Frankly, there is no hadith or Qur’anic verse saying anything about female circumcision. And I believe it would actually fall under the category of haraam (forbidden), because it is (as I understand it, please correct me if I’m wrong)a harmful and painful practice. Many muslims even believe that tattoos are forbidden, because they involve self-mutilation. In the Middle Eastern countries you speak of, most ‘Islamic’ leaders actually have little or no knowledge of their religion. It’s a sad case of messed-up individuals using religion to triumph over uneducated people.
