Hetepu,
This is just my 3rd swim in the ocean of boards. I have not really responded to anything because I think that people tend to get a little out of control. Still though I am really enjoying(because of its educational intent) this discussion "around" female genital mutilation. I say "around" because people keep getting off of the subject -mainly as a show of ego.

I appreciate Naijaboy's spin on things because it speaks to the reality that America tends to program our minds with a worldview that defines all "others" as inferior-as if its own shiznit don't stink! This country cannot stand on any moral ground sturdy enough to respectfuly criticize another people, another culture, or another practice.

Furthermore, I must give some props to Solarus. I read some of your words on KMT. I appreciate the education brother. You remind me of sun-one I know from from Brooklyn. Talk with you all in a minute.
