Not sure. I'll check my more recent text reference when I get to it later. I also have to limit my internet research of topics like this mainly to the evenings because of my present location.

Evening here is later than in LOS.

Does this fit the definition:

'Worldwide, more than 130 million girls and women are believed to have undergone female genital mutilation. And each year, 2 million girls are estimated to be at risk of undergoing FGM.'

Here's the full piece:

I've dug out these:

Babie dies after unsanitary ritual circumcision.

UPDATED Circumcision and Sucking on Penis by Rabbis is a Jewish Practice

Another disgusting religious practice. - By Christopher Hitchens - Slate Magazine (Christopher Hitchens has written a book called 'God Is Not Great')

Not muslim mutilation, granted, but another example of how primitive are these religions.

See No. 45 for an example.

Religion seems to be the root of the oppression of women generally, and the liberation of women in the west must be related to the declining popularity of the church.

There's certainly a link, but don't you think that religion has been responsible for repressing male and female alike?

Most certainly! Religion has been a tool used to subjugate the masses to the will of the ruling elite for thousands of years.

So what do you make of MLK's:

Thank God Almighty, I'm free at last!

Bit of an oxymoron isn't it?

MLK, a master at using the pulpit as a means to bring the masses under his sway. For his audience "free" had a slightly different connotation than freedom from control by the ruling class. None the less it is a bit of an oxymoron.
