HUNDREDS MUTILATED
Some 180 words into an ABC piece on female genital mutilation in Australia, this paragraph appears:
Melbourne’s Royal Women’s Hospital says it is seeing between 600 and 700 women each year who have experienced it in some form.
And that’s just in Melbourne. What about Sydney? Adelaide? Perth? What the hell is going on here? The hospital’s Zeinab Mohamud tries to explain:
“Some people when they hear they say, ‘how can that happen?’ It’s when something is cultural and the people have been doing it for so long, it’s not easy to either eliminate it or to say, ‘you have got a bad culture’,” she said.
You have got a bad culture!
It’s not that difficult to say. Dr Ted Weaver, of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, is similarly delicate:
Dr Ted Weaver agrees and he says ordering people against the practice would be inappropriate.
No. Weaver’s response is inappropriate. Recall the words of Kevin Rudd from last September:
“Silence is tantamount to tacit approval,” he said …
“We cannot afford to be silent … We have a responsibility to speak up and say ‘I swear never to commit violence against a woman’.
“I swear never to excuse violence against women and I swear never to remain silent about violence against women, and this is my solemn oath as a man, that is the oath to which all men of Australia should adhere to and swear.”
Further from Weaver:
“If we try and dictate and pontificate about this and not provide culturally appropriate care, we’ll further disenfranchise those women,” he said.
Forget disenfranchised. They’re disfigured.

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?

“…The centuries-old custom has been outlawed in Australia since the 1990s.
But that has not stopped it happening here, according to Dr Ted Weaver from the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists…”
SACK HIM!!!!!
IF IT IS ILLEGAL, IT IS ILLEGAL!!!!!
WHICH PART OF THE WORD DOESN’T HE UNDERSTAND?
We have no business telling Muslims how to practice their religion. However, we do have the right to tell them to practice it somewhere else. In fact we must insist that they practice it elsewhere.
“If we try and dictate and pontificate about this and not provide culturally appropriate care, we’ll further disenfranchise those women,” he said.
But [we] will dictate and pontificate about smoking and obesity, and stuff the PC “culturally appropriate care” and “disenfranchisement”:
* ADELAIDE’S Queen Elizabeth Hospital is refusing to perform certain major surgery on anyone who is obese or a smoker.
* All current patients will be told to return to their GP to devise a weight-loss strategy or a quit plan if they do not meet the new requirements.
* Melbourne’s Alfred Hospital previously has refused to perform lung surgery on smokers but the Australian Medical Association yesterday was unaware of any other hospitals with similar criteria.
Cigarettes: bad! Obesity: evil! Islam: good!
How about a Quit Line for muslims – 1800 NO2MO ?
“Dr Ted Weaver agrees and he says ordering people against the practice would be inappropriate.”
He’s quite right. It is also inappropriate to criticise Islam’s mandate to kill infidels, strike terror into them, chop off their limbs etc. It’s also very inappropriate to state that Islam doesn’t share the Judeo-Christian values on which our democracy is based and we therefore shouldn’t be engaged in interfaith with them.
Truth is very inappropriate in these politically correct times.
So let’s keep on lying and then everything will turn out just fine.
