Remember Everyone, We Must Be Tolerant of the "Religion" of Islam...13 Yr Old Egyptian Girl Dies From Genital Circumcision

You know, when you think of it, reading the pages of newspapers around the world right now in regards to Islam really does take you back to the 7th century but yet, in the most advanced country in the world, in this United States of America, we are actually having a debate about the freedoms that should be allowed for the cult of Islam. America's Left, thinking they have an ally in Islam for the overthrow of America as we know it, is willing to promote the charade that Islam is a religion and not a violent political ideology.

Well, the "religion" of Islam has claimed another victim. No, it wasn't an Israeli mother killed in a suicide bombing in Tel Aviv. No, it wasn't a U.S. soldier killed in Helmand province. No, it wasn't even a British man attacked on a London street.

It was a 13 year old girl whose clitoris was chopped off by an Egyptian doctor so her parents would be sure that she never, ever would defy the rules of the Qur'an - it was a 13 year old girl who bled out below her waist. A 13 year old girl is dead today from clitoral circumcision and we in America will only hear from the National Organization of Women that 13 year old girls should never have to experience a back alley abortion.

13 years old. I'm sorry, but I can't get out of my head just how young that is. Murdered for the sake of a "god" and prophet. Murdered for a "holy" book. Murdered to preserve "honor."

GENITAL MUTILIATIONS: EGYPT; GIRL DIES, DOCTOR ARRESTED


ROME, AUGUST 20 - Minister of Family Mouchira Khattab called for Egyptian Attorney General Abdel Meguid Mahmoud to carry out an investigation into the death of the young girl, Nermine El Haddad, who was 13-years-old. In the statement, Khattab asked for all legal steps to be taken against everyone responsible for this crime.

The doctor accused with the crime, Fatheya Mohamed Ahmed Eweida, has been taken into preventative custody. The victim died after a massive haemorrhage and her parents reportedly buried her, afraid of being caught. The news was reported by another doctor who learned about the incident. Mouchira Khattab - an ally in the battle together with First Lady Suzanne Mubarak - promoted childhood law number 126 of 2008, which for the first time banned female genital mutilation (FGM), making a crime. In 2007 the Health Minister issued a decree that banned the practice in hospitals by doctors and others.

Moderate Muslims have welcomed the measure, saying that FGM has nothing to do with Islam, and is a tradition of African origin. Nonetheless, the practice has grown particularly strong roots in the south part of the country, to the point that the minister is also personally involved in the FGM Free Village Model programme, which was launched in 2003 with the Cairo Declaration.

At the beginning of July over half of the 120 villages in Upper Egypt were part of the programme, which was extended to the south in 2005. It is financed by the Italian Cooperation through the Italy-Egypt programme for debt conversion.
