1 FGM and MGM is often justified by religion
2 religious justification is not the same as religious requirement
3 it is not true that MGM is found "only" in very poor countries ... a study on the number of women and girls in the U.S. who are at risk of or have been subjected to FGM. According to it, the number is estimated to be 513,000, more than three times higher than an earlier estimate based on 1990 data.
4 the fact is wherever it is found non-consensual GM is equally objectionable.
1 The mistake you make there is the same often made by people with extremely poor reading skills. They assume incorrectly that the god of the Bible instituted human sacrifice, slaughtering infants and other primitive practices because such are found in the Bible but not modern secular life. Rather those practices were found already in the primitive world, the bad choices of extremely primitive people. The god of the Bible gathered a people to establish a more humane civilization. Over time it was successful in changing attitudes.
2 Broken clocks.
3 Because you never studied and do not understand statistical analysis you failed to notice that you depend on a "statistical outlier" here. Less than one in six hundred people in the United States means you have a "statistical outlier." I'm not wrong. You are. The alarming increase is attributable to people arriving from or emulating primitive societies.
Also because you never studied and do not understand statistical analysis you failed to notice that correlation is not causation. In most well conducted studies when there is a correlation there might well be a causation found with finer tuned surveys. However in many cases even the best methods are not able to establish a cause.
If out of 25 bank robbers 22 of them are members of a chess club, that by no means indicates that the chess club caused any of them to be bank robbers. Here is an example of correlation indeed without causation. It might be true that all 22 are extremely poor chess players. That really makes no difference though.
Similarly the fact that primitive people claim religion as a cause is no establishment that they are correct.
Repeat after me, "correlation is not causation."
4 "Objectionable" is an opinion, not a fact. You are often confused about those things.
