Spicerack, but the issue here is about detection, prevention and prosecution in the UK.

How will that work?

-Talbot-...it's not a defence of anyone. It's about being accurate. If you focus exclusively on Muslims you're making a mistake. This is not an issue in Pakistan, Azerbaijan or Albania, Afghanistan or Kosovo.

Have a look at the map on this Wikipedia link:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prevalence_of_female_genital_mutilation_by_country

Does that say 'Muslim' or does it say 'African'.

People need to understand the cultural relevance of FGM. Where it originates from and whose doing it. If it were 'a Muslim thing', then the grey parts of that map would all have areas of colour - right?
Islay.

\\How do you know that no one has been taken to task over them? 13:54 Wed 07th Feb 2018//

There has not been one prosecution and its been a criminal offence in the uk since 1985.
-Talbot-

//You sound very defensive when it comes to linking Muslims with FGM.//

No...it just disappoint me when people won't think things through. It's all...reductive.
This is not an issue in Pakistan,

No?
-Talbot-

Yeah.

I know.

Anyhoo...dinner time.
Convenient.
We crossed posted on the wiki 'by country' link sp ... you though have obviously not read it.
Denying obvious facts is obscurantism, SP. We're talking scale, connection and scope. You sometimes sound like one of les tricoteuses.

oh? Have you tried googling Dhanuson Dharmasena?
One issue may well be that in order to prove that such mutilation has been carried out the child has to be examined intimately. So another assault on a young child. One has also to find out when, where and by whom. One of my ex pupils had this done to her, against her parents wishes,in her country of origin, whilst in the care of her grandmother who believed it had to be done. The victim was very young.
Don't worry, he never bothered to read vestuti's link either, Talbot, or a book.
This is how it works. 'They' type a question into their left wing sites, fact checkers, etc.
"Is FGM a muslim thingy"?
They receive a fatuous answer along the lines of;
'FGM is a predominantly African 'tradition', which goes across all religious demographics.'
Aye, they think, that'll do for me.
And then tell other people to educate themselves.
Bless.

Jno,

Err .....Not guilty
SP at 17:44, female anatomy clearly isn’t your strong point.

How you can in all honesty even attempt to argue that this isn’t predominately a Muslim custom is quite beyond me. While people refuse to acknowledge reality we have no hope of obliterating this appalling blight on humanity.
If we had 80,000 Kikuyu in Londonw we'd ha an FGM problem. As it happens we have that number of people from the same part of Africa pretty well all of whom believe in FGM. Why you think they're going to be educated out their beliefs I don't know.

Correction, I do: you believe they will assimilate. If you're right then fine, we turn a blind eye to the practice because sledgehammers don't work and, in any case, it'll be gone in one or two generations.

Have you considered the other option - that they don't assimilate? (Wasn't assimilation considered a post-colonial concept at one time? Not that I can keep up with these things of course.)
jno, his case has been mentioned on this thread - twice. He was a doctor who wasn't carrying out FGM but was attempting to repair damage his patient had suffered. He was acquitted.
I'm talking Somalis of course.
Funniest one I saw on here (although slightly worrying) was discussing muslim violence against homosexuals.
One of 'their' leading intellectuals posted; 'It's not just muslims, look at this film from........Chechnya'
Instead of giving up when the obvious was explained to him he doubled down with, 'Alright, but it's other places too. Look at this film from.......N.Nigeria'.
Lol, I won't name him.
I remember that - and he is one of the more intelligent here .... allegedly.
