    If she was indeed very clear about asking people to support FGM, it just goes to show how stupid people can actually be. Sadly, I think she would have got an even better response in my home town.

    When truth is hurled against falsehood, falsehood perishes, for falsehood by its nature is bound to perish.

    If I was asked this on the street I would simply say no comment.
    Don't want to be accused of stirring up religious hatred or Islamophobia do I?

    Best just side step the issue and go down the pub.
    It's really not my business to interfere with other peoples customs and rituals.

    I mean circumcision has been going on for ages and that is a kind of mutilation.
    No one bats an eyelid about that.

    It might sound a bit hard and uncaring but the change has to come from within the community.
    The last thing these people want to hear is a white man telling them their customs are wrong.

    Eduardo, if no one says anything about those two issues they will never change. Just cause I am 'from the wrong place' does not mean I shouldn't say anything.

    I hear what you are saying but at the moment I am well outnumbered.

    There are a lot more Somali's than whites and I sure am not going to stick my neck out.
    Some of these guys and girls are really tough and war scarred.
    God knows what they have been through.
    Some are totally ignorant and intolerant of other forms of Islam too, for instance they are intolerant of Sufi Islam and Shia.

    If I started speaking out I think I could kiss my job goodbye.
    best just ignore it and leave it to someone else to deal with.
    We are talking my own self preservation here.

    I am pretty sure all the older women have been cut but what they do to their own daughters I just don't know.

    Actually I will rephrase the question.

    Has anybody on this forum reported anyone else for cutting or slicing their kids?

    Has anybody any evidence of the outcome of a reported case of mutilation?

    If so what was the outcome?

    I find the whole  mutilation stuff utterly insane

    It is like removing any other part of it

    Eduardo, you might be saying something very interesting, but you're not helping yourself by being touchy and withholding details that would not compromise you. I don't think GCHQ will monitor this forum and report your unease to your employer.

    Who are they gang at work? How do they behave to you and others? Do they have sympathisers in management? Or is everyone tiptoeing around them in that craven, guilt-ridden British way that sweeps problems under the carpet where they fester and grow? (Excuse shit metaphor.)

    As for reporting people, I have wondered whether I should have followed limping, recently-cut girls in London to see where they lived, and then given the address to the authorities.

    I didn't. Shame on me perhaps.

    The programme on Channel 4 has just been aired.
    http://www.channel4.com/programmes/the-cruel-cut/episode-guide
    Quote
    This passionate and exuberant documentary explores the complex world of FGM, how it could be your neighbour, your colleague or the girl on the bus next to you who could be either at risk or suffering the consequences.

    The Cruel Cut examines the cultural and societal pressures, and how it continues despite being illegal in the UK - there have been no prosecutions although it was made illegal in 1985.

    The documentary follows Leyla's campaign as she and a group of survivors attempt to take their cause to the very top of the government.


    Good fucking work, Leyla Hussein! Afro Afro Afro  and Channel 4 too!

    I'd also like to see the conversations she had with people.  Did she make it clear what they were signing for, was she pushy with people who tried to refuse? 

    She was pushy in favour of FGM -- sugarcoating it and all. I'm not too surprised with the result. Most people don't really think critically. If you sound knowledgeable, smart and persuasive, you can get people to sign any old bullshit petition; particularly if they are knowledgeable on the subject.

    Well that's the other thing I was thinking: who were these people? Were they all Somali Salafis? Were they all white lefties? I have no idea what the population of Northampton is like, or how she selected the people to ask.

    The people who stopped to speak to her were mostly white.

    Do you live in the UK?  Because its been a criminal offense since 1987 to commit genital mutilation on girls.  So what would you do if you heard of any other criminal offense being commited?

    Fucked up indeed. FGM needs to be tackled but MGM also needs a huge amount of awareness.

    Every year there are tens of millions of underage males mutilated for no good reason. Thats child abuse on a massive scale...

    I've never heard of one single conviction so that goes to show how seriously the authorities take it.
    I mean what are social services doing about all this, nothing it seems.

    Depends what the offence is, for instance someone selling a bit of weed or maybe the odd bit of stolen gear I would do nothing.

    It's a difficult one because once you hear the cutting has been done it's already too late and you can't stitch what has been cut back on.
    All you might succeed in doing in splitting up a family.

    Anonymous tip off seems to be the best course of action.

    Just posting a link to this good article on FGM in the UK:

    In my humble opinion, conducting an awareness campaign is the key to tackling FGM in the UK. We already have brave and articulate voices like Leyla Hussein that could front such campaigns, and a number of anti-FGM lobby groups already exist. However, these awareness campaigns need to tailor their messages so that they resonate with members of hard to reach communities in which FGM is widespread. Such messages need to focus on the negative health effects and challenge some of the myths and superstitions that drive the practice.
