    Nice false equivalence. I’m not talking about female circumcision.

        Umm, no. Female circumcision is nowhere near the same thing. If you think it is, then you should really do some more homework on the subject. But I suspect you don’t actually care about the differences.

          Stop being a bigot, it’s their culture after all.
