The ACLU has sold out to Islamic interests some time ago as they now represent CAIR in their filings of court cases demanding Sharia law be recognized as legitimate in the USA. Sold out to the Moslems so should be no surprise that they oppose the bill criminalizing female genital mutilation which is a practice of the Islamic community. It's a wonder the Liberals haven't opposed this legislation in their mistaken understanding of religious liberty. In a message dated 5/31/2017 5:15:25 A.M.

ACLU opposes Maine bill criminalizing female genital mutilation May 30, 2017 3:49 pm By _Robert Spencer_ (https://www.jihadwatch.org/author/samir) http://tinyurl.com/y9ehbv76 “Circumcision is obligatory (for every male and female) (by cutting off the piece of skin on the glans of the penis of the male, but circumcision of the female is by cutting out the bazr ‘clitoris’ [this is called khufaadh ‘ female circumcision’]).” — ‘Umdat al-Salik e4.3, translated by Mark Durie, The Third Choice, p. 64 Why is it obligatory? Because Muhammad is held to have said so: “Abu al- Malih ibn Usama’s father relates that the Prophet said: ‘Circumcision is a law for men and a preservation of honour for women.’” — Ahmad Ibn Hanbal 5:75 “Narrated Umm Atiyyah al-Ansariyyah: A woman used to perform circumcision in Medina. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said to her: ‘Do not cut severely as that is better for a woman and more desirable for a husband.’” — Abu Dawud 41:5251 “Do not cut severely,” but not “Do not cut.” That’s why it is so common around the world, and why it is certain to become increasingly common in the United States, particularly with help from the ACLU, which doubtless wants to avoid appearing to be “Islamophobic.” (https://cdn.jihadwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/140327-fgm-tools_8848dfa4754b4ff1bec6ead22b1b2e8c.nbcnews-ux-960-800.jpg) “ACLU Opposes Maine Bill Criminalizing Female Genital Mutilation,” by Anders Hagstrom, _Daily Caller_ (http://dailycaller.com/2017/05/26/aclu-opposes-maine-bill-criminalizing-female-genital-mutilation/?utm_campaign=atdailycall er&utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=Social) , May 26, 2017 (thanks to Ari): The American Civil Liberties Union launched a vocal opposition this week against a Maine bill criminalizing female genital mutilation (FGM), Mainely Media reports. Republican Rep. Heather Sirocki is _sponsoring the bill_ (http://sentry.mainelymediallc.com/news/2017-05-26/Community/Mutilation_bill_would_protect_mino r_girls.html) , saying that it would classify performing FGM as a Class B crime in the state, punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a $20,000 fine. The bill would also punish the parent or guardian of the victim. However, the Maine ACLU staunchly opposes the protection. ACLU spokesman Oamshri Amarasingham said that the risk of mutilation isn’t worth expanding Maine’s criminal code. The Maine Coalition Against Sexual Assault also supported the ACLU, arguing that FGM is not happening in Maine. Sirocki, however, pointed to a 2012 report from the Center for Disease Control, which found 500,000 victims of FGM in the US. Furthermore, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement found that 400 individuals have been arrested and 785 deported for FGM violations nationwide since 2003. Maine, Sirocki said, is one of the eight highest-risk areas in the US for FGM. The practice has proven to be so rampant in the state that it has received special federal funding to combat it. Sirocki’s bill would also criminalize “vacation cutting,” the practice of flying briefly overseas to subject minors to FGM in nations that haven’t banned the practice. While FGM has been a crime federally since 1996, Maine is one of the highest-risk areas in the country for the practice, and Sirocki said that law enforcement needs to be able to try offenders on the state level…. ____________________________________ (https://www.avast.com/antivirus) This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. _www.avast.com_ (https://www.avast.com/antivirus) (mip://0ca2f3b8/default.html#m_-5021254250540447782_m_-4179333565296243295_m_2821435402399559284_DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2) __._,_.___ ____________________________________ Posted by: "Beowulf" <[email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) > ____________________________________ _Visit Your Group_ (https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/grendelreport/info;_ylc=X3oDMTJmbXIzampnBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIwMTk0ODA2BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTMy MzY2NwRzZWMDdnRsBHNsawN2Z2hwBHN0aW1lAzE0OTYxODc0NzA-) * _New Members_ (https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/grendelreport/members/all;_ylc=X3oDMTJnYjI1aXVwBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIwMTk0ODA2BGdycHNwSW QDMTcwNTMyMzY2NwRzZWMDdnRsBHNsawN2bWJycwRzdGltZQMxNDk2MTg3NDcw) 1 (https://groups.yahoo.com/neo;_ylc=X3oDMTJlMWw3cjRwBF9TAzk3NDc2NTkwBGdycElkAzIwMTk0ODA2BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTMyMzY2NwRzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNnZnAEc3RpbWUDMTQ5NjE4 NzQ3MA--) • _Privacy_ (https://info.yahoo.com/privacy/us/yahoo/groups/details.html) • _Unsubscribe_ (mailto:[email protected]?subject=Unsubscribe) • _Terms of Use_ (https://info.yahoo.com/legal/us/yahoo/utos/terms/) __,_._,___ -- -- Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
