Female Circumcision
Female circumcision encompasses a wide range of procedures, ranging in severity from a nick on the clitoral hood to cutting off all the external genitals and sewing up the vaginal opening. In its more extreme form, it is known as Female Genital Mutilation (FGM).
This Al Jazeera Report gives a very brief overview of the practice:
The acknowledged authority on female circumcision, the World Health Organization (WHO), recognizes four types of female circumcision:
|Excision of the prepuce with or without excision of part or all of the clitoris.
|Excision of the prepuce and clitoris together with partial or total excision of the labia minora.
|Excision of part or all of the external genitalia and stitching/narrowing of the vaginal opening (infibulation).
|Unclassified: includes pricking, piercing or incision of clitoris and/or labia; stretching of clitoris and/or labia; cauterization by burning of clitoris and surrounding tissues; scraping (angurya cuts) of the vaginal orifice or cutting (gishiri cuts) of the vagina; introduction of corrosive substances into the vagina to cause bleeding or herbs into the vagina with the aim of tightening or narrowing the vagina; any other procedure which falls under the definition of FGM given above
Age of Consent
The term is almost exclusively used to describe traditional or religious procedures on a minor, which requires the parents' consent because of the age of the girl. When the procedure is performed on and with the consent of an adult it is generally called clitoridectomy, or it may be part of labiaplasty or vaginoplasty.
What are the health implications of this procedure?
FGM has no health benefits, and it harms girls and women in many ways. It involves removing and damaging healthy and normal female genital tissue, and interferes with the natural functions of girls' and women's bodies. Immediate complications can include severe pain, shock, hemorrhage (bleeding), tetanus or sepsis (bacterial infection), urine retention, open sores in the genital region and injury to nearby genital tissue.
Does Female Circumcision happen in Singapore?
Yes. In Singapore's Muslim community, female circumcision involves nicking the prepuce, the skin covering the clitoris. It is markedly different from the more severe forms of genital mutilation. The procedure is usually done on babies or prepubescent children. Circumcisions in Singapore are done by female doctors at a handful of Muslim clinics. Anesthesia is generally not used. – source
Although a relatively common procedure, many young women are unaware that they have undergone this ritual or what it entails.
What is the religious basis for this procedure?
The practice is encouraged by some religious leaders however many historians say that there is no religious basis for this practice
According to the majority of ulama, circumcision is compulsory for men and women. It should be done early in life, preferably when still an infant, to avoid complications, prolong pain and embarrassment if done later in life. Any good Muslimah doctor can perform circumcision for women. It is just a cutting off the thin membrane on the top most part of the clitoris.
Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS)
Those practices originated 1,400 years ago, before the birth of the Prophet Mohammed, says Noor Aisha Binte Abdul Rahman, a professor at the National University of Singapore. But the custom has no religious basis and there are no guidelines except that it should not bring harm to believers, says Zhulkeflee Haji Ismail, manager of Singapore's Islamic Scholars and Religious Teachers Association. "Some people just follow customs without knowing what they're about," the scholar says. "Traditions die hard."

These are clear and well sized jars for storage. The lids have good seals and the jars themselves are well shaped.
I love these storage jars, they are perfect for counter and the fact that it is clear glass I love, I've stored rice, flour, quinoa, sugar in them and they are great!
So disappointed in this purchase. While filling one of the jars with sugar the BAG bumped into the jar and the jar broke! The jar is as thin and as fragile as an eggshell. I feel I spent a lot of money on these and it was wasted.
Not packed very well and first batch were broken by UPS. Second batch came through without a problem. They hold a lot of stuff and look very nice.
We ordered 3 packs of these Firenze Storage Jars to be delivered to the UK. After paying a great deal for packaging we were outraged to find that 5 out of the 12 jars arrived smashed due to poor packaging. We were really disappointed with Overstock.com as all it would have required is a little extra bubblewrap. The jars that arrived unmarked are lovely. It is such a shame that more care wasn't taken with the packaging.
Love the glass canisters. I can see when I need to replenish the items before we need them. And they don't take up much space on my countertop. I love them!
The storage jars are nice size and nice for storing everyday kitchen staples, such as, sugar, flour, coffee, rice, etc.

Hey Everyone,
Yesterday we killed Grand Widow Faerlina just tanking the enrage. (25 man)
Got to note that with 2 priest and 1 shaman heal my damage migration goes up to 87%. (armour cap 75% + 12% talents)
Thats 3 tank healers and 3 off-tank/raid healers.
So if ever you dont have a spear priest to CM the adds you can always use a over-gear druid tank with 3 heals and just nuke(AOE) down the adds.
