I wonder whether we shouldn't display zero tolerance towards FGM every day, of course. Apparently the NHS treats a victim every day in this country, and we still haven't managed to secure a prosecution. I suppose arresting barbarians wielding knives is racist.

Religion rules by fear. The muslims are just a little more medieval in their approach. If we regarded all of them for what they are, basically a ****ing protection racquet, we'd get a lot further. BTW, does this mean that tomorrow we go back to tolerating FGM?Quote:

Yes, I wondered about that. Of course, looking at the number of prosecutions for the offence, it would appear that we do tolerate it, yes.Quote:

Mind you, I had my son circumcised, Charles. You don't want to send me to jail, do you? :-(
