Labour forced to apologise on Female Genital Mutilation Issue...

Female genital mutilation is yesterday’s problem, says councillor - UK - News - London Evening Standard

What planet Is he on ? How dare he even suggest that this Is no longer happening In Britain. or Is he just trying to cover It up ???

A Home Office minister has called for the law on female genital mutilation to be “properly enforced” and warned that the Government is “not happy” that no charges have ever been brought over the crime.

Lord Taylor of Holbeach told Parliament that ministers were “absolutely committed” to preventing “this abhorrent form of abuse” as peers heard that as many as 30,000 girls in Britain are at risk of being cut.

The minister said the “secretive nature of the crime” and the reluctance of victims to contact police were partly to blame for the lack of charges over a practice that was made illegal more than 30 years ago.

He also called for a “hearts and minds” campaign to convince those in affected communities that the abuse had no medical or religious justification and “should stop”.

But he said a new action plan being drawn up by the Director of Public Prosecutions, Keir Starmer QC, could play a key role in bringing offenders to justice.

“The Government are not happy with a situation in which there have been no prosecutions,” the minister told the House of Lords.

“The law alone cannot eliminate this practice… but it needs to be properly enforced, of course.”

Don't you mean a labour councillor was forced to apologise? Makes it worse she was herself a victim.

Awkward one isn't it. if they make an issue of it then what about male circumcision - mutilation also carried out for religious reasons. Although in terms of the damage not exactly in the same league.

The UK has the highest levels of female genital mutilation in Europe. Around 66,000 women and girls there have had the procedure performed on them, and Britain would like to put a stop to it - both at home and abroad.

The video, produced for The Guardian in the UK, shows a young African girl shrieking and crying, "Mama, Mama!" as two women operate below her waist in a makeshift facility. A younger girl, presumably her sister, watches with a look of horror.

Female genital mutilation (FGM) is typically carried out on girls sometime between infancy and puberty. It is usually performed without anesthesia, using a knife, razor or scissors. The procedure is centuries old, and it renders girls and young women unable to experience sexual pleasure. It is traditionally conducted in - and therefore associated with - African countries, the Middle East and areas of Southeast Asia.

I myself am against any Interfering of the body without the consent of the person. It can be argued that circumcision Is for the benefit of health but what reviles me about FGM Is that the girls are often teenagers and are held down screaming, against their will.

That's the real sickener and probably the main reason it is done so the wives won't be tempted. You get the same misogyny in christianity and other middle eastern religions. I've always suspected religion was started by a bunch of pathetic losers that couldn't get girlfriends and were not charismatic enough to gain any followers so they create this myth to give themselves power over those they would otherwise have no influence over. It takes religion to get a parent to take a knife and cut bits off their children and justify beating them but you're not allowed to suggest the religious may be collectively insane even if you can make a good case.

circumcision of young boys is also abuse. There is one religious denomination, I cant remember which, that doesnt even use a blade. The priest (?) uses his teeth. By all means get circumcised, when you are able to make that decision yourself but mutilating children is abuse. Pure and simple

OK it's the daily mail:o

I'm sorry and this may be anti-religious but this is a really sick practice if not actually perverted. You have to wonder at the mentality of the priests that dreamt this one up.

The problem with Immigration and call me racist If you like, Is that we open ourselves up to a whole new world of cultural practices. Weather It's Muslim women In the NHS refusing to wash their hands or FGM. We are seeing crimes here that we just did not have to deal with 30 years ago. We have had cases of children being tortured under witchcraft beliefs, Honour killers because a young Muslim girl has dared glance at a white boy, FGM, and forced arranged marraiges Including Incest. Sharia law has now been exposed on National TV as a hotbed for covering up abuse to young Muslim women in this country.

If people want to come and live In the UK, then fine, but abide by our laws. Instead we have the loony left pandering to cultural pressure groups for fear of upsetting anyone or offending someone's culture. Halaal Butchers break all our slaughter regulations and Sharia Law favours the man, but this country has allowed them to thrive. We pussyfoot around these cultures rather than grasp the fact that these cultural practices are not law. They are beliefs not law and our governments and police need to remember that and act on It.

For eg.... do you have any idea of how many babies are In hospitals on high dependancy due to Inter breeding?

Actually it's not so much racism as objecting to the pandering of obscure religious and cultural beliefs that in our culture in this day and age are repugnant. For instance that women are inferior and the chattels of the males in their family and their only worthwhile function is as wife's and mothers is an attitude and belief we left behind some time ago although you can argue it is just within living memory and maybe not everybody has caught up yet.
