The man who took his 9 month old baby daughter to Indonesia for FGM has now been sentenced after pleading guilty. His sentence was for 12 months jail Suspended which is almost unbelievable.

The baby had her clitoris removed and underwent labial fusion, which is Type 3 FGM and the most serious.

This abuse took place between February and March 2012 and was discovered after the mother took the child to a doctor on another matter. The doctor reported the FGM.

One wonders when the courts will start to take FGM seriously. With all the current talk about violence to women, this sentence is a complete joke.

No doubt the man belongs to a religion whose preachers would like to pretend they are "professionals" within society. The "professional" advice given this man should be investigated and the priest involved (possibly his entire church, if it turns out this is policy) should be charged with both professional negligence and fraudulently impersonating a genuine professional qualified to give advice on surgical matters.

More than one religious sect would come a cropper quickly....

Of course, this says more about Australia and its gutless politicians and judiciary than than it says about Islam and the barbarity of its beliefs. We have always known that Muslims sexually mutilate females. So, why let such barbarians into our country? What the halfwit who handed down a 12 month suspended sentence has done is to advertise to the rest of the barbarians that it is OK to mutilate children because their religion exempts them from the severe punishment that would fall on anyone else if they did the same thing. There is one law for for about 98% of the population, and another law for people who came here, mostly illegally. How insane is that! The elite in Australia has willfully rejected our culture and values to pacify savages who should never have been here in the first place.

shocking that we should import those who multilate young girls however many in this country are indifferent about the thousands we multilate in the mothers wombs.

Compare the damage done to a person for an entire lifetime by FGM to that done by rape or even by kiddyfiddling, and adjust penalties for it accordingly. Other measures that would demonstrate that we give a tuppeny about human rights:

.abolish parole boards
.legislate minimum 10 year sentences for domestic violence
.same for non-domestic assault
.stop importing anti-human "cultures" including Islam
.amend 18C to ensure that it does not relate to any religion whatsoever (e.g. see http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2006/1/schedule and scroll down to 29J)
