Wondering

Tuesday, February 20, 2001 - 08:37 am
What is the history behind it?
Are you for it or against it?
Is it Islamic or Un-Islamic?
What are the possitive sides of it?
What are the negative outcomes?
Would you perform it for your daughters?
Would you merry a girl that is not circumcised?
Is it only done in Somalia or many other countries?
****and here is the big question****
What do you think should be done to end it or eliminate it?

Explain your answers.

Please, we want possitive feed back. Save your negative ones to your self. We dont want to hear it.

Thanks in advance,
Sincerely yours,
Wondering

To wondering:

A) It is an ancient rite, adopted from the ancient Pharoes. Since the males, used go on wars with Syria, they left for long period of time, they found their females copulating with slaves from previous wars. Hence they came up with this system to control their women.

B)Absolutly against it.

C)Is Un-Islamic. No where in Islam does it state or condone such an act. Read (A).

D)In conjuction with virginity, it stops young girls from indulging in sex prior to marriage. If it had no positive side, our society would have droped it long time ago.

E) permanent damage, physical and psychological. Hemorreging, infections, difficulty in child bearing.... the list goes on.

F)No I wouldn't, and I would advice any other idiot not to..

G) Definitely yes, she has to be virgin thought. Now thats another story all together.

H) Somalia, Kenya (somalis), Ethiopia (somalis), Sudan, Egypt..

I)Education, I mean once the vail of ignorance is removed people can see it themselves the damage. Explaining to people the origin (A), Un-Islamic (C) and Negative outcomes (E).

---- What I really dislike is, the so called somali Super Models, who discuss this in western Television, meant for western people who do not understand the origin nor intensity this rite is intergraded in our society. They might believe they are educating the somalis, rather they are insulting us infront of those who see as nothing more than "savage animals".

It is a barbaric practice that a humane person finds it as an invasion of one's rights. As a man, I vow never to circumicise my children. If Allah can't create perfection I dont want to be his surgeon.

This is for NINXOON
you are a bad example for (somali men)
I feel sorry for your daughters that is if you have any .....you have to understand first .. It use to be done thinking of the parents that well save there beloved daughters of any sexual harassment ...they did it caze of love for them and to protect their future... they did it because they did not have enough education (not that you have any ether) ....not like to slave them as you will do to your poor daughters

I have not had it done but my mum is constantly on my back saying that I will bring shame to the family. I am so happy that it hasn't been done to me cos I know the pain it causes and I give praise to my father for standing up to my mother in what must be a really sensitive topic. And as for the whole thing of protecting a girls chastity I know I will be a virgin till the day I get married!!! But we don't have the right to do this to females because if a girl does have sex before marriage then it is up to Allah (SWT) to deal with her. Man was given free choice and so Allah will reward and punish us based on our actions.
I know that there will be some immature people (NINXOON.. The name says it all!!!) that will have something to say about the fact that I haven't been Circumcised but who cares because in the view of Islam I have done nothing wrong and that's all that matters. Ignorance is a dangerous thing but it will always be around and the only way to beat it is to know our deen, we must never be afraid to put religion before tradition.

TO THE FIRST ANON AND LOVELY LADY
I JUST EXPRESSED MY OPINION ABOUT THE FEMALE CIRCUMCISING, SO DON'T ATTACK ME FOR DOING SO...
BELIEVE I NEVER USED TO FEEL THIS WAY ABOUT IT, BUT AFTER WITNESSING ALOT OF UNPLEASANT EVENTS CONCERNING SOMALI GIRLS IN THE WEST, I HAVE CHANGED MY STAND ON THE ISSUE DRASTICALLY AND PERMANENTLY.

TO THE SECOND ANON
WHAT DO U KNOW ABOUT MY EDUCATION..AS FAR AS AS I'M CONCERN YOU NEED TO BE CIRCUMISICED IMMEDIATELY...CONTACT ME AND I WILL ARRANGE IT FOR U ..I WILL EVEN PICK UP THE TAP.....

Sirrus you most welcome....I am a one to give credit where it's due...I can only wish we as people learn to support our fellow brothers and sisters then maybe we can move beyond this "Berlin wall" we have in our path...Instead of putting each other down when one falls or trips along the way...Advice each other if one is in fault or praise each other if one has done good....a wise person one said "Together we are Stronger...Divided we Fall" lets Follow that Moto in life... " One small step for man One Giant step for men kind"

Peace

Why remove something that you're born with and that is ment to be there?? If it wasn't ment to be there, why did God create you that way then??
Why remove the important "joy-button" and make
her a 1/2 woman?? Not to mention the pain!!
Why fumble with God's perfect creation??
Cut the man's penis head off, then at least they would know what it's all about....

I am against somali genital cuts but as far as religion concerns I am for it. Somali tradition stich the whole genital that is inhuman act. Sunni you are required to cut part of genital for her sake and her family.

Im still ttrying to track down the guy who done that to me............He was Fat, Ugly smelly Middle aged man who had no remorse for the way he scared me for the rest of my life.

I blame the parents from the 70/80's actually for not knowing the Diin enough to diffrentiate between Farl and Sunna.

If I have a daughter Inshallah I will not make her go through the same predicament.

Stitching up somebody like that is totally wrong and it will not stop them from having sex, infact it works the other way around.
