    If you think female genital mutilation, which predates Islam by about 2000 years, is a "Muslim practice" you've already lost the argument.

        @rezaaslan I don't dispute this but just because a practice predates a belief doesn't mean believers don't support it. like Nazis & genocide

        @rezaaslan we never said that. the practice is a wound from the time when science never existed, and so is Islam and all other religions.
