Islam in America > Half a million FGM cases in the USA, but almost no prosecutions - it's madness!

 

Half a million FGM cases in US, many in high Somali-populated Minnesota; zero prosecutions

Feb 23, 2026 11:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams17 Comments

The STOP FGM Act of 2020 strengthened a 1995 original law. The revamped law increased the maximum jail sentence to up to 10 years. Yet as the report points out below, there have been no prosecutions in the high Somali-populated Minnesota. This proves that a two-tier legal system is still operational in America; it must be stopped. No region anywhere in the U.S. should reflect Islamic norms, despite high Muslim populations in some areas and fierce efforts to expand the hegemony of the Sharia — while leftist crazies either deny the nature of Sharia or aid its expansion.

In Somalia, 99 percent of women between 15 and 49 years have undergone FGM. And yes, it is Islamic.

It is not strictly Islamic, as it also occurs in some non-Muslim countries, and it is not taught in the Quran or the Hadiths. But the majority of girls and women who undergo this madness are Islamic.

Minnesota FGM prosecutions remain zero despite state felony law

by Michael Dorgan, Fox News, February 22, 2026:

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…

1/4 Billion Women and Girls Were Mutilated by Islamic FGM Practices, but the UN wants you to think it's a Christian and Jewish tradition

 

1/4 Billion Women and Girls Were Mutilated

by Islamic FGM Practices

Feb 11, 2026 1:00 pm By Daniel Greenfield7 Comments

But the UN claims that female mutilation is a Christian, Jewish and European practice.

A staggering number.

The UN recently commemorated its ‘International Day of Zero Tolerance for FGM’ by not mentioning Islam in any way, but by mentioning that 230 million, almost a quarter of a billion women and girls, were mutilated by the traditional practice that is especially prevalent in the Muslim world of ‘female genital mutilation’ whose purpose is to prevent women from having normal sex lives and can lead to serious injury and major risks during pregnancy.

The UN frenetically dances around the Islamic factor in all this. Its official FAQ claims that  “although female genital mutilation is not endorsed by either Islam or Christianity, supposed religious doctrine is often used to justify it” implying that FGM is a Christian practice.

Then it even more feebly tries to link FGM to Jews.  “Although often perceived as being connected to Islam, perhaps because it is practised among some Muslim groups, not all Islamic groups practise it, and many non-Islamic groups do, including some Christians, Ethiopian Jews and followers of certain traditional African religions.”

Not all Muslims. Look that way, the UN urges, at Christians and Jews.

Then the UN promotes a list of where FGM is practiced that focuses on Europe and Western nations.

Europe: Austria, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Oceania: Australia, New Zealand.

The Americas: Canada, Colombia, United States of America.

Who exactly is practicing FGM in Belgium, Norway and Switzerland? If FGM a traditional Polish or British practice?

The FGM Swiss website has a picture of a blond woman. Let’s see who actually does it in Switzerland.

A Somali woman from canton Neuchâtel has been sentenced to eight months’ prison over the genital mutilation of her two daughters, in the first Swiss case of its kind after a law change.

Those Swiss Somalis again.

FGM Ritual Kills Baby in The Gambia > Study finds 44,000 women and girls die globally each year from female genital mutilation

 

The Gambia: One-month-old baby dies after undergoing female genital mutilation

Gambia baby death heightens alarm over female genital mutilation

AFP, August 12, 2025:

Rights activists in The Gambia are calling for justice after a one-month-old baby’s death was linked to female genital mutilation, a widely practised but illegal procedure up for review before the country’s Supreme Court.

The Gambia has one of the highest rates of FGM in the world, with 73 percent of women and girls aged 15 to 49 having undergone the procedure, according to 2024 figures from UNICEF.

The baby girl was pronounced dead upon arrival at a hospital in the capital Banjul after being “allegedly subjected to circumcision” and developing severe bleeding, The Gambia Police Force said in a statement Sunday.

The death has sparked outrage among women’s rights defenders working to combat the deeply rooted cultural and religious practice that they say is a harmful violation against women and girls.

“FGM is not a cultural tradition to be defended — it is a form of gender-based violence that can kill,” Santana Simiyu, a human rights lawyer with rights group Equality Now, said in a statement sent to AFP Tuesday.

Two women allegedly involved in the case are in custody, police said, as an investigation is carried out in the western town of Wellingara, where the incident occurred.

Researchers at Britain’s University of Birmingham estimated in a study published in 2023 that approximately 44,320 girls and young women die each year due to FGM in the countries where it is practised.

Former Gambian dictator Yahya Jammeh, now in exile, outlawed FGM in 2015, branding it outdated and not a requirement of Islam.

Parliament later that year adopted the first law specifically banning the practice, which is now punishable by up to three years in prison but is rarely enforced.

In July 2024, lawmakers revisited the matter, upholding the 2015 law despite pressure from religious traditionalists.

But the ban was immediately challenged before the Gambian Supreme Court, where the petition remains pending….

Note how carefully AFP dances around the fact that FGM is Islamic, as it is always Job One for the establishment media, in all stories involving Muslims, to make Islam look as good as possible. First, we hear that “FGM is not a cultural tradition to be defended — it is a form of gender-based violence that can kill,” which establishes at the outset that some people think it is a cultural tradition worth defending, while telling us that those people are wrong. The idea that it is a religious tradition doesn’t even come in for a mention until farther down in the article, when we are told that “former Gambian dictator Yahya Jammeh, now in exile, outlawed FGM in 2015, branding it outdated and not a requirement of Islam.” Great, but “in July 2024, lawmakers revisited the matter, upholding the 2015 law despite pressure from religious traditionalists.”

So AFP tells us, without telling us, that some traditionalist Muslims consider female genital mutilation to be part of the Islamic faith. This is the main reason why it is still prevalent in many areas today, but the establishment media does its best to obfuscate any connection between FGM and Islam.

“It is a religious thing. Do you want to change religion?” said one Egyptian in response to a campaign to eradicate female genital mutilation. “You only listen to what the West is saying.”

The establishment media ignores the fact that FGM is mandated in Islamic law: “Circumcision is obligatory (for every male and female) (by cutting off the piece of skin on the glans of the penis of the male, but circumcision of the female is by cutting out the bazr ‘clitoris’ [this is called khufaadh ‘female circumcision’]).” — Umdat al-Salik e4.3, translated by Mark Durie, The Third Choice, p. 64

Why is it obligatory? Because Muhammad is held to have said so: “Abu al- Malih ibn Usama’s father relates that the Prophet said: ‘Circumcision is a law for men and a preservation of honour for women.’” — Ahmad Ibn Hanbal 5:75

“Narrated Umm Atiyyah al-Ansariyyah: A woman used to perform circumcision in Medina. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said to her: ‘Do not cut severely as that is better for a woman and more desirable for a husband.’” — Abu Dawud 41:5251

That hadith is classified as weak, but this one is classified as sahih (reliable): “Aishah narrated: ‘When the circumcised meets the circumcised, then indeed Ghusl is required. Myself and Allah’s Messenger did that, so we performed Ghusl.’” — Jami` at-Tirmidhi 108

If Muhammad had the genitals of his favorite wife, Aisha, mutilated, that is a strong endorsement of the practice from the man who is an “excellent example” (Qur’an 33:21) for Muslims.

Why does it matter whether or not FGM is Islamic? Because the practice will never be eradicated if its root causes are not confronted. As long as those Muslims continue to believe that Allah and Muhammad want it done, for some that will override all other considerations, in the United States and everywhere else.

Islamic Insanity > Genocide, starvation, rape, child sex slaves, racism, murder, massacres, Sudan

 

Sudan: Genocide, Starvation, Crimes against Humanity

Feb 20, 2025 3:00 pm By Uzay Bulut

The world’s most ruinous war is approaching its third year in Sudan while the world largely stands by in indifference.

Since April 2023, Sudan has been ravaged by a civil war between two Muslim forces, the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF, led by Sudan’s de facto ruler, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF, led by Burhan’s deputy-turned-rival Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, known as “Hemedti”).

Civilians continue to bear the brunt of this war: murdered, sexually assaulted, displaced, and left to starve by both sides. Both the SAF and RSF use starvation as a weapon of war and block humanitarian assistance from reaching civilians. Even healthcare facilities have been looted and destroyed, resulting in civilian populations being deprived of basic medical services.

According to “Operation Broken Silence”, an NGO that monitors the Sudan crisis:

• No one knows the true death toll, but a moderate estimate based on available data suggests more than 145,000 civilians have already perished from violence and hunger.
• Nearly 25 million Sudanese —half of the entire country— are facing high levels of acute food insecurity. 8.7 million Sudanese have descended into near-famine or famine conditions.
• Roughly 15 million people have been forced to flee their homes or have left Sudan as refugees. That’s nearly one in three of all Sudanese.
• Nearly 80% of the country’s healthcare system is inoperable and preventable and treatable diseases are spreading quickly.
• 19 million children no longer have a classroom to attend and roughly 90% of schools are closed. This is the largest childhood education crisis in the world.

Sudan is a country in northeast Africa; it is south of Egypt on the Red Sea’s coast. It has a population of around 50 million. It is an ethnically and culturally diverse country with many non-Arab, African communities. It comprises 19 major ethnic groups and about 597 ethnic sub-groups who speak hundreds of languages and dialects.

Why are SAF and RSF fighting?

Arab supremacy and the unwillingness of power sharing are the main motives of both fighting sides. Sudan’s civil war is rooted in its historical favoritism of an Arab Islamic identity, writes Hamdy A. Hassan, a professor of comparative politics and a specialist on the history of Sudan.

According to “Operation Broken Silence”,

• SAF – Top army brass are mostly Nile Valley Arabs, representing the most elite and privileged ethnic groups in the country. The army is fairly diverse with soldiers from most parts of the country. Arab racism toward African tribes exists in SAF, which explains why army units have executed civilians on an ethnic basis as well.
• RSF- Top RSF commanders and most of their fighters hail from Arab tribes in the western Darfur region. The bulk of the RSF adheres to an extremely racist, Arab-supremacist ideology stating that Darfur’s historic African tribal groups must be cleansed from the region and that all other Sudanese Arabs are inferior.

SAF and RSF were allies, but that changed after they overthrew a civilian reform government in 2021. RSF commander Dagalo sees himself as Sudan’s rightful dictator while SAF generals believe that they are the true government. Both sides have committed war crimes and crimes against humanity, including summary executions.

For example, the RSF forces have reportedly raped scores of women and girls, using some as sex slaves. Their use of sexual violence constitutes war crimes and crimes against humanity, according to international law experts. The RSF has also committed targeted massacres of non-Arab groups, especially the Masalit ethnic group.

In April 2024, the Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights released the first independent inquiry into breaches of the U.N. Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (the Genocide Convention) in the Darfur region of Sudan in 2023-2024. The report concludes that the RSF forces and allied militias have committed and are committing genocide against the Masalit.

On December 19, 2024, Saad Bahr el-Din, Sultan of the Masalit, told the UN Security Council that the Masalit and other tribes have been systematically targeted at a large scale because of their ethnic identity. Masalit are exposed to crimes that include genocides “that haven’t been witnessed in our modern history,” el-Din said, adding that his city was under siege for two months by the RSF, who bombarded the city around the clock from all sides.

On February 15, 2025, “Genocide Watch” issued a statement entitled “Sudan Genocide Emergency: January 2025.” They noted that the war in Sudan has escalated to stage nine of the genocidal process: extermination:

“Rape, gang rape, and sex trafficking are rampant. Most such crimes are attributed to the RSF. In South Kordofan, girls as young as thirteen are kidnapped for sexual slavery by RSF soldiers, who use racial slurs while assaulting non-Arab victims.

“A UN Fact Finding Mission reported that over 400 women sought medical aid for sexual violence in the year between April 2023 and July 2024. The real numbers of victims are likely much higher, as stigma prevents many women from reporting rapes. Many kidnapped women commit suicide to avoid being raped by RSF soldiers.”

Khartoum destroyed

In an interview with Le Monde published on October 11, 2024, anthropologist Clément Deshayes said that “the conflict in Sudan constitutes the world’s most serious humanitarian crisis.”

“The capital, Khartoum, is completely devastated. The majority of bridges crossing the Nile River have been destroyed or badly damaged. Hospitals, except for one or two under SAF control, have been wiped out, as have most schools; the university of Khartoum is in ruins… Most of the industry was concentrated in Khartoum and Bahri, the scene of fierce battles. Most warehouses and factories are burned down.”

Sudan’s government has never been at ease with the international community nor its own people. According to the official website of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum,

“Since gaining independence from Britain in 1956, Sudan’s ruling class has justified its power with an ideology that favors the Arabic-speaking and Arabic elite in the capital Khartoum over populations from the nation’s more culturally, religiously, and linguistically diverse regions outside the capital.”

For decades Sudan’s people have been exposed to violence. This includes three civil wars, 35 coups and attempted coups, various crimes against humanity, as well as the theft of the country’s natural resources at the hands of autocratic governments and criminal militia.

The first Sudanese civil war (1955–72) erupted just before Sudan became an independent country. The war was prompted by southerners who had been promised and then denied the right to govern themselves. Southerners—mostly Christian and animist—fought against the north’s rule and the imposition of Arabic language and culture. The fighting resulted in the death of half a million people, mostly civilians, and forced hundreds of thousands to flee their homes.

In 1983, then-Sudanese President Jaafar al-Nimieri introduced new legal measures that removed the southern regions’ self-governance power. Nimieri declared Arabic the official language, and imposed Sharia law over the entire country.

Sudan currently faces complete economic and social collapse. The Arab-Islamic supremacy that the Sudanese regime and Arab militias uphold has devastated millions of lives. Instead of respecting the ethnic, linguistic and religious diversity of their populace and providing a fair, democratic sharing of power and resources, these forces have chosen to commit ethnic cleansings and cause famine, deaths and destruction across Sudan.

22 years after the first genocide of the 21st century unfolded in Darfur, the same perpetrators are committing the same atrocities against the same targeted groups, namely the Masalit or non-Arab groups, with impunity.

Yet, the absence of media coverage, protests, condemnations on the fighting sides and real action to help the victims leads one to ask: Why is there so little international attention on Sudan? Is it because the victims are black or because the perpetrators are Muslim and Israel is not involved? Or all these combined?
