Most married women in Egypt went through genital mutilation - health minister
Published time: May 11, 2015 17:17

"Some 92 percent of married women in Egypt underwent female genital mutilation, the country’s health minister said, citing a recent study. He added that the majority of girls face this ordeal when they are only nine to 12 years old.

The results of the Egypt Demographic and Health Survey (EDHS) were announced by Health Minister Adel Adawy at a Sunday conference dedicated to the study, Egyptian media reported. The poll was carried out last year and involved women aged 15 to 49.

According to the minister, only 31 percent of the operations are carried out by doctors, with most being performed by traditional midwives and “health barbers.”

The rate of female circumcision in rural places is extremely high – almost 95 percent while in urban areas it reaches 39.2 percent, the minister said."

It is barbarous and beyond disgusting.

It isn't rare, either. [b]It isn't a lie or "stupid" to point out Islam mutilates women.[/b]

Can you point me to the text in "Islam" that promotes the mutilation of women? I'll wait...[/quote]

Check the Hadiths.[/quote]

Which Hadith, exactly? Please point me in the right direction. As a muslim woman, I'm curious to know which part of my religion mandates this and why islam is cutting off people's genitals. [/quote]

The poster has no clue what they are saying.  [/quote]

It's mentioned for sure. This is where justification is found for the practice.

What exactly have you read and understood from this link? Because as a practicing Muslim, islamQa is the last place I go when I have a question. And even they are saying its not required and the justification is possibly not even based on an authentic source soooo...[/quote]

It might not be required, but it's certainly written. You can say the source isn't accurate, but that doesn't make it so.[/quote]

IslamQA once had an entire thing written about the permissibility of eating mermaids. Someone asked "Are mermaids halal?" And the person wrote a nice long explanation to answer that mermaids are, in fact, halal. Just because something is written by someone somewhere does not make it accurate :)  Most educated Muslims will not follow someone blindly without authentic proof (which means directly from the Quran or from the authentic Hadith narrations, backed up by the four schools of thought). We don't randomly follow online answers just because someone wrote them.[/quote]
