If islam is not evil why is this child abuse popular in many islamic countries?
Note the figures (this is not the odd nutter) and many mullars push it and insist it must be done.
these figures are the whole of the female population think how many millions that is. (source amnesty International)
Egypt 97% Clitoridectomy, excision, and infibulation
Ethiopia 90%
Nigeria 50%
Somalia 98% Infibulation
Virtually all Somali women are genitally mutilated. There is no law specifically prohibiting FGM.
and thats just a few.

Note the percentages of the population this is done to. Look up how many live there, polulation wise to get an idea of the scale of this and also which countries (ie some popular tourist spots)
Even if not in the koran why support it... Likewise why did Mohummed have a 9 year old wife?

Keiliko and bio...
You need to read the posts...
What I am refering to is not abuse behind closed doors that if its caught the kid is rescued and the abuser punished.
But a system where the abuse is legal, enforced and girls who try and escape it are punsihed often killed.
Thats the difference you ain't got between the west and islamic countries...
Ie it may occure but here its illegal and seen as evil not enforced and seen as purity.
Likewise these paactices tend to be in islamic countries so why are they supported and not wipeed out so anyone who so much as says they support fgm, forced arranged marraige, stoning girls for making love or walking in the street etc... How come they aint the ones killed?
Why is not equility enforced instead and families wanting theier kids to fall in love and be happy even if gay?

IN ISLAM HER VICTEM WOULD HAVE BEEN ARRESTED FOR COMPLAINING, FOR BRINGING DISHONOUR BY SPEAKING OUT AGAINST THE ABUSE, THE NEIGHBOURS WOULD HAVE HELPED CAPTURE HER TO RETURN HER TO THE ABUSE AND CALLED HER WICKED FOR NOT TAKING...
OR IT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE RELGIOUS POILICE DOING IT, OR SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN ABUSED IN PUBLIC
THATS THE POINT YOU CAN'T GET
ITS NOT THE ABUSE OCCURS, BUT THAT ITS ACCEPTED AND ENFORCED BY THOSE WHO SHOULD BE STOPPING IT.

They reason for this that woman are considered subservient and are not to have any pleasure, but the pleasure should be reserved for the man only. Woman is just baby making machines.
Animals, in particular dogs are treated even worse. To stone a dog to death is a sport and even children participate in it. Actually stoning is quite gentle, to the pulling of teeth, cutting the tongue..
Strange thing is that nothing is said of this in the Koran.
The Koran is written in an ancient Iranian language, which is not spoken today. Mullahs have to learn the text of by heart in the original language, without understanding it. The meaning is handed down by word of mouth and some written phrases, which can be interpreted in many different ways. Than is what the mullahs do, they add their own interpretations which are then handed down form Mullah to Mullah. There are as many different interpretations as they are Muslim countries. So one bad apple, one bad translation well we see the result today.
Mullahs are appointed at a very early age ( we are talking very young boys), so not decided by maturity or compassionate nature . There understanding of value and anything is to say the least incompetent to make any judgement or give advice. All you need is one guy who hates woman, to bring about changes in the interpretations to the next one. In time people believe, that that supposed to be the fundamental teachings.
In Christianity we have seen similar things, during the middle ages, the persecution of witches and other inhumane treatment of woman including nuns.
Fundamental teaching, the principal teaching of the Koran is actually Love, Peace, and Compassion for all beings. So how the heck they managed to mess this one up, I have no idea. The individual ( they are not all the same) Mullahs have added extreme prejudice and hatred into their teachings. Even the teachings that says anyone who does not believe in the Koran the word of Allah, is an imbecile, and should be treated with less respect than a dog ,see above, is a bit weird. I think that was another false interpretation or rather an added ruling, to force the believe onto people. Make them live in fear to believe.
Perhaps one should dig out an old copy of “The Satanic Verses” by Salmon Rushdie. Read it only after dark under the covers, as otherwise some Muslim may declare the death sentence on you. LOL
Do we not see some of this extreme preaching in the evangelical churches in America?

Child abuse is a horrible thing, in any country or culture.
Luckily, MOST societies have advanced to the point where they strive to protect a child's physical and psychological development. That's why we set age limits on sexual constent. We understand how intercourse between a child and an adult can damage a child's psyche and attitudes towards sexual relations, and destroy that person's ability to be truly intimate with a partner/spouse in the future. Even if a child "consents" to sexual relations with an adult/relative, it is not really consent at all. This is why we consider it to be RAPE, and also have laws against incest.
-
From what I understand, the purpose of female circumcision is to prevent a girl from experiencing an orgasm. If they can't enjoy sex, then *supposably* they'll be less likely to want it. This seems to imply that females cannot be trusted to control themselves. What's strange is that you never hear about boys having the heads of the penises chopped off to prevent them from enjoying sex.
From my experience, it is us males who "want it" much more, and more often, than females. It is most certainly a double standard which appears quite hypocritical.
-
What we have to try to understand is that most Muslims rely entirely on their "Qur'an" (Muslim Bible), the "Hadiths" (instructions on how to interpret the Qur'an, and auxillary stories), and the advice of their Imams (Muslims priests).
They believe "the only laws we need are those found in the Qur'an and Hadiths". The problem is that these are ancient documents, dating back over 1000 years. They contain several scientific errors and barbaric traditions. We've come a LONG WAY since then, and we try to adapt our laws and beliefs accordingly. We don't use the Bible to legislate what the age of consent should be, or how many wives a person should have.
-
Maybe someday most Muslims will join us here in the 21st century, and stop supporting violence against people who oppose their outdated ways. THEN perhaps they can justify calling Islam a "religion of peace and mercy"

Wow..This is very interesting. But let us take it one by one and I hope you can get the full picture:
1- Female Genital: The statistics you included is for Africa only and Islam is spreaded more than this. This matter was performed under the social (Not religious) impression that it would help in reducing desires in a female as people and again socially used to believe that woman is the source of evil. This is older than Islam historcally.
2-Adultery punishment is stonning and this applied to Males and Females actually, because it is God command. If the law say it way not to apply it very similar to excuting killer. Do you question why to kill who kills?. Adultery Punishment in Judism is stonning also!!
3-Egyptain is among those countries that really have a birth rate that outstands Europe rate and again society is different as in Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, and Pakistan this is not done, so you are just generalizing and in Egypt in particular this is done to Christians girls as well because again it is the society.
I really sorry for not being able to go through the rest, because I am busy now, yet you can IM me anytime

I agree with the individual being evil, not the religion. One's choices reflect their moral. Religion is only a belief to which people base their lives upon, and it may be twisted to any degree, for better or worse.
Saying that Islam is evil because people who believe in it do horrible things is stepping along the lines of bigotry and prejudice, is it not? Look at the U.S. for example. We have tons of child abuse here as well, along with sexual predators, child molesters, and other people of the sort. (And most of it's under wraps too, so we're not as exploited as the middle easterners)
You can't tell me Islam is not evil without saying the Christians here are not evil. What about those priests who go and protest the funerals of homosexuals? Or the preachers who sexually molest kids inside church? You can't say the entire Christian faith is evil because there are a few deviants out there. The same goes for Islam.

Islam is not evil. the reason why that child abuse is popular in many muslim countries is the lack of their islamic training. Unfortunately they are not strictly prohibted by these things by their elders but it does not mean that islam teaches children to abuse each other. if the parents would not stop their children on saying such things then they will be inquired by Allah on the day of Dudgment. Allah will ask them that why didn't they stop their children on abusing each other when he had given orders to stop this in His book Quran.
But the ones that follow the true teachings of islam can never use such words that would hurt anybody's feelings
In short Islam is not evil but those who being a muslim do not follow its teachings are evil.
There are two main grades of teaching children in Islam
1- Teach them orally
If they do not follow the right path then
2- Try to teach them by punishment
in order to make them usefull to mankind because childhood is the best learning stage

Whatever the origin of female circumcision, it did not originate in the Islamic tradition, contrary to popular belief. Both Muslims and Christians have circumcised their daughters since early times, and there is considerable evidence that the practice existed long before Christianity and Islam. There is no question that female circumcision preceded Islam in Africa. In relation to Islam there are some sayings of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) which are interpreted differently by Islamic scholars. In one of these sayings the Prophet (PBUH) says to Umm Atteya, "If you circumcise do not go deep (i.e. do not encroach on the clitoris) because it would be useful to the wife and desirable to the husband ". The majority of Islamic scholars doubt the authenticity of these hadiths. This view was supported by the recent declaration of the present Sheikh (head) of Al-Azhar, Sheikh Tantawi, basing his declaration on many references, old and new, and among them some eminent Islamic scholars such as Sheikh Shaltout, a previous head of Al-Azhar.
Additional Info:
Here is a cut and paste from your own website, just to show you that lies and half truths are easy to verify:
Religion
FGM predates Islam and is not practised by the majority of Muslims, but has acquired a religious dimension. Where it is practised by Muslims, religion is frequently cited as a reason. Many of those who oppose mutilation deny that there is any link between the practise and religion, but Islamic leaders are not unanimous on the subject. The Qur'an does not contain any call for FGM, but a few hadith (sayings attributed to the Prophet Muhammad) -which can't be authenticiticated- refer to it. In one case, in answer to a question put to him by 'Um 'Attiyah (a practitioner of FGM), the Prophet is quoted as saying "reduce but do not destroy". Mutilation has persisted among some converts to Christianity. Christian missionaries have tried to discourage the practice, but found it to be too deep rooted. In some cases, in order to keep converts, they have ignored and even condoned the practice.
FGM was practised by the minority Ethiopian Jewish community (Beta Israel), formerly known as Falasha, a derogatory term, most of whom now live in Israel, but it is not known if the practise has persisted following their emigration to Israel. The remainder of the FGM-practising community follow traditional Animist religions.
