Muslim Men Have a Clitoral Orgasm

The first time [Shayma] Al-Hanooti returned to [her Virginia] mosque since her father’s funeral was to speak at a town-hall meeting at the height of the [mosque’s Female Genital Mutilation] scandal. It didn’t go well.

The crowd was mostly men, she said, and no recording devices were allowed. When it was Al-Hanooti’s turn to ask a question, she quoted [the mosque’s senior imam’s pro-FGM] remarks and asked how the mosque could continue under such leadership.

“The moment I quoted him, the community went crazy. It was just, like, this eruption,” Al-Hanooti recalled. “I was the only one they cut off, the only one that had a time limit, and suddenly security was in my face.”

    Somaliland has issued a fatwa, or religious edict, condemning FGM paving the way for legislation outlawing it. The practice, which involves the partial or total removal of the female genitalia, is almost universal in the self-declared republic of Somaliland, a breakaway region of Somalia.
