Some muslim bloke says that female circumcision is wrong, after an eleven year old child dies.

While most of the civilised world has already recognised and realised that this sort of barbarism is not only utterly vile but completely unnecessary, it seems that those crazy muslims don’t necessarily think so unless it explicitly says so in their scripture, or someone in a silly hat says that their scripture says so after a bit of creative textual massaging.

While the end result is A Good Thing™, it still doesn’t get away from the incredible world of magical thinking, and merely reinforces the notion that religion is a bad reason for doing good.

It’s also a shame that another eleven year old girl (I’d bet a lot on the argument that she wasn’t the first) had to die for these wingnuts to realise this.
