Female Circumcision

I thought I only wanted to take a peep today, but seeing this, wow! how could I just leave this alone?

Well in this era of globalisation, my dear Israfil, what you stated above is not only wrong, but full of ignorance. Perhaps it applies to uneducated women wherever they are.

The reason why men cheat is because humankind do not follow the command of God AlMighty, that is men were not given their right. Like it or not Allah had given permission for men to have four wives but with conditions attached of course. If they satisfy these conditions, cheating and fornication I believe will be much much less.

(I am sure I am poking a hornet's nest )

Angela give me a break!

 this thread is not about who cheats more its about making blanket statements without proof, quite the same with Nur who has made a statement about the libido based on her own cultural experiences. She lacks scientific evidence as well as Islamic evidence. It is already understood that clipping the the clitoris does not necessitate a reduction in the libido nor does it mean it will decrease sexual drive (in the sense that one will have more sexual partners). Having an enlarged clitoris does not mean one will have more sex or have the urge to commit haram acts. Any community regardless of geographical location is backwards in my opinion if they teach their people this kind of nonesense.

Who is to decide whether a certain size of the clitoris means she hs to circumcize herself male scholars? Human beings need to come down from the trees and actually pick up a book. I'm getting frustrated in repeating myself.

Nur your post is an example of male dominance......

This is nonsensical garb.

Men and women cheat for a variety of reasons. If you took the religious view yes men and women cheat because they don't heed the commands of God but this is not a valid explanation. What about people with exhibitionism who in fact are diagnosed with a disorder who are compelled (quite different than voluntarily acting) to have sex with multiple people? Are people with mental disorders sinful because they don't listen?

Like it or not Allah had given permission for men to have four wives but with conditions attached of course. If they satisfy these conditions, cheating and fornication I believe will be much much less.

What does this have to do with the cliping of the clitoris? Again this discussion is not about cheating its about an idiotic practice that has no medical merit? It's one thing to circumcize the male (because men are born with foreskin who, if left unkept can become very unhygenic) but another to clip the female because her clitoris is enlarge its a dumb reason I'm sorry. I would be damned if some Sheikh or scholar said her behavior of having multiple partners is the result of her enlarged clitoris....Come on people wake up

EDIT*****

So as to not sound mean this is not directed at anyone here in particular but those groups that endorse bad medical practice that has no merit in religious medicine
