.@EllisonCampaign was caught on tape admitting he won't enforce laws passed by Republicans! Doug Wardlow will enforce the law and protect and defend all Minnesotans. #VoteWardlow #MNAGpic.twitter.com/poyuctu4dX
The person who tweeted re: female circumcision blocked me, I think, but: Neither Sharia nor the Quran mentions or calls for female genital mutilation. It predates Islam, surviving as a cultural custom in some countries that Islam entered.

It’s cultural and religious. Some Muslim scholars do say that the practice is Islamic.

I call it cruelty

There are Muslims scholars against FGM, too. Like a lot of things, there is a range of thought.
-
Yes, context-wise (I forget if all this is in one thread or if the current tweet is on a sub-sub-thread) but this started w/ me arguing that people shouldn’t worry that electing Muslims will bring on Sharia law & eventually morphed into ‘Sharia law doesn’t entail FGM’.
-
Interpretations of Sharia vary, though. There’s at least one school of jurisprudence recommending FGM.
-
Does this seem accurate? “Shafi'i school of Islamic thought considers FGM to be obligatory. While the Hanbali, Maliki & Hanafi school of Islamic laws consider FGM to be recommended (or preferred). Altho, relig. views... influenced the practice of FGM, it ... predates Islam.”
