A study released by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention finds a four-fold increase in the risk of genital mutilation in girls under the age of 18, and a three-fold increase in girls and other women in the U.S, due to the wave of migrants from countries where the ritual is still practiced.
The increase has been happening over the course of a few decades as wave after wave of migrants have reached the US. The current rate means that half a million girls and women are affected or directly at risk of being subjected to the practice.
The practice has been bands in the United States for 20 years, but families who still practice genital mutilation are exploiting loopholes. The study observed a phenomenon called “vacation cutting,” where girls are sent back to the family’s country of origin to undergo the gruesome ritual.

This is barbaric and evil. Who could possibly think this is ok.
Also occurs in many non-Muslim African countries. It’s cultural not religious. And it’s abhorrent.
It doesn’t belong in America no matter what.
Doesn’t belong anywhere.
Ignorance
Where r the hat wearing women now
Hateful! Islamic have got to be the most hateful race in the world!
Mutilations of little girls! Damage them so bad that they never have a real relationship with a man! Hurting at a young age they probably will never know the not sure of motherhood!
Muslims are destroying girls and women’s! And that my friend is A Hate Crime!
Disgusting! Absolutely disgusting! Thanks Islam what a gift to humanity. Instead of mutilating the genitals of little girls someone should castrate these animals!
If my religion told me that I had to mutilate the genitals of young girls I would leave and never go back.
Those bastards have got to be deported, Whenare we going to learn, it will not work
