#4 Offcially FGM was non-existent in Arabia. Officially because there is ayt least one haddith in which Muhammad praises a woman whose job is mutilator. But FGM is common in Yeamn and and that is official. Now I don't know how close are Arabs and Yemenites. Amercicans are very different from Mexicans and to a lesser degree from Canadians. |

#3 Probably unheard of in most of the Islamic world before the wonders of Satellite Television and Wahabbist funding. |

#1 We're told this is "cultural" and not "religious", but it seems to spread with a certain religion. |
