→'Circumcision' is not Mutilation
| Line 150: | Line 150: | ||
The argument that 'Sunnah Circumcision' should be allowed because Male Circumcision is allowed is to argue that because Evil X is tolerated Evil Y should therefore also be tolerated'. The WHO etc should aspire to be consistent by condemning ''both'' practices, not by condoning both. | The argument that 'Sunnah Circumcision' should be allowed because Male Circumcision is allowed is to argue that because Evil X is tolerated Evil Y should therefore also be tolerated'.

NB | '''NB''' - no-one who practices, or defends, FGM refers to what they do as 'mutilation', not even those who infibulate. This is especially so for Muslims, since the Qur'an appears to forbid mutilation ({{Quran|30|30}}, {{Quran|2|195}} - but see [[User:Flynnjed/Sandbox#The Qur.27an Forbids Mutilation|previous section]]). The line which separates ''<nowiki/>'justified intervention'<nowiki/>'' and ''<nowiki/>'mutilation''' is therefore always set somewhere beyond the practice being defended. The fact that a Muslim condemns 'Female Genital Mutilation' but on further discussion, reveal themselves to support 'Female ''circumcision'.'' | ||
