[QUOTE="mehdreamer, post: 1277368, member: 10744"] I agree. I still consider FGM as barbaric by today's standards...but I can see the end goal of it and what they were trying to achieve back then.. The idea behind it is sexual restraint for females. In a desert environment where resources are scarce, tribes cannot afford to have their females slut around and get pregnant. It is also linked to virginity as it help increase female's marriageability. A marriage, means new alliances for the tribe, etc. It predates Islam...but since it was part of the social order, Islam had no objections to its practice and it became part of it, although there are debates among "scholars".
