Should I mutilate my baby?
By Zan Azlee

JUNE 10 — “Hey Zan. Have you considered circumcision for your baby?” a friend asked me recently.

“I don’t think so. She’s a girl,” I replied.

“We’re Muslims and that’s more of a reason to do it then.”

“What do you cut off?”

“The tip of the clitoris.”

“Are you freaking serious? Where do you go to do such a thing?”

“Ask your doctor. They sometimes do it at birth at the request of the parents.”

This is an honest to goodness conversation I had with someone I know. And yes, I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Here we are living in one of the most advanced cities in South-east Asia, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia’s symbol of progress and modernity. [Click to read the full article at The Malaysian Insider]

    • Fatwas are man-made and can be debated and objected. Millions of fatwas have been issued and forgotten. Remember how Iran issued a fatwa calling for the murder of Salman Rushdie for blasphemy? That can’t even be considered legit because Islam doesn’t even recognise the concept of blasphemy.
