 ====There is no record of Muhammad having his wives or daughters circumcised====
-There is no record of many things which are justified or required by Islamic law. For example there is no record of Muhammad undergoing circumcision himself, or having his sons circumcised.
+There is no record of Mohammed having practiced many things which are justified or required by Islamic law. For example there is no record of Muhammad undergoing circumcision himself, or having his sons circumcised. Nor is there record of Muhammad limiting himself to just four wives.
-Indeed, Muhammad would not have needed to command or require the circumcision of his wives, since females in Mohammed’s circle would have been circumcised in childhood. In the [[User:Flynnjed/Sandbox#Someone to Amuse Them|hadith narrated by Umm ‘Alqama]] the persons being cut are clearly children. The hadith '[[User:Flynnjed/Sandbox#Do not cut .22severely.22|do not cut severely]]' and '[[User:Flynnjed/Sandbox#One Who Circumcises Other Ladies|One who circumcises other ladies]]' suggest that the actual procedure was performed by women, not men.

In the [[User:Flynnjed/Sandbox#Someone to Amuse Them|hadith narrated by Umm ‘Alqama]] the persons being cut are clearly children and the function of Islamic FGM (see [[User:Flynnjed/Sandbox#The sociology of FGM|The Sociology of FGM]]) requires that it be prepubescents who are submitted to FGM, not adolescents or adults.
