Original: «In Somalia, like many countries across Africa and the Middle East, little girls are made "pure" by having they genitals cut out. There is no other way to describe this procedure, which with typically occurs around the age of five. After the child's clitoris and labia are carved out, scraped off or in more compassionates areas, merely cut or pricked, the whole area is often swen up, so that a thick band of tissue forms a chastity belt made of the girl's own scarred flesh. A small hole is carefully situated to permit a thin flow of pee. Only great force can tear the scar tissue wicher, for sex.
Female genital mutilation predates Islam. Not all the muslims do this, and a few of the people who do are not islamic. But in Somalia, where virtually every girl is excised, the practise is always justified in the name of Islam. Uncircumcised girls will be possessed by devils, fall into vice and perdition and became whore. Imans never discourage the practise: it keeps girls pure. (es) |
