      Disgusting practice and anyone who carries it out or subjects their kids to it is a savage and should be prosecuted. 6000 cases in Ireland. And that’s just the ones we know about.https://twitter.com/GSpellchecker/status/1046690785368973312 …

      That's a lie. There is a scriptural relationship between Islam and FGM in the hadith. One example: Abu al- Malih ibn `Usama's father relates that the Prophet said: "Circumcision is a law for men and a preservation of honour for women." Ahmad Ibn Hanbal 5:75; Abu Dawud, Adab 16 https://twitter.com/Spoonhead8/status/1046685424993882112 …

      There aren't 6000 cases in Ireland? That's a gross mischarachterisation? Implies 6000 have been cut here. But fig Includes women who have immigrated here but were cut as infants in their home country? @AkiDwA has been doing some great work on targeted intervention and prevention.

      And show me where I said it didn’t include migrants. And don’t shout at me about exaggeration. That’s the IT figure. I didn’t pull it out of the air.

      You called for prosecution and then cited a figure of 6000 cases, Do you believe that the irish government should be prosecuting historic assaults perpetrated on people outside the jurisdiction who at the time of their assaults had no connection to the country?

      NOWHERE did I say anything about whether those cases were cut here or abroad. Must you always nitpick? Can’t you just agree with my original point which is that it’s a savage and barbaric practice? Or at least just leave it?

      Well as you are using a misleading figure to make a point about cases here in relation to prosecution and you clearly don't understand where the figure came from or what it refers to it's kind of problematic. I tried to point you towards somewhere you can learn more but you'd

      Replying to @Maebhcon @AkiDwA

      Why are you nitpicking and obfuscating? Is it because you think pandering to cultural “sensitivities” trumps stopping the slicing off of little kids’ body parts? It’s because you think pandering to cultural “sensitivities” is more important than the safety of kids, isn’t it?

      It is criminalised. It has been a crime since the passage of the FGM act 2012, I criticised Ali Selim for arguing female 'circumcision' should be legal. But community based interventions work and are happening. Which I think is a good thing, knowledge of which should be promoted.

          I’m aware that it’s a criminal offence, as is removing a child from the jurisdiction to facilitate it. And yes, were agreed on interventions etc. I’m just deeply suspicious of any moves towards whitewashing it or excusing it on cultural, or any, grounds. @DrAliselim is a disgrace

          You are also aware there is an ongoing prosecution of two parents? That when cases are brought to light they are prosecuted?

          Go and patronise someone else. You’re an obnoxious troll. OF COURSE I’m aware of that. I’m a criminal lawyer. It’s an absolute travesty that there’s only been ONE out of a potential 6000.
