Isis 'orders female genital mutilation' for women in Mosul
Source: BBC
The UN says militant Islamist group Isis has ordered all women and girls in Mosul, northern Iraq, to undergo female genital mutilation (FGM).
UN official Jacqueline Badcock said the fatwa, or religious edict, applied to females between the ages of 11 and 46.
She said the unprecedented decree issued by the Islamists in control of the city was of grave concern.

21. Tell me, who has the power to stop this horror?
And IF it can be done REALISTICALLY, hey I'm all for it.
But it's a big IF...

34. A sternly worded letter will certainly change their policy! N/t
I can just see Rosie O'Donnell holding one of those signs
Yeah, that's the ticket. Have Mama Obama get a tweet going. How about "#don't slit their clits"

47. Let's hope that ISIS is digging its own grave with its imposition of harsh sharia laws.
It destroys churches and shrines wherever it goes.
It has just run all the Christians out of Mosul (who have been there for 1,700 years).
It executes people for apostasy.
It thrives on brutality and terror.
Let's just combat this by sending Obummer and Moosh over there in Air Force One. Be sure they cross East Ukraine air space..
I think they should send over Sandra Fluke to cry about the war on women and needing free birth control and abortions.
The new age totalitarian can address the old age totalitarians. They both want the government to have control over a woman's body and to punish Christians for not believing what they do.

The Cold War was ending and he needed to create a new enemy. Saddam was a convenient choice. At the time Iraq had a decent standard of living and none of this crap was possible. Now with a million dead Iraqis and with millions of refugees it is only getting worse.

created the framework for this barbarity to happen? God!!!!!! It is OUR governments fault that this is happening. Where is the outrage for that? Four main war criminals, bush, cheney, bremer, rice with a little help from sec def rumsfeld. What a sad statement on the Iraqi democracy WE installed. I am outraged. All these women will suffer needlessly because of PNAC ideology and american greed for OIL. Why are we so quiet about the causes of this barbarity? Sad indeed. There is blood and needless suffering on american hands that can never be cleansed. Sick, depraved and sad.

29. ****ing despicable religious freaks. I HATE fundies.
For those who want to bleat that FGM is cultural, not religious, well **** that. This is clearly fundie religious shitheads.
For too many people FGM is a religious mandate and until folks stop giving this practice even the thinnest veneer of cover by insisting "it's cultural", well this shit by ISIS blows that outta the water.

31. Thanks for NOTHING, Bush, Cheney, & the rest of that rat's nest of war criminals.
At least under Saddam, women had rights & weren't forced into these barbaric "rituals." I remember those lying sacks of sh!t saying that overthrowing Hussein would EXPAND women's rights. I knew that was bullshit, but I didn't anticipate his particular horror. I was thinking women forced into wearing burkas & surrendering their driver's licenses. I guess my mind refused to go there.
I can't think of a more horrific thing to do. I just can't understand how women can do that to each other.

44. Iraq was a secular country before our invasions.
Not just dubya's but all three administration's military and economic aggressions against this country were bullshit. So ****ing sad.
