Young girls need to have the tip of their “sexual sensitive part” cut off or “hypersexuality” will take over society and women will turn to multiple partners to satisfy their rampant sexual desires. So says Muslim Imam Shaker Elsayed, the resident imam at the Dar Al-Hijrah Islamic Center in Falls Church, Virginia. “In societies where circumcision
I was glad to be on One America News Network’s Tipping Point on May 12 to discuss the State Department video that tried to obscure the fact that female genital mutilation (FGM) is an Islamic problem. Watch below, and read my article in the Federalist about the issue. >
Two Michigan doctors and a spouse are being charged in the nation’s first federal criminal prosecution involving female genital mutilation (FGM), and the State Department wants to make sure we don’t get the wrong idea. “When we think of female genital mutilation, we usually think of African cultures and non-Christian religions,” says A.

What is at stake in the debate concerning whether Muslims and Christians worship the same God?

Today, we face an enemy that has killed about 60,000 U.S. and allied troops in the past decade — and just last month, killed more than 5,000 innocent civilians. Yet Sunday night, President Obama assured the American people that Islamic extremism represents only a “tiny fraction of Muslims.” And, he argued that his policy, which has
I’ve always known that God loves Muslims and I should too. But, to be honest, loving those who adhere to a religion that inspires heinous atrocities around the world has always been tough for me.
