| as i'm searching for an article on trokosi (female genital mutilation) i come across a site called: [color=red][anti islamic website url deleted by moderator][/color] ok i think, "that's weird"....as i read the article paints the picture of fgm being an islamic practice, continuing to say that the main practitioners are immigrants from "muslim countries" aka the middle east...they also blame christian immmigrants also... now i'm a very sensitive person so maybe i'm offended for no reason... but in my humble opinion it might as well be a website on black people and fried chicken. as i scroll down i see links to sponsors of alternative religions... the only religious tolerance i saw were for particular religions that shall remain nameless... visit [color=red][url deleted by moderator][/color] and tell me if i'm overreacting, maybe i read in too deep...or maybe it is a muslim practice... sincerely an oversensitive non muslim |

| Hi, it's not a religious practice sanctiond by islam or christianity. And saying that it's among mainly Muslims is an outright lie! Christians and non-Muslims and non-Christians as well as ignorant muslims do it. it was a part of the cultural practice of certain arabs and africans long before the abrahamic religions came along. and ur not over reacting. here's a good site. if you need help, (is it for school or something?), let me know. :) http://www.fgmnetwork.org later, Saleema |

| hey iranna, fgm has nothing to do with islam. it is a cultural practice that pre-dates islam. here is some more information about it [url]http://jannah.org/genderequity/equityappendix.html[/url]. I'm going to delete the url's because I don't want anyone to get confused and think that we're supporting that site or that it has the correct islamic views about it. But if someone wants to respond to that site or something pls madina message iranna. |

| iranna, [url=http://www.mwlusa.org/pub_fgm.shtml]Here[/url] is another article on Islam and fgm. from the original site: "... is about male and female circumcision among Jews, Christians and Muslims -- the religious debate. It is published by Riad El-Rayyes (Sanayeh, Union Building, P.O.Box 113-5796, Beirut). It contains 25 annexes of about 100 pages: old and recent texts, fatwas and opinions on this subject from the Muslim world, two of them never published before. The famous Egyptian physician and writer, Dr. Nawal El-Saadawi, wrote a foreword of six pages." This woman is seriously *evil*. I saw a documentary with her and her husband, they made Islam seem like some male created, backwards, archaic, irrational, sex-obsessed set of laws.. it literally *hurt* to watch what this woman said and what her husband said about hijab, about the prophet [saw]... she has no basic understanding of Islam whatsoever and they go about preaching their hate-filled Islamically illiterate trash and are accepted, praised for the "progress" they bring to poor, pitiful uneducated backwards confused oppressed poverty stricken village women in countries like Egypt... she makes me so mad... |

| Asalaamu Alaikum ;-) [quote]The famous Egyptian physician and writer, Dr. Nawal El-Saadawi, wrote a foreword of six pages." This woman is seriously *evil*. I saw a documentary with her and her husband, they made Islam seem like some male created, backwards, archaic, irrational, sex-obsessed set of laws..[/quote] Some recent news on this woman [hr] Egyptian writer faces apostasy trial Egypt's prosecutor-general has ruled that a case against feminist writer Nawal el-Saadawi on charges of apostasy will be heard in court. The case is being brought by a conservative lawyer, Nabih el-Wahsh, who has also called for Dr el-Saadawi's husband to divorce her on the grounds that she has deserted Islam. Dr el-Saadawi told the BBC that she was astonished at the prosecutor's decision, adding that Mr el-Wahsh was "mentally disturbed". The charges relate to an interview by Dr el-Saadawi in the Al-Midan weekly in which she was quoted as calling the annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca, the Hajj, a vestige of paganism. She was also quoted as calling for the abolition of an Islamic inheritance law in Egypt that gives female heirs half what men receive. Egyptian Grand Mufti Sheikh Nasr Fraid Wassel, who listened to tapes of the interview, called on the writer to renounce her statements. But Ms el-Saddawi said that the journalist had distorted the whole interview, and that she had merely been stating historical facts. Previous controversy Dr el-Saadawi's husband told The Associated Press they had not been informed of the decision, but - if true - it would be a licence to kill her. He added that neither he nor his wife planned to leave Egypt. Dr el-Saadawi has courted controversy before with her writings on women's issues. In 1981 she was imprisoned by the late President Anwar Sadat for political activities. And some of her books were banned at January's Cairo Book Fair. Islamists initially won a similar case against a university professor, Nasser Abu Zeid, in 1995, ordering him to divorce his wife on the grounds of apostasy, but subsequently lost the case on appeal. Mr Abu Zeid and his wife fled Egypt in 1995, fearing attacks by Islamic fundamentalists. Apostasy, or renunciation of faith, is an offence in several Islamic countries.
