US federal judge: Sharia Law takes precedence over American law and female genital mutilation (FGM) is legal

That is the factually accurate headline you should have seen all around the United States of America. American mothers and daughters, American families, you should be absolutely incensed. Your American law is immaterial. Muslim Sharia Law in Michigan takes precedence. You women, mothers and daughters, you must be more accepting of different cultures. “Foreign” women who complain about this? Well, they simply need to shut up and move on. Get a life. Focus on their Muslim men.

Muslims are applauding the world over. They are winning because they know the West is too stupid and too weak to oppose their values and laws.

From FoxNews.com:

Law banning female genital mutilation ruled unconstitutional; Michigan doctors cleared of charges

by Lukas Mikelionis

A federal judge on Tuesday ruled that the U.S. law banning female genital mutilation was unconstitutional and dismissed charges against several doctors in Michigan who carried out the procedure on underage girls as part Muslim sect’s religious practice.

U.S. District Judge Bernard Friedman ruled that Congress had no authority to enact a law that criminalizes female genital mutilation (FGM). “As despicable as [FGM] may be… [Congress] overstepped its bounds” by banning the procedure, the judge said.

The ruling came after defense lawyers challenged the 22-year-old genital mutilation law that hasn’t been used until 2017 when Dr. Jumana Nagarwala was arrested and accused of mutilating the genitalia of young girls.

What is FGM or Female Genital Mutilation? Let’s look.

Are you disgusted yet? Have you ceased wincing and quivering, demanding that I stop writing about the topic? Won’t happen. This isn’t theoretical. This is occurring here in the United States of America. Right under your noses. Thanks to Islam. The religion of peace and tolerance. And oh yes. Misogyny and female subjugation.

Nagarwala allegedly headed a conspiracy, which lasted more than 12 years and involved seven other people, and led to the mutilation of about 100 girls, according to prosecutors, as part of a religious procedure practiced by members of the Dawoodi Bohra, a Muslim sect.

While the charges of performing FGM were dropped, Nagarwala and other conspirators are still facing conspiracy and obstruction charges, according to the Detroit Free Press.

A spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney’s Office said officials are reviewing the judge’s decision and will consider appealing it.

Women’s rights groups condemned the ruling, saying it’s a setback to the rights of women in the U.S.

“It’s a giant step backward in the protection of women’s and girls’ rights,” Shelby Quast, the Americas director of Equality Now, told the newspaper. “Especially when there is a global movement to eliminate this practice.”

Muslim women obviously want this, they’re “dying” for it — or it wouldn’t be happening, correct?

Not quite so much.

(Shelby Quast) said that 23 states don’t criminalize FGM, noting that “parents are aware of where there are laws against it and where there are not. And they will take advantage of that.”

Of course. Why wouldn’t you want your daughter to experience no sexual satisfaction whatsoever for the rest of her life because you’ve gone out of your way to ensure that her clitoris is removed partially or entirely by sanitary or completely unsanitary means?

Michigan state Sen. Rick Jones also slammed the ruling.

“I’m angry that the federal judge dismissed this horrific case that affected upwards of a hundred girls who were brutally victimized and attacked against their will,” he said in a statement. “This is why it was so important for Michigan to act. We set a precedent that female genital mutilation will not be tolerated here … I hope other states will follow suit.”

Here is Ayaan Hirsi Ali with Dave Rubin on The Rubin Report.

The case in Michigan prompted state officials to pass a state law officially banning FGM. The law carries a penalty of 15 years in prison for assisting or performing the procedure, but applies only to future instances. Nagarwala and other members of the sect were charged under an old federal law passed by Congress.

The federal law was passed in 1996 under the Commerce Clause of the Constitution. The federal judge ruled the banning of the procedure under the clause was unconstitutional.

“There is nothing commercial or economic about FGM,” Friedman wrote in the opinion. “[FGM] is not part of a larger market and it has no demonstrated effect on interstate commerce. The Commerce Clause does not permit Congress to regulate a crime of this nature.”

Shannon Smith, Nagarwala’s lawyer, told the Free Press that they are “unbelievably happy” after the judge’s ruling, saying: “The impact is huge. It eliminates four defendants from the indictment, and it severely punctures major holes in the government’s case.”

Oh come on BZ. You have to admit that FGM isn’t really that bad.

In this case, I’ll let you draw the appropriate conclusions.

But where is the moral outrage? Where is the moral outrage by Feminists?
 
Where is the moral outrage by people who hate that this is being forced by Islam on black Somalis?
 
Where is the moral outrage that this is being done in the name of religion against women? Against GIRLS, who have no right of refusal in the cultures administered?
 
Where is the moral outrage from everyone? Do BZ’s Reversal Theory: what would occur if, say, Catholics decided they were going to surgically remove the clitoris from little girls?
 
The US would be reviled. Other nations would be reviled. The entire planet would be reviled.
 
Why is this different? I can sum it up in one word: FEAR. Fear of labeling. You see, this is the result of Identity Politics at work and now, finally, we can see some concrete evidence of the negatives of identity politics.
 
Sure, we knew Identity Politics were bad. But now Identity Politics have gotten to the point where GOWPs — Guilty Overeducated White People — and OTHERS now — feel that they in fact have NO RIGHT, much less any kind of “moral standing” to object to the abject mutilation of little girls for some kind of arcane and demented Islamic religious notion about sex. It reinforces what many in the Middle East have known for years about Islam as practiced in the Middle East. Women are for procreation and little boys are for pleasure. And damn women for daring to acquire any sort of sexual pleasure from procreation.

Let me be brutally blunt. I am a helmet and not an anteater. However, I should note that in no case was my frenulum or the tissue delta on the underside of my penis below the corona shaved off or removed. Or my balls. Or my cock itself. Or any other odd or adjunct appurtenances. My orgasms are just nifty-peachy, thank you.

Wake the hell up, America.

BZ’s Berserk Bobcat Saloon, “The Aftermath,” Thursday, May 25th, 2017, featuring guest/author Jim Curtis

My thanks to the SHR Media Network™ for allowing me to broadcast in their studio and over their air twice weekly, Tuesdays and Thursdays, as well as appear on the Sack Heads Radio Show™ each Wednesday evening.

As an aside, because the ™ symbol so annoys my Favorite Troll™ I’ve decided to apply it elsewhere as you can see.

Our special guest on the show was veteran and author J.L. “Jim” Curtis from OldNFO.org, Jim’s author page on Amazon.com describes him this way:

JL Curtis was born in Louisiana in 1951 and was raised in the Ark-La-Tex area. He began his education with guns at age eight with a SAA and a Grandfather that had carried one for ‘work’. He began competitive shooting in the 1970s, an interest he still pursues time permitting. He is a retired Naval Flight Officer, having spent 22 years serving his country, an NRA instructor, a retired engineer in the defense industry, and now a starving author. He lives in North Texas, He currently has two series in work. The Grey Man, a Texas based current fiction series revolving around LEOs and Marines. And the Rimworld Series, started with a short story that was an Amazon Best Seller for five days after its release.

I’ve read Jim’s work, I purchased all of his books (as you can see above) and I believe in his writing. For those who enjoy military/law enforcement-oriented books, Jim’s THE GREY MAN series is highly recommended. For those of a sci-fi bent, Jim’s newest book (the beginning of a series) RIMWORLD: Into The Green will please those of a more realistic science fiction nature. Either way you can’t go wrong with a Jim Curtis book. I’m a reprobate bastard so I like the actual printed books that I can hold in my fetid paws.

You can (heavy sigh) acquire his books on Kindle as well. If you must. Harumph.

Obama: comparing ISIS to the Crusades

Obama continually — as do other Islam apologists — conflates and compares ISIS to the Crusades.  As in: Islam vs Christianity, with Christianity the abject and utterly violent loser and Evildoer in the equation.

This specious argument couldn’t be more wrong.

Megyn Kelly weighs in:

After that, this video in a more concise version:

And finally, the full 22 minute video:

They are right.  Words matter.  And when Obama speaks before any group and there are TelePrompters involved, the words Mr Obama speaks have been vetted and parsed and sifted with the greatest amount of care possible.  When he says this, he means this.

Which is why when Obama refers to “people (who) committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ,” he’s speaking about Christians in the Crusades and the Spanish Inquisition.

This age-old saw is the first trotted out by Muslim apologists.  The major historical problem people don’t much seem to consider is: the Crusades occurred 800 years ago, and the inquisition was 600 years ago.

Since then, the blood and death and violence involving religion has been at the hands of Muslims, in the name of Islam.  Not Christianity.

Charles Krauthammer said:

“Everything he does is to minimize what’s happening, to hold us back and to essentially deny the gravity of what’s happening. That’s why today he had to compare it to the Crusades and to the Inquisition, which is simply astonishing. Mr. President, the Crusades were 800 years ago, and the Inquisition 500 years ago. What’s happening right now is not Christians on the march. It is radical Islam.”

“The only reason Obama got involved with ISIS in the first place was precisely the public reaction to the video beheading of the two Americans,” said Krauthammer. “If that hadn’t happened, he never would have stirred himself.”

Mr Krauthammer is entirely correct.

Obama still can’t say “Islamic terror.”  And ISIL is not Islamic, according to Mr Obama.

Islam: moderates or not?

Meaning, as I wrote, do we fundamentally have Islam wrong?

I think we do.

Are so-called “Islamists” in the majority or are so-called “moderates”?

Let’s watch:

Any conclusions one can draw?  Something similar to my core phrase, “Islam is as Islam does”?

Clearly, yes.  Over 50% of Muslims on the planet are not “moderate” but are in fact radical.  This goes against the meme of the “good moderate and peaceful Muslim.”

“Moderate Muslims” are, frankly, a statistical myth.  Thank you, Ben Shapiro.

Western civilization has Islam wrong:

KoranAbsolutely correct.

Western civilization and nations have Islam completely wrong, as Islam has been telling you for quite some time.

It isn’t Islamists that aren’t following the Quran.

It’s so-called “moderate Muslims.”

Ponder that for a moment.

Then read “Why Islam Creates Monsters.”
