TigerPaw, Sorry, for taking so long to put your quote in context. Please correct me if I didn't understand what you were saying. Anyway here goes: RONBL started it by responding to a post from J_F Shepard, by posting an article from FrontPageMagazine.com, titled: "Islam's Hatred of the Clitoris" Message 16601928 You replied: That you felt that the practice was not a muslim custom but regional (which frankly was my understanding as well). Message 16601966 Ron replied: "97%...followed by some remarks that I will not post (as they were not civil...toward Egyptians). Message 16601984 You then responded: "DO you get the point that Egyptians are one Fked race No, but I chalk it up to ignorance. There is more that I don't know about Egypt that what I do. None the less, one of the lessons of multi-culturalism is that a truly Fked up race will not survive. That leads me to about 3 possibilities: 1) The practices are not as bad as they are depicted. 2) The claims are exaggerated or even lies. 3) The population has developed adaptations which ameliorate the effects of the practice." You then added that your bias was for #3, and mentioned that "cultural bonding" provided a measure of relief. Message 16602011
