Washington-Area Mosque Fails to Conceal Continued Misogyny

How honorable does female genital mutilation remain in America?

Last May, Shaker Elsayed — an imam at Virginia’s infamous Dar-al-Hijra (DAH) mosque — ignited a massive controversy by endorsing the practice of female genital mutilation (FGM) during a videotaped sermon. Almost a year later, (and despite the mosque’s effort to appear more moderate), DAH continues to tolerate Islamist misogyny, suppress criticism, and sanction sexist leadership.

FGM is a practice that involves “partial or total removal of the female external genitalia causing injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons.” In a controversial sermon, posted online by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), Elsayed insisted that the custom is “the honorable thing to do — if needed — for the girls. This is something that a Muslim gynecologist can tell you if you need to or not…[Y]ou see in societies where circumcision of girls is completely prohibited, hypersexuality takes over the entire society, and a woman is not satisfied with one person, or two, or three. This, God forbid, is now happening even in Muslim societies where they prohibit circumcision.”

The question:
"How honorable does female genital mutilation remain in America?"

Fishrrman's answer:
Wherever there are mosques and muslims in America, it remains.
