Despite the absence of scriptural support, women and girls within Christian communities, including in Egypt, Kenya, Nigeria and Tanzania, do undergo FGM.[16] It has been found among Coptic Christians in Egypt, Orthodox Christians in Ethiopia, and Protestants and Catholics in Sudan and Kenya.[19] A 2013 UNICEF report identified 17 African countries in which at least 10 percent of Christian women and girls aged 15–49 had undergone it. In Niger, for example, 55 percent of Christian women and girls had experienced it, against two percent of Muslim women and girls.[22]

89% of women in Eritrea, a Christian-majority country, undergo Female Genital Mutilation, and 60% of those women view it as a religious requirement. In addition, 74% of women in Ethiopia, 66% of women in Liberia, and 27% of women in Kenya, have undergone Female Genital Mutilation – all Christian-majority countries. Here’s a most interesting statistic: In Niger, 55% of Christian women undergo Female Genital Mutilation, as compared to only 2% of Muslim women.

Methra - Blogs are your go to sources. And in this topic tonight that’s all you have provided. 2 links to 2 blogs. Blogs! That’s how the actual authors describe their own work.

That probably explains why when one researches further using more credible links they discover that the information in the BLOGS you think are factual ....are in fact incorrect. Esp as regards religion as a form of identity. And the other thing which I find really annoying (because I know you never went to Uni and you think that Google will somehow make up for that) is this : You don’t know that when a person from a certain African country claims to be a Christian they may be in fact stating this : I believe in a certain form of spirituality which I’ve inherited from my ancestors over thousands of years and involves black magic etc but I’ve also added the Christian God into it now. In short : they’re not Christians. And just because they claim to be Christian it doesn’t mean they are. I’m glad I studied Anthropology at Uni because I had the opportunity to learn all this through actual case studies which were undertaken by highly regarded Anthropologists who went to Africa and studied these peculiarities. First hand.

So don’t bother googling obscure blogs and providing their links to me as though they mean something remotely relevant and accurate. When you do that it only shows me how piss poor your knowledge base is and reminds me yet again just how uneducated and ignorant you really are.

One last comment: You’re no feminist. You’re nothing more than a wannabe googled form of it.

Night.

I wonder how many curtain calls we'll be in for tonight?

We're up to 3 but that is far from unusual.

Four. And counting.

And Mother Jones is not a blog.

Here’s a riddle for our politically twisted times: when is a black woman a white supremacist? Answer: when she speaks out against female genital mutilation, sharia law, and jihadism.

This is the tortured logic of the feminist Left in Australia, which helped stop a lecture tour by the human rights advocate Ayaan Hirsi Ali. Anonymous protestors warned venues and insurers not to have dealings with the Somali-born, anti-radical-Islam activist if they wanted to avoid “trouble.” The “Council for the Prevention of Islamophobia, Inc.” accused Hirsi Ali of being part of the “Islamophobia industry . . . that exists to dehumanize Muslim women.” Another group, “Persons of Interest,” took to Facebook to describe her ideas: “This is the language of patriarchy and misogyny. This is the language of white supremacy. This is the language used to justify war and genocide.”

Hirsi Ali canceled her trip in early April, only days before she was due to speak in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, and Auckland, New Zealand. In Australia, as in the UK, the costs of security have to be borne by event organizers, not the government, as is the case in the U.S. Perhaps there were disagreements between the speaker and her sponsors about security. In any case, Hirsi Ali travels with armed guards, but it was still too dangerous for her to speak in public. Yes, in Australia.
...
In a country where the woman who speaks out against forced marriage and jihadism is an extremist and the people who threaten her are praised as virtuous representatives of diversity, who exactly requires protection?

It's not the Christians who threatened her, bint, or threaten anyone who is critical of them.  As always, it was the Muslims who can't bear any criticism and will either threaten or carry out actual bloody jihad to shut it down.
