Virginia offers one-stop shopping for all of your genital mutilating needs, at a mosque already famed for having housed two of the September 11 hijackers. It’s never too soon to take your ten-year-old down to the leading imam at Dar al-Hijrah Islamic Center in Falls Church, where he’ll put you in touch with people who will cure her of hyper-sexuality as easily as one-two-three. (Footage of the imam’s fgm talk is embedded in the link to Daily Mail.)
Various folks at the mosque are shocked – shocked – that talk of forcible little-girl-clitoris-slashing is going on at Dar al-Hijrah — from the leading imam, no less — and they promise they’re going to do something about it pronto. Meanwhile, what a blessing for neighbors of that mosque when they decide it’s time to do something about the nymphomaniacs in their houses – make a beeline for Dar al-Hijrah. As this Daily Beach columnist writes: ‘AND NOW, FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION COMES TO AMERICA’.

And remember the global rallying cry of FGM:
TWO HUNDRED MILLION TEN-YEAR-OLDS CAN’T BE WRONG!

“Imam Elsayed should be charged by Virginian prosecutors for inciting criminal conduct,” says [Senior Director of the AHA Foundation] Amanda Parker…. “Americans must wake up to the scale of this problem. The Centers for Disease Control estimate that 513,000 girls are at risk of FGM in the United States, more than 30,000 of whom live in Virginia, making it seventh in the nation in terms of numbers of women and girls at risk of or who have undergone FGM.”

Most activists agree that ultimately, the message against FGM has to come from within the community to truly take root. “If we are to come to total eradication, it has to come from the community, it cannot come from outside, [says one activist].”
So kudos to one of America’s highest-profile mosques for not only saying and doing nothing about FGM, but for featuring a lead imam who promotes it.

“Most activists agree that ultimately, the message against FGM has to come from within the community to truly take root.”
This basically asserts that an individual has no rights whatsover other than what his ‘community’ chooses to grant him/her, however ‘community’ may be defined.
We determined in the 1860s that a geographically-defined ‘community’, ie a state, did not have unlimited authority to trespass against the rights of those within that set of individuals. Why should a religiously-defined ‘community’ be granted that right?
The laws against FGM need to be rigorously enforced and if necessary strengthened, and it should be made very clear to prospective immigrants that this behavior will not be tolerated…if you don’t like it, don’t come.
Ditto for ‘honor killings’ and maimings and for death threats for ‘blasphemy’.
