Today’s Fatwa: Female Genital Mutilation is ‘commendable’ (Allah knows best).
by sheikyermami on March 6, 2010
Look out for Muhammad worshippers who will pop up to tell us its a “cultural thing”- and that many other religions and African tribes do it too…. nothing to do with Islam etc etc….
What does Islam (Holy Quran, Shariah, Hadith) say , if at all, about the female circumcision or FGM – Female Genital Mutilation? Is it permissible or not permissible?
Assalaamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullaahi Wa Barakaatuhu
1. Circumcision for males is Waajib (compulsory) according to Imaam Abu
Hanifa. If circumcision will hinder a person from accepting Islam then
accepting Islam should be given preference over circumcision.
2. It is Mustahabb (commendable) for females to circumcise. It is narrated
in an authentic Hadith quoted from Abu Dawood Shareef that during the
Prophet (Sallallaahu ?layhi Wasallam)’s time there was a woman in Madinah
who used to perform circumsicion for women (Fathul Bari vol. 16 p. 353)
and Allah Ta’ala Knows Best

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?

Female Circumcision Prevents HIV/AIDS
Stallings et al. (2009) reported that, in Tanzanian women, the risk of HIV among women who had undergone Female Circumcision was roughly half that of women who had not; the association remained significant after adjusting for region, household wealth, age, lifetime partners, and union status.

Kanki et al. reported that, in Senegalese prostitutes, women who had undergone Female Circumcision had a significantly decreased risk of HIV-2 infection when compared to those who had not.

Terrific, Ameena!
Clit cutting as a cure for AIDS!
Priceless…
Ameena,
I suspect that you have misunderstood the statistics and thus made an extemely simplistic and incorrect assertion. I will check this out because what you claim makes no sense what so ever. Female circumcision cannot defeat the mechansims by which the AIDS virus is transferred from person to person, so if such a statistical weighting actually does exist then the reason lies elsewhere.
Come on please. Statements like this, saying that genital cutting is commendable and mandatory… is going to end this religion. I am happy there exists movements like muslims against circumcision. Genital cutting is nothing but cutting. And it happens because boys and girls can’t defend themselves. And Allah knows best, so don’t mess with animals and human’s bodies. It would make lots of sense to say that genital cutting is illegal, and keeping body integrity… commendable. Those who which to change their bodies may do so. And Ameena made a funny joke, I for one get it.
Human …..
Ameena was either being sarcastic or making an idiotic statement. Given her previous posts the second seems more likely. I would say that the daily behaviour of islamists suggests that shutting down islam is a good idea!!
