Female Genital Mutilation and the Concept of Religious Violence in the Western World
Abstract
This document presents an article on Female Genital Mutilation and the Concept of Religious Violence in the Western World. The presence of FGM as a firmlyentrenched component of some Islamic communities illuminates the need to ideologically distance examples of patriarchal narrative from religious practice during deliberations surrounding public policy. As part of the contemporary and evolving human rights dialogue that incorporates an understanding of freedom of religion, we must intentionally seek to categorically separate patriarchal imperatives from religious values, or risk perpetuating systems of genderbased violence at the institutional level.
