"Pamela Geller gives us the easy answer ? an answer you shouldn?t hold your breath waiting to hear on Anderson Cooper, Geraldo or Pierce Morgan, since uncomfortable answers can?t be given when pertinent questions are never asked in our mainstream media. Geller affirms that this Islam-denial coverage of FGM in Asia News ?is just more whitewashing of Islam?s human rights abuses.? She points out that FGM is ?fundamentally Islamic? and cites its foundation in Islamic texts such as Umdat al-Salik:
?Circumcision is obligatory (O: for both men and women. For men it consists of removing the prepuce from the penis, and for women, removing the prepuce (Ar. Bazr) of the clitoris.? Sacred Islamic Reliance: page 59, Umdat al-Salik (?Reliance of the Traveler?), a manual of the Shafi?i school of Islamic jurisprudence, endorsed by Egypt?s very own Al-Azhar University of Cairo ? the oldest and most prestigious university in the Islamic world.
FGM is indeed fundamentally Islamic. Why would it not be when one of Sunni Islam?s ?Four Great Imams,? Ahmad ibn Hanbal, quotes Muhammed as saying: ?Circumcision is a law for men and a preservation of honour for women?? Perhaps this is why Sheikh Muhammad Sayyed Tantawi of Egypt?s Al-Azhar University has called circumcision ?a laudable practice that did honor to women.?
"Even when the Egyptian government tried to ban FGM back in 1996, an Egyptian court overturned the ban in July 1997 because of the ferocious uprising it sparked among Islamic clerics, who fervently pointed to Islamic teachings to make sure this crime against women remained firm in place."
