Is This The Stupidest Man On The Planet ?

[mikey4444]

This moron is making an argument FOR female genital mutilation !

If anybody asked me why I am an atheist, I only have to point them at this clip from the BBC News Website.

[Caribeing]

Horrible man and inhumane custom, all right for the men to put it about!

[tamborine]

only a man could come up with this rubbish. He's a dirty old man & needs bobbiting.

[flump1]

He could well be a contender Mikey, don't you just want to mutilate him ?

[naomi24]

No. There are plenty like him - and equally as stupid.

[wolf63]

Maybe someone should show how what life would be like without his gonads. Two bricks should do it.

The think that I really dislike about the female mutilation is that it is women doing it to the young girls. It is barbaric.

[tamborine]

and its NOT a christian custom

[Arti]

I don't think that this man is stupid, per se, just ignorant and socially programmed. Female genital 'circumcision' is vile, no two ways about it, but I don't think that a belief in God is the crux of the problem. It is, once again, man's misinterpretation of God's word or, many centuries ago, some disturbed man's misuse of religion for his own ends.

This was discussed earlier. How anbody can put together any sort of an excuse for this is beyond me.

If he had to go through the agonies I mentioned on the other thread about FGM, regarding the life threatening problems of childbirth for these girls, he might feel differently.

[naomi24]

//It is, once again, man's misinterpretation of God's word //

Actually it isn't misinterpretation of his God's word. His God specifically forbids altering 'his' creation. It's the word of this man's prophet, Mohammed. No interpretation necessary.

[RATTER15]

I couldnt even watch all of the video, my word what a vile man!!

I agree Mikey, you would think that sort of mutilation of the innocent should be enough to turn anybody atheist, Bloody sick Muslims again!

[RATTER15]

And the vile little cretin kept smiling nearly all the way through, I would take that smile off his face when I fed his testicles to the rats!

[DTCwordfan]

just google the subject and see the results as there are different forms of mutilation from clitorectomies to cutting off everything and letting the labia heal together to weld the whole area bar a large meatus for pee and monthlies.

All forms of this practice are horrendous.

How do I know about this - a friend of mine is a Dr in Anthropology, practices women's rights and issues as well as cross-cultural training for the likes of British Airways - and she is Iranian by origin, spared that ignominy as she was a Christian-Persian.

[chrisgel]

//Some 1,700 women and girls were treated by specialist FGM clinics but this masks a bigger problem says the NSPCC.//

I'd like to know why there haven't been at least 1,700 prosecutions for these crimes. These are ones we do know about,
Instead there have been just 3 (failed) prosecutions in the 27 years since this procedure was criminalised in the UK.

[LazyGun]

As you say mikey - seeing *rses like this offering such drivel as an excuse for barbarism is a powerful argument for atheism.

Within the context of the teachings of his own religion though, there are various hadiths that promote "female circumcision". and the koran does not forbid it - that seems all that is needed for the mullahs to declare it necessary.

God save us all from those who want to force gods word on all of us....

[ladybirder]

I think calling him the stupidest man on the planet is letting him off lightly. What he advocates is so gross, so unbelievably cruel, unbearable in fact. Stuff of nightmares.

[naomi24]

LG, actually the Koran forbids altering God's creation - so in effect it does forbid it - but many Muslims seem to ignore that bit, preferring instead to follow Mohammed's advice.

[chrisgel]

Naomi - Religionists interpreting their holy book to conform with their backwards view on women. Say it aint so.

[LazyGun]

@ Naomi - Ahh. Perhaps they feel it is because the koran does not explicitly forbid such practices then.

I have read a couple of apologist muslim sites, trying to make an argument for female circumcision, which are all without exception unmitigated drivel, and all seem to rely on these hadiths and a lack of an explicit "no" from within the Koran...

Then they whine that the term " Female Genital Mutilation" is only used by islamophobes.....

[naomi24]

I don’t think anyone need be an Islamophobe to find this barbaric practice utterly repugnant. The Koran doesn’t specifically forbid it – in fact it doesn’t mention circumcision at all – for men or for women. It does, however, specifically forbid altering God’s creation. Since all Muslim men are circumcised, the allegedly infallible Mohammed’s subsequent instructions were clearly an afterthought to his previous literary efforts.
