You're going to love love love Sharia law! Girls' clitoris should be cut (Muhammad's words, Book 41, Kitab Al-Adab, Hadith 5251). FEMALE CIRCUMCISION BRUTALITY CRUSHES WOMEN'S SEX DRIVE The practice of female genital mutilation dates back at least 2,000 years and was used in ancient Egypt as a sign of distinction amongst the aristocracy. The FGM National Group, a UK-based charity, said primitive societies believed the procedure would ensure women’s virginity and lead to a reduction in female desire. In some cultures, it is valued as a rite of passage from childhood to womanhood but others believe it is a means of preserving a girl’s virginity until marriage. In most of these countries FGM is a pre-requisite for marriage, with marriage being vital to a woman’s social and economic survival. FGM is rooted in culture and some believe it is carried out for religious reasons. Although not confined to a particular culture or religion, it is most common in Africa. Female genital mutilation is illegal in the UK under laws introduced in 1985. This legislation was strengthened and updated in 2003 by a private member’s bill introduced by the Labour MP Ann Clwyd. Under this law, which came into force in March 2004, it is a crime to carry out, aid or abet any form of FGM. The penalties were also increased significantly and allowed the courts to impose prison sentences of between five and 14 years on those who carry out the procedure or on parents who allow their children to be mutilated. But the failed prosecution in the Dharmasena case that finished yesterday raises questions about future proceedings. Seven other cases are under investigation and three are with the CPS for consideration. There are also 11 cases in which the CPS decided there should be no further action and one case in which the police decided not to press ahead.
