As you can see though, examples of non-consensual genital mutilation, whether FGM or MGM in being justified by religious reasons and cultural practice a lot of the time are broadly similar after all, and not "totally non comparable" - which is the point. QED.

   I suspect you're confusing third world trends with "religion" unfairly. I suspect that's because you assume religion is nothing more than a primitive social phenomenon found only in the third world. I suspect that's because you are not capable of understanding religion, it being far above the plain notions you have of it.

   You keep telling me I have to accept that stupid people do in fact represent religion and that you may criticize them and religion for it. Then you complain when I point out you are not so smart yourself. I suppose some stupid people think they should represent religion but reject your claim that religion itself is stupid or the cause of their activities. There are plenty of superior scientists who believe in a god and practice religion. Science is totally inadequate to deal with all life's problems as has been explained to you many times in many ways.

   You will have to give it up. Your war against religion is over and you lost.

None of which mitigates the observation that, broadly speaking, FGM and MGM share their roots and justification in religious and cultural practices and are very often enacted on those unable to give consent. Which is, still, the point.

BTW: Please quote when I have told you that "stupid people do in fact represent religion". Otherwise this is just another straw man.
