 But FGM is not an ethically neutral act, such as the Eucharist - swallowing a wafer - or Baptism - sprinkling water on a baby's head. FGM is an act of mutilation and torture carried out on a child. 'Allowing' is no more the appropriate base-line for such an act than it would be for child sexual abuse, rape or murder.
+Thus the fact that not all Muslims practice FGM does not mean FGM is un-Islamic. It is a consequence of some schools allowing FGM, others recommending it, and others mandating it. That some communities, where they have the freedom to choose, have historically chosen not to engage in FGM does not alter the fact that Islam's basic position of ''allowing'' FGM, makes FGM Islamic. Likewise a legal system does not need to make child sexual abuse ''compulsory'' for it to be defined as being favourable to child sexual abuse - it is sufficient that it ''allows'' child sexual abuse to earn itself that label.

-Imagine a religion that has three different schools - one school merely tolerates CSA , another recommends it and another makes it mandatory
-Is it surprising that in the society that makes it mandatory there will be very high rates of child sexual abuse? in the society which recommends it that the rates will be very high, but lower than where it is compulsory? And where it is merely tolerated the rates will be lower, but still higher than in a society that prosecutes and stigamatises child sexual abuse – since that minority of people predisposed to engage in CSA will have licence to do so.
-Except that no parent has a predisposition to gratuitously mutilate their child's genitals - an act that goes against the profoundest instincts of not just parents, not just humans, but all nurturing animals.
-Islam sows the seeds of FGM - some seeds fall on stony ground, some fall on rich soil – in some places the seed will grow, in others it won't. But the sower is culpable in that this is a are seed that should never be sown in the first place – and pointing out that there are places where the seed has not taken does not exculpate the sower.
