I don't want to come across as over-zealous and impatient, but I have a lot more I hope to contribute on FGM (and possibly eventually on MGM/circumcision). I think that the issue may be better presented over several pages. In the sandbox, I'm currently sketching out something on the social origins of FGM (the hadith that explicitly mention FGM do not alone explain the existence of FGM): Islamic doctrine - especially on polygyny - also creates conditions that are favourable to FGM, that can make FGM (or related practices) 'useful' or even 'necessary'. As far as I can tell, this is a new perspective on FGM (at least I've not read it articulated elsewhere) though it is entirely a product of established and authoritative work on FGM, polygyny and Islam.

:::: is the lead too long? I've tried to introduce the sections in the main body and to relate them to one another a bit, but it looks like a lot of words.
:::: I think the length is fine. I'd say its about as long as a wiki lead can get without being unwieldy. I certainly wouldn't make it any longer is all. Great work.
