daytrip to #battleofideas - stunned by intellects like @juliahobsbawm - surprised to hear @Ed_Husain explain differences between male & female circumcision, enjoyed @GSpellchecker forgetting about surgery & was heartened to hear people passionate about prison @NPorter83

In Africa , cultures practice female circumcision. Less than 10%(see WHO typology) , practice severe forms: Infibulation & Cliteroctomy --North Africa and East Africa . Male & female circumcision , are not prescribed explicitly in the Quran but both are found in the Hadith (1)

Muslims follow different school of thought . There is no authority in Islam to settle disputes so the debate continues.The Maliki jurisprudence view female Circum.. as Makramah for women(Noble),Whereas to the Shafii:)it's Wajib(obligatory)(2)

See also Alex Myers , who is brilliant on the issue of whether there is justification both genders to be Circumcised in Islam (3)
