Isis 'orders female genital mutilation' for women in Mosul

[sconosciuto]

The UN says militant Islamist group Isis has ordered all women and girls in Mosul, northern Iraq, to undergo female genital mutilation (FGM).

UN official Jacqueline Badcock said the fatwa, or religious edict, applied to females between the ages of 11 and 46.

She said the unprecedented decree issued by the Islamists in control of the city was of grave concern.

Iraq is facing a radical Isis-led Sunni insurgency, with cities in the north-west under militant control.

The ritual cutting of girls' genitals is practised by some African, Middle Eastern and Asian communities in the belief it prepares them for adulthood or marriage.

The UN General Assembly approved a resolution in December 2012 calling for all member states to ban the practice.

Ms Badcock, the UN's resident and humanitarian coordinator in Iraq, said the practice "is something very new for Iraq... and does need to be addressed", addressing reporters via video link from the Kurdish provincial capital of Irbil.

"This is not the will of Iraqi people, or the women of Iraq in these vulnerable areas covered by the terrorists," she added.

Isis militants seized Mosul, Iraq's second largest city, in June, and have since taken over areas of the north-west and closed in on cities near Baghdad.

Quid pro quo; I'll answer after you answer my question. Have you recently met the president, and is it true you're the son of the new ambassador?

I've never met the President nor do I want to. As for the new Ambassador I've never even met Him let alone Him being My Father


My question to You is why are You always a proponent of death, misery and destruction in the Muslim world which is exactly what the Zionists want?

That's a new question. For the earlier question, does the following thread satisfy you as the answer?

Why would a respectable and independent organization like the UN engage in spreading outright lies?

Looks like the BBC has backtracked the allegation:

Doubts grow over Isis 'FGM edict' in Iraq
Doubts are growing about the authenticity of an edict attributed to the Sunni Islamist group Isis controlling the Iraqi city of Mosul about female genital mutilation (FGM).

This means anything negative about the IS reported by Western media could be outright lies.
