Well, at least the barbarians support a fellow barbarian. "Female circumcision," the removal of a child's clitoris, is not an Islamic practice per se, but it seems to flourish in Muslim areas of sub-Saharan Africa.
In 2001, a vile Ethiopian immigrant living near Atlanta named Khalid Adem performed a "female circumcision" on his two year-old daughter. He used scissors for the task.
As is common in many child abuse cases, the parents are blaming each other for the brutality. What makes this story unusual is the there was a march in Ethiopia today demanding the release of Adem from prison.
These people are just not like us.
According to AP, the US State Department says 130 million "female circumcisions" carried out worldwide each year.
