Title: FGM to control women's sex drive 'Common Sense'

QuoteFemale genital mutilation was made illegal in Egypt in 2008 but is still very widely practiced. Some estimates suggest over 75% of women, Muslim and Christian, still have had the procedure in some areas of the country.

Debate on the subject has re-opened after the recent death of a 13-year-old girl while having the operation. Studies have also documented cases of serious health and psychological complications

Sheikh Yussef al-Badri is one of Egypt's biggest advocates for what he refers to as female circumcision, and has petitioned the country's courts to make it legal again.

He told Aleem Maqbool that it removed a woman's "need for man".

 :shock:
It's about time dem women were put in their place!

Seriously though, good to see these people coming out of the woodwork. Shame how crap the so called 'Arab Spring' has actually been for people in Egypt et al.

Yeah, because over here in the west, you can't walk 10 feet without at least a dozen women propositioning you at every turn.

Maybe they should take out this guy's brain, because that'll remove his "need to come up with stupid reasons to do stupid things".

Has it occurred to you that the problem is that someone has already done that? :p

An excellent example of how faith without evidence can make people believe anything without evidence and come up with the stupidest imaginable beliefs. Allah U Akbar!  :roll:  Solitary

Maybe this dickhead should be forcibly genitally mutilated to see how he likes it.  Speaking of which, I'd like to see circumcision reduced to a voluntary-only basis once the individual has reached 18 years old.  See how many takers there are....

Sorry, I digress.  :oops:

Actually, in some neighborhoods, a woman can't walk ten feet without some creep hitting on them. Apparently they're removing the wrong genitals.

That did happen. His name was, hilariously, John Wayne Bobbitt.

If they are going to go around without their burkas on, what do you expect to happen?

They should just remove all genitals, on everyone, and put an end to this whole sex thing once and for all.

Did I miss anyone saying that this behaviour is acceptible? Or was it more of a general comment? :/

No it's not!  Slicing anything off anyone is not ok!

(Except hair and toenails.  You know what I mean.  Stop being pedantic.)
