“Treat it as you would any other form of child abuse.” Yes. Cultural and/or religious freedom are not acceptable excuses for child abuse. There are no excuses.https://twitter.com/5_News/status/1091412863376375808 …

Cultural practices and some religions can change but, unfortunately, rigid ideological doctrines like Islam cannot be changed. They can only be rejected, in part or in full.

Give me a break!!! Tell that to the millions of
#muslim girls who are undergoing FGM in Indonesia and Malaysia. Maybe a mild form of#fgm but it is happening nonetheless. For those following the Shafi'i school it is considered obligatory (wājib).#islam#honour1 reply 0 retweets 3 likes -

Considered wajib based on what?

It's based on the Sunnah of Muhammed. You can research this yourself. With growing piety amongst Asian
#muslims, the practice of#fgm is increasing. The Shafi'i school of Islamic jurisprudence is followed by the majority of#muslims in Somalia, Ethiopia, Yemen and Asia.3 replies 0 retweets 4 likes -

It is misinterpretation of Islam. Sunnah is based on hadiths which were written some 300 years after the death of Prophet. I am a follower of very progressive Shi’a sect of Islam and hence my ignorance about such nonsense practices.

Ok. Shias are already only about 10% of Muslims. And you follow a progressive sect that is likely a fraction of that. Do you think it’s logical for you to proclaim what is or isn’t Islamic based on your tiny minority? This is a global problem w the majority of mainstream Muslims.

And even if one girl is mutilated based on the Hadith and recommendations from scholars then it’s an issue that needs to be addressed forcefully.
