Female Circumcision

Re: Female Circumcision

What the heck? I think the funniest part to this whole thing and believe me, I had to really stretch to find funny, was this part:

Here are some of the benefits which have been discovered:

(i) A reduction of infections resulting from microbes gathering under the hood of the clitoris.

(ii) Attacks of herpes and genital ulcers are less severe and less harmful with men and women who have been circumcised.

(iii) A further benefit that is apparent for them and more so for their husbands, is that women of hot climates often have a large clitoris which arouses their desires when it rubs against the adjacent clothing. It may even grow to such a size that sexual intercourse is not possible. Therefore, circumcision reduces her desires and their effects in the first case, and makes intercourse possible in the second. [Adapted from an article in ‘al-Mujtami’ magazine entitled: ‘Circumcision and Modern Illness’ No. 931]

Apparently this person is really stretching to find anything to justify this and is obviously not in the medical field. What a crock of s***. On a side note, if a clitoris is that big, it’s a guy

btw - any way of finding out which century this was written in and the credentials of the writer? I am assuming he has a religious degree since medicine has never condoned this, but where? How about even a link?
