A British Muslim imam has been filmed advocating female genital mutilation. Mohammed Abdul, the imam of a mosque in Bristol, was caught on camera urging a follower to take women and girls abroad so they can be circumcised legally.The practise was banned by law in 2003, and it is illegal to assist or encourage anyone to carry out the barbaric procedure overseas.
An undercover reporter who posed as a Muslim seeking advice was told during a meeting with Mohammed Abdul at his mosque, "In this country, it is not possible, we cannot do that. (For) any other Muslim who likes to practise the way of Prophet Muhammad, the best way is to go to other countries.
"Some families, they go to Africa or Arab countries. In this country you have to fight for your religion, your cultures, They (the British) don't like your Muslim cultures."
