Man I was really hoping vile rat got drunk, made an rear end of himself in this thread, and got banned, prompting the new thread title. Man, I want to be angry at the guy who made the video, but then free speech (no matter how unpleasant) and all, but dude, your hate isn't helping. That said, the blame ultimately lies with the attackers.

THE AWESOME GHOST posted:Yes, it's much more common in Egypt than in any other Arabic speaking country. Male circumcision is very common throughout, but FGM is associated more with Africa and several Muslim scholars (including the Dean of Al Azhar) have come out against it. The very little that I know comes from a 30 minute (1 hour?) show I saw on TV in Australia where they were debating whether or not it should be illegal in Australia, etc. It's a pretty complicated issue but in any case, there are varying levels of FGM, with the lightest being a ritual nick where the emphasis is on the symbolism and the tradition surrounding it, up to the full-on mutilation with the stitching and stuff. I don't know what they practice in Egypt nor am I certain what's considered FGM by the UN Declaration. But, I'd just like to point out that it may not be so bad as it sounds that over "90% have undergone FGM". Maybe.

But "full-on" FGM with the stitching and all is not the same as a ritualistic nick that heals with no consequences for the person. I'm not defending the practice but I just think it's important for people to realize that there are different types of female circumcision/FGM, although the majority (in total, not in Egypt) is Type I and II, which are still bad in my opinion. Again, I just don't want people to think that over 90% of Egyptian women have their privates sewn up, as I don't think the Egyptian norm is Type III FGM.

You are the face of the future of true journalism (seriously).

I wonder if there's any comment there about SA's goon adventures in Eve or WoW and how everyone from SA is terrible, etc.
