Accidentally posted it on the OT board earlier, but figured it would be a better discussion here.

Sunni militants from the Islamic State have ordered all girls and women aged 11 to 46 in and around the city of Mosul to undergo female genital mutilation, the UN reported. The potential number of victims is estimated at 4 million.
The shocking news, adding to an already long list of crimes reportedly committed by the militants since the takeover of northern Iraq last month, was broken by UN resident and humanitarian coordinator in Iraq, Jacqueline Badcock.
"This is something very new for Iraq, particularly in this area, and is of grave concern and does need to be addressed," she told reporters in Geneva by videolink from Arbil on Thursday.
"This is not the will of Iraqi people, or the women of Iraq in these vulnerable areas covered by the terrorists," she added.
The Islamic State, formerly known as ISIS, has taken over large portions of Iraq with the goal of establishing a fundamentalist Sunni Islamic state in the territories of Iraq and Syria. Since then they have launched a campaign to cleanse ethnic and religious minorities in the territory they control, sending thousands of refugees fleeing for their lives.

HA HA except Obama was shipping ISIS cash and equipment for most of the past year.

It's almost a certainty that Iraq would be better off and we wouldn't be in any more danger if we'd just left Saddam Hussein in power.

So Russians have the blood of 295 on their hands for MH17 and the US has the genitals of 4 million on their hands for this

I thought about that, but I also though about the hundreds of thousands of his own people he gassed.

How are those cities not overwhelmed with Shia fighters yet? It's mind boggling. ISIS is outnumbered 10:1 or more, yet they are still in control?

Religions by their very nature are fricked up. Just large socially acceptable cults/social clubs by and large. I've got no problem with spirituality. Religious dogma just fricks up true spirituality.

Then, "fricked up religion" would be the OPPOSITE of Oxymoron

Female Circumcision:
From Wiki:
quote:
Female genital mutilation (FGM), also known as female genital cutting and female circumcision, is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as "all procedures that involve partial or total removal of the external female genitalia or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons."[2] FGM is practised as a cultural ritual by ethnic groups in 27 countries in sub-Saharan and Northeast Africa, and to a lesser extent in Asia, the Middle East and within immigrant communities elsewhere.[8] It is typically carried out, with or without anaesthesia, by a traditional circumciser using a knife or razor.[9] The age of the girls varies from weeks after birth to puberty; in half the countries for which figures were available in 2013, most girls were cut before the age of five.[5]
The practice involves one or more of several procedures, which vary according to the ethnic group. They include removal of all or part of the clitoris and clitoral hood; all or part of the clitoris and inner labia; and in its most severe form (infibulation) all or part of the inner and outer labia and the closure of the vagina. In this last procedure, which the WHO calls Type III FGM, a small hole is left for the passage of urine and menstrual blood,

The facts are that Iraq was lost under Obama's watch.
Obama's to blame, because his policies and "leadership" are lacking.
The Commandant of the Marine Corps agrees with me.
