If men's are weak, so do genital mutilation in men not in inocent woman.

Women must be mutilated because men are weak? That is a statement by somebody whose mind has been poisoned by religion.

...And yours Fasdunkle must be poisoned by stupidity.

Where in the story you heard anything mentioned about religion?
FGM is an ancient African cultural practice that Egypt has now outlawed.
The MP has embarrassed himself and Egyptian men in one full blow and should be made to apologise to the people of Egypt. Both men and women.

Yes, true. Look at the stats below. Look at the stats below. The first figure is FGM and the second is percentage of Muslims in the country.

FGM Pop
Liberia 66% (35%)
Yemen 23% (99%)
Ethiopia 74% (50%)

Because religion is usually the first place to look when people hold to such ridiculous views

No Fasdunkle.
The literacy rate is usually the first place to look when people hold such ridiculous views.

Perfect answer. It is the literacy rate that can make a huge difference for all peoples of the world and not only Muslims.

So the MP is illiterate?

Is the MP illiterate?

Fasdunkle. ... if you do not know that some of the stupidest remarks spew from the mouths of politicians, you need to leave Xanadu and head back to Earth. Fast!

That clown owes the men and women of Egypt an apology.
Some of the brightest people I've met were Egyptian.

Indeed, I have met several excellent people from Egypt who have cast off the shackles of religion and made their way in the world.

Ironically, I have met them during my travels to Egypt and they were all religious.
Maybe you should save some cash and go educate yourself about different cultures instead of regurgitating what your media tells you about people.

Those "cultures" come to us - we recently had pakistani hate preachers touring mosques in the UK - no muslims protested about it.

Subject those weak men to the removal of their entire genitalia. Save the women.

ctb: cut the balls!!

my god, barbarian!

Was this article meant to defame all Arabs and all Muslims? Who made the determination that the Egyptians are sexually inadequate? FGM is a horrible problem but it is not exclusively an Egyptian problem. Many African countries are also listed exceeding 90% in FGM.

Yes.... and the dramatic picture of weeping women embracing and dressed in black all adds to the sensationalism.
