Re: The Rape of Sweden
Yes, your situation sounds bad. However, male circumcision isn't the same as FGM, where the point is to remove all sexual pleasure from women. Many of these women can't even have sex without excruciating pain, and they're considered the property of their husbands so they are forced into painful situations.
There have been convictions for FGM in the US, one man was sentenced to 15 years in prison for performing FGM with a pair of scissors.
The lack of prosecutions is startling however, and we need federal laws that make it very clear that this barbaric nonsense needs to stop.
What happens is people take their kids and send them to countries where the kids can be mutilated. It is a lot of African immigrants because it is a widespread and backward African tradition. My ex-wife wanted my boys circumcised very much against my wishes when we had separated. She told me they would go back to Africa at some point and locals would hold them down and forcibly circumcise them. I stopped them going while they lived with her but as male circumcision is accepted here in the UK for immigrants and natives, she got it done very much against my wishes.
She's "christian" - nothing muslim about it - it was a cultural decision.
One threatened with prosecution in the UK since 1985, one near prosecution in the US. Worry about your own glass house.
