Circumcision Of Girls
The circumcising of girls is still a common procedure in a number of Arab countries such as Egypt, the Sudan, Yemen and some of the Gulf States. The importance given to virginity and an intact hymn in these societies is the reason why female circumcision still remains a wide spread practice. The reason for removing of a girls’ external genital organs is the minimization of sexual desire . This permits a female, who has reached the dangerous age of puberty and adolescence to protect her virginity.
Circumcision is most often performed on a female at the age of seven or eight (before the girl begins to get menstrual periods). Two women members of the family grasp the child’s thighs on either side and pull. A sharp razor in the hand of the daya cuts off the clitoris. They say it is like trussing a chicken.
Many times a physician was called upon to treat complications arising from this primitive operation, which very often jeopardized the life of young girls. The ignorant daya believed that effective circumcision necessitated a deep cut with the razor to ensure radical amputation of the clitoris, so that no part of the sexually sensitive organ would remain. Severe hemorrhage was therefor a common occurrence and sometimes led to loss of life.
The life long psychological shock of this cruel procedure left its imprint on the personality of the child and accompanied her into adolescence, youth and maturity. In recent years , however, educated families have begun to realize the harm that is done by the practice.
Nevertheless a majority of families still impose on young female children the barbaric and cruel operation of circumcision. Dr. Nawal El Saadawi research carried out a sample of 160 Egyptian girls and women showed 97.5% of uneducated families still insisted on maintaining the custom, but this percentage dropped to 66.2% among educated families.
Many people think that female circumcision only started with the advent of Islam. But as a matter of fact it was well known and wide spread in some areas of the world before the Islamic era, including the Arab peninsula. Mahomet the Prophet tried to oppose this custom since he considered it harmful to the sexual health of the woman. This means that the circumcision of girls was not originally an Islamic custom, and was not related to monotheistic religions, but was practised in societies with widely varying religious backgrounds, in countries of the East and the West, and among peoples who believed in Christianity, or in Islam, or were atheistic.
The source of information is from Nawal El Saadawi. She is an Egyptian physician and feminist writer whose word publicizing the injustices and brutalities to which Arab women are subject is well known throughout the world. The information from her book The Hidden Face of Eve: Women in the Arab World (1980) is now banned in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Libya.

This is not obligatory its something which is more of old tribalism custom, male circumcism is sunnah and there are many advantages such as hygine.
hhaha, it takes two seconds to wipe your penis off in the shower. You must be one lazy #$@% if you think hygine is a good reason to chop off the nerve endings around your dick.
lol to chop off part of the body rather than clean it
0020104486498 real human being never marry mutilated girl and no religion say crime like that at any name…
the islamic religion prefered the female circumcision, accept this or not this won’t change Islam
Heard about this last week from a young Pakistani man that was very well versed on anti-muslim western propaganda. He told me about female circumcision and how the west paints it as “cutting off the clitoris or the ‘sexual sensitive area’”. This isn’t the case in the MAJORITY of female circumcision in the Arab world where the circumcision is a HARMLESS procedure that is exactly like the male version we have to remove foreskin.
The only difference is they have less and it isn’t as easy as circumcising a male but it is not what this fucking liar is posting.
PROPAGANDA ALERT.
You people aren’t focusing on the issue at hand. It is not the same as male circumcision, in that males can still experience sexual pleasure without foreskin. Removing a females clitoris means that she feels no sensation whatsoever. This is a barbaric example of an attempt to control female sexuality, plain and simple.
patrick is right. i actually took a class which focused a substantial amount on female circumcision. when asked if they regret or could have opted out, most women living in the culture who have been circumcised said they wouldn’t. deaths and complications are not common and could be caused lack of willing doctors/funding due to the negative connotations. its a cultural thing, like piercings, corsets, foot binding etc. this topic needs some cultural relativism to be understood.
Female circumcision isnt wise @ all. They cut off the genitalia of the females while in the males, they just remove the foreskin. Why don’t they cut off the male genitals entirely?
The difference is male circumcision is done just a few days after birth so the baby doesnt remember sh*t. But when a female is at age 7 or 8 of course they’re gonna remember the pain and torture of it.
i am a muslim from a muslim religious family…and there is no such a shit as female circumcision in any part of islam or our holy book quraan…this shit is practiced by u ignorant uneducated fucks following ur shitty traditions, may god damn u all, ur not muslims, u do not represent us, why would any religion orders u to harm and disfigure ur daughters!!! for the sake of keeping virginity!!!! why not just teach them the morals and ethics insted of this brutal act?!! i have 3 sisters, and thank god they r educated, in medicine college and HEALTHY far from this crap….may god have mercy on your poor daoughters and DAMN u for ur evil satanic unjustified unresonable doings!.
It is most dangerous to do circumcision to babies. Some of them cant resist the horrific pain and dies. Also lot of underage boys leave their penises on docs table. Clit is only for pleasure, but foreskin have a lot of functions. Use the brain in 21st century and educate yourself. Also, most important part of males foreskin have 20.000 nerve endings and clit just 8.000. Smegma is natural lubricant and may be dangerous if is not washed about one or two decades. After circumcision you must pay for lubricant oils. This natural lubrication is good if the woman is not wet enough. Also, prepuce have antibacterial and antiviral system so Europe have less HIV reports than Africa and USA. Also prepuce have lot of receptors that controls the temperature and wet of woman and if is she about to finish, then those receptors send to males brain information for stopping the action. With circumcised penis you will get only sadistic entering for his starving about pleasure. It is so funny how the females are ignorant for males but they know for sure what they wouldnt do to themselves. And of course, lot of boys in mixed marriages have a luck – educated parent will not allow this stupidity to be done to the son.
Sexual mutilation of both sexes are done by the persons with severe mental disorder. Why you even try talking from medical way when you dont respect the nature? Circumcision is genital mutilation and it must be stopped for underage kids. At first educate yourself about genitals and how whole thing works. If is something amputated then that is absolutely in malfunction. Its all began with slavery and their punishment and by the time some idiots dare to stop natural process of someones growing and needs during puberty. Sexual abuses of both sexes must be prosecuted with highest possible penalties. No one single boy or girl wants to these horrible things to them. Also no one wants to talk about surgery mistakes or deaths after this biggest civilization stupidity. One life and ruined one…
to all muslims out there
Please find me any single word in Quraan about boy circumcision.
I am not a Muslim but Ive tried hard to find this “rule” in your book.
It must be written somwhere else…
And if that is done just “to be good person” why are the prisons full of such “good persons”?
Actually, circumcision is not mentioned in Quran, it is a sunnah, it is a ritual which was practiced before islam, among the arabs and jews, and since the prophet Mohamed ( pbuh) was circumcised, it has become a tradition to circumcise the boys, an today science has shown that it is a very healthy and hygenic thing to do and some doctors even recommends it to some patients.
