Sometimes clitoris is removed and the hole is opened with a knif on the wedding day

before the speeches, just after the guests have sat down to dinner...

There are several types of mutilation, ranging from a minor piercing of the clitoris to the complete removal of all the external genitalia.

In some cases, what remains is then stitched up with coarse thread - leaving a tiny hole, perhaps just the size of a matchstick, for urinating and menstruation.

How the dickens does FGM fall under "Light Relief"? As a spare-time human rights activist, I can assure you it's nothing of the kind.

A very good point. Let's not start any threads on the holocaust in case they end up here too

Agree male circumcision is a different league entirely. But I do not understand how this mutilation is allowed (for non-medical reasons) in the 21st century. Let people go for circumcision themselves when they're old enough if they're that keen.
