FGM DownUnder: Girls’ hidden agony
by sheikyermami on July 21, 2009
AFRICAN immigrant girls are increasingly being forced by their families to have barbaric female genital mutilation, Immigration Minister Chris Evans has been warned.

The minister has been told the painful ritual is almost certainly being practised here, and some girls may have been flown to Africa for the disfiguring procedure.
Senator Evans received briefings “to respond to concerns that (mutilation) is increasingly being practised on permanent residents/Australian citizens”.
But community liaison officers said it was difficult to know how widespread it was.
Concerns have also been raised with the minister over growing levels of domestic violence in African communities, particularly against Sudanese women.
“One possible explanation for this is that women no longer have the protection of their extended families as they would have in their home countries,” he was told.
AN error in the controversial citizenship test has wrongly denied 21 people the right to become Australian.
The error caused dozens of applicants to fail, but some resat the test and passed.
The faulty question was in the pool of compulsory questions, of which four are asked in each test.
Applicants were asked: “Who has the right to seek employment in the defence force and the police force in Australia?”
The answer to the question — that Australian residents could apply for both, pending citizenship, was wrong. In fact, the requirements of police forces vary in each state.
The error went undetected from the introduction of the test in September 2007 until July last year.
An Immigration Department spokesman said legal advice obtained from the Attorney-General’s office was to let the results stand.
Immigration Minister Chris Evans said: “A new and more relevant test will be in place within the coming months.”

This is a satirical website. None of what you read here has anything to do with Islam, because Islam is a Religion of Peace. Everybody knows that good Muslims never do the things they do, (because Allah does it for them, Quran 8:12) and we know that only our misperceptions, ignorance and stereotyping of Islam makes Muslims chop off heads, kill and rape women and children, bomb subways, buses, nightclubs and fly jets into buildings. If it wasn't for the media and da Jooozzz, we wouldn't even know its happening.
We welcome open, honest, thoughtful, and vigorous discussion in the comments threads, so do yourself a favour and don't accuse us of being 'haters' because we are loving, tolerant people. Don't curse us, don't threaten us with death or hellfire, and don't accuse us of being "just like the terrorists" because we don't do to Muslims what they do to us or to themselves. Yes, we know that only idiots oppose Islam and sensible people submit, but you should know that we are ignorant bigots, hypocrites and Islamophobes, and we prefer to remain that way...
But since you are forcing yourselves (and your abhorrent belief-system on us) we will defend ourselves, because we must. Avoid tu quoque and ad hominem attacks. Don't bother with circular reasoning either, we been there, done it. If you annoy us, you will be banned and your posts summarily deleted.
Try to add to the discussion, don't try to sell snake oil, don't try to cover us with Islamic shrouds of kitman and taqiyya, don't bother with da'awa, (we've heard it before) don't spam us with long pieces of cut & paste, write in English, try to tell the truth,
(we know that's hard for you because you are all pathological liars) but the truth will set you free, try it!
One more thing: don't think you can post here under multiple monikers. You will quickly be disappeared! The same goes for
trufers and conspiracy kooks: you get one chance, one time. Blow it out of your ass if you must; put your stupidity on display.
But you won't be back, trust me on that.
Take a deep breath before you post, try to make some sense, do not just vent, do not make a fool of yourself and if you prove us wrong you can earn 10 Islamic dollars for your piggy bank. Deal?

Oh, please – there’s always an excuse
Its a filthy barbaric practice by a filthy barbaric religion which should have never been allowed to gain a foothold in this country.
“‘ One possible explanation for this is that women no longer have the protection of their extended families as they would have in their home countries,” he was told.”
Feel free then to return to your country of origin.
This issue can never receive enough publicity.
THis decision of a barbaric ritual should be left up to the disposal of the child at the appropriate age…It’s dangerous nd could kill and affected 2 many young girls
