Immigration to the U.S. from African and Middle Eastern countries—where the practice of FGM is a deeply entrenched cultural tradition—is the sole factor for the rise in numbers, says Mark Mather, a demographer at PRB who led the data analysis. There has not been an increase in the practice happening in the U.S. itself, he says.FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION ON THE RISE IN THE U.S.

The number of women and girls at risk for female genital mutilation (FGM) in the United States has more than doubled in the past 10 years, according to new figures released on Friday.
The data, the first on FGM in the U.S. for a decade, is being published to coincide with the United Nations’ International Day of Zero Tolerance for FGM.
More than half a million women and girls in the U.S. are at risk of undergoing FGM in the U.S. or abroad, or have already undergone the procedure, including 166,173 under the age of 18, according to the Population Reference Bureau (PRB). ...

The next two sentences in that article you just quoted.
Thank you.
No you are just to retarded to LOOK AT THE GAWD DAM SEARCHES IDIOTActually the existence of FGM was exposed to the West back in the '70s by that trendy leftist liberal Gloria Steinem in Ms Magazine. The article was called "The International Crime of Female Genital Mutilation".
But --- you knew that, right?
What is your point, exactly? Are you saying that FGM is being done in the US and the authorities are intentionally not prosecuting it? Are the police/law enforcement not arresting people who practice it in the US? Should those who are having this done to their children in other countries be prosecuted here?
If you are saying FGM is being practiced in the US, do you have evidence of that?
What is your point Jesus christ WTF is the point . you seriously have to ask? gawd dam this Country is full of lunatics on steroids.
jUST LIKE YOUR OTHER IDIOTS UP THERE WHO CAN'T SEE THE EVIDENCE THAT CLEARLY STATES IT IS FROM THE . ............N . WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION ARE YOU PEOPEL SO FKD UP IN THE HEAD YOU DO NOT SEE IN THE HEADLINES THE ARTICLE " WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION'........
GAWD DAM, JESUS CRIPE!!!!!

Did you not notice that your infowars article, and the image you posted from The Hill in the OP, are regarding the US?
No I noticed that some can't click the link in the corner of the ARTICLE so to save then from looking like a.h I provided an image where it SAYS THE HILL on the left side corner of the article.

FGM has been a crime in America since 1996. Federal law provides that, “whoever knowingly circumcises, excises, or infibulates the whole or any part of the labia majora or labia minora or clitoris of another person who has not attained the age of 18 years shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both.”
Female genital mutilation is a crime in the US — so why is it rarely prosecuted?

Someone ought to snip a little off his you know what. With scissors.
I suppose if we really stand firm on this practice and make it illegal no matter how hard they try to wiggle around it, some day it will be a thing of the past. No one from our culture thinks it is acceptable. But see, that's the thing. It's not our culture and there is deeply held belief that girls who have not been cut are disreputable. Sluts/low class.
MindWars faulted Maine for not passing an additional felony law for FGM, but the legislature DID pass legislation to launch an outreach and education effort in the immigrant communities where FGM is popular, hopefully convincing them that it is not a good choice for their daughters.
Who knows. Changing the cultural beliefs is the best way to handle it, rather than throwing parents in jail for honoring their culture. It would be similar to outlawing circumcision for Jews.
I mean not really similar in that one is a religious rite and the other a cultural tradition that spreads across many religions, cultures, and nations.OWWWWW !Female Genital Mutilation on the Rise in the U.S.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 200 million females alive today have been subjected to female genital mutilation (FGM). Aliens from the 30 countries where this practice is concentrated are immigrating to the United States, and a serious effort is not being made to prevent them from practicing FGM here.

Just turn your head it will all go away or you can act like a trendy leftist liberal and deny it even exist that's always the easy cowardly way out. They're experts at that.
Which liberals deny that female genital mutilation exists?
Fact of the matter is- it is liberals who have always taken the lead in combating female genital mutilation- such as the National Organization for Women.
See if you can find a doctor that performs it in this country. Good luck
We have a Somali community in Maine and the girls having the procedure done are being taken to the Caribbean or back to Africa to have it done.
And the abusive parent needs to be arrested when they set foot here.
Oh but it's their culture that makes it ok.
Why do you think that their culture makes FGM okay?

I figured someone would jump on me for comparing FGM to circumcision, but I wasn't trying to say they were the same. Just that the same kinds of cultural beliefs fuel both procedures in the two groups.
