I took down the NBC link quoting a UN source on an order from ISIS - TopicsExpress



          

I took down the NBC link quoting a UN source on an order from ISIS to enforce female genital mutilation (cutting off the clitoris), a practice that is not uncommon in some Arabic and African cultures--but the report is being disputed in other places. So Im not going to promulgate it as a fact until theres more evidence. This particular jihadist group is capable of stoning women to death for misdeeds, and mass murder, so it is not that wild an allegation, this new accusation. But its more a cultural/tribal practice than Muslim. Sometimes it can seem to be Muslim because *some* Sharia-based Muslims believe in keeping women from temptation and may believe thats another way to do it. But it seems to be mostly about traditional tribal culture in some parts of the world, rather than religion per se. So well see...
