Lawyers representing Dr. Attar, one of the doctors arrested for committing Female Genital Mutilation, are claiming this practice ought to be a religiously protected right for Muslim Americans.
That is a shocking claim. Some Muslims would strongly reject such rhetoric being associated with their religion. This is because most Muslims follow more liberal interpretations of the Quran and other religious texts.
However, there is a growing number of Muslims. such as Dr. Attar. who follow a more literal interpretation of Islam.

Is it okay to state there is historical evidence or texts supporting radical Muslims belief in FGM? It’s true. Although not like that matters much these days.
Yea that’s ok, but the thing is, it’s not only radicals that do this, no? In this case, to strike a balance between honesty reporting and not getting banned for doing so, to call it ‘female castration’ or some such thing as being practiced by some islamists would be ok.
FGM is supported in Islam. I would argue Muslims view and practice FGM in a similar manner to how modern Christianity views homosexuality.

Not sure if you’re familiar with the term “Fitrah”, can’t be translated into English as no equivalent word. But roughly translated means ‘the obvious mandatory practices for Muslims’. Hadiths hold FGM to be one of 5 mandatory fitrahs.
