Another Brutal Practice of Islamic Extremists...

Iraq is facing a radical Isis-led insurgency, with Mosul and other cities in the north-west under militant control.

The ritual cutting of girls' genitals is practised by some African, Middle Eastern and Asian communities in the belief it prepares them for adulthood or marriage.

FGM poses many health risks to women, including severe bleeding, problems urinating, infections, infertility and increased risk of newborn deaths in childbirth.

The UN General Assembly approved a resolution in December 2012 calling for all member states to ban the practice.

Earlier, Ms Badcock warned that the alleged Isis edict could affect nearly four million women and girls in and around the northern Iraqi city of Mosul.

The UN's resident and humanitarian co-ordinator in Iraq said the practice "is something very new for Iraq... and does need to be addressed".

She was talking to reporters via video link from the Kurdish provincial capital, Irbil.

There is some questions as to the validity of the allegation the ISIS has issued an edict all females between 11 and 46 years of age undergo the procedure in the northern city of Mosul to.

Given the radical nature of Islam and the basic lack of respect for women among the Islamic extremists the allegation is certainly quite possibly true.

    You are right... there is a strong correlation between this practice, and the worship of the Muslim god. It is even "prevalent" in the most populous Muslim nation, Indonesia.

      Or the "equal pay" sham which is nothing more than demanding employers pay women extra... above the earned wages wage, which tends to be based on experience/etc and not gender bias. Those who blubber about the imaginary "war on women" in the US demand this.... trying to increase the divide between wages and the work done.

    Leftist often talk about cults, most notably when a person authors a philosophy they disagree with yet the philosophy gains millions of advocates.

    Islam is nothing more that a dark, menacing, and destructive philosophy that also assigns women second class standing. It is not a religion. It is the largest cult the world has ever known and thanks to the militarist savage mohamed (piss be upon him) the west is threatened by this cultist ideolody and if it continues on its present path of appeasement and in some cases leftist openly embracing it as peaceful the entire civilized west will fall to this immoral and violent cult.

    Islam is a real war on women, indeed a war on reason and modern civilization itself

    RN: I have many Muslim friends, and they are peaceful. But most..not all... but most... start venting views that would make Hitler smile if you so much as mention Jewish people.

    I think those who claim the war on women is fake do so out of misogyny. Surely it is a factor. Also, the "war" is, of course, a metaphor, but it is happening. GOP state legislatures have considered and passed more anti-choice bills than ever before as of late, and there is a pay disparity between male and female. These are simply facts.

( Reuters ) - Global leaders on Saturday arranged a round of emergency calls to discuss the twin debt crises in Europe and the United States that are causing turmoil in financial markets . After a week that saw $2.5 trillion wiped off global stock markets, they are under pressure to show political leadership and reassure markets that Western governments have both the will and ability to reduce their huge and growing public debt loads. French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who chairs the G7/G20 group of leading economies, conferred with Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron ahead of a call planned for this weekend by G7 finance ministers and central bankers. "They discussed the euro area and the U.S. debt downgrade. Both agreed the importance of working together, monitoring the situation closely ...

Thoughts On the Civil War and What Precipitated It...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation U S A Purveyor of Truth Over at Contra O'Reilly Will Hart has been running a interesting series on the Civil War and what the primary causes were. Historians continue to disagree with the root, or primary causes. However it is generally accepted among knowledgeable and unbiased experts that slavery had very little to do with the onset of the War Between the States. Causes were primarily economic and constitutional. Will, in his posts has done a good job of pointing this out with supporting documentation. This site offers the following, a July 2013 article by David Hirsch in support of Will Hart's arguments. Arguments this site wholly concurs with. Arthur Hirsch's recent article about the Battle of Gettysburg reveals a disturbing ignorance of the political dynamics that brought this nation to a war that 150 years later remains the most cataclysmic event in our history ("A defining day relived," July 2). It accepts the sh...
