Al-Misri on Circumcision

I also mentioned that the original Arabic is more stringent than the English version, in that it specifies excising the entire clitoris rather than just the prepuce. I find further backing for this assertion in the Australian Islamist Monitor, which reports:

Reliance of the Traveller, a classical manual of Islamic sacred law in Arabic with facing English text, commentary and appendices edited and translated by Nuh Ha Mim Keller (1994) re ‘circumcision’ we find the Arabic actually says -

“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 clitoris (this is called HufaaD). “ (p59) (Shafi’I jurisprudence)

(Note the English version is falsely translated as ‘prepuce ‘ of the clitoris!!)

Why don’t we bring back eunuchs too? Don’t worry we will only ‘trim’ off the head of the penis; then no body will enjoy sex but we can still reproduce! Then we can all be a bunch of inhuman, non-sexual, emotionless religious fanatics.

Humanity should be embraced- All aspects of it!

“There are Muslims who will rape women and say that it was “part of their religion””

Muhammad and his companions raped women and made it part of their religion.

“there are Muslims who will condemn rape and say that it has nothing to do with their religion.”

Perhaps. But they are lying. Or they didn’t read the Koran and the hadith.

” We may follow the same religion, but our interpretations of it greatly vary.”

Islam is not to be interpreted, Islam is to be taken literally. Ask your imam.

” the terrorists claim that their violent suicide bombings is “martyrdom”-

They do indeed. Because of Qur’an (9:111) – “Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise): they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain…

“… it’s not surprising that the people responsible for FGM will attribute it to their religion. It’s just as the terrorists do: they claim that their violent suicide bombings is “martyrdom”, when in fact suicide is specifically prohibited in Islam. So many people around the globe take Islam and manipulate it to justify their cruel deeds. The reason I pointed out that there are 1.57 billion Muslims around the world is to expose you to different Muslim perspectives. There are Muslims who will rape women and say that it was “part of their religion”, and simultaneously there are Muslims who will condemn rape and say that it has nothing to do with their religion. No Muslim is one and the same. We may follow the same religion, but our interpretations of it greatly vary.”

So Fareed Zakaria is more credible than me because he is the son of an imam, a slick taqiyya artist who has degrees from Yale and Harvard?

And you are offended by the claims on this blog? Well, you have no right not to be offended. For the most part we report what we hear from Muslims, and they tell us that Islam is not to be “interpreted” but taken straight up, undiluted, because Allah has already decided all matters for them.

Let me tell you that we are offended by the behavior and the demands of muslims, by their claims of entitlement, by their stupidity, their arrogance and their mindless fanaticism.

You claim:

“My religion is my first priority, spiritually and practically, and so everything I do is justified by Islam.”

Well, that already proves that you are a submitter, one that doesn’t question the ugliness of your belief system. Or are you open to reason?

Who are you? Who are you to think you can interpret Islam? Are you a scholar? Are you an imam, a mufti or a mullah? What are your degrees? What are your credentials?

I don’t give a hoot on whether you cover up or not, you live in America. The last time I checked America was not a muslim country. Try it in Saudi Arabia or in Afghanistan if you want to impress me.

In Islam, you are not equal to men, not in Islam. Muhammad said “women are deficient” and their witness is only half of a man.

“”I have not seen any one of deficient intellect and deen who is more destructive to the intelligence of a cautious man than you women.”

women are not allowed to rule over men/fatwa

I am unimpressed by Queen Rania, Bhutto or any other of these representatives of powerful clans or tribes. What has queen Rania done to stop honor killings? Nada, zilch, niente, nothing.

There is much more, here. I suggest you educate yourself.

“As a woman, as an Arab, as a Muslim, I would like to state very clearly that this is a heinous and totally unacceptable practice”

Fine. That may be your opinion, but since you live in the US your opinion doesn’t go very far, does it? Do you know anybody who is influenced by your opinion?

Why don’t you write to sheik Qaradawi, who is an eminent scholar on Islam with far reaching influence in the Muslim world and educate him on how to ‘interpret’ Islam properly?
