The right to practice a belief, a culture, or a religion ends at the skin of other persons. A religion, belief, culture, or person that accepts, encourages, or does a wrongful act, wounds its loved ones and shames itself. Being in jail five years is a shame and a dishonor. Genital cutting is not a culture, a religion, a belief, or a commandment. Genital cutting is not a hygiene or public health issue.
Genital mutilation is a crime.
