I understand adults wanting to do it, it being a choice to alter your outward appearance, we have many cosmetic surgeries already. But doing it to a child is absolutely reprehensible, I wont even go into the idea of trying to hold a community together by having a shared religious practice of that nature.
I had a discussion about this with a black friend of mine at the homeless shelter where I live and I said and stand by what I said, this whole thing, to me, seems like racism, its rare for me to say that's the cause but there it is. Its the dangerous "outsiders" doing FGM while its the good "insiders" doingthe MGM so MGM is good and FGM is bad, they are both exactly as harmful and bad. I pray we get over this one quick.
