That is WILD. I didn't realize Egypt was Islamizing as fast as it was. That's a trajectory to be the next Somalia if their economy keeps regressing at the present pace. Over 4 in 5 married women and rising. I heard 80% mentioned in a podcast and just had to go look for myself. I can't believe 80% was slightly low.
In somalia it's 98% iirc.

And I was called a racist pointing out that this alone should be enough to completely ban immigration from that country.

You realize that unlike the USA, the current territories that would make up the state of Palestine under some plans disagree among themselves about who is the proper ruler right?

There is a group of armed people who call themselves Hamas which is a wing of those in the ruling government, also called Hamas.

IMO, that means the armed group of Hamas is an armed force. In what way do you think they should not be considered an armed force?
google it and learn for yourself.

The Israeli religious right won't permit that, as long as they have any say.

You're comparing completely removing any sexual pleasure a woman can have externally (by partially or totally removing the genetalia), to circumcision? And at age 7 to 10!

These things are not the same, lol. There is ZERO benefit to FGM. Circumcision demonstrably lowers the chances of UTIs, some STIs, easier hygiene.

This equivalency you're drawing is weak to non-existent.


But don't take me from me, take it from Plan


Myth #2: FGM is no different from male circumcision
Fact: Male circumcision is a common procedure in some communities involving the removal of the foreskin on genitalia. The health consequences of male circumcision are drastically different when compared to FGM. According to the World Health Organisation, circumcision of male babies results in "a very low rate of adverse events, which are usually minor (0.2-0.4%)”. Female genital mutilation, on the other hand, is the cutting and/or partial or total removal of genitalia itself. It is estimated that FGM is performed by a medical professional on one in five girls; more often, however, it is performed by community elders, practitioners of traditional medicine, and relatives in rural settings. It is also often performed in unsanitary environments using old knives, razor blades, scissors or broken glass, and without anesthetic. The average age for girls to undergo FGM is between 7 and 10 years old. Adverse effects of FGM include painful intercourse, menstrual blockage, urinary blockage and infection, wound infection, septicaemia and even death. In fact, women who have undergone FGM are twice as likely to die during childbirth and are more likely to give birth to a stillborn baby than those who haven’t.

They claim to be one state now but held separate elections. Neither has had one in 20 years

Who's deciding who runs the election? Will hamas accept pa as the ruling party ? They didn't in 2005

Women don't matter in Palestinian culture so why would any one be outraged that women shouldn't enjoy sex there?

Hamas wants a Palestinian state they run and will not accept another government

Even biden and blinken agree it should be fatah not hamas

Hamas will not agree to any deal where they don't retain power

Female genital mutilation (FGM) is a traditional practice that involves the partial or total removal of external female genitalia or other injury to female genital organs for non-medical reasons. It's also known as female circumcision or cutting, and by other terms, such as Sunna, gudniin, halalays, tahur, megrez and khitan.
FGM has no health benefits and can lead to immediate and long-term complications to women's physical, mental, and sexual health and well-being. Immediate complications can include:
Severe pain
Excessive bleeding
Genital tissue swelling
Fever
Infections
Urinary problems
Wound healing problems
Injury to surrounding genital tissue
Shock
Death
Long-term complications can include:
Problems with sex, childbirth, and mental health
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Anxiety
Depression
Memory loss
Reduced sexual feelings
Painful sexual intercourse
FGM is usually carried out on young girls between infancy and the age of 15, most commonly before puberty starts. It's illegal in many countries, but it is still routinely carried out in parts of Africa, Asia and the Middle East.
