Girls are being pressured to undergo female genital mutilation (FGM) in British playgrounds, a survivor has warned amid an international crackdown on the practice.
Dr Leyla Hussein, who underwent the procedure when she was seven years old in Somalia, said pressure was being put on children by their peers as well as relatives.
“Some of my clients are 19-year-old girls who were children or were born in this country,

and they will say they were pressured in a playground in a school in London to go and have it done,” she added, urging people in affected communities to confront the idea of FGM as a “tradition”.
“We really have to be forceful in protecting children, and unfortunately I will be upsetting people but I personally don't care if I'm going to upset some community leader….we cannot tiptoe around it.”

Officers and social workers have been stationed at British and American airports, and on the Eurostar this week as part of a transatlantic operation to prevent families taking children abroad for FGM and help survivors.
An estimated 500 people were spoken to at Heathrow Airport on Thursday alone after arriving on flights from countries where the practice is prevalent, and similar operations are taking place at Gatwick, Manchester and Luton.

The operation, codenamed Limelight, has also been carried out at New York's JFK Airiport after American authorities signed a “proclamation of interagency support” for FGM investigations with the UK.

IDGAF what you want to put over your head, or what sky overlord you want to lick butt to - I'd rather you didn't at all but okay, or what dietary hoops you want to jump through.
But cutting up children's privates is a heinous monstrosity of a crime, whether you are a resentful midwife from a shithole country, a "doctor" triggered by ambiguous genitalia, or just someone obsessed with religious entry requirements.

"You" as in "someone", not as in "particularly exactly you".
Anyways, moderate Islam isn't any worse than any other moderate sky daddy fetish. It's the extremists and the

feeble-brained idiots that need to be kept on a short leash. Don't need to be a muslim to fall in either of those two categories either.

The important takeaway, like someone already mentioned, is that just because something is a culture doesn't mean it can't be criticized.
That being said, idiots going around attacking all of a group that share a culture prevent any actual progress being made to stop dangerous cultural acts such as genital mutilation and the obstruction of Human Rights.
