In this new video, I discuss statements of Ivan Balhatchet, the British National Police Chiefs’ Council’s lead on honour violence, that female genital mutilation are too “nuanced” to prosecute. Balhatchet likewise excused official inaction on honor violence.
Somaliland: Muslim clerics issue fatwa making female genital mutilation mandatory
They banned two types of FGM, but made the third mandatory. Why did the Muslim clerics issue this fatwa? Don’t they know what every non-Muslim journalist in the West knows, that FGM is cultural and has nothing to do with Islam? Here it is again, for those who are not paying attention: FGM is mandated […]
Islamic Central Council of Switzerland justifies female genital mutilation
There are growing movements in the West that are calling for female genital mutilation to be eradicated. While that is good, they are doomed to failure. Why? Because they refuse to address the Islamic justifications of the practice, and even deny that they exist. FGM is mandated in Islamic law: “Circumcision is obligatory (for every […]
France: 30% of Muslim girls in Paris suburbs face genital mutilation threat
There are growing movements in the West that are calling for female genital mutilation to be eradicated. While that is good, they are doomed to failure. Why? Because they refuse to address the Islamic justifications of the practice, and even deny that they exist. FGM is mandated in Islamic law: “Circumcision is obligatory (for every […]
Italy: Up to 80,000 women have been subjected to genital mutilation
These aren’t 80,000 Italian women. These are 80,000 Muslim migrants in Italy. “It said it was ever more important to inform migrant communities of the health risks of FGM.” Informing Muslim migrants of the health risks of FGM is not going to eradicate the practice. Why not? Because it is mandated in Islamic law: “Circumcision […]
UK: After calling for help to fight FGM, Surrey Police warns it will report “Islamophobic abuse” to intel teams
In the UK, “there has yet to be a single conviction for FGM despite tens of thousands of recorded cases since it was criminalised in 1985.” The reason for that is abundantly clear: Muslims are the primary practitioners of female genital mutilation, and the UK police are afraid of appearing “Islamophobic,” just as in Rotherham, […]
India: 75% of women in Shi’ite Muslim Dawoodi Bohra sect have undergone genital mutilation
The doctors in Michigan who have been charged with performing FGM are members of the Dawoodi Bohra sect. Before their arrests, the establishment media routinely used to characterize female genital mutilation as an East African cultural practice. Now we see attempts to portray it as being practiced exclusively by members of the Dawoodi Bohra sect. […]
Robert Spencer at the Geller Report: UK Cop Says FGM Too “Nuanced” to Prosecute
My latest over at the Geller Report: Recently Ivan Balhatchet, the British National Police Chiefs’ Council’s lead on honour violence, was asked by a former police officer why there had not yet been a single conviction for female genital mutilation (FGM) in the entire United Kingdom, despite there having been tens of thousands of cases […]
UK: Police top dog excuses lack of FGM convictions by saying “there are many nuances to this crime”
No, Balhatchet, there is only one “nuance,” and you and I and Theresa May and all of Britain knows what that one nuance is: the people who practice female genital mutilation are Muslims, and you don’t want to offend them, and so you don’t prosecute FGM cases. It really isn’t any more “nuanced” than that, […]
500,000 women and girls in US are victims of female genital mutilation or at risk of being subjected to it
Why so many? Because of the rapidly rising Muslim population in the U.S. FGM is sanctioned by Islamic law: “Circumcision is obligatory (for every male and female) (by cutting off the piece of skin on the glans of the penis of the male, but circumcision of the female is by cutting out the bazr ‘clitoris’ […]
