Female Genital Cutting FGC Islam and the west
Abstract
كلمات المفاتيح :
This document presents a seminar paper on Female genital cutting (FGC)-Islam and the west. The first part of the paper concerned the relationship between FGC and Islam. The writer argues that although FGC predates Islam and is not exclusively practiced by Muslims, it is deeply rooted in this religion. The second part of the paper is a case study of two majority-Muslim, Middle Eastern groups among whom the practice is still very common, Egyptian Arabs and Kurds. Based on the available data, the writer examines the prevalence, type and underlying motivations of FGC in these two groups. In the third part, the writer discusses Western perceptions of FGC and cultural double standards in the contemporary Western debate.
