#3 As noted by a-5089, this story appeared in the Daily Mail a couple of weeks back. There are 32 "comments" posted following the story itself. All 32 comments were extremely critical - indeed, highly outraged - that this barbaric practice is rampant in the UK in this day and age. I tried to weigh in with my two cents but my comment was never accepted for posting. Not because what I said was offensive, but rather because comments were entirely cut off after the original 32.
I wonder what play the issue of FGM would get in the MSM if the "cultural practice" were to be confined to slicing off say, the nose or ears of muslim females? Would the "oppressive white UK culture" have the guts to rise up against the practice and to put a stop to it? In present day UK I regret to say the answer is not entirely clear. There is evidence to suggest FGM is happening here in the USA and we do nothing as far as I can tell. |
