Female Genital Mutilation is mainly practiced by African and African-Muslim tribes and by a very few misguided ‘religious’ tribes in the Middle East – but this is not reflective of all Middle Eastern cultures by any stretch. Overall, it is an extremely uncommon practice in the Middle East and is generally condemned and even outlawed in many countries. Africa tends to be a whole other story, but FGM was practiced there long before Islam – so it is still not Islam’s ‘fault.’ I have not had FGM performed on me or any of my female ancestors and we orignated from Yemen and Saudi Arabia and are faithful Muslims.
