicumcision."

I passed the point of feeling sorry for the benighted Mohammedan sometime in late 2004 or early 2005, but if I had any sympathy left I'd expend it for this particularly Nilotic evil. Can you imagine the psychological toll of going through life knowing Mom has no pubic lips? That she didn't even enjoy conceiving you? And if she didn't enjoy conceiving you, no matter how nice she might act toward you, you'll always harbor the suspicion that she didn't enjoy raising you, either.

If she didn't enjoy raising you, she doesn't like you.

It just explains so much...
The doctor involved has been referred to the state prosecutor for investigation and his clinic in the rural Gharbiyah province has been closed down, state-owned al-Gomhoria daily reported. The earlier death of a 12-year-old girl during a circumcision operation in June sparked a public outcry and prompted the government to officially ban hospitals from performing the traditional procedure which is widespread throughout Egypt.

#5  And which religion decided it was a good idea to continue, #2?

More importantly, which didn't?

Any man who approves of this so-called "practice" is seriously inadequate. And likely to remain so.

What's Egyptian for "loser"?

#4  Dissatisfied Islamic women need to band together and "circumcise" a few thousand imams in a similar fashion. This evil would stop overnight.

#2  You can't completely blame the Moslems for this.

Prior to the Moslem conquest, female circumcision was practiced in Egypt.
