'Cos it's a "culturally sensitive" issue, innit?
Because many of the operations happened many years ago overseas.
Because a lot of the more recent operations took place overseas.
Because identifying the person who carried out the operation is nigh on impossible.

From your link:
"It is believed the vast majority of cases are women who were born abroad and then moved to the UK in childhood or later life."

Ditto male genital mutilation.
Circumcision of boys is not illegal in the UK, Canary42.
What about sexual equality ?
probably because they cant find who is doing it

So Jews are more influential than Moslems.
This thread is a discussion about FGM, Canary. Why don't you start a new thread about male circumcision?
Why do people compare circumcision with FGM?

Yes, it is a horrible practise when done for religious purposes but it doesn't deny the male of sexual pleasure. It also has health benefits for some whereas FGM doesn't.
"So Jews are more influential than Moslems.".
Are you saying that is a bad thing, Canary?
Same reason they never went after the Asian grooming gangs.
//Why do people compare circumcision with FGM? //

there's a school of thought that says using the term "FGM", in which the m stands for mutilation stigmatizes those whose cultures practice it, thus "female circumcision" is more politically acceptable. thus the comparison is valid.
There is absolutely no comparison between the two.
But the practise isn't.
Moslems and Jews have boys circumcised for religious reasons.
Here in the UK it is usually done for medical reasons.
Unlike FGM it doesn't interfere with sexual pleasure. Can't imagine anything worse than having your clitoris cut away . Barbaric!!!!
Just Google it. There seems to be plenty being arrested.

Andres....that's just one practise. They also sew them up making day to day life very painful....forever!

Now compare that to having a bit of skin cut off.
Exactly ummmm! But it's all in the name of religion .Just another practice to add to a long and growing list.
andres, it isn't 'all in the name of religion'. The majority of white men in the USA were circumcised as babies - it is only now that the trend is falling, slowly.

Lots of men and boys have been circumcised who are neither Jewish nor Muslim
I think as more cases go to court there will be clearer guidelines for the police to follow.
