POPSDenmark to Ban Mutilation of Male Child Penis The usual whining victimhood cry anti-Semitism as if this intended ban was directed towards them alone. They conveniently forget that Muslims also practice this barbarity and there are far more Muslims in the EU. Even when they are not victims, they refuse to share their perception of victimhood with others. Interference with children's bodies in ANY circumstance must be banned in all cases. Sexual interference with children's bodies is just one small step onwards as is easily proven by the many REAL victims of these religious maniacs.

POPSTwo doctors in Saudi Arabia want to change cultural attitudes to female genital mutilation In Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia and Mali, for example, more than 80% of women have undergone FGM. Typically, the procedure is carried out by a Daya (an elderly female birth attendant) when a baby girl is a few days old, but it can be done at any time during childhood, adolescence, before marriage or during a first pregnancy. The scope of the operation – which is often carried out in non-sterile conditions using household implements – can vary considerably from removing the clitoris to cutting away all of the woman's external genitalia before stitching the wound back together leaving only a tiny hole for menstruation and urination." yes it still exists.

POPSFacist Feminism Seen with Sarah Palin, seen in their absolute silence on the misogyny of Islamofacism, seen in their silence on the cultural practice of female genital mutilation (female circumcision), and on and on. Feminism apparently means being a socialist slut to women like Jessica Valenti.

POPSHistory of female circumcision in the United States Their approach to clitoral surgery, at least as revealed in published medical works, was a cautious one that respected the importance of clitoral stimulation for healthy sexuality while simultaneously recognizing its role as cause and symptom in cases of insanity that were tied to masturbation.

POPSThe Strange Journey of Ayaan Hirsi Ali: From Devout Muslim to Outspoken "Feminist" Critic of Islam
The former "liberal" who becomes an outspoken right-winger has become an American political archetype. Ronald Reagan and David Horowiz are two prime examples of the breed. They use the rhetorical tool of claiming to be just as caring and compassionate as their previous political incarnation, but the left's irrationality and hatred of (you pick it) the West, America, Christianity, capitalism, etc. caused them to wake up one morning and see the light. And having transformed from lefty caterpillar into a right-leaning butterfly, they present themselves as qualified to comment on liberalism's moral and intellectual failures. related version of this turncoat persona : a "reformed" Muslim woman who favors crushing Islam under the boot of Western militarism. Once very devout in her Muslim beliefs, Ali has transformed into an outspoken critic who bases her calls for the destruction of Islam on feminist and human rights principles.

POPSFemale genital mu.tilation banned in Eritrea Too bad it is not enforced fully. It is one of the cultural traditions that I wish would just go away. It's is not fair to the poor girls that must endure this horrific procedure. Kudos to them for banning it. Hope it helps the girls/women.

POPSFemale circumcision: a problem in Britain The article says it is practiced by Christians and Muslims alike, coming from Africa and the Middle East. Odd, I've never heard of this until I heard of honor killings, which is particularly an Islamic tradition. Female circumcision was banned in 2003, but since then, no incidents of it have been prosecuted even though one midwife said she treats 400-500 cases of it.

POPSDoes Circumcision cut down on HIV?
This entire question is very controversial. Like all good Jewish boys, I was circumcised on the 8th day of my life. Most of my friends, Jewish or not were also circumcised, which is something I find interesting considering that HIV and the prevention of STDs was not really much of a question in the late 40's. It almost became a question of style. I remember some parents saying that they didn't want their sons to look "different" from the other boys. There was also the question of hygiene, but that seemed like more of an excuse to me, when I became old enough to think about it. Getting adult males in the U.S. especially, to willingly undergo this procedure is iffy at best. The recuperative pain is horrible from what I've been told by those few men I know who actually did this. It seems to me that it really is nothing more than mutilation of the male genitalia. We shrink at the thought of female circumcision and yet accept it for males. Something to think about.

POPSKadra - The Somalian girl which fight the conservative assholes.
Kadra Yusuf - The only Somalian girl in Norway with guts tougher than her opposite gender. I will say; One of top ten world wide. Muslims, especially YOU Somalian khat chewing losers; Shame on you. In our part of the World, democracy, equal status between man and woman and freedom of speech are absolutes. So, if there's a problem for you Somalian Muslims - Well, go home then and leave us in peace. How can you stay a place where you can't accept girls (in general) wearing skirts (or whatever they want to wear), without being called a hooker, being raped or beaten. Why can't she care for a kiss whenever she want, either it's her boyfriend or girlfriend? Kadra once told one of the Norwegian Ministers on purpose for getting the Norwegian politics getting more adequate to the real world. She said; Somalian guys are lacy and troublemakers. Allah, social benefits, kath (drug), trouble and suppressing their women are their only interests. And what have happen? Nothing.
