Er det vanlig med omskjæring av kvinner

[keinstein]

i Irak?

En iraker og hans norske venninne som har vært der, sier det ikke forekommer, og at det er en primitiv skikk i Afrika og Midtøsten.

Jeg finner ikke noe stoff om det, men en annen sier det er ganske vanlig.

Helsepersonell i Norge sier ja, det er meget vanlig.

[Gjest ikke så vanlig]

Jeg kjenner folk fra Pakistan, Libanon, Egypt, Marokko, Tunisia og Algerie, Irak og Iran.

Alle er muslimer.

Ingen av disse har personlig kjennskap til denne skikken.

Somalia er et land f.eks hvor dette praktiseres, slik jeg har forstått det er det uavhengig av religion.

Det forekommer altså blant kristne, katolikker, og muslimer, men stort sett i afrikanske land utfra det jeg har lest meg til.

"Yet along with 39 other villages in this region that Iraq's Kurds have named Germian (meaning hot place), Hasira and its people have become noted for presenting the first statistical evidence in Iraq of the existence of female circumcision, or female genital mutilation (FGM), as critics call it.

"We knew Germian was one of the areas most affected by the practice," says Thomas von der Osten-Sacken, director of a German nongovernmental organization called WADI, which has been based in Iraq for more than a decade.

Of 1,554 women and girls over 10 years old interviewed by WADI's local medical team, 907, or more than 60 percent, said they had had the operation. The practice is known to exist throughout the Middle East, particularly in northern Saudi Arabia, southern Jordan, and Iraq. There is also circumstantial evidence to suggest it is present in Syria, western Iran, and southern Turkey.

But while this practice was suspected in the region, there was never solid proof that the procedure was so prevalent."

""They say the food an uncircumcised woman cooks is unclean," says Shirin Ali, "and that a circumcised girl has more affection for her family."

WADI workers said that four months ago in a village just north of Hasira, a newly married - and uncircumcised - woman was so badly treated by her in-laws that she performed the operation on herself."

[Mrs. Wallace]

I de fleste land hvor kjønnslemlestelse praktiseres, vil man treffe en mengde folk som benekter det.

"Inngrepet utføres i omtrent 30 land i Afrika og deler av Asia, og kan ikke knyttes til noen spesiell religion. "

"Most imams are cooperative," she notes. "The biggest obstacle remaining is the older generation of women."

jeg vet.

To kompiser i Marokko ble muslimer pga fire gamlingers terror. De skulle gifte seg med "muslimske" kvinner.

Gamlingene tror gutta er omskjært fikk jeg vite nå. Men det er de ikke. Likevel er de ikke "ekte muslimer" bare noen usle konvertitter. Gamlingene vet heller ikke at ingen går i moskeen. Koranen er normalt mellomlegg mellom veggen og en skranglende air-condition-maskin. Bønneteppet og visse klær tas bare fram når de er på besøk. Livet er et spill.

Før i tida måtte de også bære TV'en til et annet rom, men ikke nå lenger.

Naboen banker fremdeles kjerring og unger så det høres over hele nabolaget. De andre kvinnfolka i nabolaget får fremdeles ikke lov å se på TV.
