Liberals have done worse things to infants...
Yeah, only liberals.

And yet, here you are, apologizing for a religion which condones the rape, mutilation and murder of women.Oh, and the female rape apologist herself! That is too hilarious for words Ms. Gazer.

The hypocrisy is absolutely hilarious. I knew this would be the result of this thread. The rabid militants always defend their pet religion, regardless of whom gets killed/raped, etc.
Maybe you should put the bogus religion card back in the deck and address the topic. It doesn't take a 'Christian' to recognize ass backwards, animalistic savagery.So many Christians willing to sit in judgement of others...
Maybe you should worry about the beam in thine own eye before you go trying to tell others how they should act.
Do you actually believe only Christians find these actions abhorrent? Or is this just another strawdawg to divert from the topic?Let's be brutally honest for a moment, shall we?
Conservative Christians don't find the practice abhorrent because they CARE one whit about the Muslim women forced to undergo the practice.
NOOOOOOO...they find the practice abhorrent because they have deluded themselves into thinking Liberals find the practice acceptable and they believe they can use the subject to their advantage in order to beat up Liberals.
Yep, I bet yer one of the cool kids there in the backwoods of Mississippi.Can we retire "wow, just wow..."? Now please.
How ten years ago is that one? That is up there with kool kid spurt running on here to say "I see what you did there..."
I can't even believe I come here. Me, who defines cool.
Show me where she apologies for them?

It's one of the worst. I think I might even prefer a facepalm.
But it's close.
Education is what it's all about. People who spend their time trying to end FGM say that it's the only thing that can work to stop it. You can't just persuade people that it's wrong, without a foundation of education leading up to that.
We've had our own things in the U.S. People forget - it wasn't that long ago that we had slavery, and there are still people alive today who lived through the civil rights movement. Some of the atrocities in the south were horrific, and most were done (of course) with Christianity & the cross as a backdrop.
"Education is what it's all about.".....So FGM can be stopped by education, huh....Thats the second of third time thats been said.....So YOU be the teacher,
exactly.....EXACTLY what is the education you'd like to make available to the Muslims, especially the men, that you think would be beneficial in stopping FGM....
Enlighten us, Thingy1.
I wonder how much time and money these bloviators are contributing to end such practices in those patriarchal societies. Because, bravo, stargazer and the rest, this isn't an Islamic practice, it's a fear-based belief of middle eastern and african conservative men who must stem female sexuality at all costs.
Now that is an interesting post....." it's a fear-based belief of middle eastern and african conservative men who must stem female sexuality at all costs."........
You say that in a derogatory way and claim that is what I BELIEVE....I'm even more interested in what you believe.
Just to be clear....I don't care where the men live, Africa or the ME, or even that they might be liberals and not conservatives.....those factors are irrelevant to the issue, aren't they....
SO.....if not to " stem female sexuality at all costs.".....pray tell....just WHAT is the purpose of FGM ? Why is it done to female children, 7 or 8 years old.....?
I can't wait for this ........
and as long Rana thanked you for the post....she can give us views on the question too....stay with the topic.

While you're entitled to your own opinions; you're not entitled to your own facts.
Its refreshing to see the total acceptance by liberals, of a culture, and yes, a religion that practices what is listed below again, to refresh your memory.....
Truly amazing.....such tolerance and understanding (unlike what is shown to Christians).....9/11 and the thousands of other murders committed in Islams name, but a foggy memory, .....
- flogs sodomites,
- executes raped women for having had sex outside of marriage,
- forbids females from showing their face, much less their fundamentals,
- virtually enslaves women inside their own homes by forbidding them to walk in public without the accompaniment of a male relative,
- displays the height of patriarchy in its polygamous culture,
- essentially forbids musical instruments of any kind, much less Western rock-n-roll,
- denounces not only hard drugs, but even the use of alcohol as a violation of morality.
- permits, indeed, tacitly encourages, the removal of every young girl's clitoris by the age of seven without benefit of anesthesia.
I'm totally in awe of such hypocrisy.....
Christians get more grief, condemnation and ridicule from the left for displaying a Nativity scene, once a year, than the people that have been
doing the above for centuries are treated with tolerance....
It's really funny the lengths these liberals will go to defend such a violent and hateful religion. If I posted a long diatribe on how bad christians are, I have no doubt in my mind it would have been thanked by christie, darla, and rana.
I think for a lot of people, criticizing christians is just a roundabout way of putting down redneck idiots. (which I also love to do) but when you push them to criticize other religions in the world, they recoil in fear. Afterall, "the rednecks hate the brown people! "I have to go for the second option bias and defend a violent oppressive religion because I cant agree with the conservative idiots in our country!"
it's pathetic and sad.
