Ireland: Migrant parents convicted for “appalling act of cruelty” in first female genital mutilation case

“An African couple in Dublin has been convicted of having female genital mutilation (FGM) performed on their 21-month-old daughter, in the first such case in the Republic of Ireland.”

Bravo to Judge Elma Sheahan, who stated that “the child suffered an “appalling act of cruelty” in the “most egregious breach of trust by those presumed to be the protectors of their infant child.” Whatever barbaric norms that are accepted abroad should not be tolerated in Western societies. To accept them would be a violation of the principle of equality of rights and human rights for all. Yet it has become mainstream to permit such practices in the name of “diversity.”

Although many try to argue that female genital mutilation (FGM) is not Islamic, it is: see Sunan Abu Dawud 41:5251 and Reliance of the Traveler (Umdat al-Salik) e4.3.

This abuse is rampant in Ireland. “In October, Breitbart London reported that as many as 6,000 women and girls have had their genitals mutilated in Ireland, with another 3,000 currently at risk of having the gruesome procedure inflicted upon them.” These high numbers are merely in Ireland, and, of course, doesn’t include unknown cases. All over the West, this abuse against children and infants continues; its root cause lies in the idea of the inherent inferiority of women in Islam. Yet the sensibilities of Islamic supremacists and “diversity” hustlers have been deemed more important than the well-being of the victims.

“Parents Convicted in First Female Genital Mutilation Case in Ireland,” by Kurt Zindulka, Breitbart, January 30, 2020:

An African couple in Dublin has been convicted of having female genital mutilation (FGM) performed on their 21-month-old daughter, in the first such case in the Republic of Ireland.

A man and wife of African origin have been jailed after they “aided and abetted, counselled or procured” someone to perform female genital mutilation upon their 21-month-old daughter. The man has been sentenced to five-and-a-half years and his wife will serve a term of four years and nine months.

The couple, who will remain unnamed to protect the identity of the child, pleaded not guilty to procuring FGM, claiming in the trial that their daughter had suffered the injury as a result of falling onto a toy while not wearing a diaper, according to RTE.

Their version of events was disputed health professionals in the trial who argued that it was clearly a case of female genital mutilation. Sri Paran, the paediatric surgeon who performed surgery on the girl to stop the bleeding, said that the injury was not accidental.

Sentencing the African couple, Judge Elma Sheahan said that the child suffered an “appalling act of cruelty” in the “most egregious breach of trust by those presumed to be the protectors of their infant child”.

The practise of FGM, in which the cutting or removing of female sex organs is performed on girls, is common within the cultures of some African nations and Muslim-majority countries, where it is used as a preventative measure against women having sex before marriage.

The barbaric procedure not only impacts victims physically but can also lead to long-lasting mental health issues later in life.

Female genital mutilation was first criminalised in the Republic of Ireland in 2012 and carries a maximum sentence of 14 years, however, no one has been jailed for the offence until now…..
