Islam¹s Hatred of the Clitoris

IF YOU HATE WOMEN, and you hate their sexuality, and
you are terrified that you cannot control it, the most
effective thing you can do is to mutilate female sexual
pleasure. This can be done by a sexual lobotomy, which
will destroy an essential and sacred part of a woman¹s
natural makeup. In achieving this feat on all women,
you will become able to ruthlessly dominate them.

That¹s what female circumcision is all about.

It¹s about obliterating the clitoris, or the entire
outer vagina. It is the barbarity that exists where
misogyny festers most: in the Muslim and African world.

...

After infibulation, the small outer opening of the
vagina is the only portion left intact. A tiny piece of
wood or reed is inserted to allow urine and menstrual
blood to seep out. Extra narrowing of the opening is
carried out with stitches, which remain until marriage.
The victim¹s legs are often bound together from hip to
ankle and she is immobile for about a month or two.

This violence has to occur because, in much of the
Islamic world, the female¹s genital area is considered
dirty and unacceptable. For example, in Egypt the
uncircumcised girl is called nigsa (unclean). Thus, it
has to be made "clean."

Many of the victims lose their lives during this
torture ­ which is often inflicted with broken glass.
Many other victims are afflicted with acute and chronic
infections for the rest of their lives.

...

The terror of the circumcision itself tracks its
traumatized victims down like a nightmare. Most, if not
all, of these poor women end up suffering from serious
sexual and/or mental distortions. The mutilation of
their sexual being becomes the epicenter where sex and
violence meet constantly in their lives ­ with them as
victims.

Wedding night is often quite eventful. In some parts of
the Arab and African world, the husband assaults the
wife after the wedding. In Somalia, for instance, the
groom beats the bride with a leather whip. After this
romantic apex, he cuts the sealed vagina with a sharp
scalpel or razor in order to have intercourse. He then
has prolonged repeated intercourse with her for a week
­ to prevent the scarring from closing the vaginal
opening again. During this time the wife must lie still
and not move. Meanwhile, the husband takes the bloody
sharp object, which represents the virginity of his
wife, and makes rounds around the community ­ showing
it off for approval. Scholars such as Raphael Patai and
Vincent Crapanzano have documented these phenomena.

After this honeymoon period, the woman is now, for the
first time in her life, actually recognized as a person
­ because she has become the extension of her husband.
Her status might even improve if she has a child (a
boy). She will be humiliated and shamed, however, if
she has a non-child (a girl).
