FGM is also routinely executed in Christian countries like Ethiopia.
Anyway I do not see any reason why socialists or leftists (which should

solution to defend the rights of Hebrews worldwide as you suggested in a
previous message. According this logic any oppressed minority would be
entitled to establish its State.
