And you may similarly state that male circumcision (MGM) leaves
millions of boys a years with genital mutilation.
Some societies do it, others do not.
Indeed it is said that barbaric practices such as Human Cuticle
Mutilation (HCM - nail cutting), Body Hair Mutilation (BHM - a
hair cut), Female mammary Gland Mutilation (FMGM - breast
enlargement/reduction), Human Nose Mutilation (HNM - plastic
surgery on the proboscis) etc. leaves millions with mutilated or
deformed body parts.
And some societies would have nothing to do with either of the
above practices.

Who considers it 'barbaric'? Do the infidels think so?
Strange that people would gather in Egypt, which has a large
arabic community, to endorse the views of supremacist whites such
as Blair who referred to Arabs/muslims as 'barbarians' not so
long ago!

"problem"? What problem? Who determined that it is a problem?
"better future"? What do you mean? Do you know?
It is said that we think in images/pictures/snapshots/ ...
Thus when she was talking thus, in her mind was an image of ...
Goodness! The rest of the lecherous creeps just buy the
magazines!
Ahh. Suzanne. A nice Egyptian name.
Mhh. Maybe, er, it is not too late for Suzanne to embrace the
local ways and practices by ....
Don't be afraid my child. The initiation rite takes but just a
moment ...
Ahh. Suzanne of the little education and a burning intent to
bringing western ways to middle east and Africa. Did the
Africans or the Arabs request her services?

Campaigners. All thinking about that same thing (titillation) for
so many days ...
One may wonder, what are they "expert" at?
Who pays the bill for their joyous gatherings? The UN? WHO? The
genocidal maniacs named IMF/WB? The UK?
Hundreds of thousands of dollars will be spent by/on this
assembly.
Quite a tidy sum - that could initiate and complete various
community projects. Or provide food for many starving kids in
Ethiopia. Or Mali. Or save thousands of toddlers from water-borne
diseases. But they are not worried about starving, dying kids.
They claim that they care about mothers and daughters. But the
campaigners and their handlers would state that they have no
funds to ensure that kids get clean water. Or good health care.
Or pre-natal care for the mothers. Or post-natal care for the
mothers. Or a good education for the daughters.
And the kids die. And the mothers die. And the daughters die in
child birth. In Yemen. In Chad. Kenya. Mali. Burkina Faso.
Despicable assembly of joy-seekers and goons.
Is there a body that foots the bill for those who wish to
campaign for the celebration and preservation, of the diverse
Arab and African culture and practices?
Suzanne, note that:
1) Various studies fail reveal any impairment (or "problem"
relating) to the natural reproductive functions arising as a
result of male or female circumcision.
2) Indeed many leaders in political, business, social, technical
and scientific pursuits in Africa an the Middle East were
born to parents who observed and respected the circumcision
rites. Do you perceive shortcomings in the capabilities of
these leaders which can be traced to the circumcision of
their parents?
3) The practice may not meet the infidels' aesthetic views of the
day - but it is NOT done to please the infidels. And neither
do the infidels provide the yardstick for aesthetics.
Like the appreciation of (abstract) art, aesthetics is a highly
personal/subjective thing. Millions do not care for Egyptian art
and culture. Secretly, Suzanne may not care for it either.
But, like art or classical music, those who do not appreciate it
usually have the social graces - not to disrupt the enjoyment and
concentration of the practitioners immersed in the appreciation
of the culture/tradition.
But does this uncouth lack of appreciation of culture explain the
fanatical crusade of the west and their agents upon the social
customs of the barbarians?
Indeed, are "western" customs (if at all we can agree on what
that is) THAT attractive or desirable? Can one suggest that the
foreigners' ways lead to a better quality of life than that of
the African or Arab as scored on various social indicators?
No.
Or could it be that Egypt, like the age-old prostitute, accedes
to provide certain (pleasant or unpleasant) services as required
by the western masters in exchange for over US$2,000,000,000 paid
a year?
The march for imperial/colonial domination of the 'lesser races'
by the european supremacist races often started with a military
conquest. Then followed a drawn out period in which the social
structures and customs of the conquered were systematically
disrupted/dismantled so as to destroy their allegiances and
social identity - a process that often led to the predatory
demise (savored slowly) of the vanquished if they were not needed
to supply slave labor.
... A macabre policy and implementation which kicked into high
gear against the third world 'barbarian' hordes (that is, the
Africans, Arabs, Asians) in the early sixties and has accelerated
within the last two years -
a rendezvous with extermination for the Africans and the Arabs
