Female Genital Mutilation in Minnesota! ∙

Female genital mutilation and the secret shame of Minnesota's Somalis

State Rep. Mary Franson says cultural secrecy makes female genital mutilation 'exceptionally difficult to detect' in tight-knit communities​

“More than half a million women and girls in the United States are living with the physical and psychological scars of female genital mutilation—including many in Minnesota, home to a large Somali community from a country where roughly 98% of women have undergone the procedure, according to United Nations data.”

“Yet despite a state law that makes performing the procedures a felony, Minnesota has never secured a single criminal prosecution under its law—raising questions about enforcement, and whether cases could be going on undetected.”

“Female genital mutilation, or FGM, involves the cutting or removal of parts of a female’s genital organs, typically for cultural rather than medical reasons. The practice is irreversible.”

“‘It’s hidden—it’s a cultural practice, and who is doing the cutting could be a family member or a doctor who is also in that same culture,’ Minnesota Republican state Rep. Mary Franson told Fox News Digital, noting it may be carried out within tight-knit communities. She said the secrecy surrounding the practice makes it exceptionally difficult to detect and confront.”

Somalian way is particularly mutilating. At around 8 or 9 they take the boat and the little man in the boat. Then sew it up tight, leaving only a small hole for urine and menstrual blood to get out.

No leftist here will condemn this.

That's why it is called the gutter religion.

Female Genital Mutilation in Minnesota!​

Yes-yes, I know all about that but ... really ..... a few Muslim girls getting their clitos whacked off in Minnesota doesn't compare with the millions upon millions of Muslim, Christian, and Jewish boys being subjected to Genital Mutilation in every state of the union.

As expected, the Democrats, and especially the "not Democrats" on here have avoided this thread like a welfare loafer avoiding a job fair.

I feel like calling some out, so why not:

citygator you have nothing to say about this?

You dont care otherwise you'd see through a lot of the mumbo jumbo in that article and be an advocate for asylum.

FGM is a serious violation of human rights and a form of child abuse. I believe 41 states have passed laws specifically criminalizing FGM, leaving nine states without such specific legislation including Alabama, Montana, Mississippi, Indiana, Nebraska, New Mexico, Maine, Washington, and Connecticut.

Now, The half a million number is bogus. Its the number of women who live here from a culture where overseas the practices is prevalent. Many are here in the US as a refuge from the oppression of women occurring in the countries that practice this crime. NO ONE knows how many of these occur but in the US its a tiny number but still worthy of education and awareness.

The slam on Minnesota prosecution is bullshit. There have been virtually no prosecutions nationwide because 1.) there are not a lot of cases and 2.) the few that occur do so in secret like pedophiles. Nationwide one of the largest "at risk" groups is in Texas where there have been no prosecutions. The reason for the lack of prosecution is that there are not a lot of them that occur in the US. Its illegal to take women out of the US for this as well.

Seymour Flops probably wants to address this risk by denying them entry to the US so they can be left in a country they are not protected.

What is your solution Seymour Flops ? I bet it isnt helping the girls by giving them asylum but instead leaving them to be abused. Where you at Seymour Flops ?

The real issue here is Minn democrats have not done anything to stop this female mutilation. No surprise they support breast removal for minor females who think they are in the wrong body. They invited illegal alien rapists in the country and protect them from being deported. Trump is right democrats are crazy. An illegal just murdered a woman in Virginia. When does it end

Democrats are not killing or mutilating anyone. Why are republicans diddling little boys and girls?

Want me to list the 47 Republican leaders, not random unnamed and uncounted immigrant occurrences that are guesses, but bona fide elected or appointed Republicans? I've posted it before. Many times.

That is great speechifying and it does indicate - falsely or authentically - a concern for the young girls victimized by Samoli culture. It is completely lacking sources to back up its claims, unfortunately, leaving me to either ignore the unsupported claims or debate using the rhetorical device of saying "well, even if that is true, my counter is . . . " which is the choice we so often get when debating "not Democrats."

Seymour Flops probably wants to address this risk by denying them entry to the US so they can be left in a country they are not protected.

Now that is an interesting turn of argument. Prior to the Autopen Administration (which of course, being "not a Democrat" you have no reason to defend), I had great respect for the United States Asylum system - when I thought about it at all, which was rare. My assumption was that it was for a limited number of people from specific countries in which they were in legitimate danger of being severely persecuted to the point that it would be life-saving to allow them to seek safety in the U.S. My further assumption was that most countries from whom people actually needed assylum did not allow their citizens to travel, so such legitimate assylum seekers would be rare.

I hope you will prove that you are not a Demcrat by admitting that the Biden Administration blew up the assylum system and turned it into a get-into-the-U.S.-free card that was exploited by the Cartels and other forms of coyotes from outside Latin-America to bring millions of people in whose primary concern was the lack of economic opportunities in their socialist countries, not any political persecution.

Because of that, the assylum system was broken in a shorter time than I would have imagined possible, and it will take many years and many, many deportations before we are able to operate it properly again.

Now . . . even If what you say is true and you only advocate bringing in millions of Somalis to protect them from FGM, you will be happy to state that there are some Somalis who should be absolutely barred from the U.S. and deported immediately if they are here:

1) All males. As far as I know, there is no female genital mutilation done on males in Samolia (no telling what they do in Oregon for example). If you have specific examples, let me know. It is males that advocate for and often perform FGM of young girls. Get rid of them to protect Somali girls

2) All women over thirty. They are out of danger of being forced into the surgery and women are even stronger advocates and more often performers of FGM of young girls. Get rid of them to protect Somali girls.

Right?

After all, at a women's shelter, the battered women are not allowed to bring their boyfriends or husbands who batter them. The more secure ones allow no males at all and take strong steps to prevent their entry. Why not even a proudly progressive Democrat would be stupid enought to think that allowing men in a women's shelter would be a goo . . . oh wait . . .

For many girls, school holidays means FGM “cutting season”

HARGEISA – Asha Ali Ibrahim, 41, has been performing female genital mutilation (FGM) on girls in Diaami, Hargeisa and other parts of Somalia since 1997. July and August are her busiest months of the year. “This is the peak season, when

About 98 per cent of women and girls in Somalia have undergone some form of FGM, according

This is what you want to keep bringing to the U.S.?

Somali girls typically undergo this procedure between ages 7 and 10, but Ms. Ibrahim says girls brought from abroad – especially from the United States and Europe – are usually older, between 12 and 14 years old. “It is a bit cumbersome to carry out the procedure on tissue that is more mature, and the grown up girls struggle more than younger ones,” she said.

Ms. Ibrahim is clear-eyed about some of the dangers. When she took over the role of circumciser from her aging mother, she was motivated in part by a desire to protect girls’ health.

“My mother was using one razor blade on all girls she cut. My daughter got sick soon after being cut by my mother, and I was informed at the hospital that the infection may have occurred from the procedure,” she explained. “I had been understudying my mother, so I asked her to stop carrying out FGM and I took over.”
