I attend a mosque here in the U.S. where most of the women come from countries that female circumcision is standard practice for all females.
In talking to them about it; I found out they want the procedure done to their daughters, and have trouble understanding why people in America are so against it?
You are an Imam, if I am not mistaken.
Why would she tell you what she really thinks, considering the culture and the religious ramifications of disagreeing
No, I am not an Imam
The stereotype of muslim women not speaking out may be true in backwards countries like Afghanistan or Sudan.
But doesn't exist here in the U.S.
Women are on the board of our mosque and participate in all events and decisions.
We have several who are doctors and lawyers.
And none are forbidden to speak their mind; in fact it is encouraged.
