As Paul Harvey used to say: It is not one world. Not everyone everywhere is compatible with the West.

I feel sure that WHO and Human Fights would condemn this practice, whatever the point of view or perspective, east, west, north or south.

To cut a child with a knife other than for medical emergencies is not permissible.

I think you mean Rights, fobzy, but I'm afraid I can't go along with Michael here and fobzy has echoed what most ot the world would feel.

If you can get someone to stop doing something they believe they have been divinely been instructed to do then God bless you for it.

Would you mind terribly stopping female circumcision next? Unlike the cut on the forehead, that's not going to grow back.

And after that, please stop honor killing. That cannot be undone.

I have of course complained about all these things. But what if we cannot stop them? And now these practices are being brought to our shores by people who believe they are right and who "know" we are wrong....

Michael, you are right, fixing things is a tall order, but we could stop it infesting our own shores, before it is too late.

As the old saying goes, life wasn't meant to be easy.

Glad to have your continuing comment, with thanks.

I just read that during an eclipse in 2001 Muslim youths, taking the natural event as a sign of a wrathful God, went on a rampage and burned Christian churches, buildings and businesses.

They want to turn the clock back. Way back. Any western woman understanding that should be more than a little concerned.

Eclipse triggers Nigerian riot


I was led to this place by some articles wondering what is to become of Nigeria after their first terrorist hits the world scene on Christmas Day. The authors say nothing good.

Circumcision, of any form, is far more cruel than this, in my opinion. Not that I'm for cutting children in any way shape or form, but I don't think you can condemn one activity here and yet support the other.

Thanks for your visit, Jack, but please be assured I am not supporting the other activities to which you refer.

This photo featured in to-day's collection, and I headed it 'How very cruel" and it is just that.

The photo speaks for itself.
