Dad stands trial over daughter's mutilation
A father stands accused of the unthinkable: brutally cutting his daughter's genitals.The girl was only 2.
Monday, activists from all over the world will be focused on a Gwinnett County courtroom as Khalid Adem, accused of cruelty to a child and aggravated battery for allegedly circumcising his daughter, goes on trial.
Adem, 30, was charged with aggravated battery and cruelty to children more than three years ago and, if convicted, could face 40 years in prison. He was born in Ethiopia, where circumcision is a common procedure for young girls.
Adem's trial may be a landmark case for health and human rights activists fighting against the African custom they call genital mutilation. But for those close to the victim, this trial is about vindication and healing for a little girl who was forced to endure unbearable pain.SOURCE
This seems to be practiced among Muslims in Egypt,Ethipoia,Malaysia,Indonesia just to name a few. Many Muslims claim there is know justification for this in the Quran or the Hadiths. They are almost correct. It is mentioned once in a Hadith by Ahmad ibn Hanbal which says "Circumcision is a law for men and a preservation of honour for women." (5:75)" There is no other mention of this. But to alot of Muslims that is all it takes. One mention of something and it is taken literally. They do not take things in to consideration as being something historical as Jews and Christians do. Everything is Literal and met for all time. Until this stops we will always have jihad.
