Female genital mutilation is only really prevalent in Africa and is practically unknown in the Middle east. It also has sweet fuck all to do with Islam, in fact it's practised in many Christian areas of Africa as well. As for women, many do work, hell in Iran many are probably an better shot than you are. Boy doesn't it suck when you can't fall back on stereotypes anymore? Might even have to look at the real situation and notice that.....oh my god it's not the same everywhere.
Bullseye. It's columns like that that keep me buying the guardian.
