I didn't make this a subject earlier because I thought it was a practice restricted to the backwaters and splinter groups of Islam. If you read about this practice in "Infidel" by Ayaan Hirsi Ali it will make your blood boil.
However I was stunned to learn yesterday that 8 out of 10 Egyptian women have been mutilated in this fashion as "Presented at The First International Symposium on Circumcision, Anaheim, California, March 1-2, 1989".
http://www.nocirc.org/symposia/first/badawi.html"In Egypt, at least 90 percent of women are believed to have undergone FGM
[female genital mutilation]. In 2005, a report by UNICEF had claimed that 97 percent of Egyptian women aged 15-49 had undergone the operation. Here, the issue has been a source of controversy. A CNN broadcast from 1994, in which a 10-year-old girl in Egypt was shown being "operated upon" by an unskilled practitioner, caused a hostile reaction. Egypt sued CNN for $500 million for damaging its reputation, but the case was thrown out by courts.""
For anyone who thinks this is a new practice in Islam, yesterday when I was reading "Good Muslims Kill" in "Prophet of Doom", I came across this...
"This next Hadith is told from the perspective of one of the African slaves who fought at Uhud. Tabari VII:121/Ishaq:375
"I saw Hamzah cutting down men with his sword, sparing no one. He yelled out to us, 'Come here, you son of a cutter-off of clitorises.' He hit Siba so swiftly, his sword could not be seen striking his head. So I balanced my javelin until I was satisfied. Then I hurled it at Hamzah. It struck him in the lower part of the belly with such force it came out between his legs. He came toward me, but was overcome and fell. I waited until he was dead and recovered my javelin. I returned to the camp since there was nothing else I wanted." Unlike the Muslims, the Africans were civil."
http://prophetofdoom.net/Prophet_of_Doom_17_Good_Muslims_Kill.Islam"However, the most moderate opinion and the most likely one to be correct is in favor of practicing circumcision in the moderate Islamic way indicated in some of the Prophet’s hadiths – even though such hadiths are not confirmed to be authentic.
It is reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to a midwife: “Reduce the size of the clitoris but do not exceed the limit, for that is better for her health and is preferred by husbandsâ€. The hadith indicates that circumcision is better for a woman’s health and it enhances her conjugal relation with her husband. It’s noteworthy that the Prophet’s saying “do not exceed the limit†means do not totally remove the clitoris."

Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all. 38 But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not...

Anyone who thinks democracy can prevail among antichrists is the very epitome, the very definition of, ignorant. Islam can only be ruled with an iron fist as we find all around the world.
